Sleep Mode

To conserve power, the entire generic electronic module (GEM) goes into a 'sleep' mode 16 minutes after signal activity ceases and the ignition is switched off. The typical current consumption of the generic electronic module (GEM) in sleep mode is 1.25 mA. In the sleep mode the generic electronic module (GEM) is in a limited operational mode from which it can be awakened by certain relevant wake-up signals. After being awakened, the generic electronic module (GEM) remains awake for 1 minute if no action is triggered. If an action is triggered, the generic electronic module (GEM) remains awake for at least 16 minutes.

The generic electronic module (GEM) wakes up when it receives a signal from any of the following:
