Troubleshooting
This section lists some problems that you might encounter while using your HydroLink ML2
transceiver:
Symptom Possible
solution
I cannot connect.
•
Make sure that you have connected power to your transceivers. The LED
indicator should emit a green light when powered up, being ready to send and
receive data then turning blue.
•
Your remote instrument is not configured to use the same serial settings (e.g.
baud rate) as your HydroLink ML2.
•
Your transceivers are too far away from each other. Move them closer or raise the
base antenna.
•
Check all cabling connections.
The link between my
transceivers
disconnects.
•
There is substantial interference.
•
Your transceivers are too far away from each other. Move the two devices closer
to each other or raise the base antenna.
There is no color on
the LED indicator.
•
Make sure that power is connected to the device by checking: data/power circular
connector on HydroLink face, quick-disconnects, battery connections are polarity
correct, Kobiconn DC adapter is connected, toggle switch is in the “on” position.
I’m receiving data but
it’s garbled.
•
Verify the baud rate on your data instrument matches the baud rate of your
HydroLink ML2. If your GPS is Trimble DSM132, restore unit to factory defaults
(see section 5, RS-232 Interfacing).
I have no power.
•
Check your battery, battery connections, and fuse.
