This feature enables employees to use company vehicles for personal purposes while maintaining compliance with EU General Data Protection Regulation requirements. When Private mode is active, the device masks location data and other sensitive information to prevent unauthorized tracking. Business mode restores full data visibility for standard fleet operations.


The Immobilizer feature provides an additional layer of vehicle security by requiring driver authorization after the ignition is turned on. It is designed to block the vehicle's starter circuit, preventing the engine from being started until an authorized identification element is presented.
Private/Business Mode is used in fleet operations where employees may drive company vehicles for both work and personal needs. It helps ensure privacy during personal use by disabling location reporting, while still providing full tracking and operational data during business use.


This functionality is essential for preventing vehicle theft and ensuring that only permitted individuals can operate a vehicle. By linking vehicle operation to a physical token, it significantly enhances security for fleet management, rental services, and any application where control over vehicle access is a priority.
In the TCT Features section, the Private / Business Mode allows the user to configure when the private mode should activate and deactivate by selecting one of the available feature triggers: a weekly scheduler or an external trigger type.
Additionally, the user can define how the system should handle GNSS and odometer data while private mode is active.
The feature also supports automatic deactivation of private mode when specific events are detected, such as Unplug, Towing, and other configured triggers.


The feature operates based on the vehicle's ignition status. When the ignition is turned on, the system enters a "Waiting authorization" state, activating a digital output to keep the starter blocked. Upon successful presentation of an authorized element, the system transitions to an "Authorized" state, deactivates the output, and allows the engine to run. The authorization is automatically revoked after the ignition has been off for a configurable period.


=== <u>Prerequisites and Important Settings </u> ===
=== Prerequisites and Important Settings ===  
* The vehicle's ignition status must be monitored by one of the device's digital inputs (DIN).
* '''IMPORTANT:''' After exiting any sleep mode, DOUT and Private/Business state will automatically return to the values they had before entering the sleep mode.
* A relay must be correctly installed to interrupt the vehicle's starter circuit and connected to one of the device's configurable digital outputs (DOUT).
* An iButton reader is required to detect the authorization element.
* The unique IDs of all authorized iButtons must be pre-configured in the device's authorization list.


=== <u> Basic Operation </u> ===
=== Basic Operation ===  
The feature's logic is managed through three distinct states:<br>
* In the Private/Business window, the user can set the priority level used for sending messages ('''HIGH''' or '''LOW''' priority).
1. '''Not Authorized State:'''
* The DOUT control function allows indicating the state of Private Mode.When Private Mode is detected as '''ON''', the configured DOUT output will also be switched '''ON'''.
* This is the default, idle state when the vehicle's ignition is OFF. The immobilizer is armed and waiting.
 
2. '''Waiting Authorization State:'''
==== DOUT State in Sleep mode ====
* When the ignition is turned ON, the system transitions to this state.
In different sleep modes DOUT behavior as well as Private/Business state are as follows:
* If a Digital Output is configured, it is immediately activated to control the relay and block the starter circuit.
 
* The device actively waits for an authorization element to be presented.
{| class="wikitable"
3. '''Authorized State:'''
! Mode
* Once an ID is detected and confirmed to be authorized, the system transitions to the Authorized state.
! DOUT State
* The configured Digital Output is deactivated, which unblocks the starter circuit and allows the vehicle to be started and driven.
! Private/Business State
* The driver remains authorized as long as the ignition stays ON.
|-
4. '''De-authorization Process:'''
| Online Sleep
* When the ignition is turned OFF, a de-authorization timer begins.
| Last state before entering sleep
* If the ignition remains off for the entire duration of the configured "Authorization persist duration", the system revokes the authorization and returns to the Not Authorized state. If the ignition is turned back on before the timeout expires, the authorization remains active.
| Last state before entering sleep
|-
| Deep Sleep
| Last state before entering sleep
| Last state before entering Deep Sleep
|-
| Power Off Sleep
| DOUT is OFF
| Last state before entering Power Off Sleep
|}
 
After exiting any sleep mode, DOUT and Private/Business state return to the state they were in before entering the sleep mode.
 
GNSS Data Masking defines how the device will handle location information (GNSS data) while in Private Mode:
 
* '''No masking''' – GNSS information is not hidden.
* '''GNSS data is sent as zero''' – In every record sent to the server, the GNSS fields (latitude, longitude, altitude, angle, and number of satellites) are set to “'''0'''.Additionally, GSM Cell ID and GSM Area Code information will '''not be sent'''.
* '''GNSS data is sent as last known good position''' –The last valid GNSS data (latitude, longitude, altitude) recorded before entering Private Mode is sent in every record.
The following I/O elements are sent as “'''0'''”:
* GSM Cell ID (AVL ID 205)
* GSM Area Code (AVL ID 206)
* '''Private Mode Odometer Stop''' - when enabled, the device does '''not accumulate odometer data''' while Private Mode is active.
* '''Private Business Deactivation''' – enables the system to automatically deactivate Private Mode based on selected scenarios.
Available scenarios include: '''Towing, Unplug, Crash,''' and '''Autogeofence'''.
The user can select one, several, or all scenarios from the dropdown menu.
 
'''NOTE:''' <br>
If  Trigger type is set to '''External''', the user must press the button or switch again to re enable Private Mode.
If Trigger type is set to '''Weekly Schedule''', the user must wait until the next scheduled activation time for Private Mode to be enabled again.
 
==== Feature Triggers ====
This section allows the user to configure the trigger logic that switches the feature between '''Private Mode''' and '''Business Mode'''.
 
<big>'''Trigger Types'''</big><br>
'''1. External''' <br>
External triggers can be configured using Digital Inputs (DINs).
When External is selected, the user can choose a specific DIN for the trigger logic.
DIN Mode Options:<br>
 
* Button Mode
The selected DIN operates as a button.<br>
Private Mode is activated or deactivated when the DIN status changes (triggered on the status transition).<br>
 
* Switch Mode
The selected DIN operates as a switch.<br>
Private Mode is controlled based on the current DIN value:
* DIN = HIGH → Private Mode enabled
* DIN = LOW → Private Mode disabled
 
<big>'''2. Weekly Schedule'''</big> <br>
A weekly schedule can be configured to automatically enable Private Mode at specific times based on the user defined schedule.
 
==== Weekly schedule ====
[[File:Private Business mode Weekly schedule.png|right|500px]]
* Enables automatic switching between '''Private Mode''' and '''Business Mode''' based on configured '''time, date, daylight saving rules,''' and '''time zones'''.

Private /Bussines mode

This feature enables employees to use company vehicles for personal purposes while maintaining compliance with EU General Data Protection Regulation requirements. When Private mode is active, the device masks location data and other sensitive information to prevent unauthorized tracking. Business mode restores full data visibility for standard fleet operations.

Private/Business Mode is used in fleet operations where employees may drive company vehicles for both work and personal needs. It helps ensure privacy during personal use by disabling location reporting, while still providing full tracking and operational data during business use.

In the TCT Features section, the Private / Business Mode allows the user to configure when the private mode should activate and deactivate by selecting one of the available feature triggers: a weekly scheduler or an external trigger type. Additionally, the user can define how the system should handle GNSS and odometer data while private mode is active. The feature also supports automatic deactivation of private mode when specific events are detected, such as Unplug, Towing, and other configured triggers.


Prerequisites and Important Settings

  • IMPORTANT: After exiting any sleep mode, DOUT and Private/Business state will automatically return to the values they had before entering the sleep mode.

Basic Operation

  • In the Private/Business window, the user can set the priority level used for sending messages (HIGH or LOW priority).
  • The DOUT control function allows indicating the state of Private Mode.When Private Mode is detected as ON, the configured DOUT output will also be switched ON.

DOUT State in Sleep mode

In different sleep modes DOUT behavior as well as Private/Business state are as follows:

Mode DOUT State Private/Business State
Online Sleep Last state before entering sleep Last state before entering sleep
Deep Sleep Last state before entering sleep Last state before entering Deep Sleep
Power Off Sleep DOUT is OFF Last state before entering Power Off Sleep

After exiting any sleep mode, DOUT and Private/Business state return to the state they were in before entering the sleep mode.

GNSS Data Masking defines how the device will handle location information (GNSS data) while in Private Mode:

  • No masking – GNSS information is not hidden.
  • GNSS data is sent as zero – In every record sent to the server, the GNSS fields (latitude, longitude, altitude, angle, and number of satellites) are set to “0”.Additionally, GSM Cell ID and GSM Area Code information will not be sent.
  • GNSS data is sent as last known good position –The last valid GNSS data (latitude, longitude, altitude) recorded before entering Private Mode is sent in every record.

The following I/O elements are sent as “0”:

  • GSM Cell ID (AVL ID 205)
  • GSM Area Code (AVL ID 206)
  • Private Mode Odometer Stop - when enabled, the device does not accumulate odometer data while Private Mode is active.
  • Private Business Deactivation – enables the system to automatically deactivate Private Mode based on selected scenarios.

Available scenarios include: Towing, Unplug, Crash, and Autogeofence. The user can select one, several, or all scenarios from the dropdown menu.

NOTE:
If Trigger type is set to External, the user must press the button or switch again to re enable Private Mode. If Trigger type is set to Weekly Schedule, the user must wait until the next scheduled activation time for Private Mode to be enabled again.

Feature Triggers

This section allows the user to configure the trigger logic that switches the feature between Private Mode and Business Mode.

Trigger Types
1. External
External triggers can be configured using Digital Inputs (DINs). When External is selected, the user can choose a specific DIN for the trigger logic. DIN Mode Options:

  • Button Mode

The selected DIN operates as a button.
Private Mode is activated or deactivated when the DIN status changes (triggered on the status transition).

  • Switch Mode

The selected DIN operates as a switch.
Private Mode is controlled based on the current DIN value:

  • DIN = HIGH → Private Mode enabled
  • DIN = LOW → Private Mode disabled

2. Weekly Schedule
A weekly schedule can be configured to automatically enable Private Mode at specific times based on the user defined schedule.

Weekly schedule

  • Enables automatic switching between Private Mode and Business Mode based on configured time, date, daylight saving rules, and time zones.
