Troubleshooting
MALÅ GX HDR has been designed to be robust and reliable under adverse conditions. If you
encounter a mechanical failure that cannot be fixed on site, please contact Guideline Geo or your
local Guideline Geo representative for advice.
System Malfunctions
Most malfunctions are power/data communications or user settings related. Before contacting your
local Guideline Geo office or authorized dealer please follow these simple steps:
Check user settings
Enter the Measurement Parameters menu and check the settings for
Acquisition Mode, Wheel Type, Point interval etc.
Check battery capacity
Connect the battery to the charger and switch on the charger at the
electrical outlet. The light on the battery charger should be either
yellow or green indicating an operative charge.
If the indicator light is red, continue charging until the charging
cycle is complete, i.e. indicator light turns green.
Check connectors
Disconnect and reconnect the battery pack on the GX HDR
antenna.
If using the external battery bag, disconnect and reconnect
the battery connector in the battery bag.
Disconnect and reconnect both ends of the data cable between the
antenna and the MALÅ GX Controller.
Check the pulse encoder connector on the rear of the antenna.
When disconnecting/reconnecting, check the connectors for dirt
or foreign objects.
Restart MALÅ GX HDR
Controller and Antenna
Turn off the MALÅ GX HDR antenna and controller, by first selecting
QUIT from the on-screen menu options on the Controller, confirm
the action by selecting YES, then push the power button on the
Controller and release quickly. The red light will then stop blinking
and the unit will also emit a click when turning off. Wait 10 seconds
before switching on the Controller and antenna.
Note:
If the Controller is not responding, turn the unit off by pushing the power switch.
