Problem
Possible cause and recommended solution
1. POWER
gateway or node does
not turn on, or node
does not charge
1.1 node or gateway power is off
The status indicator LED on the device may be off. Turn the
device on, and the status indicator LED should illuminate.
1.2 external power is off or miswired
Verify the device power source is connected correctly and
powered on.
1.3 wrong power supply
Using a power supply other than the one specified for the device
(or an external supply that is outside of the device operating
range) could result in permanent damage to the device or cause
it to not work properly.
1.4 node internal source select switch is incorrect
When the node is manufactured, it is set to internal battery
operation, but it can be configured to accept an external source.
When set to accommodate an external source, the battery
cannot be charged.
1.5 node battery is dead
If the node power source selector is set to internal, and the node
will not power on or charge, the node battery may need to be
replaced. Contact LORD MicroStrain

1.6 node battery fault
If the battery charge indicator on the node is only dimly
illuminated when charging is attempted, a battery fault condition
has occurred. Unplug power, and then plug it back in. The
indicator should turn on brightly, indicating charging.
1.7 node or gateway is damaged
If all power settings and connections have been verified, and the
node is still unresponsive, contact LORD MicroStrain
