Troubleshooting - Module SYNEX
Internal adjustment “Adjust Synthesis”
A comprehensive test of the module is to run the internal adjustment.
Error Error correction
Internal adjustment “Adjust Synthesis”
aborts at SSYN Adjustments.
Check performance and cabling of REF100 signal
If alright, first troubleshoot module SSYN.

Error messages concerning the module SYNEX
Error message Error correction
"Synthesis-extension: OCXO 10 MHz oven
cold"
If this message doesn’t vanish after 10 minutes,
OCXO is defective, change the module.
"Synchronization error on external
reference"
"Synthesis-extension: Reference PLL
unlocked"
Check for correct External Reference Frequency
setting and corresponding input signal.
If input signal and frequency settings are correct and
error message is displayed anyhow, change the
module.
"Synthesis-extension: fm-loop PLL
unlocked"
Check for correct input signals from SSYN
If input signals are correct and error message is
displayed anyhow, change the module.
