The Safe Fleet FOCUS H2 display not turning on and power cycling every 30 seconds could be due to power-related issues. Possible causes include:
1. Insufficient Power Supply – The system may not be receiving stable power from the vehicle battery or UPS. 2. Loose or Faulty Connections – Check the power cables and connections to ensure they are secure. 3. UPS Battery in Use – If the UPS LED indicator is red, it means the system is running on battery power, which may not be sufficient for stable operation. 4. Ignition Off – If the ignition is off, the system may not receive power, causing it to cycle. 5. Hardware Failure – A malfunctioning power circuit or internal component may be preventing proper startup.
To troubleshoot, verify power connections, check LED indicators for power status, and ensure the vehicle ignition is on.
