5.2 TESTING THE LT1
Prior to proceeding to the field, the LT1 should be tested in order to confirm it arrived damage free
and fully functional. It also assists in trouble shooting should there be issues arising in the field
(ie: narrowing down possible issues to connectivity and the network rather than the LT1 itself).
To limit on-site time in remote areas, FTS recommends that you initially configure the LT1 and
sensors at a site with internet connectivity and a phone network (line) so that field technicians can
easily contact FTS Support should they require assistance.
5.2.1 TESTING THE LT1-CELL
If the LT1-CELL unit was purchased with an FTS data plan, it will be shipped with an activated SIM
card. If your company did not purchase an FTS data plan, the SIM card from your agency’s cellular
plan must be activated and used to test the LT1-CELL. Refer to section 1.4.3 for details of inserting
the SIM card and operation of the SIM card holder.
