  If the ITU (blue) LED on your iXBlue Sonar does not light up, here are a few potential causes and solutions: * The ITU main switch may be turned off. Ensure that the ITU main switch is turned on. * The BFU may be off. Power on the BFU. * The control-command cable may not be correctly plugged in or wired. If it's a new cable, verify its pinout. If the cable was previously working, check its connections at both the ITU and BFU, and ensure its integrity by checking for a +12VDC voltage between pin 9 and pin 1. * The ITU internal AC/DC power supply may be faulty. In this case, contact iXblue Support.

To check this, from the SeapiX menu, click on the Service Information item. If no connections lines show up, then there is a BFU-VPU connection problem. * The Ethernet link between VPU and BFU might be broken. To resolve this: 1. Ensure the BFU is powered on. 2. Verify that the BFU LAN board is connected to the VPU and is blinking. 3. Check the Ethernet cable connecting the VPU and BFU. 4. Try resetting the BFU. * The BFU system might have encountered a fatal error. Try resetting the BFU. If it continues not to work, connect a screen to the rear of the BFU to monitor for errors and statu...
