The standby mode in the RZ1 system is designed to conserve power while ensuring the device remains ready for quick activation. This mode applies to both the RZ1 Vehicle Hub and Camera, allowing efficient operation without unnecessary power consumption.
What is Standby Mode?
Standby mode is a low-power state that the RZ1 system enters when the vehicle is turned off or when no activity is detected. While in this state, the system minimizes energy usage but remains connected and ready to resume full operation instantly when required.
How Standby Mode Works
Entering Standby Mode
The RZ1 system automatically enters standby mode under specific conditions designed to conserve energy while maintaining readiness. Standby mode begins when the configured Time to Standby timer has elapsed, which is set to 10 minutes by default, but is configurable and the vehicle is powered off, stationary, and shows no GPS movement.
When in standby mode, if the battery voltage drops below 11V for 30 seconds, the device will remain in standby.
Exiting Standby Mode
The RZ1 system exits standby mode and resumes full operation when specific triggers are detected. These include a button press, a wake-up message from the cloud, movement detected by the accelerometer, a spike in car battery voltage rises above 11.5V, or activation of the hardwired ignition cable. These mechanisms ensure the system is ready to operate immediately when necessary, providing seamless functionality and responsiveness.
Indicators
The Power LED on the hub stays green, indicating that the device remains powered on. Other LEDs, such as the GNSS and CELL indicators, turn off to signify the system is in a low-power state.
Configurable Settings
The user can configure the Time to Standby before the device enters standby mode to suit specific operational needs. For more details, refer to the article Understanding Vehicle Device Settings.
