Installation manual
You do not need to move the rig in order to calibrate the compass. Also, the compass will learn over 
time to become more accurate. 
When you save this setting, the dish will perform a compass calibration, which will move the dish and 
take couple of minutes. The dish will not stow after it performs a calibration.

0  The Transmitter is not connected 
to the receiver 
This is an older code for a DW4000 or DW4020 system. 
1 
The transmitter has been 
disabled by the Network 
Operations Center 
This condition occurs when the transmitter is not enabled. A transmitter may 
be disabled for short periods of time by the NOC for service or 
troubleshooting. It may also be disabled if the user discontinues the satellite 
service. If this condition persists, it can only be corrected by requesting that 
the unit be enabled. 
2 
The transmitter has been 
placed in test mode by the 
Network Operations Center 
This status requires no user action and this test usually completes in 15 
minutes or less. This condition occurs when the NOC places the transmitter 
into special transmission modes to measure the performance of the 
transmitter. When in this mode, the unit is unable to transmit normal user 
data to the NOC. 
3 
The transmitter is locking to 
the receive carrier 
This condition occurs during initial startup or when the receiver is locking to 
the receive signal. It is normal for this condition to persist for up to 10 
seconds. If this condition persists for more than 10 seconds, try 
disconnecting and reconnecting the receiver coaxial cable and wait 10 
seconds. If the situation still persists, then the Indoor Transmit Unit may 
need to be replaced. 
4 
The transmitter is not 
responding to commands 
sent from the receiver 
This condition indicates that something is not operating properly in the 
Receive/Transmit Unit configuration. Perform the following actions to 
attempt to recover from this condition: 
• Verify that the Indoor Receive and Transmit Units are securely connected 
with a 25-pin parallel cable. 
• Reset the IRU by unplugging the IRU power cord from the wall socket and 
then plugging the power cord back into the wall socket. This will reset the 
Indoor Receive and Transmit Units. This condition could also be caused if 
the power supply is faulty. If this condition cannot be resolved by following 
the steps listed above, then you may need to replace the power supply, the 
Receive/Transmit unit cable and/or the Transmit Unit. 
5 
The transmitter is not locked to 
the network timing 
No action is necessary if this condition occurs from time to time and quickly 
resolves itself. If this issue persists, it is likely due to a NOC-related service 
issue. The condition may also be due to Indoor Transmit Unit failure; in rare 
cases, the Transmit unit may fail and may have to be replaced. 
6 
The transmitter is not available 
because the receiver is not 
detecting a signal or is not 
locked to the correct network
Check your receive signal. This condition occurs when the Indoor Receive 
Unit is not receiving a good signal. The receiver must be locked to the 
correct network in order for the transmitter to operate. If your receiver is not 
locked (no signal) or is locked to the wrong network, the transmitter is 
unable to transmit data. Please verify that you have a good signal strength 
by going to the Receive Statistics page. This could also be caused by 
inclement weather. 
7 
The transmitter is not available 
because the satellite receiver 
is not tuned for normal 
This condition occurs when the transmitter is disabled for safety reasons. If 
this happens during installation or commissioning, the installer will close the 
Antenna Pointing program and resolve the condition.
