Solutions for common Lixel L2 Pro issues
Troubleshooting
Quick solutions for common Lixel L2 Pro issues.
Power Issues
Device Won't Power On
- Check battery — Is it inserted correctly?
- Charge battery — Try a full charge
- Battery contacts — Ensure clean connection
- Hard reset — Hold power for 20 seconds
Battery Drains Quickly
Expected: 1.5 hours continuous scanning
If significantly less:
- Check battery health in LixelGO
- Avoid extreme temperatures
- Reduce scan mode density if possible
- Contact support for battery replacement
Connectivity
LixelGO Won't Connect
- Verify the L2 Pro is powered on
- Check your phone's WiFi settings
- Connect to the device's WiFi network (starts with "LIXEL-")
- Password is printed on the device label
Connection Drops
- Stay within 10 meters
- Avoid interference from other WiFi networks
- Ensure phone screen doesn't turn off
Scanning Issues
Tracking Lost
The scanner has lost its position:
- Don't move suddenly — Stay calm
- Return to a scanned area — Walk back slowly
- Wait for recovery — The app indicates when tracking resumes
- Use breakpoint rescan — If tracking can't recover
The Multi-SLAM algorithm is very robust. In most environments, tracking issues are rare.
Poor Point Cloud Quality
| Symptom | Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Sparse points | Moving too fast | Slow down |
| Gaps in data | Incomplete coverage | More overlap |
| Noisy surface | Reflective materials | Avoid direct scanning |
| Poor color | Bad lighting | Add illumination |
Colorization Issues
For photo-quality color:
- Ensure good, even lighting
- Avoid harsh shadows
- Clean the camera lenses
- Check camera settings in LixelGO
RTK Issues
RTK Not Connecting
- Verify RTK module is properly attached
- Ensure RTK base station is broadcasting
- Check RTK settings in LixelGO
- Move to area with better sky view
RTK Accuracy Degraded
- RTK accuracy degrades in tunnels/indoors
- The L2 Pro maintains 3cm accuracy up to 100m from RTK disconnect
- For pure indoor work, RTK is not needed
Software Issues
LixelStudio Won't Launch
- Check system requirements
- Update graphics drivers
- Run as administrator
- Reinstall the application
Large File Processing Slow
- Ensure adequate RAM (16GB+ recommended)
- Use SSD storage
- Close other applications
- Consider processing in segments
License Activation Failed
- Check internet connection
- Verify license key is correct
- Ensure no typos in key entry
- Contact support with your serial number
Hardware Issues
LiDAR Not Rotating
Do not attempt to manually rotate the LiDAR. Contact support immediately.
This indicates a potential motor or obstruction issue. Do not use the device until resolved.
Overheating
Normal operating temperature: Warm to the touch after extended use
If overheating warning appears:
- Stop scanning
- Power off the device
- Let it cool for 15-20 minutes
- Resume scanning in shade if possible
Physical Damage
For any physical damage:
- Do not attempt repairs
- Document the damage with photos
- Contact support with warranty card info
- Ship in original packaging if repair needed
