Troubleshooting
LED is Red
A red LED indicates only that a fault (or alarm) has occurred and does not necessarily
indicate that reception has stopped. A flashing red light indicates a minor alarm and a
solid red light indicates a major alarm. You can communicate with the Rx 1+1 system
to determine what is causing the fault, and then clear the fault condition.
1. Establish communication with the Rx 1+1 system by using any of the M&C inter-
faces.
2. View the Alarm tab (shown on page E-8 ) to determine the current alarm.
3. View the Sensor tab (shown on page E-11 ) to determine which sensor reading
caused the alarm.
4. Compare your readings to the thresholds.
5. Adjust the threshold level to bring the reading within specifications and thus clear
the fault.
When the fault is cleared, the LED should be flashing green.
