What does it mean when the Elevation Control key displays “Waiting for radio link” on Topcon Control Systems?

If the Elevation Control key displays “Waiting for radio link” on Topcon Control Systems, there may be an issue with radio transmission, antenna, Legacy-E+ receiver lights, or power. Check that the Base Station is working correctly and that the TX light on the radio modem flashes. Also, check the Rover radio antenna on the machine and its cable connections. Ensure the radio channel is identical between the Base Station and the machine rover, and that the radio is correctly configured on the control box.

Why does measurement take too long with Topcon mmGPS 3D Paver?

If measurements are taking too long with Topcon Control Systems, the machine may be obstructing satellite signals to the antenna. Watch the measurement screen; if it says “waiting for satellites,” move the machine away from the antenna. Alternatively, the Control Point might be too close to obstructions. In this case, move to another Control Point or ask the surveyor to place a new one away from any obstructions.

If the screen display on your Topcon Control Systems turns off by itself, the fan may be damaged, causing the control box to overheat. Check to see if the fan is rotating. If it is not, the fan likely needs to be replaced. Contact your dealer.

Why does the screen display go dim by itself on Topcon Control Systems?

If the screen display on your Topcon Control Systems dims by itself, there are a couple of potential reasons. First, the fan may not be rotating, leading to overheating. Check the fan; if it's not working, it may need replacement – contact your dealer. Second, the control box has a self-adjusting brightness feature. Brightness may decrease if the control box overheats due to high ambient temperatures, or if the ambient light dims. The backlight also reduces when the ambient light becomes dim.

If the control box for your Topcon Control Systems fails to power on, the cable might be the issue. Ensure you're using the correct cable, that it's properly connected, and undamaged. The power cable should supply 12 to 24 VDC and be negative conductive, with a socket (positive) providing 12 to 24 VDC and an E socket serving as ground. Verify the cable is connected to the correct port. If the cable is damaged, contact your dealer for a replacement.

How to troubleshoot Legacy-E+ or Hiper Lite receiver that does not power on with Topcon mmGPS 3D Paver Control Systems?

If your Legacy-E+ or Hiper Lite receiver isn't powering on, ensure you're holding the PWR button down for at least one second; a quick press won't activate it. Also, check the power cable connection to the battery, ensuring RED is connected to positive and BLACK to negative, and that the battery is charged. Verify the RED dots on the power cable connector and the socket on the receiver are aligned, and the cable is fully inserted. If the power cable is damaged, contact your dealer for a replacement.

If there are no H.Error and V.Error values in Topcon Control Systems, ensure that the “Use for horizontal GPS localization” and/ or “Use for vertical GPS localization” check boxes have been selected. These check boxes need to be selected for a minimum of three points. The error value is calculated once three Control Points are measured and used for the GPS localization.

Why is the power indicator not flashing red on Topcon Control Systems?
K
Katie PughSep 8, 2025
If the power indicator does not flash red on Topcon Control Systems, power is supplied through the cable connected on the power port. Check that the cable is properly connected. The MC-2.5 Receiver Box turns on only while the control box is powered on.

If the Elevation/Slope Control pad displays “GPS receiver not connected!” on Topcon Control Systems, either the GPS+ or radio signal is invalid. Check cable connections along the GPS antenna cable from the GPS antenna port on the MC-2.5 Receiver Box to the rover antenna. Also, check connections at the System Five port on the MC-2.5 Receiver Box and Connector D (bottom) on the 9168 control box.

What to do if Pocket-3D does not connect to Legacy-E+ or Hiper Lite+ in Topcon mmGPS 3D Paver?
J
Johnny BryantSep 3, 2025
If Pocket-3D isn't connecting to Legacy-E+ or Hiper Lite+ with Topcon Control Systems, first ensure that the Legacy-E+ or Hiper Lite+ is switched on. Next, check that the cable is connected to the COM port on the computer and Port A on the Legacy-E+. If there's still no connection, try resetting the computer and repeat the process.
