FMM650 - Deep sleep current consumption ~20mA@12 V

Hello,

Installing FMM650 in low-usage car (bench-tested OK).

Switzerland: 2G shutdown, Sunrise IoT SIM → 4G/LTE Cat M1 only.

Sleep mode set to Deep Sleep.

Observed when stopped:

  • Current: ~20mA average, spikes ~30mA

  • GSM LED: 6 short flashes with 2s pause in between and 7th 1 long flash (and this sequence repeats)

  • GPS LED: Completely off

  • No server connection

  • No USB connection

  • GPS Fix available

Firmware: 03.01.00.Rev.14 (already tried multiple config reset).

Datasheet says Deep Sleep <4mA (GSM off), but with GPS off and ~20mA draw, it seems stuck in Online Deep Sleep.

Known issue on Cat M1-only networks (no 2G fallback)? Any way to get lower consumption?

Thanks for any help!
