Troubleshooting
Problem
Action
Fails to power up
1 Check that the power lead is firmly plugged into the “POWER” socket & into the
cigar lighter.
2 Check the internal fuse in the power cable. Replace the internal fuse with the
spare one.
3 High temperature caused by direct sunlight can affect the normal operation of the
Novus Delta Plus (extremes of heat of greater than 85°C must be avoided).
No audible signal
1 Check the volume level.
2 Check the GPS signal.
Does not acquire GPS signal
1 Check the power lead.
2 Novus Delta Plus does not have a clear view of the sky*
3 If driving without a clear view of the sky for a long period and the Novus Delta Plus
does not appear to operate normally, then, when next in a clear view remove and
re-apply power.
4 Long tunnels, tall buildings, bridges or overhanging trees may cut out the
GPS signal.
5 UV filtered windscreen. Some cars are fitted with UV filters on the windscreen,
some times called Climate Comfort or Athermic windscreens.
These windscreens also block GPS signals. It is quite easy to test for this. Simply
hold the Novus Delta Plus outside the car when stationary, or have your passenger
do this in motion, and the Novus Delta Plus will shortly acquire sufficient satellites.
When sufficient satellites are acquired the colon in between the hours and minutes
will begin to flash, or the speed will be indicated if in motion. If your vehicle is fitted
with a UV filtered windscreen on just the front screen then GPS signals will be
accessed through the side windows. If your vehicle is fitted with UV filtered screens
all round then an external antenna will need to be fitted to the Novus Delta Plus in
the socket provided.
Incorrect operation
1 In a GPS shadow area.
2 Have not updated the Novus Delta Plus with the latest database information.
3 Check that the mode select switch is select to either CAM or NORMAL.
