Barra GPS and Edge asset tracker installation for activation mode and tamper detection .
While in activation mode:
- While the magnet is present, the device remains in a super-low power ‘dormant’ state - and is effectively shut off.
- The device will not attempt to obtain a location fix, or upload.
- When the user wants to install the device, they can simply remove the magnet and it will begin operation.
- If the magnet is reinserted, the unit will log that it has been deactivated and then go dormant.

While in Tamper detection mode:
- When installing the device, the magnet can be glued or otherwise attached to the asset first.
- The Barra device is then installed over the magnet (the magnet fits inside the housing recess as shown below).
- If the Barra is removed from the asset - the Barra will immediately detect that the magnet is no longer present and send an alert regarding tamper.
