If you want your survey equipment to help you make the most of your work, you will have to help it make the most of its lifespan. More specifically, your responsibility is to keep your equipment running as well as possible by performing the proper maintenance and seeking out a survey equipment repair service if any serious problems should develop. To help you know when a survey equipment repair service is necessary, here are a few common problems that develop in survey technology and what it could mean for your equipment if left unchecked.
Finicky Power Cables
There is always a chance of power failure with any electronic device on the market. One of the most common signs is a power cable that doesn’t work as it should. Your device may not recognize it when it’s plugged in, or you may need to hold it in a very specific position so it will power your equipment. When something like this happens, your first course of action should be to try and replace the power cable, if possible. If you can’t replace it, or you get the same response with another charger, you may want to consider taking your equipment to a survey equipment repair service to find the source of the problem.
Equipment Won’t Start
In rare cases, you may run into issues involving your equipment not starting at all. This could be due to dead batteries. If you suspect this to be the case, replace the batteries with a new set. But what happens if your equipment still doesn’t start, even with a brand new pair of batteries installed? If this is what’s happening, take your equipment to a survey equipment repair service. There is probably something wrong internally with the device, which can only be fixed by a professional.
