DRAFT TrimTrac 1.5 Technical Manual v0.3ab 55
The TriggerType variable refers to what event caused the device to transition
from the IDLE state. There are six TriggerTypes:
0=IDLE Timeout, T1
1=Motion Detected
2=Alert set “Activated” (Module-only)
3=Query
4=Scheduled Report
5=Stop Report
The primary ReportType variable can be either:
STATUS_MSG or
REPORT_POS.
The principal difference between STATUS_MSG and REPORT_POS is that
REPORT_POS contains position and related information whereas
STATUS_MSG does not contain such information. Please see page 127 for
complete details.
Please note that the TrimTrac 1.5 transmits messages other than just
STATUS_MSG and REPORT_POS messages; however, these other messages are
typically responses to queries received from the server application.
A Position Age flag is set depending upon whether motion has been detected since
the most recent position fix. The Position Age flag is set as follows:
0=Current (i.e. no motion since last position)
1=Aged (i.e. motion has occurred since last position)
Alert Handling – Vehicle Adapter or Control Module
When a Vehicle Adapter or Control Module is used with the TrimTrac 1.5, the
device is able to monitor and report on High, Medium and Low priority inputs as
shown in Figure 9, Vehicle Adapter Module Alert Wiring Diagram, on page 165.
Regardless of priority, each input will be in one of the following status states at
any given time:
0=Normal
1=Activated
2=Sent
3=Acknowledged
4=Monitor Activated
General Alert Handling
Unless the alert mode (as opposed to “alert status”) is configured as “3=Monitor-
only”, alerts are processed in descending order of priority. High Priority Alerts,
for instance, will always take precedence over Medium and Low Priority Alerts
and so on. Other than having their status included in any outgoing data messages,
