Power-Up Messages & Light Blink Pattern
Startup Line 1 - Sensor Present Verification
When the TIM powers up it must initialize by hearing the bound sensors over the wireless link
before it begins to display alert or error messages (like low or flat tires, no GPS, etc.). If no
sensors are bound then Got # of # screen is NOT displayed but instead the Status Line 1
display firmware version screen is shown.
Startup Line 1
– Acquiring Bound
Sensors
Got ## of ### Sensors
Where first ## is the unique # of
sensors heard since the TIM has
powered up.
Where second ### is the total # of
sensors currently bound to the TIM
After all sensors are acquired or 30
seconds have transpired the firmware
version information will be displayed
on line 1.
Startup Line 1 – Firmware Version
Information
On boot the TIM displays its firmware
version (“Ver”) release date and a
configuration level (four digits on the
right). This information remains on the
screen for about 5 seconds before
changing to the normal running
information shown on line 1.
When the PeopleNet On-Board Computer is powered up (normally by turning the tractor
ignition on) it takes about 5 seconds to initialize before providing power to the TIM. The TIM
initializes by flashing a green light about three times and then turns off the light. This indicates
that the TIM has had a normal startup. Occasionally, a short blue flash may be observed but it
shouldn't last more than 1 second. If other colors are observed refer to the troubleshooting
section in the appendix of this manual.
