TROUBLESHOOTING

Troubleshooting

Any problem with the SRS will most likely manifest as failed com-
munication or erroneous readings. Before contacting METER about
the sensor, please check these troubleshooting steps.

9.1

Data Logger

1. Check to make sure the connections to the data logger are both

correct and secure.

2. Ensure that your data logger batteries are not dead or loose.

3. Check the configuration of your data logger to make sure you

have selected the correct SRS version (NDVI or PRI, “i” or
“r”).

4. If using METER loggers make sure that you are using the cor-

rect versions of logger firmware and software.

9.2

Sensors

1. Ensure that you install the sensors according to the “Installa-

tion” section of this manual.

2. Check sensor cables for nicks or cuts that could cause a mal-

function.

3. Check the sensor wavelength intensity results outside or under

a bright light. NDVI or PRI calculations may give no data or
erroneous data at low intensities.

9.3

Calibration

METER Group calibrates the Spectral Reflectance Sensor against a
NIST traceable transfer standard. Details about your sensor calibra-
tion are available upon request. We have a recalibration service avail-
able and recommend that you send in your SRS sensors for recalibra-
tion annually. Contact METER to obtain a Return Material Autho-
