Tracker replacement for customers
Explanation on how to replace a broken tracker by a new one and the related support procedure
First contact Sensolus
If you have a broken tracker, you should contact Sensolus by sending an email to support@sensolus.com providing the serial number(s) of the trackers that are broken and need to be replaced. Sensolus support can then initiate the RMA process.
Support will try first to identify remotely the root cause by doing some checks (we will look at the applied latest firmware version, diagnostic checks etc). If Sensolus support cannot solve the issue the RMA process will be started.
Send the broken trackers to Sensolus
Once the return sheet is available on the platform, return the tracker to the Sensolus headquarters (Sensolus NV, Moutstraat 54, 9000 Gent, Belgium). You can choose the shipping service of your preference.
Prepare the new trackers
Once you have received the new trackers you can remove the old tracker from the asset and take a new tracker and prepare the new tracker.
Before installing the new tracker on the asset, you should have done the described steps. The order in which you do the steps is not important, but be sure to have done all of them.
- Transfer the communication contract from the old to the new tracker.
- Optionally, transfer the tracker profile and the data of your old tracker to your new tracker.
- Check the status of the new tracker (you can do this on the platform) and activate it with a magnet if necessary. Look up how to activate the tracker by reading the tracker-specific installation & activation manual that you can find in the device section of the documentation center.
Mount the new tracker on your asset
The different ways to mount a tracker on an asset is explained in the mounting manual.
