Problem Identification
The first step in solving a problem with the translator is identifying the nature and location of the
problem. Since the translator consists of many different boards and modules, it is often difficult to
determine which part is causing the problem. The best method of isolating the problem is to divide
the booster into three discrete sections and determining if these sections are operating correctly.
The three sections are:
F
Power Supplies
F
Amplifier Modules
F
ALC and Control Circuits
«
First, check that all RF connections between the BTS-7010, cable feed, and antennas are
correct and secure.
Note the symptom(s) of the problem that is present, including the status of the LED indicators
located on the front panel. If the UNIT has no output, check that the operate/standby control ,
located on the LCD display, is set to operate. If the unit remains inoperable, check the LED
indicators on the front panels if the assemblies and verify that all indicators are lit. If an indicator is
found not to be lit, the fault is most likely to reside in the section associated with that indicator.
