3.2. LED Status Indicator
When the activation process has been successfully completed, the tri-color LED on top of the Coyote UGS node
will start blinking RED. This confirms that the node has been activated and is beginning a self-test. If the self-
test fails, the LED will turn solid RED. If this occurs, the Coyote UGS node will need to be deactivated by
following the Deactivation procedure.
RED Blinking – Confirms successful activation and indicates self-test is in progress
RED Solid – Indicates the self-test failed. The LED will remain on until the node is deactivated
If the self-test passes, the LED will begin blinking ORANGE. During this time, it will begin searching for a GPS
lock and checking for communication with the Coyote network. The node may be buried at this time, but it is
advised to wait until a GPS lock and RF communication has been.
ORANGE Blinking – Indicates self-test has passed; node is searching for comms and GPS
Once the node has passed self-test and has established RF communications, the LED will begin blinking
GREEN. Once the node passes self-test, establishes RF communications, and obtains a GPS lock, the LED
will remain solid GREEN. At this time the node it is recommended to bury the Coyote UGS node.
GREEN Blinking – Indicates self-test has passed and the node has established RF comms
GREEN Solid – This confirms successful self-test, RF communication, and GPS lock
The nodes will attempt the self-test process and search for RF communication and GPS lock for a total of 10
minutes once the node has been activated. After 10 minutes from activation, the LED will go off and the node
will begin reporting alarms. After 30 minutes from activation, the node will begin reporting tamper alarms.
