Care & Maintenance

13.2 Cable Care
With the use of this product in rough, dusty and outdoor environments, users can minimize
potential downtime if they care for cables and treat connectors with respect.
1) The cable connectors as well as the connectors on the GPR Sensor and Display Unit
need to stay clean and free of dust and moisture. Use a brush or air spray to clean
dust, lint and other foreign particles from these connectors.
2) The power and odometer receptacles on the top of the LMX200 are watertight, but do
not allow water to get into the receptacle by connecting the battery and odometer
cables in the rain
3) After working in rainy conditions, disconnect the cables and check for water in the
receptacles. Remove the water or allow to air dry, if necessary. Never allow the
system to sit in rainy conditions for long periods of time.
4) When the system is not being used, make sure the connections are protected to
prevent dust and moisture from collecting inside. If the connectors are exposed, cover
them with some sort of dust cap.
5) Cables and connectors are not designed to suspend or tow or otherwise carry the
weight of systems. They are part of the electronic circuit and should be treated
accordingly. When not in use they should be placed in their storage box.
13.3 Skid Pads
The bottom of the GPR Sensor is covered with one large wear-resistant skid pad. The skid pad
is designed to take the majority of the abrasive wear. If the pad wears down enough, the less-
resistant plastic housing may start to wear. If this occurs, it is best to replace the skid pad. It is
easily removed with a screwdriver and a new one can be purchased from the vendor.
13.4 Odometer
The odometer should be periodically calibrated (refer to Section 4.4.6) to ensure accuracy.
13.5 Storage Cases
Equipment that is transported and stored loosely is more susceptible to damage. All equipment
should be stored in its shipping case or a storage box. Sensors & Software has optional
shipping cases available for all LMX200 systems.
13.6 Upgrading Embedded Software on Display Unit
From time to time, Sensors & Software may release new software for the Display Unit. The
instructions below describe how to update this software. Please note that this procedure will
erase all GPR data from the system, so export any valuable data before continuing.
