.  

If the video source providing a video

to the display devices 

(monitors or projectors) using coaxial 
cables.

Step 4.

The images on the outputs of the 

DA1804NT

should be equivalent to the 

input source signal. 

Step 5.

TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE

8

We have carefully tested and found no problems in 
the supplied 

DA1804NT

; however, we would like to 

offer suggestions for the following:

8.1  POWER LED IS NOT ON

The  Power/Signal Present LED should be on 
and red when power is applied with no input 
signal.

Cause 1:

There is no AC power.

Solution:

Only use the external adapter 
supplied with the 

DA1804NT

. Verify 

the adapter is plugged into a 
working AC outlet and that the outlet 
has power.

Cause 2:

The adapter is not plugged into 
the DA1804NT.

Solution:

Verify the DC power plug coming 
from the AC adapter is plugged all 
the way into the 

DA1804NT

.

Cause 3:

The FPI100HR has a problem.

Solution:

If there is AC power to the adapter 
and the LED still does not turn on, 
the 

DA1804NT

or the power adapter 

may require service. Please call 
ALTINEX at (714) 990-2300.

8.2  LED IS NOT GREEN

The Power/Signal Present LED should be on 
and red when power is applied, but then turn
green when receiving a video signal.

Cause 1:

There is no power.

Solution:

If the  LED is on and red indicating 
power is present, reconnect the 
computer's video output. If the LED 
is still not green, see Cause 2.

Cause 2:

There is no sync signal.

Solution:

Verify the computer output is 
operating correctly by connecting it 
directly to the local monitor. If the 
display is good, call ALTINEX at 
(714) 990-2300.
