ERROR MESSAGES & RECOVERY
MINOR ERROR MESSAGES – FIELD REPAIRABLE
• COMPASS ERROR – Not seeing the compass, follow the manual compass procedure
• Stuck on GPS – Not detecting any GPS satellite – Follow the manual GPS procedure
•POWER UP PLEASE WAIT – No communications between the ACU and antenna. Check Interconnection cable from
modem to antenna controller
•NO REF SAT FOUND – Antenna can’t find a reference satellite. Verify the antenna hs clear exposure to the southern sky
•NO XPONDER SIGNAL – Antenna can’t find the data satellite. Verify the antenna has clear exposure to the southern sky
•BASE ANGLE LIMIT – Antenna base angle exceeds 8
o
. Level the antenna.
•BASET TILT ERROR – Antenna has moved after being deployed. Start a reacquisition
•SAT ERROR – No satellite information is programmed into the antenna. Reprogram satellite data.
MAJOR ERROR MESSAGES – POTENTIAL RECOVERY
•AZ MAJOR OT – Antenna has been driven beyond the azimuth electrical limit. Error may be recoverable by stowing
several times.
•AZ OVER TRAVEL – Antenna has reached the electrical limit. Error may be recoverable by stowing several times.
•PL MAJOR OT – Antenna has been driven beyond the polarization electrical limit. Error may be recoverable by stowing
several times.
•PL OVER TRAVEL – Antenna has reached the electrical limit. Error may be recoverable by stowing several times.
•EL OVER TRAVEL – Antenna has reached the electrical limit. Error may be recoverable by stowing several times.
MAJOR ERROR MESSAGES – FATAL ERRORS
Check antenna for movement blockage from trees, wifi masts, etc.
•POWER UP PLEASE WAIT – No communications between the ACU and the antenna.
a) circuit board failure b) control cable failure
•AZ FAULT – Not detecting any azimuth motor movement a) Motor Failure b) circuit board failure
•PL FAULT – Not detecting any polarization motor movement a) Motor Failure b) circuit board failure
•EL LOW LIMIT – Antenna is reporting low elevation fault a) bad sensor b) improper jogging
•EL FAULT – Not detecting any elevation motor movement a) Motor Failure b) circuit board failure
