Veris 3150 MSP3 Operating Instructions Manual page 51

Pub. # OM20-MSP3-3D
This time warning is to let the operator know that a measurement cycle is requiring excessive time.
While an occasional cycle may exhibit this warning; see the troubleshooting section if this occurs
frequently.
The Veris MSP pH Manager uses two electrodes for optimal data quality. If there is a difference of
0.75 or greater between the final electrode readings, the software will beep and the pH readings
will flash, informing the operator of the erroneous reading.
To pause the data collection process at any time (but keep the same file), press Engage button.
Once the sampling process has completed its cycle, it will disengage and the status text message
will indicate disengaged (press Engage to start cycling again). If the system no longer senses a
speed signal from the GPS, it will also disengage. NOTE: do not depend on the GPS speed signal
for disengagement.
Before inspecting or working around any
component of the system, press the Engage key
and ensure the engage light is red before exiting the
vehicle. Sporadic GPS signals may simulate
movement and initiate the cycling process,
resulting in possible entanglement and injury.
There are warning signals programmed into the SoilViewer to warn the operator that data are not
being recorded, so that corrective action can be taken. If data aren't being recorded, a warning
beep will sound from the computer, and the text indicator of the data that is missing information will
blink. For example, if the DGPS isn't being received (or the NMEA string containing speed) the Fix
indicator text will blink. If EC values are negative, they will also blink. Additional messages may
appear in the Warning Message Box (figure 59) as follows:

Potential SoilViewer Warning Messages
Error EC_RPBT - Unit Raised out of ground, but EC readings are positive. Check for a moisture
on the toolbar or a short between all EC Coulters.
Error EC_RPSH - Unit Raised out of ground, but EC Shallow readings are positive. Check for a
moisture on the toolbar or a short between EC Coulters 2 & 5.
Error EC_RPDP - Unit Raised out of ground, but EC Deep readings are positive. Check for a
moisture on the toolbar or a short between EC Coulters 1 & 6.
