A configuration error message will be displayed if one or more of the configuration parameters stored in the memory are not
correct. The messages are explained as follows:
Checksum error
The EEPROM-signature was not found. The EEPROM -signature is not set when the EEPROM is empty or when the data stored is
lost or corrupted. If this error appears the EEPROM must be reconfigured.
Please
contact [email protected] .
Setup error
The setup error is set when the serial number, calibration constants or device setup information is missing. The calibration
constants for the external I/O sensors and device setup information are configured by Kipp & Zonen. The device must be
reconfigured. When this error appears the firmware will automatically repair the contents of the EEPROM ; calibration constants
and device setup parameters are set to default values and the serial number is cleared.
Please

The serial number is not set
This error is set when the serial number is cleared. The device must be reconfigured.
Please

Configuration error
This error is set when some of the user configuration parameters are missing or set to default values.
Check all parameters (see configuration menu) and reconfigure the device, or upload all configuration parameters via the
EVATION software to the receiver.
The log file is cleared
This message is shown if the records stored in the log file are deleted, because the firmware is not able to retrieve valid information
from the internal flash data memory.
Idle Mode
When the IDLE MODE is set the instrument will not collect data and the baud rate is set to 115200 baud to make fast data
transfer possible.
To enter the idle mode: Press the left and up keys at the same time for at least 30 seconds.
The receiver display will show the message:
When fast data transfer is in progress the instrument’s display alternates between the messages:
and
The receiver will stay in the idle mode whilst communication is in progress and will reset when there is no communication, or
when the firmware update or download is completed. To exit the idle mode press any navigation key when the message ‘The
Instrument Is Idle’ is shown.
Note Use the fast data transfer to collect data in the field, or to update the firmware, to prevent a laptop computer
battery running down before transfer is completed.
