LEDs, Status Indicators

GEOSTIX devices are equipped with four status indicators: three on the front panel and one on the rear side. The front-facing LEDs are multicolor and indicate the operating status of:

  • the GNSS module (satellite icon)
  • the GEOSTIX microcontroller (CPU icon)
  • the Bluetooth interface (Bluetooth icon, bottom)

The rear-facing LED is green-only and indicates battery charging activity.

The front panel hosts 3 multicolor status LEDs.A single green LED on the rear indicates active battery charging.
SATELLITE LED StateDescription
GNSS module initializing or no valid satellite signal detected.
GNSS in SINGLE or DGNSS mode (code-based corrections, e.g. SBAS).
RTK FLOAT mode (carrier-phase ambiguities unresolved).
RTK FIX mode (carrier-phase ambiguities resolved).
BASE station mode: broadcasting corrections via RF, Wi-Fi or 4G/LTE (depending on connected module).
CPU LED StateDescription
System operational, GPS time not yet synchronized. LED blinks at 1Hz.
System synchronized with GPS time. LED blinks at 0.5Hz.
System running, but battery level is below 15%.
Battery critically low. Triple red flash at startup indicates failure to boot.
Overlays other CPU states. Indicates active write operations to microSD card.
BLUETOOTH LED StateDescription
Device is in Bluetooth discoverable/pairing mode.
Active Bluetooth connection established.
