To Next PageTo Next PageWhy does my Standard Horizon QUANTUM AIS GX6000 Transceiver say “HI BATTERY” or “LO BATTERY”?
If your Standard Horizon Transceiver displays a “HI BATTERY” or “LO BATTERY” message when you turn it on, this indicates that the power supply voltage is either too high or too low. Verify that the connected power supply voltage is between 11 volts and 16.5 volts DC.
How to fix a Standard Horizon QUANTUM AIS GX6000 that fails to power up?
If your Standard Horizon Transceiver fails to power up, the issue might be due to no DC voltage reaching the unit or a blown fuse. First, check the 12VDC battery connections and the fuse. Also, ensure that you press and hold the power key to turn the radio on.
What to do if Standard Horizon QUANTUM AIS GX6000 Transceiver blows fuse?
If your Standard Horizon Transceiver blows a fuse when connected to the power supply, the power wires may be reversed. Check the power cable for DC voltage and replace the fuse (7A). Ensure the red wire connects to the positive (+) battery post and the black wire to the negative (–) battery post.
Why does my Standard Horizon QUANTUM AIS GX6000 Transceiver have low transmit power?
If a receiving station reports low transmit power from your Standard Horizon Transceiver, even when it's set to HI power, the antenna might be the problem. Have the antenna checked, or test the transceiver with another antenna.
Why is my position not displayed on my Standard Horizon QUANTUM AIS GX6000 Transceiver?
If your position is not displayed on the Standard Horizon Transceiver, check the SCU-31 cable connection and the accessory cable connection. Some GPS units use the battery ground for NMEA connection. Also, check the output signal format of the GPS navigation receiver. This radio requires NMEA 0183 and NMEA 2000 format with GLL, RMB, or RMC sentence as an output signal. If the GPS has a baud rate setting make sure to select 4800 and parity to NONE.
How to stop popping noise in Standard Horizon QUANTUM AIS GX6000 speaker?
If you hear a popping or whining noise from the speaker of your Standard Horizon Transceiver while the engine runs, it could be engine noise. Try re-routing 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 from speaker?
If sound is not emitted from the internal or external speaker of your Standard Horizon Transceiver, check the connections of the accessory cable. The external speaker cable (WHITE/SHIELD) may be shorted together.
Why is there no sound from the PA speaker on my Standard Horizon Transceiver?
If sound is not emitted from the PA speaker of your Standard Horizon Transceiver, check the connections of the accessory cable. The PA speaker cable (RED/SHIELD) may be shorted together.
