WakeupDuration=0240 Daily X 03.10.0012
Wakeup Service Duration: The duration that the DCU 2+
will stay in normal operating mode. The default is 360
minutes (6 hours). For example, in low power mode the
DCU 2+ will wakeup for 6 hours every 72 hours. These
default values should never be adjusted without Aclara
Engineering direction.

Supply
WakeupPeriod=4320 Daily X 03.10.0012
Wakeup Period: The maximum amount of time between
service when operating in low power mode. The default
is 4320 minutes (72 hours). Every 72 hours, the DCU will
wake up and operation in normal operatign mode for the
duration of the service time. This default value should
never be adjusted without Aclara Engineering direction.
Power
Supply
WakeupStart=0360 Daily X 03.10.0012
Time of Day to Begin Wakeup Service: Local time of day
that the DCU will wake up during the wakeup service
period. Default is 1320 (10pm Local time). The DCU
estimates local time from longitude so the local wakeup
time may be off by an hour. This default value should
never be adjusted without Aclara Engineering direction.
Power
Supply
WinterEndDay= 42 Daily X 03.10.0012
Winter End Day: Desdonsl date when the SoC threshold
will revert to the Non-Winter threshold settings. This is
value is automatically calculated based on GPS-obtained
coordinates.
Power
Supply
WinterStartDay=325 Daily X 03.10.0012
Winter Start Day: Day of the year in which the Winter
State-of-Charge (SoC) threshold will become active. This
is value is automatically calculated based on
GPS-obtained coordinates.
Power
Supply
WinterThresholdFloor=20% Daily X 03.10.0012
Minimum SoC Threshold Setting for Winter Season. This
value sets a battery minimum State-of-Charge level that
the system can operate normally. This value can
override the Power Management System. For this
reason, recommend this value be set to less than 20%
SoC.
Power
Supply
WinterThresholdSoc=42% Daily X 03.10.0012
Current SoC Threshold for Winter: Threshold at which
the DCU 2+ will enter low power mode. This value will
vary based on DCU 2+ configuration. This is value is
automatically calculated based on GPS-obtained
coordinates.
Transceiver AvRSSI=-127.6,1920 Hourly X X
Method for reporting Average Background RSSI. A value
of 55 is used as an error code not a real measurement.
The first value provides the measurement, the second
value is used to denote the channel when coming from a
T-Board.
Transceiver GxHW X
Message value indicates hardware revision of transceiver
board type G. X will be a value 1-4 to indicate slot
number. These messages are sent following a reset and
with the transmission of test records from the DCU.
