LEVEL TROUBLESHOOTING.
This chapter can help you rapidly resolve minor problems which do not require the intervention of
a specialist. Before contacting technical support, please check the troubleshooting table below.
Problem
Possible causes and solutions
The listening apparatus does not display the data from the
NMEA output interface.
The bus cable is not or is badly connected to the terminal box : check the
plugging and the connection inside the terminal box. Check the state of
the cables : they must not show any sign of wear or cut.
The listening apparatus is not properly setup: NMEA 4800 bauds, 8 bits
of data, 1 stop bit.
Check that the NMEA frames transmitted by the NMEA output interface
are compatible with the listening apparatus.
You can check the frames using a PC with the NMEA output interface
connected to a COM port and Windows HyperTerminal program (Start
menu/All programs/Accessories/Communications/HyperTerminal). Port
parameters: 4800 bits per second, 8 bits of data, no parity, 1 stop bit, no
flow control.
If you do not manage to solve the problem, please contact your distributor.
