Status LEDs

VersaPNT's front panel status LEDs provide a real-time status overview: Eight (8) LEDs indicate the unit's current operating state:

The LEDs can be disabled, see Blackout Mode.

Blinking Intervals

The status LEDs can communicate five different operating states:

  • "OFF"
  • "ON"
  • "FAST": blinking interval @ 8Hz
  • "SLOW": blinking interval @ 2Hz
  • "HEARTBEAT": sinus-shaped interval @ 1Hz

LED Lighting Patterns

The table below indicates LED status light patterns for common VersaPNT operating statuses.

Legend for Status LEDs

Icon Light Meaning
OFF No power
HEARTBEAT Booting
ON Powered
OFF No GNSS reception (0 satellites)
HEARTBEAT GNSS acquisition in process (≥ 1 satellite(s), or 1PPS OK, or Time OK
SLOW Jamming detected
FAST Antenna short circuit
ON GNSS is available as reference (1PPS and Time OK)
OFF Inputs not detected/all inputs are disabled
FAST 1 or more input is missing, or invalid timing on 1 or more input detected
ON Inputs are enabled
OFF Unit is in Holdover (valid)
ON System Clock OK (valid)
FAST Invalid Time (Holdover period exceeded, or oscillator damaged)
OFF No output signal(s) detected/all outputs are disabled
FAST Malfunction detected (short circuit, or overload)
ON Outputs are enabled
OFF No network detected
FAST Network malfunction detected (e.g., no auto-negotiation)
ON Network OK, configuration OK
OFF Unit OK
FAST Unit requires attention; check other status LEDs, see Web UI
HEARTBEAT See table LED Lighting Patterns
OFF No position and navigation solution
SLOW Solution is in the Initializing state or the Aligning state
ON System is Aligned and represents the best solution

Note: Older hardware models may have a temperature symbol instead of the Position and Navigation symbol in the far right LED position. If you have a software version installed that is later than 1.4.0.a, this LED symbol will reflect the Position and Navigation status. The temperature alarms are now incorporated into the Fault LED status light.

LED Patterns during Boot Sequence

For the first five seconds after power-up all LEDs will be OFF. Then the Power LED will be blinking before it will be lit permanently. If you have configured your unit to operate in Blackout Mode, this will take effect once the blinking cycle ends.

Blackout Mode

All LEDs can be turned off via the Web UI.

The LED brightness level can be set from 63 (as bright as possible) to 0 (not visable).

To disable all LED activity via the WebUI:

  • Navigate to MANAGEMENT > OTHER: LED Configuration, and set the Brightness level to "0".
