2-Knowlege Before Usage:

2.1- How it works?

The CAT-1X mainframe works as a host box with multi input/outputs. The mainframe will process to get GPS
location and various working status from inputs and wireless sensors, and then send those information to preset
Phone Numbers or IP/Port Server via GSM network. Cell Phone or Server software can send commands to control
outputs action and also acquire different information by available commands.

• Siren: ON

• Automatic Immobilizer in Armed status: Disabled

• Automatic Power supply switch from external to internal when external power low: Enabled

• External Power low voltage Alert Level: less than 11.5V DC

• Re-Arm: Disabled

• Power Saving Mode: Simple Sleep

• SMS Data Time Zone: GMT+0

• Crash accident Logger and alert : Off

2.3 Power Supply

2.3.1 External Power and Internal Power

CAT-1X works with two power supply mode: External Power and Internal Battery.
It's working normally with external power supply range from 9-36V DC. When the external power is disconnected
or with low voltage output, device will switch to work on internal battery automatically. And it also will send"
Circuit Cut Off" or "External power low voltage" Alert to preset Alerts Phone Numbers.

2.3.2 Sleep Mode consumptions and how it works

Simple Sleep when Ignition Off:

GSM Sleep with SMS/Call Active, NO GPRS Connection and GPS shut down
All Alarms Detection working normally
Power Consumption in standby without alarm trigger: 10mA

Deep Sleep when Ignition Off:
