Maintaining a stable GPS signal is essential for Yarbo to function efficiently. While Yarbo’s advanced system ensures smooth operation, several factors can affect its GPS performance. This guide covers common causes of GPS signal loss and how to troubleshoot them effectively.
GPS Icon Colors and Their Meanings
- Green Icon: GPS is online and connected – Yarbo is functioning properly.
- Yellow Icon: Medium GPS signal – Yarbo is still operational, but performance may be affected.
- Red/Gray Icon: No GPS signal – Yarbo cannot receive a GPS signal and will not operate correctly.
Common Causes and Troubleshooting Solutions
1. No Halow or 4G Connection for Data Center and Yarbo Rover
Cause: The Data Center and Yarbo rover need Halow or 4G connectivity for reliable GPS operation.
Solution:
- Check the network settings for both the Data Center and Yarbo rover.
- If the problem persists, contact Yarbo Support for further assistance.
2. Satellite Signals Blocked by Obstructions
Cause: Objects like buildings, trees, or other obstacles can block satellite signals from reaching the Data Center and Yarbo rover antennas.
Solution:
- Move the Data Center or reposition the rover to an area with a clearer view of the sky.
- Swap the antennas on the left and right sides of the Yarbo rover to optimize signal reception.
- If the issue continues, contact Yarbo Support.
3. Loose Connections at the Data Center
Cause: The connections between cables and the Data Center may not be secure.
Solution:
- Check all cables and ensure the connections to the Data Center are tight and secure.
- If the issue remains unresolved, contact Yarbo Support for further guidance.
4. Technical Issue with the Data Center
Cause: An internal issue or error may occur in the Data Center.
Solution:
- Check the indicator lights on the Data Center for any error messages.
- If the indicator is in red, try to replug POE port and contact Yarbo Support immediately for assistance.
5. Components Malfunction in the Yarbo Device
Cause: Internal components of Yarbo may not be functioning properly, disrupting GPS signals.
Solution:
- Inspect all connections and cables between Yarbo and the Data Center to ensure they are undamaged and properly connected.
- Verify that all antennas are properly installed and tightened.
- Reset Yarbo and reconfigure default settings if necessary.
- If the issue persists, contact Yarbo Support for further help.
6. Incorrect Adjust Angle on the Diagnosis Page
Cause: The diagnosis page displays an incorrect angle value (e.g., -1 or something other than 1), indicating a calibration issue.
Solution:
- Drive Yarbo to an open area for 3–5 minutes to recalibrate the system by using odometry calibration feature in Yarbo APP.
- Reset the “mode base” process through the app to ensure proper operation.
- Contact Yarbo Support if the problem remains unresolved.
