1.
Is the
power
LED
(located
near big
orange
capacitor)
on?
2.
Is white relay
clicking on
upon
initialization?
3.
Is RF LED (light
by itself across
from power LED)
on? (10 sec.
when 1st turned
on in correlation
with function
switch
operation)
4.
Are the
output LED's
(row of lights)
operating
according
to their
respective
outputs?
5.
Do the
outputs have
voltage when
operating their
respective
functions?
6.
Do you have
acceptable
range?
7.
Are
solenoids
activating
when
operating
respective
function?
If other
problems
persist,
call for a
RGA #.

Are
transmitter and
receiver address
codes
matched?
(12-position DIP
switch)
2A.
Is RF LED on
upon
initialization?
No
•Match
switches
•Check voltage into
receiver from source
•Check 15Amp fuse
•LED possibly inoperative
•Function switch inoperative
– check Tx faceplate for
loose wires or bad
connections
•Possible failure in:
– pump-up circuit
– driver circuit
– relay not transferring voltage
•Call for a RGA #
•Likely problem on vehicle
– check for loose connections
– check for bad solenoid
– check for ground at solenoid
•Antenna possibly bad
•Problem in RF section
•Battery low in transmitter
•Receiver antenna positioned
less than 2ft. from vertical
metal or shielded by external surface
•If problem persists, call for a RGA
•Possible microprocessor failure
•If ashing or intermittent, check for:
– constant input voltage
– ashing RF LED
– antenna placement
•If problem persists, call for a RGA #
•Ensure transmitter is transmitting:
– check battery
– check antenna on Rx and Tx
– tune a manually tuned radio to
99.2 FM, depress toggle switch
and listen for distinct-patterned
sound other than static
•Problem likely in RF section
– call for a RGA #
•Switch all address codes to lows
and re-initialize transmitter (turn off
and back on)
•Reset address codes to original
settings and test
•If problem persists, call for a RGA #
