LED operations

Applicable receivers:  All receivers

The LEDs indicate various operating conditions. Generally, a lit or slowly flashing LED indicates normal operation. An LED that is flashing quickly indicates a condition that may require attention, and an unlit LED indicates that no operation is occurring. The following tables define each possible LED state.

Power LED

Receiver mode

Power LED

Off

Off

On. Healthy power

On

Monitor mode 1

On

Logging data internally

Briefly flashes off every three seconds

Satellite LED

Receiver mode

Satellite LED

No satellites tracked

Off

Boot up

On

Monitor mode 1

On

Searching for satellites

Flashes at 5 Hz

For dual-antenna configurations

Receiver mode

 

Tracking satellites on both position and vector antennas.

Flashes at 1 Hz, then a high-frequency burst every five seconds.

Tracking satellites only on the position antenna. The vector antenna is not tracking.

Flashes at 1 Hz (the high-frequency burst does not occur).

Tracking satellites only on the vector antenna. The position antenna is not tracking.

Off, then a high-frequency burst every five seconds.

Correction LED

Radio mode

Correction LED

No receive or transmit

Off.

Monitor mode 1

Flashes at 1 Hz (off and on equally).

Receive

Off, briefly blinking on when receiving corrections. This LED flashes when a correction is received.

When receiving moving base corrections at 5 Hz, 10 Hz, or 20 Hz, the LED may either flash rapidly (at 5 Hz) or remain lit solid.

Transmit

On, briefly blinking off when transmitting corrections. This LED flashes off when a correction is transmitted.

When corrections are received, often from MSS sources, the LED is a combination of the transmit and receive LED flashing.

IMU LED

Receiver mode

Power LED

No INS solution

Off

Coarse leveling

Flashes at 5 Hz

Degraded solution

Flashes at 2 Hz

Aligned solution

Flashes at 1 Hz

1 A condition where the receiver has booted into the monitor firmware, but not loaded the application firmware. It indicates firmware corruption or misconfiguration. When this occurs, a multiple LED pattern with the power and satellite LEDs is lit solid, and the correction LED flashes at 1 Hz. To resolve monitor mode issues, cycle the power. If the problem persists, reload the firmware. If this does not fix the issue, please contact GNSSOEMsupport@trimble.com.
