For the operation of the antenna system PACIFIC 4G it is important that the distribution box AV 205 is
connected to the power supply before (or as soon as) the receiver instruments connected to the AV 205 are
switched on; else faulty operation may occur (antenna alarm, incorrect calculation of position, etc.).
The
power supply to the antenna system need not be switched on for the operation of the VHF/DSC
marine telephone or the Mobile telephone.
Not all receivers are able to handle the antenna voltage from the DELTA 200S without producing
interference. Therefore the output level of the corresponding wideband output can be reduced by adjusting
the associated trimmer potentiometer counter-clockwise until the reception is clear again.
The antenna cables may
NEVER
be mixed up - otherwise the antenna DELTA 12 M and / or the
distribution box AV 112 will be destroyed!
To guarantee a perfect working antenna it is mandatory to do the installation in a workman-like
manner.
Any faults caused from neglecting these instructions are excluded from the manufacturer's warranty.
In case of doubt consult a specialist.
Installation of plug-in modules
Two plug-in modules can be inserted into the distribution box AV 205. For retrofitting of plug-in modules,
open the AV 205 case. The plug-in modules have 2 connection pins on one side and 3 pins on the other
side. Insert the plug-in module into the sockets of the AV 205 main board with the 3 pin end of the module at
the output side of the AV 205. Then close the AV 205 case and identify the association on top of the AV 205
cover using a waterproof marker.
Trouble shooting of antenna system PACIFIC 4G
1.
No function of the entire antenna system
1.1.
Check the power supply - voltage (12V to 28V) and polarity at the AV 112 and AV 205
1.2.
Check the association of the antenna cables to the antennas, especially at the disconnecting points
at the mastbottom.
2.
No function of instruments connected to the AV 205
2.1.
Check if the green indicator lamp of the AV 205 lights.
2.2.
Check both fuses inside the AV 205 (0.5 A medium blow; 5 × 20 mm and 0.16 A fast blow,
5 × 20 mm).
2.3.
Check the AV 205 supply voltage: 12V to 28V.
2.4.
Disconnect the antenna cable from the AV 205. Measure the output voltage at the antenna terminal
of the AV 205: 11.5V to 12.5 V.
2.5.
Check the AV 205 supply current:
- Without antenna connected and without plugin modules: 20 mA to 55 mA.
- With antenna connected, without plugin modules: 120 mA to 175 mA.
Additional supply current for plugin modules:
BBII: 80 mA +/- 2 mA
BBAM: 40 mA +/- 2 mA
Navtex: 35 mA +/- 10 mA
DGPS: 22 mA +/- 5 mA
2.6.
Measure the resistance of the antenna cable incl. antenna with an Ohmmeter: 15 Ohm to 100
Ohm.
2.7.
Output 1 or 2 not working: replace the plugin module for the particular output.
2.8.
If the instrument is connected to output 3 or 4 or to a plugin module BB at input 1 or 2, check if the
trimmer potentiometer associated with the output is turned on.
2.9.
Check the cable between AV 205 and the instrument for short circuit or break.
2.10.
If the instrument has several antenna inputs, assure that the correct antenna input is selected at
the instrument.
3.
No function of mobile telephone / router / modem
3.1.
Check if the ship is in the operation range of a base station of the mobile network - some mobile
networks have a range limited by system.
