Troubleshooting LED conditions

SPS985/SPS986 GNSS smart antenna only.

The GNSS smart antenna has a simple display panel with LEDs to indicate the current status of the receiver. If you need more detailed information about what the receiver is doing, use a Trimble controller or laptop computer running the SCS900, GPS Configurator, or Configuration Toolbox software.

The SV Tracking LED is lit solidly and the Logging/Memory LED is flashing slowly

Possible cause

Solution

The receiver is in Monitor mode, ready for new firmware to be loaded or new options to be added.

Turn on or turn off the receiver. If that does not fix the problem, load the latest version of the firmware using Trimble Installation Manager. See Updating a receiver.

The SV Tracking LED is not flashing

Possible cause

Solution

The receiver is tracking fewer than four satellites.

Wait until the SV Tracking LED is flashing slowly.
