8. FAULT DIAGNOSIS

 

 
The  Cove  Communications  Fibre  Optic  Video  Transmitters  can  only  be  fully  tested  in 
conjunction  with  a  known  working  Cove  Communcations  Fibre  Optic  Video  Receiver. 
However the LED indicators will give a guide as to its operation 
 
 

FAULT 

 

 

 

 

     POSSIBLE CAUSE

 

 
Green LED 'OFF'. 

 

 

     D.C. power not present at the circular D.C. connector. 

 

     Incorrect wiring of the circular D.C. connector (reverse           

 

     polarity connection may damage the unit). 

             D.C. voltage is too low. This should not be below +11v.  

 
Green LED 'ON' but                        No video signal connected to the unit. 
Yellow LED is 'OFF'   

 

     Video signal level is non standard or too low in level.
