Appendix 3
Troubleshooting
1. I am getting the “VWC%=ERR!” message.
This message appears for two reasons.
1. If the meter is set to read 1.5” (TURF) rods while in HiClay
mode. There is no high clay calibration for the rod length op-
tion. Change the rod length or switch to Standard calibration
mode.
2. The probe block is damaged. A replacement probe (Item
6440FSS) can be purchased from Spectrum Technologies.
2. I am getting VWC values near 0% for all measurements,
even in very wet soil.
Most likely a circuit component in the display is damaged and
must be repaired. Contact Spectrum Technologies or your dis-
tributor to obtain a Return Goods Authorization (RGA) num-
ber.
3. Unable to bring up the Meter Settings screen.
Generally, this indicates that the PC is not able to communicate
with the meter. Check the following:
- The interface cable is securely connected to both the PC and
the meter
- The meter has fresh batteries
- The meter is off
- The correct COM port is selected (see p. 9)
- The Meter Type is set to the TDR family (see p. 11)
