Problem
Possible cause and recommended solution
If the node status indicator shows the node booting in a mode
other than the normal boot mode, it can be bypassed by toggling
the node ON/OFF switch rapidly three times, then leaving it in
the ON position for normal power up. In normal boot mode the
communication can be established with automatic node
discovery (or manually) once the boot process is complete and
the node is in idle state. Start-up mode can then be changed in
the software.
2.6 node is sampling
Observe the node status indicator LED to determine the
device's state: boot, idle, sample, or sleep. If the node is
sampling, it cannot be configured. In Node Commander
®
,
execute the Stop Node command to put the node in idle state,
allowing configuration to occur.
2.7 node is sleeping
Observe the node status indicator LED to determine what state
it is: boot, idle, sample, or sleep. If the node is sleeping, it cannot
be configured. In Node Commander
®
, execute the Stop Node
command to put the node in idle state, allowing configuration to
occur.
2.8 gateway or node is damaged
Verify all connections, power, and settings. If available, try
installing alternate nodes and gateways one at a time to see if
the faulty device can be identified. If no conclusion can be
determined or to send a device in for repair, contact LORD

3. DATA ACQUISITION
sensor data is missing
or incorrect
3.1 no communication to node or gateway
Verify connections and power to the node and gateway. Verify
they are powered on and communicating with the software.
Enter a configuration menu to verify that the node can be
accessed.
3.2 sampling settings are incorrect
If the sampling mode, rate, or duration are not performing as
expected, enter the node configuration menu, and verify the
