1. Blown Fuse
With the system powered on, move the antenna reflector
slowly by hand. If the refl ector does not move freely, a fuse
is not the problem. If the refl ector does move freely, one of
the two fuses mounted on the CPU Board may have blown
or been broken. The CSA-10PA Technical Manual provides
detailed instructions for authorized service personnel who
may be required to replace a fuse. Contact your local CAMOS
dealer or service center for assistance.
2. Low Power
If the power cable to the antenna unit is more than 50ft(15
m), the power levels can decrease over the course of the
cable, resulting in a voltage or current level at the antenna
unit that is too low to power the system properly.
The CSA-10PA Technical Manual provides detailed instructions
for supplying adequate power to the antenna unit.
Contact your local CAMOS dealer or service center for
assistance.
3. Wiring
If the system has been improperly wired, it will not operate
correctly. The CSA-10PA Technical Manual provides detailed
instructions for authorized service personnel who may be
required to check the wiring. Contact your local CAMOS
dealer or service center for assistance.
4. Satellite Signal Blocked
Satellite signals can be blocked or degraded by buildings,
other vessels, or equipment on the vessel itself.
Simply moving the vessel or obstruction will clear the signal.
5. Satellite Coverage Issue
CSA-10PA will provide outstanding reception within the 18”
(46 cm) antenna coverage area for your satellite television
service of choice.
However, reception can be degraded as you approach the
fringe coverage areas.
Refer to your satellite television service manual to check the
viable coverage area for a18” (46 cm) antenna.
6. Radar Interference
The energy levels radiated by radar units can overload the
antenna’s front-end circuits. Check with your installer to make
certain that the CSA-10PA antenna unit is in the optimal
location with regard to your radar unit.
7. Satellite Frequency Data Changed
If some channels work while one or more other channels
do not, or if the antenna is unable to find the satellite, the
selected satellite’s frequency data may have changed.
This frequency data can be updated via the maintenance
port. Contact your local CAMOS dealer or service center for
assistance.
8. Incorrect or Loose RF Connectors
A loose RF connector can reduce the quality of the satellite
signal. Also, if you cannot switch satellites using your IRD
remote, your IRD may be connected to the wrong antenna
base plate connector. The CSA-10PA Technical Manual
provides instructions for authorized service personnel who
may need to check the RF connections. Contact your local
CAMOS dealer or service center for assistance.
Trouble Shooting
There are a number of common issues that can aff ect the signal reception quality or the operation of the CSA-10PA.
The following sections address these issues and potential solutions.
Blown Fuse, Low Power, or Wiring
If the antenna unit is installed but entirely non-responsive, there are three key factors to check as part of the
troubleshooting process:
