Direction light, blue or green flashing on the Zimmatic 700C

An independent guide from FixMyPivot, not from the manufacturer. Brand and panel names are here only so you can find your own equipment.

What it means

Command accepted, waiting to start.

A flashing blue or green direction light means the command to run was accepted and the pivot is waiting on start conditions before it moves. It can start moving on its own at any time, so treat it as live. If it keeps flashing and the pivot never moves, look at the setup light. A yellow or red setup light can point to what is holding it up.

This is what it means on the Zimmatic 700C. On a different panel the same light or message can mean something else. Wrong panel? Pick another Zimmatic panel.

Safety

Center pivots run on high voltage and heavy moving machinery. Shut off and lock out power at the main disconnect before you open a panel or touch anything electrical. If you are not sure, stop and call your local pivot dealer or a licensed electrician. These pages tell you what a code means. They do not replace a qualified technician, and the safety instructions that came with your equipment come first.
