Implement blade is intermittently jumping up or attempting to deep dive.

Created by T3RRA Ag, Modified on Thu, 6 Feb at 6:02 PM by T3RRA Ag

Symptoms: 

Work is progressing normally but occasionally the blade will suddenly rise up, or attempt to aggressively dig.


Possible Cause:

  • A bad USB-to-Serial conversion dongle/adapter is causing corrupted height commands to be sent to iGrade. This can be diagnosed by checking the I/O Voltages page on the iGrade display and observing the last received messages. Occasionally you may see values being received to be truncated or otherwise corrupted.
  • Base receiver could have an intermittent failure. See Sudden Vertical Shifts.


Solution:

  1. Replace your USB-to-Serial cable with the one recommended. - FTDI US232R.
  2. Contact T3RRA or your dealer for a recommended make and model.
