Danger: if the voltage light is off, an over voltage condition
exists. DO NOT connect an IRD to this cable until this is
corrected.
The SWiM power inserter may be installed incorrectly or
another device is supplying voltage to the system.

Trouble Diagnosis for SWiM Meter:
There are several scenarios you will run into when using the SWiM meter.
(Light Error = Led light is not GREEN in color)
1. Voltage Light Error – Check to make sure Power Inserter SWiM power connector and IRD connector are not reversed.
2. LF Light Error + 5 or 8 ch good, problem with inline splitters. Low Pass not good enough.
3. LF Light Good + 5 ch error and 8 ch error, or 5 ch good, 8 ch error, problem with inline splitters. Low Pass
characteristics good enough but not rated to 2150MHz for 8 channel SWiM-ODU.
4. LF error + 5 and 8 ch error, bad cable run.
5. LF error + 5 and 8 ch error + Voltage error, check to make sure power inserter is properly powering the SWiM-ODU.
