System OK 

 
This is the state when power is first applied once all 
connections are made or when initially connecting to 
the station using the FTS360 Config App (unit 
operating normally, no faults). 

 

 

 

 

Low Power 

Mode 

Sending a command (such as the connect, add 
sensor, or any editing command) will illuminate the 
lights as indicated above. 

 

The following LED patterns indicate faults:

 

 

 

 

 

Indicates  Solution 

 

 

 

 

No power to 

the LT1 

 

1)  Check battery connections 
2)  Confirm wire connections to the terminal block 

and terminal block firmly seated 

Battery fully 

discharged 

1)  Replace battery 
2)  If being used with a solar panel and regulator, 

check connections to ensure battery being charged 

  

or 

 

N/A  N/A  N/A 

SD card not 

inserted 

Power off the LT1. Insert SD card or confirm inserted 
SD card is properly seated and locked.

N/A  N/A

 

CELL: 

No cellular 

connection 

It can take 1-20 minutes (or longer) to get an initial 
cellular connection based on numerous factors such 
as geographical location, carrier, if the signal has to 
roam etc.  If after a reasonable time based on the 
above factors, the cellular LED is still blinking try the 
following: 
1)  Check Cellular antenna connection  
2)  Confirm SIM card is inserted correctly 
3)  SIM card not activated. Call cell plan provider to 

activate.

GOES/ 

Meteosat: 

No 

transmission 

possible  

 

1)  No GPS time fix:  Wait for GPS time fix 
2) Invalid configuration so transmission not possible.
