Error Code

Error Index

Satellite information is not acceptable (satellite longitude

or current antenna latitude, longitude information)

DVB Tuner Error

Searching Fail

PCU DSP EEPROM reading or writing error

Roll acceleration sensor not in valid range

Pitch acceleration sensor not in valid range

Roll gyro scope not in valid range

Pitch gyro scope not in valid range

yaw gyro scope not in valid range

Ship Rotate over 50degree during initialization

Elevation Min Limit Switch error during initialize

Skew Max Limit Switch error during initialize

Skew Min Limit Switch error during initialize

Azimuth Max Limit Switch error during initialize

Azimuth Min Limit Switch error during initialize

System has restarted

A tuner I2C bus failure has occurred.

The LNB polarity voltage is not within the LNB polarity

range. This could indicate that the LNB voltage is not

switching or that the LNB voltage is shorted

The LNB signal level is below a valid range. This could

indicate no LNB connected
