Possible causes for a failure on the SeaSTAR 3610 XPG2 correction include:
1. First-time power-up – The receiver may take up to 40 minutes to achieve normal operation. 2. Movement without GPS tracking – If the unit has been moved a long distance without tracking GPS, correction data may take time to stabilize. 3. Extended power loss – If the unit has been without power for a long period, correction data may take time to resume. 4. Incorrect mode setup – Ensure the receiver is set to HP/XP/G2 mode and that the data is available from the correct output ports (A/B or LAN). 5. Disabled GPS L1 output – Ensure the GPS L1 output is enabled for proper correction data reception. 6. Configuration issues – Check the interface settings in the Input/Output configuration menu to verify setup correctness.
Solutions: - Allow up to 40 minutes for normal operation if any of the first three causes apply. - Verify and correctly set the mode to HP/XP/G2. - Ensure GPS L1 output is enabled along with any necessary GLONASS or ionospheric corrections. - Check and correct configuration settings in the interface setup.
