SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR REDUCED ENERGY RECORDING MODE FOR POWERED TRACKER

Abstract

A condition monitoring unit comprising a communication module, at least one temperature sensor, one battery sensor, at least one processor, and at least one memory device, wherein the at least one processor is programmed to: a) operate in two modes including a regular mode and a recording mode, wherein, during regular mode, the at least one processor is programmed to: i) receive temperature readings; ii) transmit the temperature readings to a remote computing device; iii) receive battery readings; and iv) determine whether to enter recording mode based on the battery readings and the temperature readings, wherein during recording mode, the at least one processor is programmed to: i) deactivate the communication module; ii) receive and store temperature readings; iii) receive battery readings;and iv) determine whether to enter regular mode, or not, based on battery readings and temperature readings.;
