3 Troubleshooting and Diagnostics
No light indication
Power loss.
Solid red light
Actuator Control error condition. The actuator has not responded to the control system,
check the electrical connections.
Blinking red light
The Wireless Sensor Network link is not established and is in progress.
Failure to establish connection with the network may indicate a network configuration error or
weak signal conditions. Make sure the node is in range of either an active gateway device or
another network-associated SynapSense Node. A Node may take up to 20 minutes to fully
join an existing network.
Nodes may fall out of an active network if their signal strength is weak. Consider topology
changes such as the addition of repeaters of the movement of other Nodes in order to
improve signal conditions. For more information, see the SynapSense Wireless Sensor
Network User’s Guide.
Blinking blue light
Actuator control is in progress. The actuator motor is changing positions.
Solid blue light
Normal operation without actuator control movement.
