    Why can't my GSI Group Industrial Equipment recognize my password over the phone?
    • A
      Alexander JamesSep 23, 2025
      If the AA128 Touch of your GSI Group Industrial Equipment does not recognize your selection over the phone, try typing your choice slower (leave about 1/2 seconds between each key). This may be due to phone compatibility issues.

    Why does my GSI Group Agri-Alert 128 Touch Industrial Equipment shut down when I unplug it?
    • T
      Tanner GilmoreAug 25, 2025
      If your GSI Group Industrial Equipment system shuts down when you unplug it from the main sector, ensure the battery is correctly connected. Allow the system to recharge the battery for about 3.5 hours. Also, verify that the loads connected to the siren output, 12VDC output, 28 VDC output, and SBI power output do not exceed the circuit capacity. If the problem persists, contact your dealer.

    How to fix a siren that doesn't work on GSI Group Agri-Alert 128 Touch?
    • C
      christinagillAug 26, 2025
      If the siren on your GSI Group Industrial Equipment isn’t working, first ensure that the siren load does not exceed the circuit capacity. If no siren is connected to the siren terminals, connect a 1.5kΩ, ½ W resistor in its place, or disable the siren output. If the siren impedance is too high, add a 1,5K ?, ½W resistor to the siren circuit, as close to the siren as possible. Also, check if the siren wire or the siren itself may be defective. If the problem persists, contact your dealer.
