SERVICE REQUEST: James C. Rawls, PLS – James Rawls: 02/17/2022 [185.93.229.3]

Equipment:
R8-3 Serial #5208482930 firmware 4.84
TSC7 Serial #DAD182500316
Trimble Access 2021.21 (21.20.205)
S5 Serial #37021065

Summary of issues:

Sporadically the camera in the TSC7 will not work. This happens both in Access and from windows.
Get a message about something timed out.

With the R8 I will get a message “receiver is not responding attempting to reconnect”
The receiver has not cut off due to a low battery or a shake that might break the battery connection.
Sometimes I can go a couple of weeks without this happening and sometimes it’s so bad I cannot stay connected long enough to get a measurement.

The S5 has failed to connect a few times over the last 4-5 months, but previously a reboot on it and the TSC7 has got them connected.
The last 4 days I have attempted to use it I have not been able to get a connection at all.
The S5 displays this message: Missing devices: radio,sat_mounted:307ff

SERVICE REQUEST: Pond – Wales Barksdale: 02/16/2022 [185.93.229.3]

Charge port appears damaged. This issue was not noticed initially as we only had small field efforts and the charge was sufficient. However, during recent full day efforts teams noticed it was not keeping a charge. Further investigation revealed the charge port looked damage and the cable was not inserting securely.

SERVICE REQUEST: MRS Consultants – Elizabeth Ryba: 02/15/2022 [192.88.135.3]

Handheld unit freezes up and nothing will respond for up to five minutes and then everything is fine. If longer than that we usually restart but try not to as we are not exiting the program/job in the usual manner. Sometimes this helps and sometimes not. Once the unit starts freezing it becomes a pretty frequent occurrence.

The other issue is in terms of accuracy of the point taken. The accuracy shown on the screen is pretty high and fluctuates between 15 m and 5 m. Never gets below 5 m.

Terrasync has been updated and then reinstalled and problems still the same.

SERVICE REQUEST: Louisiana State University – Xuelian Meng: 12/21/2021 [192.88.135.3]

unit 1: 5703475711, LSU property ID 712792 (easier to find)
when plugging in the charging cable to a wall outlet, the charging light won’t be on. however, internal power setting shows that the device is charging.

Unit 2: 5702475701, LSU property ID 712791
The screen is hard to see especially in the field. I had to view the screen from bottom up angle. I thought that it was the screen protection sheet problem. but it issue doesn’t go away even i peel the screen protector off.
After fixing the screen issue, would you please also help remove the bubble in the screen protector?

For the question about warranty, this device is purchased by our Department of Geography & Anthropology. Please help check the warranty or email me for the request if needed so that I will ask our IT support.
Thanks

SERVICE REQUEST: Woodard & Curran – Clayton Marcotte: 12/09/2021 [185.93.229.3]

The unit intermittently powers off while using. Both batteries are relatively new, and problem has occurred with both batteries.

This unit had a similar problem in 2017. See below for a description of the repair from Kris Comeaux:

“Unit # 5352437933 was impacted and will need to have the battery contacts at the main board realigned + reseat J2 connector at lna board + update o/s and gps firmware + reload TerraSync software”

This scanner was attached to TSC7 DAD194400103 which recently came back from repair. When we sent out that device we mentioned that the barcode scanner doesn’t work. It came back with this same scanner which is still faulty. It is recognized by the OS but the scan engine does not light up when triggered. We replaced it with a new EM110 module and it lights up fine when triggered.

battery latch needs replacement

please remove cracked screen protector too. I left this one on so you could have an example of something we discussed a few months back while on a call with Trimble/NEI about how sometimes the glass screen protectors become very hard to remove, only coming off in small chunks at a time. We will install a new screen protector upon return.

SERVICE REQUEST: Contour Engineering, LLC – Eddie Sorrell: 10/29/2021 [185.93.229.3]

After installing Terrasync, we are still having some issues with our unit Trimble Geo 7x. We would like to send it to you for service. Current issues….
• After reloading Terrasync it only gives an option for one coordinate system
• On the navigation screen it does not indicate arrow, bearing, Northern/Eastern once a target is selected.

SERVICE REQUEST: American Innovations – Lon Duke: 10/18/2021 [192.88.135.3]

Two R2 charging bases are not working.
The lights will not illuminate showing that they are working.
The end user tried swapping out power cords to make sure it wasn’t that and the cords did work with different devices, so they’re pretty sure it’s the bases themselves.

They are: S/N 024701185141081A and 024701185141092A

SERVICE REQUEST: SEASIDE ENGINEERING AND SURVEYING – CHELSEA HOWARD: 10/14/2021 [185.93.229.3]

1. Would not connect to total station. Did not have a radio option for the total station. Only listed comm ports and bluetooth. Spoke to Robert and he dialed into it and could not do it. He removed Trimble access and reinstalled it and it still would not operate.
2. There is a data SIM card stuck in the SIM card slot. It was too small and the guy dropped it in there and we could not get it out.
3. The box that was made for the collector still allows collector to move around in box. Need some foam pieces added so that it can’t moved around as much.

Initial problem was when creating a new job would get the error “not able to create geodetic data”. Select it and it would close Survey Pro completely.

Talked with Chris Cothran and he suggested downloading and installing geoid. After doing so, data collector will not boot up at all.

Chris has some screen shots and error messages and is aware of problems we are having.

SERVICE REQUEST: – jcaughman@allenhoshall.com: 09/03/2021 [185.93.229.3]

Standard clean and calibration etc. Firmware/Software update, diagnostic check etc.
** Crew has stated that the tracker is having some lock issues on a random basis. The field operator has to return to the S6 where they find it ‘locked’ on some random point. They have to adjust/toggle the barrel to wake it back up and then it’ll work fine for a while.

SERVICE REQUEST: City of Hot Springs – Jonathan Rogers: 08/30/2021 [192.88.135.3]

Performed a factory reset on device a month ago where it resulted with not being able to connect to mobile broadband. No “LTE” or “3-4G” text by the reception symbol. Inserted a new SIM CARD and it appeared to be working two weeks ago.

As of August 23, 2021, it now it refuses to connect at all to mobile broadband once again. Performed numerous troubleshooting steps, still no direct connection. Verizon states that the sim card is pinging or active on their end though.
