Field Hub startup 

When the terminal is started, the Field Hub is powered up 
automatically. The LED’s on the Field Hub (see Figure 23) 
are lighting/flashing. Table 1 (see next page) shows the 
meaning of the colours, solid or blinking per LED. The 
Slingshot Field Hub functions optimal when one of the light 
green and bold statuses is shown. A status which is only 
light green but not bold, should also work properly, 
however, the green and bold statuses show an optimum 
operation of the Field Hub.
