485 Link light on the Zimmatic BOSS and Vision GPS position unit
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
Should stay solid on, off means the link to the panel's controller is down.
This light should stay solid on at all times. If it is not, the cable link between the GPS communication board in the main panel and the panel's own controller is not working. Loose or miswired connections on that cable can cause it, and so can panel software that is too old for the GPS option.
Call a technician for this one, rather than opening the panel.
This is what it means on the Zimmatic BOSS and Vision GPS position unit. 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.
