To Next PageTo Next PageWhy does my Standard Horizon Transceiver say “HI BATTERY” or “LOW BATTERY”?
If the Standard Horizon Transceiver displays “HI BATTERY” or “LOW BATTERY” when powered on, it indicates that the power supply voltage is either too high or too low. Ensure the connected power supply voltage is neither 24 volts nor lower than 9 volts. Also, verify that the generator is functioning correctly.
How to fix a Standard Horizon Transceiver that fails to power up?
If your Standard Horizon Transceiver fails to power up, it could be due to no DC voltage reaching the unit or a blown fuse. First, press and hold the Power switch/Volume control knob until the transceiver turns on. Then, check the power cable for DC voltage and replace the fuse (6A 250V) if necessary.
What to do if Standard Horizon Transceiver blows fuse?
If the Standard Horizon Transceiver blows a fuse when connected to the power supply, it is likely due to reversed power wires. Ensure that the red wire is connected to the positive battery post and the black wire to the negative post. If the fuse continues to blow after correcting the wiring, contact your SCC Dealer.
Why is my Standard Horizon Transceiver transmit power low?
If receiving stations report low transmit power from your Standard Horizon Transceiver, even when set to HI power, the issue is likely with the antenna. Have the antenna checked, or test the transceiver with an alternate antenna. If the problem persists, contact your SCC Dealer for servicing.
What to do if external speaker not working on Standard Horizon Transceiver?
If you are not getting sound from the external speaker connected to your Standard Horizon Transceiver, check the polarity of the connected external cable.
How to stop popping noise from Standard Horizon Transceiver speaker?
If you hear a popping or whining noise from the speaker of your Standard Horizon Transceiver while the engine is running, this is likely due to engine noise. Try the following: 1. Reroute the DC power cables away from the engine. 2. Add a noise suppressor on the power cable. 3. Change to resistive spark plug wires and/or add an alternator whine filter.
Why is my position not displayed on Standard Horizon Transceiver?
If your position is not displayed on the Standard Horizon Transceiver, there are two possible causes: * **External Cable:** Check the polarity of the connected external cable. Some GPS units use the battery ground line for NMEA connection. * **GPS Navigation Receiver Settings:** Verify the output signal format of the GPS navigation receiver. This radio requires NMEA0183 format with GLL sentence as an output signal. If the GPS has a baud rate setting, ensure it is set to 4800 and parity to NONE.
