If your Standard Horizon Transceiver displays a “HI BATTERY” or “LO BATTERY” message, it means the power supply voltage is either too high (over 17 volts) or too low (below 10 volts). Make sure the connected power supply voltage is within the appropriate range and that the generator is working correctly.
How to fix a Standard Horizon Eclipes DSC GX1000S Transceiver that fails to power up?
If your Standard Horizon Transceiver fails to power up, the issue could be due to no DC voltage reaching the transceiver or a blown fuse. First, check the 12VDC battery connections and the fuse. Also, ensure that the VOL knob is rotated clockwise to turn the radio on.
What to do if Standard Horizon Eclipes DSC GX1000S blows fuse?
If your Standard Horizon Transceiver blows a fuse when connected to the power supply, it might be due to reversed power wires. Check the power cable for DC voltage and replace the fuse (6A 250V). Ensure the red wire is connected to the positive (+) battery post and the black wire to the negative (-) post. If the fuse continues to blow, contact your Dealer.
Why is the transmit power low on my Standard Horizon Eclipes DSC GX1000S Transceiver?
If you are receiving reports of low transmit power from your Standard Horizon Transceiver, even when set to HI power, the antenna may be the cause. Have the antenna checked, or test the transceiver with an alternative antenna. If the problem persists, contact your Dealer for servicing.
How to eliminate engine noise from Standard Horizon Transceiver speaker?
If you hear popping or whining noises from the speaker of your Standard Horizon Transceiver while the engine is running, it's likely due to engine noise. Try rerouting the DC power cables away from the engine. You can also add a noise suppressor on the power cable, change to resistive spark plug wires, and/or add an alternator whine filter.
What to do if Standard Horizon Transceiver has no sound?
If no sound is emitted from the internal or external speaker of your Standard Horizon Transceiver, inspect the accessory cable connections. There might be a short circuit on the external speaker cable (WHITE/SHIELD).
Why is my position not displayed on my Standard Horizon Eclipes DSC GX1000S Transceiver?
To resolve the issue of your position not being displayed on your Standard Horizon Transceiver, check the accessory cable connection. Also, verify the output signal format of the GPS navigation receiver. The radio requires NMEA0183 format with GLL, RMB, GGA, or GNS sentence as an output signal. If the GPS has a baud rate setting, set it to 4800 and parity to NONE.
