15.1 Trouble Shooting the PDR
If installed according to [ 1 ] and chapter 4 in this description together with system specific
documents, the radio system shall work satisfactory. However, if problems should occur, check the
following:
PDR unit:
•
Is the power LED lit (green) on the PDR?
•
Is the power LED flashing? This indicates that supply voltage is to low. Measure the voltage
both in receiving and transmitting mode.
•
Is the CM (Configuration Mode) LED lit (yellow)? Please exit configuration mode.
•
Is the configuration correct? Serial interface, System ID, RTU addresses etc?
•
Is any disturbing equipment [ 1 ] installed nearby the radio?
•
That the programming adapter is not connected during normal operation.
•
That all earth connections are correctly grounded.
Antenna:
•
That the antenna, cable and connectors are correctly mounted.
•
That there is not a short-circuit between the shield and braid.
•
Is the SWR (Standing Wave Ratio) correct?
Communication:
•
Can the PDR perform a Communication Test or a Radio Link Test?
•
How is the RSSI-value, compared to earlier? Try to adjust the antenna direction to achieve a
better RSSI-value.
•
How is the result from the Bit Error Rate Test?
•
Has the PDR been moved from its original place?
•
External circumstance e.g. has new houses or the like been built?
•
That the radio units are correctly programmed as in chapter 5. Check identities and repeater
paths in both master and slave units.
Serial communication:
•
Does the RS-232 TX or RX LED get lit when communicating with the connected device?
•
Is the correct type of cable is used to the RS323 interface according to chapter 4.
