  First, check that the appropriate antenna is correctly plugged into the corresponding rear apron antenna (BNC) connector. Next, run the self-diagnostic tests and verify the receiver test result is “OK.” If it shows “FAILED,” the receiver PCB may be defective, and a qualified technician should check the wiring and replace the PCB if necessary. Ensure that you are within the service area covered by the ground wave of the desired station and check the broadcast schedule of the station. Finally, try replacing the active antenna unit and/or cabling.

  Check to be sure that the power source voltage is within the 11–36V range. If the issue continues, the CPU PCB may be defective. A qualified engineer should check the wiring and replace the PCB if necessary.

  Ensure that the RS–422 port is enabled (set to ON). Verify that the communications protocol of your application matches that of the RS–422 port. Check that the bit format and baud rate of your application match those of the RS–422 port parameters. Suspect that some of the internal connections to/from the connectors have become loosened or broken, and have a qualified engineer check for faulty wiring harness terminations. Run the self-diagnostic tests and check the results of the RAM and ROM tests.

  This suggests that both receivers have become misaligned. Have a qualified technician check the connections to/from the receiver PCBs and/or replace the PCBs. The CPU PCB may also be defective, or some of its internal connections may be faulty or broken; have a qualified technician check the related wiring and replace the PCB if necessary.

  First, ensure that the power source voltage is within the 11–36V range. Then, reset the system to the factory’s initial settings. If the issue persists, the CPU PCB or the Key PCB may be defective; run the self-diagnostic tests and check the results of the RAM and ROM tests.

  Verify that you are located within the service area covered by the ground wave of the desired station, which is normally 200 to 400 nautical miles during daytime hours. Also, check the broadcast schedule of the desired station.

  This indicates that the antenna circuit is likely defective. If using an active antenna, replace it with one known to be good. If a correct replacement antenna is unavailable, use approximately 5 meters of insulated wire as a temporary long wire antenna, placing it as high as possible. If the problem persists, have a qualified engineer check the antenna coupler/selector circuit inside the rear apron for faulty or broken connections.

  Ensure that the power source voltage is within the 11–36V range. Repeatedly press the button to see if the normal brightness returns. The LCD module or the inverter PCB may be defective, so have a qualified technician check the connections and replace the module and/or the PCB. The CPU PCB may also be defective, so have a qualified engineer check the connections and replace the PCB if necessary.

  First, verify that you are within the service area covered by the ground wave of the desired station. Run the self-diagnostic tests and check the receiver test results. If the result is “FAILED,” have a qualified technician check the wiring or replace the receiver PCB. Check for any recently installed electronic devices near the receiver or antenna, and if found, turn off or relocate them. Unplug the antenna cable from the BNC connector on the rear apron and check the voltage at the center conductor. The preamplifier in the active antenna unit may be failing, or water may have entered the cable; try replacing the amplifier unit and/or the cable.

  Check that the antenna cable is correctly plugged into the appropriate rear apron BNC connector receptacle. Also, verify that the connector (BNC) plug is properly installed onto the cable. Try replacing the active antenna. If the issue persists, check the voltage at the center conductor of each antenna connector. It should be 8V+ on the 490 and 518 kHz connectors and 12V+ on the 4209.5 kHz connector. If none of these steps work, have a qualified engineer check the connections to/from the CPU PCB and replace the PCB if needed.
