OTHER COMMANDS

minutes to lock a satellite solution and deliver a fix.
"GETSIG" will respond with the GSM 1 to 5 bar measurement and a SSI signal strength Indicator. The GPS
will show the number of satellites being tracked and fixes obtained. You need at least 3 Satellites for a fix.

Maximum recorded and Minimum recorded since last reset command ( 'TEMPR').
"NOFIX" turns OFF the GPS receiver and saves power. Send this to terminate location based services.
"TAMPER" activates the tamper sensing. The Factory sets Vigil into Tamper mode when shipped.
"NOTAMPER" Disables the TAMPER sensing. Use this if working on installation and you don’t want to be
sent messages. Don’t forget to enable it when finished.
"SIREN" activates the SIREN / STROBE( if these are installed) upon a Geo-fence transgression. These are
accessories not normally supplied with Vigil. The sirens we supply will trigger on a pulse from Vigil and
remain on for a period set by an internal timer in the siren. Cutting the wires to the siren will not disable it
once activated.
"NOSIREN" disables the Siren and Strobe if issued before a transgression is activated. If the Siren is
already activated, it will not turn it off. It will be up to the siren internal timer to time-out and reset itself. This
command only stops further triggering of external alarm devices. Contact us for other programmable siren
activation options.
