  1. Open the Power Center and make a connection via OTA connection to the gateway.

  2. Ensure that the hardware version of the gateway has been updated, if not, update it via the Galooli solution >> My versions tool as a standard procedure.

  3. Move the gateway outside to a location where GPS reception is better for 5-10 minutes until the location is corrected. In the event that the process is not successful, proceed to the next section.

  4. By using the Power Center, you can manually set the location of the gateway. The unit configuration should be read, the relevant data should be changed, and the configuration should be written. In order to determine whether the location has changed, check the map in the Panorama application.

GPS module of Galooli gateway determines and saves the gateway's coordinates. Location is determined by the gateway.

Whenever satellite reception is not available or due to a technical malfunction, the position of the unit cannot be determined, then the position may be manually adjusted. However, it is important to emphasize that once the GPS module is again active, it will determine the position, not the manual adjustment.

  1. In the event that the location has not been changed, please open a ticket with the specific example and describe the actions you have taken.

How to Detect the Fault?

Troubleshooting Steps

It appears that all the units in the organization tree are disconnected. Disconnected units are displayed in gray color.

  1. In case not all of the units are disconnected, it is not a Galooli system failure and most probably related to a local network issue.

  2. If all the units in the organization tree are disconnected it can be one of the two:

    • Galooli system failure.

    • Local network issues.

  3. First step is to verify that the local network is up:

    • Check with your communication provider if there is a known issue.

    • Use a different communication provider in one of the units or in a test unit, if the unit is communicating with Galooli’s cloud then the issue is local.

4. In case even after testing with a different communication provider there is no communication escalate the issue to Galooli. Galooli Support

Summary Report With No Values

How to Detect the Fault?

Troubleshooting Steps

How to Detect the Fault?

Troubleshooting Steps

Whenever a summary report that should logically display data is run, the displayed data is zero.

  1. To determine the specific day when the issue occurred, run the same summary report with the “Data Aggregation” set to "daily".

  2. Following the identification of a problematic day, you should prepare a detailed report on a particular day and specific unit. A detailed field must be located on which the summary field that returned the result 0 in the original report was based.
    To determine which summary field is based on which detailed field, please refer to this link.

  3. In the event that there is data in the detailed report but not in the summary, please open a ticket with the specific example and specify whether it is a specific unit/group of units or the entire organization as well as whether it is one summary field, multiple summary fields, or all summary fields.

Troubleshooting Steps

How to Detect the Fault?

Troubleshooting Steps

The NOC alarms table does not display an alarm, despite the fact that the alarm is active.

  1. Alarm Status (Physical Device) - Ensure that the alarm is indeed active on the source device (Rectifier/Generator). As long as the alarm is active, you may proceed to the following steps to ensure that the alarm is displayed in the Galooli Solution.

  2. You should ensure that you have access permissions to view the site in order to view the actual alarm.
    Permission Management | Clusters Permission

  3. In the NOC alarms table, be sure to look at the appropriate category of alarms.
    Galooli NOC Application | Alarms Table

  4. Ensure that the alarm is "enabled" and that the "Activation Delay” time is appropriate.
    Galooli NOC Application | Add Alarm

  5. Verify that the site/unit in question is configured as "Certified"

    Information | Additional Information

Assuming all of the above sections are correct, you will need to determine whether this is a real-time alarm or a historical alarm you wish to investigate, and if this is the case, continue to work with the table.

Real Time Case Study

In the event that the alarm is activated now, then locate the unit in the Panorama application organization tree and, using the Live mode, locate the alarm in its relevant card.
Site Unit View

Then check the NOC application to see if the alarm appears in the alarms table.

Historical Case Study

If the alarm occurred in the past, the Pro application detailed report can be used to locate the alarm.
Detailed Reports

To compare the relevant field in the detailed report with the NOC alarm, use the NOC alarm table documentation >> “System Parameter Name” column.

NOC Alarms List

To locate the alarm, use the NOC System Log menu.

Galooli NOC Application | System Log

It is essential to keep in mind that when investigating information from the past, although the particular alarms documentation will not change, the configuration of the NOC application may have been modified by the user at that time.

If the alarm was found in Panorama application or Pro application, but not in NOC application, please open a ticket to the Galooli support team. A detailed description of the problem and steps taken so far to resolve it should be included in the ticket.
