Problem Explanation / Recommendation
Display shows “SENSOR
TIMEOUT”
continuously.
This message indicates that the HydroSense II
display has not received a response from the
sensor. Check that the connectors are mated
correctly, the pins are clean, and the connector
has not been damaged. If this problem persists,
please contact Campbell Scientific.
Display shows “NO GPS
LOCK. STORE
ANYWAY?” when
attempting to store data.
This warning indicates that the GPS has not
achieved synchronization with the GPS satellite
network. This may occur because the GPS has
been turned off, does not have a clear view of the
sky or simply has not been turned on long enough
to achieve synchronization. If selecting OK in
response to this query, data will be stored without
positional information and the date and time
information may be inaccurate.
The volumetric water
content is reported as
“---”.
“---” indicates that the water content sensor was
unable to determine the volumetric water content
for these soil conditions. Try taking the
measurement a few more times or try another
location close by. For extreme or special soils,
period can sometimes be used in conjunction
with a soil specific calibration to yield usable
results.
The main screen shows
“GPS off” in the bottom
bar.
This indicates that the GPS is turned off. Please
refer to Appendix A.14, GPS Settings (p. A-6) to
find the GPS power control.
