Antenna

Symptom

Possible Solutions/Reasons

GPS ANTENNA

Poor or no GPS signal while using the
AN150 antenna.

If 5.5 VDC low or missing with load con-
nected:

If 5.5 VDC low is missing with load discon-
nected:

If 5.5 VDC is present:

•

Turn off any onboard transmitting
devices.

•

Check for 5.5 VDC at antenna with
and without antenna load connected.

•

Check for 5.5 VDC at 961 processor
BNC connector (1710 board).

•

It indicates a bad connector installa-
tion, bad 1710 board, or bad AN150
antenna.

•

It indicates a bad 1710 board.
Replace the 1710 board.

•

It indicates a bad AN150. Replace the
AN150.

DGPS ANTENNA

No GPS or DGPS

•

Bad splitter configuration.

•

Splitter cables may be reversed for
GPS and DGPS output.

DGPS ANTENNA
(cont’d)

Poor or no GPS signal while using the
AN205-P antenna with splitter:

If 7.75 VDC is low or missing with load con-
nected:

If 7.75 VDC is low or missing with load dis-
connected:

If 7.75 VDC is present at processor UHF
connector but not at antenna:

•

Check installation for correct cabling.

•

Check for 7.75 VDC at antenna with
and without antenna load (cables and
splitter) connected.

(Use “T” connec-

tors to measure VDC under load.)

•

Check for 7.75 VDC at 961 processor
UHF connector.

•

It indicates a bad connector installa-
tion, bad 1710 board, bad AN2

. The

load is too great or the 1710 board is
defective.

•

It indicates a bad 1710 board.

•

It indicates bad cabling, bad connec-
tors, or a bad splitter.
