FAQs
Q - A Hardware
My
Wavetracker is not picking up RF leaks. The display stays on 1uV/m
continuously. What could be the problem?
Check the menu of the Wavetracker to see if it is in the Channel
Tagging mode. If you don’t have a channel tag in the head
end, set this function to NO. If you do have a Channel Tag verify that
it is turned on and that the proper frequency switch is enabled. The
standard Trilithic channel tag uses the 20 hz tag. Turn the 2o hz
switch on. Turn the 3 hz switch off. In the Channel Tag mode the
Wavetracker will continue to display 1uV/m until the Tag is detected.
Call CLT Tech Support if the problem continues.
My
Wavetracker seems to read too high/low. What could the problem be?
Use the Antenna Factor on the Menu settings to adjust the internal 10db
pad. Measure a leak with a calibrated handheld leak detector at a
distance of 10’, then drive the Wavetracker vehicle into the
field. Set the distance on the Wavetracker to 10’ then press
the 10’ button to activate this distance. Use the up/down
arrows on the keypad to adjust the level to match the handheld.
How
often should the Wavetracker be calibrated?
Anually. Check the Calibration sticker on the back of the unit to see
when the next calibration is due.
What
is the correct procedure for sending my Wavetracker in for service or
calibration?
Call CLT Tech Support to acquire an RMA for return tracking.
My
GPS doesn’t seem to be locking in. What can I check before
calling Tech Support?
Go to VIEW / GPS on the Wavetracker display screen to verify that the
unit displays Satellite ID numbers. If not, call Tech Support. If you
have ID numbers check the SMA fitting on the GPS antenna to make sure
it’s not frayed or damaged. Next, remove the fitting from the
back of the docking station. While the Wavetracker is in the station
and turned on check the fitting of the rear of the Docking Station with
a Voltmeter. It should read approximately 5VDC.
I
need to change the frequency that my Wavetracker monitors. How can I do
this and what is the cost?
You must call Tech Support for an RMA to have your frequency changed.
Cost is $450.
Will
the ADF antenna work on my older Wavetracker?
No, the unit is designed for use with APLAS 3.i only.
My
Wavetracker with the ADF antenna reads a lower RF value than my other
leakage meters.
Check to make sure the power switch for the ADF is on. The switch is on
the back of the docking station. Also, go to the antenna factor menu
and make sure the ADF setting is chosen instead of the mono setting. If
still different, use the up/down arrow keys to adjust the antenna
factor.
