Troubleshooting

Overview

The following information is provided to help diagnose suspected problems with the TM-1 Tilt Module.

Note:

Read and follow the instructions in the following sections carefully before contacting customer 
support. There are no user serviceable parts within the TM-1 Tilt Module. Verified hardware issues 
with the TM-1 will require returning the unit to Raven Industries for repair.

Bypassing the TM-1

If an issue is experienced with the TM-1 in operation, bypass the Tilt Module by removing the DB-9 serial cable 
connectors from the ‘GPS IN’ and ‘GPS OUT’ ports on the TM-1 and connecting these two connectors 
together. If the problem persists, the TM-1 is operating correctly.
