1. SmartOne Basics
Overview
The SmartOne is designed to track the positions of trailers, cargo
containers, heavy construction equipment, generators, boats/barges
and any other mobile assets. The SmartOne also has 2 inputs to
manage run time of engines and/or other alarm inputs.
The SmartOne processes GPS satellite signals to obtain its position
in terms of longitude and latitude and transmits this information over
Globalstar’s Satellite Network. In addition to position information, the
SmartOne transmits other message types that include battery status,
input alarm status and diagnostic information. The SmartOne is
configured using a computer and USB configuration cable to
communicate these messages at certain times and/or under certain
conditions.

Modes of Operation
The SmartOne can be configured to operate in three different Modes:
 Standard Messaging Mode
 Reduced Messaging Mode
 Theft Recovery Mode.

Standard Messaging
In Standard Messaging Mode, the SmartOne reports its position at regular time intervals that are
programmed during the configuration process. Standard Messaging Mode can also be configured to
utilize the SmartOne’s internal motion sensor. If enabled, the SmartOne will transmit its position at
independently configured regular time intervals when the device is In Motion.
Location messages can be programmed to be constant (Message Interval) or the device may be
configured to use up to 12 different delays in sequence (Message-Time(s) of Day). Message Interval can
be programmed in 1 minute intervals from 35 minutes up to 45 days.
 Example of Message Interval: The SmartOne is configured to report once every 24 hours when
not In Motion and every 2 hours when In Motion. If the SmartOne went into motion at any time of
day the Message Interval while In Motion would be every 2 hours beginning when the SmartOne
started moving.
 Example of Message-Time(s) of Day: The SmartOne is configured with a message time of day
of 9:00am, a second message time of day of 12:00 noon, a third message time of day of 8:00pm
and once per hour when In Motion. The SmartOne would transmit 3 messages a day at the same
configured times every day. If the SmartOne went In Motion it would transmit its location message
every hour.
 Usage Example: A Company is required to report the GPS locations of their hazardous chemical
containers twice a day. Based on this requirement the Company has 2 options: set a message
interval of every 12 hours, the 12 hour internal begins when the device is powered up or when the
configure message times of day are 12:00 noon and 12:00 midnight.

SmartOne C User Guide Page 1

9100-0410-01 Rev A

Reduced Messaging
Reduced Messaging Mode lowers the cost associated with transmitting messages over Globalstar’s
satellite network by sending messages at a minimal message interval when the asset is in a defined area
and transmits at a higher message interval when the asset is changing locations. These message
intervals are set as part of the configuration process based on the concept that repeated reporting
information of the same location, when an asset has not moved from its defined area, is redundant and
doesn’t provide addition usable information about its current location.
By comparing current and prior position information, the SmartOne determines if its location is changing.
The definable area in which the device should remain in Reduced Messaging Mode is called the Change
of Location Area and it is a square. When the SmartOne goes outside of the square, its location is
considered to be changing or relocating.
Usage Example: A fleet operator owns 1,000 trailers. When the trailer(s) are sitting at a depot they
want a location message once a day. They also want a message notification within 1 hour when a
trailer has left a depot. Lastly, they want a location message every 3 hours when a trailer is moving
between depots. Based on this requirement, the fleet operator will need to set the Change of Location
Area (size of the depots where the trailers will visit), the message interval while the trailers are inside
the Change of Location Area (1 per day), the interval at which the SmartOne will check its location
while in a State of Vibration and inside the Change of Location Area(1 per hour), set the number of
messages when the trailer leaves the Change of Location Area (1 Change of Location Area Alert
Message) and the message interval while the trailers are in transit between depots (every 3 hours).

Theft Recovery
When the SmartOne is configured to operate in the Theft Recovery Mode, it differentiates between
authorized and unauthorized movement of an asset. While the power to the SmartOne is turned off, all
movement of the asset is considered authorized. When power is turned on, the SmartOne obtains a
position from GPS satellites. The position is used to set the center of the defined Change of Location
Area in Theft Recovery Mode. While in the Change of Location Area, the SmartOne obtains position fixes
at an interval set during configuration. As long as the SmartOne remains within the Change of Location
Area all movement is considered to be authorized.
Once the SmartOne’s position is outside of the Change of Location Area, it alerts the SmartOne to an
unauthorized movement and immediately sends a location message (Change of Location Alert Message).
The SmartOne continues to send location messages at a message interval set during the configuration
process until the power is turned off or the battery is dead.
Usage Example: A construction company is working on a job site for 1 year and wants to ensure
that their generators and other heavy equipment on site aren’t stolen. The company wants to check
the location of their equipment 12 times a day, every 2 hours, to confirm the asset hasn’t been stolen,
but only wants a transmitted location message once per day. Based on this requirement, the
construction company will need to set the Change of Location Area (size of the job site), the message
interval while inside the Change of Location Area (1 per day), the interval at which the SmartOne will
check its location while in a State of Vibration and within the Change of Location Area (every 2 hours)
and the message interval if the asset is outside the Change of Location Area (stolen).

SmartOne C User Guide Page 2

9100-0410-01 Rev A

Inputs
The SmartOne has an I/O port that provides ground, two dry contact inputs, power and soft-power down
inputs.
The SmartOne allows sending Input Status Changed Messages for both Input 1 and Input 2. The Inputs
must be asserted for at least 5 seconds in order to be acknowledged.
Usage Example: A construction company needs to document, per their contract, when they begin
their work day and when they end their work day. Based on this requirement, the SmartOne would be
connected to the ignition switch and configured to send a transmission with location when the input
changes state.
The SmartOne also allows the user to define the Message Interval while the Inputs are in an Undesired
State, either Opened or Closed.
Usage Example: A company has remote containers at job sites and would like to know if a door is
ajar. If a door is left ajar the company would like a notification every 2 hours. Based on this
requirement, the SmartOne would be connected to an open door sensor with the Undesired Input
State Message enabled and set as Opened with a Message Interval of 2 hours.

Note: The SmartOne uses a 5 minute "hysteresis" window to prevent sending false alarms. This
means that only one status change message can be sent during any 5 minute time
window. Any subsequent status changes will be detected but not reported. Multiple status
changes during any 5 minute window will result in the transmission of incorrect trigger
bits. Refer to page 33 for Input Status Changed Message.
The SmartOne has the ability to send an Accumulate/Count Message at a regular configurable interval
and/or based on configurable multiples of accumulated hours and/or number of counted events or hours
of vibration.
Usage Example 1: A construction company needs weekly engine run times for their heavy
equipment to manage their maintenance scheduling. Based on this requirement, the company would
schedule a weekly Accumulate/Count Message.
Usage Example 2: A construction company wants to insure that no equipment is ever operated
beyond 400 hours without maintenance. Based on this requirement, the company would schedule an
Accumulate/Count Message for every 400 hours of use.
The SmartOne has the ability to send both Status Change and Undesired State messages based on
vibration.

Serial Commands
The SmartOne uses the I/O port for unit configuration as well as interface to remote passive and smart
sensors. Two commands are provided in the unit interface to support smart sensors. External sensors or
instruments, that can format and communicate with the SmartOne, can send user data through the
SmartOne by using these two commands.
The SmartOne connects to smart sensors via the SmartOne External Input Cable (see Appendix K –
External Input Cable)

SmartOne C User Guide Page 3

9100-0410-01 Rev A

Satellite Communications
The SmartOne communicates with both the GPS satellite network and the Globalstar Satellite Network.
All GPS locations are pulled from the GPS network and all transmissions are sent via the Globalstar
Satellite Network.

The SmartOne has the unique ability to check its GPS coordinates at a programmable rate while it is
inside of the Change of Location Area without actually sending a message over the Globalstar Satellite
Network.
For a Location Message, the SmartOne will wake up at a scheduled interval or time of day and begin to
acquire a GPS fix. Once it receives its GPS fix, the SmartOne will transmit its location to the Globalstar
Satellite Network.

SmartOne C User Guide Page 4

9100-0410-01 Rev A

Globalstar Satellite Network

The network consists of 32 Low Earth Orbiting (LEO)
satellites that are constantly orbiting the earth and
complete their orbits in less than 2 hours. Because of
this, the SmartOne will be in contact with at least one
of the satellites during each scheduled transmission.
In LEO communication networks, the satellites are
constantly changing their positions in the sky relative
to the transmitter on earth. This minimized the
shading effects seen in geostationary satellite
systems where the mobile device must be pointed
toward a specific direction in the sky. Geostationary
satellites also orbit at a much higher altitude and
move along the equator.
Messages are transmitted from the SmartOne via the Globalstar Satellite Network using an uplink-only
connection (one-way data transmission) and received by a Globalstar Ground Station. The messages are
then sent via an HTTP or FTP server to the internet and received by the VAR or end customer’s back
office application and converted into actionable data.
The SmartOne will send each message 3 times to insure that the message has been received by the
Globalstar Satellite Constellation. Once Globalstar receives the message, any remaining duplicate
messages are ignored and discarded (VAR or end user account is only charged for 1 transmission).

Getting Started Tab
The Getting Started Tab allows the user to select the Mode of operation for the SmartOne. The Modes
includes:
 Standard Messaging with or without motion
 Reduced Messaging
 Theft Recovery Mode.

Standard Messaging
Standard Messaging Mode - Without Motion
The Standard Messaging without Motion Mode is selected for basic tracking functionality on the
SmartOne. The SmartOne will automatically report its position at regular time intervals. The messages
sent in this Mode are called Location Messages. These messages include the GPS coordinates of the
actual location of the SmartOne.
In this Mode, the motion sensor is OFF.

Standard Messaging Mode - With Motion

The Standard Messaging with Motion Mode is selected for basic tracking functionality with motion
detection capabilities. The user defines the motion parameters for each application including the Level of
Sensitivity of the motion sensor, Time to be in a State of Vibration and Time to be in a State of Lacking
Vibration. The SmartOne can be set to report at a different rate, Message Interval while In Motion,
compared to the Location Message Interval.

SmartOne C User Guide Page 15

9100-0410-01 Rev A

Reduced Messaging Mode

The Reduced Messaging Mode is ideal for asset management with reduced messaging capability of
the SmartOne. The SmartOne creates a Change of Location Area of configurable size around the
device. If the SmartOne stays within its Change of Location Area, the number of transmissions will be
reduced.
When the SmartOne leaves the Change of Location Area and returned to a State of Lacking Vibration
a new Change of Location Area is created around the SmartOne.

Theft Recovery Mode

The Theft Recovery Mode is ideal for assets that are high-risk for theft. In this Mode, the SmartOne
creates a Change of Location Area around its location when powered. The size of the Change of Location
Area is a configurable parameter equal to the distance the device must move to be considered outside
the Change of Location Area. If outside the Change of Location Area, the SmartOne goes into recovery
Mode, transmitting frequent messages until the asset is recovered. The message interval in recovery
Mode is a configurable parameter; however, the default value is 10 minutes.

5. Messages
The SmartOne produces on-air messages conforming to the Globalstar specified format.
The data being communicated to the end user is contained entirely in the 72 bit (9 byte) field.
This section will describe the use of the 9 byte user information segment for communicating the range of
information that the SmartOne is able to convey to the user.
Note: User information is sometimes referred to as the message payload.

Global Message Type

Bits 0 and 1 in the first byte of the user data define the Global Message Type; there are four total global
types. Types 0 and 3 are applicable to the function and features of the SmartOne, type 1 and 2 are user
defined message types.
 Type 0 - Standard Message: All of the various message types that contain Latitude and
Longitude data that are transmitted by the SmartOne will be of this type.
 Type 1 - Truncated Message: This message type provides for up to 2 bytes plus 6 bits of user
data to be appended to the status byte and GPS location information.
 Type 2 - Raw Message: This message type provides for up to 8 bytes plus 6 bits of user data.
 Type 3 - Non Standard Message: This is the message type that covers the category “none of the
above”. The SmartOne will use this message type for messages that do not contain Latitude and
Longitude data. Smart One message types which fall into this category include Accumulate/Count
messages, Diagnostic messages, Contact Service Provider messages and Low Battery
messages.

Type 0 Message Class

Message Format
The below table displays the format of all standard messages. Specific variants of the message will be
shown individually in following subsections.

Truncated Message Type – Multiple Packet Version

The Globalstar simplex messaging protocol provides for single and multiple packet messaging. In the
event that the user application requests a user data length exceeding 9 bytes, the SmartOne (running
firmware version 2.1 or later) will automatically “packetize” the message, that is, transmit it as multiple 9
byte packets. The ground station appliqué will reverse the process, “de-packetizing” the message back
into a single (“long”) message. From the user application point of view, this eliminates the 9 byte
limitation allowing the user to compose longer messages transparently. They are presented to the user by
the Globalstar back office as complete messages of a length longer than 9 bytes. The SmartOne supports
user-defined messages (Class 1 and 2) of up to 54 bytes.
This message type provides for up to 47 bytes plus 6 bits of user data to be appended to the status byte
and GPS location information. The input and status bits data of the standard message are replaced with
user data from the configuration port. Note: Total message length will be a minimum of 9 bytes in length,
and a maximum of 54 bytes in length, and the length sent to the user will always be divisible by 9. The
Truncated message will follow the following on-air format:

Message type 2 shall be a Raw Payload message. This message type provides for up to 8 bytes plus 6
bits of user data. This mode is provided to enable the user to directly send a single data burst through
the network. The only bits not accessible to the user are the message type bits needed by the receiving
data processor to delineate message type associated to the TXID. User data less than the full payload
will be zero padded as necessary. The Raw Payload message will follow the following on-air format:

below the replace battery advisement level. The message will be repeated at an interval configurable by
the user for as long as the battery remains below the advisement level. The default configuration is for the
Replace Battery message to be enabled and to be transmitted once per day when the battery is low.

Contact Service Provider Message

The SmartOne will send a Contact Service Provider message when an internal fault is detected. The
SmartOne will send one such message upon the detection of an internal fault. It will then attempt to
continue to operate normally. The SmartOne will not send another Contact Service Provider message
unless the fault is determined to have cleared, and then determined to have come back again.

Accumulate/Count Message
The Accumulate/Count message is used to report the accumulation of time that an input is in a specified
state as defined by the user, the accumulation of time that the device is in a State of Vibration, and/or the
total transitions of the inputs as configured by the user. The message is transmitted either at a pre-set
interval, at a point where any of the accumulation or count registers reach multiples as programmed by
the user, just before rollover of any count/accumulate register, or all of the above.

Messaging Priority
Prioritization of Periodic Standard Message Report Rates
The SmartOne supports several rates at which it will send a periodic standard message. Periodic,
scheduled standard message rates are mutually exclusive. This is the priority of the different rates at
which the SmartOne will send a standard message. Highest is listed first:
 Rate specified by Undesired Input State.
 Rate specified for when the SmartOne is inside its Change of Location Area.
 Rate specified for when device is In Motion. (Note, when inside the Change of Location Area, this
rate affects sampling, but not reporting, as indicated by a higher priority for inside Change of
Location Area.)

 Rate specified for when the device is At Rest.

Message Priorities
It is possible that message types may collide. Whenever feasible, the SmartOne will examine its known
schedule and reschedule lower priority messages to occur after higher priority ones. If there is not enough
time in the known schedule for all scheduled messages to be transmitted in a reasonable time, or there is
insufficient memory to queue them, the lowest priority message(s) could be dropped. In any case,
unscheduled messages (for example, Input Status Changed) shall cancel pending messages of lower
priority and not cancel pending messages of higher priority. The following list shows the priority of
message types, with the highest priority being listed first.
 Contact Service Provider
 User Defined Raw message. *

 User Defined Truncated message. *

 Change of Location Area

 Replace Battery

 Undesired Input State

 Re-Center
 Diagnostics

 Accumulate/Count
 Input Status Changed
 Device Turned On
 Normal Location (In-Motion or At-Rest).
Note: The two user defined message types actually have equal priority. Either one will cancel the
other one. If, for example, the user interface commands the device to send a Truncated
message, and then, before it has time to obtain a fix and send the message, the user
commands a Raw message, the raw will be sent.

6. Serial Commands
The SmartOne uses the I/O port for unit configuration as well as interface to remote passive and smart
sensors. Two commands are provided in the unit interface to support smart sensors. External sensors
that can format and communicate to the SmartOne can send user data through the SmartOne by using
these two commands.
This section describes the serial interface between the SmartOne and a computer or other programming
device. SmartOne will respond to any command that contains fields with invalid values with a NAK
response (command field set to 0xFF).

Serial Packet Format (commands and answers)

Communication to the SmartOne will follow the following specific format:

Preamble Length Cmd Data CRC

1 byte 1 byte 1 byte Variable length 0 – 54 bytes 2 bytes

Total length range permitted: 5 bytes (Data field length 0) to 59 bytes (Data field length 54).

Serial Packet Fields

The different fields are defined as:

Preamble Fixed Pattern 0xAA

Length Total number of bytes in the serial packet including the preamble

Command type (See table below). Responses to commands carry the

Cmd
same command type as the command that initiated the answer

Data Data associated with the command or answer

CRC Low Least significant byte of the 16-bit CRC

CRC High Most significant byte of the 16-bit CRC

SmartOne C User Guide Page 41

9100-0410-01 Rev A

CRC Algorithm
The Security Field is a 16-bit CRC of all of the previous fields including the preamble, length, and
command bytes. The remainder is initialized to all 1's (0xFFFF) and the CRC is inverted before being
sent. Following is a sample C routine that implements the algorithm using the reversed technique:

WORD crc16_lsb(BYTE *pData, WORD length)

{
BYTE i;
WORD data, crc;
crc = 0xFFFF;
if (length == 0)
return 0;
do
{
data = (WORD)0x00FF & *pData++;
crc = crc ^ data;
for (i = 8; i > 0; i--)
{
if (crc & 0x0001)
crc = (crc >> 1) ^ 0x8408;
else
crc >>= 1;
}
}
while (--length);
crc = ~crc;
return (crc);
}

As an example, for a type (0x01) “Get ID” message made up of the following bytes: AA 05 01
The following 2 byte CRC would be calculated: D5 50
The complete message sent by the host to the SmartOne is: AA 05 01 50 D5

Send Truncated Message (serial message type 0x26)

The SmartOne will perform a GPS location and append user data passed to the unit via the Truncated
Message command 0x26.
Two bytes plus 6 bits of user data may be sent with the standard GPS location information in a
messaging burst. Two bits are set in the on-air message by the SmartOne informing the recipient that the
message is the Truncated type.
The following table defines the message structure of the “data” portion of the command used to send a
Truncated message.
Communication to the SmartOne will follow the following specific format:

Default
Byte Bit Parameter Description
Value
User data bits. Bits 1:0 are reserved and will be
0 7.2 Submask Bits 0x00
masked by SmartOne
Supports a maximum of 47 total bytes in this
field. User application (smart sensor) should
Variable User Data transmit only as many bytes as needed (don’t
pad the message) in order to keep on air packets
to a minimum

Example 1 - Sending a “Truncated” User Message

The host sends:
AA 08 26 10 22 33 <CRC-low> <CRC-High>
The SmartOne would respond:
AA 05 26 <CRC-Low> <CRC-High>
What would go out over the air is:
11 Lat-3 Lat-2 Lat-1 Lon-3 Lon-2 Lon-1 22 33
Example 2 - Using a Longer Message
The host sends:
AA 0D 26 10 22 33 44 55 66 77 88 <CRC-low> <CRC-High>
Note: The length field: 0D – 0D is the number 13 in hexadecimal, the length of the total serial
command.
The SmartOne would respond:
AA 05 26 <CRC-Low> <CRC-High>
What would go out over the air is:
11 Lat-3 Lat-2 Lat-1 Lon-3 Lon-2 Lon-1 22 33 44 55 66 77 88 00 00 00 00
Note: All on air messages are padded to a multiple of 9 bytes. This is the reason for the trailing
zeros in this example.

SmartOne C User Guide Page 43

9100-0410-01 Rev A

Note: The least two significant bits of the first byte are always “01” for a trunc message, the
remaining 6 bits make up the top 6 bits of the first byte sent in the serial command, in this
example 000100xx (with the “xx” representing the two bits that the SmartOne forces to
“01”.
The 22 and the 33 that the user sent are appended after the 6 bytes of latitude and longitude.

Send Raw Message (serial message type 0x27)

The SmartOne will send raw user data using the Raw Payload command 0x27.
8 bytes plus 6 bits of user data may be sent. Two bits are set in the on-air message by the SmartOne
informing the recipient that the message is Raw.
The following table defines the message structure used to send a Raw message.

Default
Byte Bit Parameter Description
Value
User data bits. Bits 1:0 are reserved and will be
0 7.2 Submask Bits 0x00
masked by SmartOne
Any user data
Supports a maximum of 53 total bytes in this
field. User application (smart sensor) should
Variable User Data
transmit only as many bytes as needed (don’t
pad the message) in order to keep on air packets
to a minimum

Example 1 - Sending a Raw User Message:

She Host sends:
AA 0E 27 10 22 33 44 55 66 77 88 99 <CRC-low> <CRC-high>
The SmartOne Responds:
AA 05 27 <CRC-low> <CRC-high>
What actually goes out over the air is:
12 22 33 44 55 66 77 88 99
Example 2 - Using a Longer Message:
The Host sends:
AA 21 27 10 22 33 44 55 66 77 88 99 AA BB CC DD EE FF 11 22 33 44 55 66 77 88 99 AA 44
56 78 <CRC-low> <CRC-high>
Note: The length field, the command contains a total of 33 bytes. The length is 21 Hexadecimal,
which is equal to 33 decimal.
The SmartOne Responds:
AA 05 27 <CRC-low> <CRC-high>

SmartOne C User Guide Page 44

9100-0410-01 Rev A

What actually goes out over the air is:

12 22 33 44 55 66 77 88 99 AA BB CC DD EE FF 11 22 33 44 55 66 77 88 99 AA 44 56 78 00
00 00 00 00 00 00 00
Note: All on air messages are padded to a multiple of 9 bytes. This is the reason for the trailing
zeros in this example.
Note: The least two significant bits of the first byte are always “10” for a raw message (a HEX or
decimal value of “2”, the remaining 6 bits make up the top 6 bits of the first byte sent in
the serial command, in this example 000100xx (with the “xx” representing the two bits that
the SmartOne forces to “10”.

A simple ACK or NAK from the SmartOne Device to the host (smart sensor):
ACKs.
AA 05 26 <crc crc> (for the Truncated message)
AA 05 27 <crc crc> (for the Raw message)
NAK:
AA 05 FF <crc crc> (NAK).

Note: As the SmartOne operates, some debugging traces come out of the serial port. Those
traces should simply be ignored. Once the handshake line is pulled low, the unit is in
“command mode” and debugging traces will stop.
Note: User commands will ALWAYS be responded to immediately with either an
acknowledgement or a NAK (as shown in the examples above). Once an
acknowledgement (or NAK) is received, the host should simply ignore the serial port until
the next time it sends a command.
Note: The most common reasons for a NAK are incorrect CRC, incorrect length field, or
incorrect command field (i.e. not 0x26 or 0x27 for trunc and raw respectively).

The Handshake Line

The handshake line should be pulled low before sending each serial message. The recommended use of
the handshake line is:
1) Pull handshake low.
2) Wait 2 – 3 milliseconds.
3) Send command
4) Receive response.
5) Raise handshake high.

7. Connecting Serial Devices to the SmartOne

The SmartOne accepts a serial connection at 3 volt levels (Max), at 9600 baud. The relevant pins are TX,
RX, Handshake and ground. The SmartOne can connect with devices that contain an asynchronous
UART at 3 volt levels. (High State: 2.7-3 Volts, Low State: 0 Volts. Please contact Globalstar Support for
more information.
Caution: NEVER attempt to connect the SmartOne directly to the pins on a computer's RS232
port. The voltages in RS232 are too high and can damage the SmartOne.
Any deviations from the above guidelines will violate all RMA requirements and prevent any no-cost
replacement.
Note: See Appendix K for information on the External Input Cable for the SmartOne.

comparison of a new GPS reading to a previous GPS reading indicates the tracker has changed location
by at least a specified minimum distance. The specified minimum time and the specified minimum
distance are both configuration parameters.
Inaccurate GPS reading – The longitude and latitude information obtained from processing the signals
from the GPS satellites when a tracker cannot observe an adequate number of satellites; the GPS signals
were jammed by electronic interference; the GPS signals were reflected from objects creating multi-path
conditions; or weather conditions distorted the GPS signals. An inaccurate GPS reading may have
longitude and latitude errors of a mile or more.

Number of message repeats – The number of times a message is send in a message transmission with
the same UMN. The number of message repeats is configurable during the tracker set up process.
Globalstar only counts repeated messages as one message if it is received three times or less. If the
same message is receive more than three times Globalstar may count the message as more than one
message for billing purposes

S
Self Test – An internal unit test that is performed by the processor. The test checks for proper operation
of functions that can be tested by the processor.
State of lacking Vibration – The motion sensor is indicating a cease of vibration when the number of
vibration pulses per minute is lower than the Level of Sensitivity for Vibration Sensor number for the time
required to determine if a State of Vibration has ceased.
