Data Logging Power Saving Mode

Power Saving Mode

By default, the Trimble NetRS receiver will operate continuously as long as power is available. For sites with limited power availability, the Power Saving Mode may be used to enable the receiver to power down and "sleep" between data logging sessions or between periods of operation.

Failsafe Wakeup Alarm

The Failsafe Wakeup Alarm defines a time during which the receiver will always power up and be available for communications regardless of the current state of session based data logging. The wakeup interval is user programmable, and the Failsafe Wakeup Alarm can be set to occur every 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, or 24 hours. This is useful as an aid to schedule periods of remote communications or to guarantee a period during the day during which remote communications may be performed even if no further sessions are scheduled. This also ensures that it will be possible to regain access to a remotely administered receiver operating in the Power Saving Mode even when all programmed sessions have been completed.

EXTREMELY IMPORTANT - If Power Saving Mode is enabled, and if no future session is pending, and if the Failsafe Wakeup Alarm is not enabled, it will not be possible to perform communications with a remote site. The receiver will not power up until the front panel Power button is pressed.
