8.2  Frequently Asked Questions 

The most commonly asked questions by The System users are, 
Q: Why doesn’t the Main Indicator Light on the Charging Bay light up? 
A: Make sure the power plug is connected to the mains and that the Mains Power Indicator 

LED is lit. 
Q: Why is there no connection to the Web Portal? 
A: Make sure the antennas of the Technical Cabinet are not damaged and are mounted 

correctly. 
Q: Why is there no communication between the Node and the Main Unit? 
A: Make sure antennas are properly installed on both the Node and the Main Unit. Make sure 

they are within radio range and not too close together (less than 1 m). 
Q: Why does not the Node / Main Unit start even though they are charging?  
A: Make sure the battery level of the Node and Main Unit  are charged enough. A  deeply 

discharged battery needs at least 20 minutes or up to an hour of reduced charging current 

(trickle charge) before it can start up. This is indicated by a faint red glow on the indicator LED 

lamps. 
Q: Why doesn’t the Node / Main Unit respond? 
A: Make sure the battery is charged and that both are within the radio range. 
Q: Why does the Node measure negative temperatures? 
A: Make sure the thermocouple is installed with right polarity.
