7.3 Troubleshooting The RF

RF Error Codes

The terminal monitors the status of the outdoor transceiver unit and reports any fault

conditions in the system logs.

Table 32 lists the general fault conditions are reported by the system event log.

Table 32: RF Errors

Error Type Description

AN-30e PLL

Error

The PLL (Phase Locked Loop) section within the terminal

experienced an error. The System Fault LED may light. Try

resetting the terminal.

Communication

Error Over IF

Cable

Communication between the terminal and the transceiver failed.

Check the IF cable and connectors.

Radio High

Temp. Warning

The transceivers internal temperature rose above 185F / 85C. The

transceiver shuts down for thirty seconds to allow cooling time.

Radio Power

Supply Fault

Displays a fault in the transceivers power supply. This error could

be due to a problem with the internal power supply, or with the

power source from the terminal. If the Low DC Voltage At Radio

error is also indicated, (see below) check the IF cable and

connectors. If the Low DC Voltage At Radio error is not indicated,

the transceiver requires servicing.

Low DC Voltage

At Radio Input

The DC voltage at the transceiver (carried by the IF cable from the

terminal) is lower than the required 24 VDC. Check the IF cable

and connectors. The minimum required voltage for operation is 12

VDC.

See Table 33: RF Status Error Codes for a list of the thirty-two possible error codes.
