Light Sequences
Installation and Registration
The status and correct operation of the unit, both during and after registration, can be determined from the four LEDs on the unit as shown in (Fig7).
Refer to Sections 9 for further instructions.
The correct start up sequence is as follows:
1. Each LED will flash in sequence upon (Red, Yellow, Orange, Green and then all illuminate). Fig 7
2. The Yellow (vehicle Comms), Orange (GSM) and Green (GPS) LEDs will flash steadily, (Fig. 8) and then remain ‘on’ when successful in setup
When these 3 LEDs are all on the unit will transmit data to our systems.
3. If successful, the Red LED will illuminate also (and will blink every 4 seconds).
4. All four LEDs should now be on solid to demonstrate this stage is complete. (Fig. 10, overleaf) Switch off the vehicle’s ignition – after a short period all LEDs should be OFF.
(Red LED will blink on every 5 seconds).
In the event that the LED sequences above are not completed, or you are experiencing any issues, please refer to Sections 7 for help and troubleshooting guidance
Installation of the unit is not complete until it has been registered with the Airmax Remote servers.
This start up sequence process is automatic and begins as soon as the vehicle’s engine is started and the RTU has power, GSM/GPS and vehicle connection, the LED Sequence will indicate its completed steps.
Registration requires the unit to send and receive messages over GPRS using GSM network and should only take approximately 5 minutes. However, in areas of poor network coverage, or in metal skin buildings, registration may be slow, or not possible. Also, the unit will not complete registration until it has obtained a valid GPS fix/position which may be difficult in metal skinned buildings therefore it may be necessary to drive the vehicle to a location with good GPS coverage to complete the process.
Installation and Registration continued.
If registration does not complete within a few minutes, orthe unit does notshow thissequence of flashing LED then theremay be an issue with the installation or hardware placement, please re-check; or use a voltage meter to check power as the vehicle may have its fuse removed, or still in transport mode
Please refer to the Help / Problems section below.
If you need to contactthe Airmax Remote help desk for advice, wemay ask you to describe how the LEDs are flashing
NOTE: If the engine is switched off before registration is complete, the unit will attempt to complete the whole sequence again once the engine has been restarted.
Thisis because the unit will assume it has not been correctly installed until it has received a message from the Airmax Remote host.
It is important to ensure the unitis working correctly before progressing to ‘Completing Installation’ i.e. finish securing the unit and re-fitting trim etc.
Do not disconnect any cables once registration is complete as the installation will be considered failed and charges may apply to rectify.
