Buttons, LED's and Buzzer

Your turfRad sensor is equipped with 2 buttons and 2 LED indicator lights to provide you with information on the state of the sensor and allow manual intervention.

Restart Button:  If your sensor is powered, this button restarts your sensor. This can occasionally be helpful if experiencing issues with the app or during any support issues. If not powered externally, pressing it turns off the sensor.

Function Button: This button allows your sensor to operate in ”manual” mode. You can press the button to begin data collection. You can ”long press” (hold down for 5 seconds) to force the sensor into data upload mode.

Restart LED: This light around the Restart button is lit anytime the sensor is powered (or on battery power).

Function LED: This light has 3 modes: Steady On: Data collection in process. Slow Flash (1/sec): The sensor receives GPS signal (location) and is in ”idle” mode in the facility. Quick Flash (5/sec): The sensor is connected to WiFi, checking for updates, installing updates, or uploading data.

The turfRad sensor has a multitone beep/chirp. Don’t be surprised if you hear it beeping at you. Although you won’t likely hear it over the rumble of an engine.

  • Startup: 4 beeps
  • GPS position lock: 2 beeps
  • Measurement Start: 4 beeps (low-high-low-high)
  • Upload complete: 3 beeps (high-med-low)
