3. TX312 Functions
3.1 LED Function
The TX312 has four LEDs used to indicate the state of the TX312 transmitter.
When power is first applied to the TX312, the four LEDs will cycle through
quickly, then the Synchronizing Clock to GPS LED will light for 15 minutes.
If there are data in a buffer waiting for transmission time, the Data In Buffer
LED will light.
During transmission, the Transmitting LED will light.
The Fault LED will only light after the Diagnostics button has been depressed.
Press and hold the Diagnostics button for about 2 seconds. The Fault LED will
flash once to indicate the Failsafe has not been tripped. If the LED flashes
twice, the Failsafe has tripped. To clear the Failsafe, press and hold the
diagnostic button for about 10 seconds. If the failsafe has tripped, the
transmitter probably needs to be returned for service.
