2.3 Universal Hardware Platform Low Precision With GNSS and Wi-Fi
Radio (UHP-LPG)
The UHP-LPG is an industrial Single GNSS receiver and communications module intended as a
part of the Leica Jigsaw Mining Solution.
2.4 Universal Hardware Platform High Precision With Wi-Fi Radio (UHPHP)
The Leica Jigsaw UHP-HP is an industrial Dual Real Time Kinematic (RTK) GNSS receiver and
communications module intended as a part of the Leica Jigsaw Mining Solution.
This section describes the statuses of the LEDs on the UHP modules. The information contained
in this guide is intended for high-end users and engineering staff.
The UHP is not designed to be opened in the field and it is impossible to debug faults if the single
board computer (SBC)/Display is not working. To overcome this issue LED status codes indicate
the status of the module by different LED flashing patterns for different error conditions
3.1 Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs)
The UHP has single color Red LED for Error and Green for all other LEDs. There are five external
LEDs on the UHP module:
Power (Green)
CPU (Green)
GPS (Green)
Radio (Green)
Error (Red)
The Power and the Error LEDs display the status of the RTK corrections:
3.2 Basic Operation
The LED codes are broken up into Status and Error codes, while a Status code is being
displayed, Error codes are inhibited.
3.2.1 Status Codes
Status codes are used to indicate where the module is functioning correctly but is not in the
normal operating mode. For example, in low power mode due to the battery voltage being low.
3.2.2 Error Codes
Error codes are stored in a list, and the module cycles through the list displaying the codes one at
a time. See
The LEDs in an error state flash a code to indicate the error.
When a code is displayed there is a pause, then the next error code displays until it loops
back to the start of the list.
The start of the error list is indicated by the Power LED turning red for two seconds on the
Installation requires specialized knowledge and must be installed by a Leica Geosystems Mining
