14 Help in the event of malfunctions
161
Cause: The radio link between the total station and the system computer
is interrupted;
Control outputs: The outputs are locked in automatic mode;
Remedy: Check the wiring and the power supply for the radio devices;
Check the LEDs on the total station and on the radio device that visualise
the radio link;
Make sure that there are no metallic screening surfaces between the total
station and the system computer;
Specifically when working with GNSS
(Global Navigation Satellite Systems)
:
Cause: The missing correction signal means that no valid position is
produced by the GPS;
Control outputs: The outputs are locked in automatic mode;
Remedy: Please be patient for a moment; the search for the number of
satellites necessary for certain position definition can take a little time;
Please check the age of the last 3D software correction to be received.
The correction signal should be received in a cycle once per second;
Cause: The GPS cannot produce a valid position because there are not
enough satellites;
Control outputs: The outputs are locked in automatic mode;
Remedy: Please be patient for a moment; the search for the number of
satellites necessary for certain position definition can take a little time;
If the error message persists over a longer period of time, please move to
part of the construction site with a "clear sky";
3D
Cause: An unspecified 3D error has occurred;
Control outputs: The outputs are locked in automatic mode;
Remedy: Please comply with the information about the error given on the
system computer display;
Cause: The base station battery is flat;
Control outputs: The outputs are locked in automatic mode;
Remedy: Replace or recharge the battery;
OUT
Cause: The vehicle is outside the project or surface design;
Control outputs: The outputs are locked in automatic mode;
Remedy: Move back into the project or select the surface design
belonging to the current position;
