5–5Troubleshooting
If one of the LED fault indicators is illuminated red, troubleshoot using the follow-
ing suggestions:
5.3 Fault Indicators
5.3.1 Antenna
Antenna mismatch.
❑ Effects from inclement weather conditions such as icing.
❑ Check for moisture in the feedline.
❑ Secure antenna connections.
5.3.2 RF Drive
Denotes lack of or insufficient drive level.
❑ Ensure proper drive level of 25–30 watts input power.
❑ Check RF input cable for secure connection.
5.3.3 PA Temp
Temperature has reached the internal preset limit for safe operation (75°C).
❑ Ambient temperature higher than 50°C; reduce temperature.
❑ Restricted air flow; remove any obstructions, clean dirty air filters by using
mild detergent and warm water.
❑ Antenna mismatch; check for icing, moisture on the feedline, and secure
antenna connections.
❑ Overcurrent; check PA DC fault indicator, if flashing monitor current for
proper levels (total and individual Power Amps).
❑ Faulty DC Output Board; replace (see Section 7, Service & Support).
❑ Faulty or non-functioning cooling fan; determine the cause for malfunction
in the following section.
5.3.3.1 Potential Causes for Non-functioning Cooling Fans
The PA1000 has one and the PS1000 has two cooling fans each. All three fans are
powered by the same circuit of the PS1000. There are two potential causes for a
non-functioning fan or fans:
1. If a single fan does not operate, the fan is faulty and must be replaced. (See
Section 7, Service & Support.)
2. If none of the fans operate, a blown circuit breaker, a short circuit in the
PS1000, or a damaged winding on the main transformer of the DC Output
Board (in the PS1000) is the cause. In this case, do one of the following:
