What to do if NORBIT iWBMS Industrial Equipment GUI does not match description or is not performing as described?
If the NORBIT Industrial Equipment GUI does not match the description or is not performing as described, obtain the latest installer from NORBIT Support.
What to do if NORBIT Industrial Equipment sonar or GUI does not behave as expected?
If the NORBIT Industrial Equipment sonar or GUI is not behaving as expected, perform a factory reset. Select 'Set Sonar Factory Defaults' on the Connection dialog to clear the configuration.
How to fix NORBIT iWBMS when sonar is connected but no INS data is received?
If the NORBIT Industrial Equipment sonar is connected but no INS data is being received, try the following: * Disable Windows Firewall, or allow NORBIT GUI access and add an exception for UDP port 5602. * Open Windows Command Prompt and type `ping 192.168.53.100` to check if the INS is detectable. * Check network configuration to ensure the computer IP address doesn't conflict with the INS IP address (192.168.53.100). * Check cable connections and re-seat if necessary. * Check for bent sonar cable pins. * Check for a possible IP address conflict in network settings. * Ground SIU. * Go to INS Tools > INS Setup Wizard and select Factory to restore default settings. * Perform the “resistance test” to check status of circuit components. Refer to Appendix for pinout diagrams.
How to achieve successful heading alignment in NORBIT iWBMS?
If you're unable to achieve successful heading alignment with your NORBIT Industrial Equipment: * Check antenna connections, ensuring that antennas are connected to correct primary/secondary sockets. * Verify offset measurements. * Reset INS to factory defaults and start configuration over. * Review the GNSS environment. Try a different area or time.
What to check if IMU is connected but there is no sonar connected in NORBIT Industrial Equipment?
If the IMU is connected but there is no sonar connected in your NORBIT Industrial Equipment setup: * Check cable connections and re-seat if necessary. * There may be a possible IP address conflict. Check network settings. * Ensure that GUI and BathyProxy are allowed in Windows Firewall. * Ground SIU.
Why the bottom detection quality is degraded in NORBIT Industrial Equipment?
If the bottom detection quality of your NORBIT Industrial Equipment is degraded: * Check the sonar head for marine biofouling. Clean barnacles off gently. * Check that sonar cable connectors are clean, dry, and properly seated.
What to do if NORBIT iWBMS Industrial Equipment surface SV sensor is not connected or shows incorrect values?
If the surface SV sensor is not connected or shows incorrect values on your NORBIT Industrial Equipment: * Check the SV sensor connection and tighten if necessary. * Stop the vessel to allow air bubbles to dissipate to see if reasonable values return. Adjust mounting to reduce bubble formation. * Inspect the sensor for visible damage. Any distortion in the sensor may cause incorrect measurements. * Check for foreign objects or debris on the sensor.
What to do if NORBIT iWBMS Industrial Equipment is unable to receive RTK corrections?
If you are unable to receive RTK corrections on your NORBIT Industrial Equipment, consider the following: * Check COM port settings. * Check cable connections. * Verify IP address and mount point if using network solution. * Check radio link, check frequency, and verify that baud rates and corrector types match. * Try with Null Modem to swap pins 2/3. * Check on a different unit to verify data stream. * For serial RTK data, use terminal emulator such as PuTTY to verify the data stream. * If using NTRIP, check the Internet connection and verify login details.
What causes NORBIT iWBMS Industrial Equipment sonar display freezes and data packets are dropped?
If the NORBIT Industrial Equipment sonar display freezes and data packets are dropped: * Run Windows Task Manager to check if unnecessary programs or processes are consuming excessive network bandwidth. * Replace bad switch, hub or cable. * Update the computer network card driver. * Select Set Sonar Factory Defaults on the Connection dialog.
How to resolve data quality issues (motion artefacts, etc.) in NORBIT iWBMS?
If you're experiencing data quality issues like motion artifacts with your NORBIT Industrial Equipment: * Ensure that multiple network cards (Wi-Fi and wired) are NOT connected to the same subnet, as this causes duplication of navigation data in the files. * Review the physical installation, ensuring that the mounting structure is rigid and free from vibration. * Check that there is no independent movement between GNSS antennas, and review the antenna separation (2m is ideal). * Review offsets and positioning quality. * Review the Data Quality Control Checklist.
