6.3 System Data Menu
The menu is accessed from the User Set up Menu (page 25). It provides you
with additional system data that can be useful when testing or trouble
shooting the system.
NMEA hardware test
On the Main PCB in the junction unit disconnect the cables and connect
TX1+ to RX1+ and TX1- to RX1-. Similar on the Power PCB connect the
NMEA ports the same way; TX2+ to RX2+ and TX2– to RX2– (not
available on J3000X).
Select the Loopback test menu(s) and verify that the hardware is OK. If not,
replace the corresponding PCB(s) to rectify.
