TROUBLESHOOTING — Each Node has three lights
that will flash in certain sequences. Check these light
functions to see what may be causing a problem:
SEEKING NETWORK —
RED, GREEN
—
Scrolling Rapidly = Unassociated Node
RED + YELLOW
—
Blinking = Active, scanning network
NORMAL OPERATING MODE —
If
GREEN LED is:
—
Flashing = Node awake
—
Intermittent Blinking / Pulsating =
Power save (system napping)
—
Off = Sleeping or no power
If
YELLOW LED is:
—
On = Node non-operational
—
Blinking = indicates Network activity
—
Off = No current Network activity
If
RED Light is:
—
Off = No errors
—
Blinking = error in sending message
through Network
—
On 1 second or more = low power
NOTE: A Logger can appear to be fully associated,
showing a green flashing light but not collecting data if
it has been synced to the computer clock before being
associated to the Base. If such is the case, reset it and
go through the association process again.
Contact IRROMETER Tech Support regarding the
display of any light sequences not mentioned here.
DATA DOESN’T UPLOAD FROM YOUR
COMPUTER — Some anti-virus software has been
known to block SensMitPath from transmitting data to
the Web. To rectify, add SensMitPath to the list of
approved programs on your anti-virus exceptions page
then click ‘OK’ or ‘Allow’ to permit access.
RESETTING PROCEDURES — On occasion, it may
become necessary to reset your system. Follow the
instructions below to reset any of the components you
are using. None of the data stored in the device will be
lost when resets occur.
To reset the entire system, turn off power to the
Base Node for 24 hours, then re-power the Base and
allow time for each Node to join the system. This may
be necessary if incorrect Node routing associations
were created when deploying Nodes.
Base Node – Cover the solar
panels of the Base Node and slide
the power switch inside the
capacitor housing to ‘OFF’.
PC Link – Temporarily disconnect
the USB cable from the computer.
Cell Gateway Battery Pack –
Open the blue box and
temporarily disconnect the
Gateway’s BLACK and RED
wires from the terminal strip.
Logger – Temporarily cover the solar
panels of the Logger and slide the power
switch inside the capacitor housing to
‘OFF’.
If the WATERMARK Handheld Digital Meter
(#30KTCD-NL) is being used to manually read a
sensor that is connected to a Node, the sensor wires
MUST be physically disconnected from the Node prior
to connecting the meter to take a manual reading.
