RTD Face Plate Description

Below outlines the legacy features on the face plate of the RTD Gen 4, with a detailed description of each LED RGB (red, green, and blue) and bluetooth status icon.

1. RTD Face Plate
2. HPTNET Screw on Connector
3. Status LED Icon
4. Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) LED Icon
5. WiFi LED Icon
6. Standalone Data Log & Bluetooth Button
7. USB-C

 

CAUTION: When over-voltage is detected , the RGB Status LED will become solid red and will remain solid red until voltage drops below 15.5v, then it will go back to solid green. Operating the RTD with voltage over 15.5v can cause damage to the RTD.

NOTE: When an over current event is detected, the firmware cycles three times by turning the bus OFF and ON to see if current is below threshold. If any of the three attempts comes back reading adequately, the LED turns red only, after the firmware has used all three tries and the current is still high. Only a power or OBD reset will let the RTD recover from this state.
