down to component level are not practical by users.
Advanced-level troubleshooting
Problem
Probable cause or
check points
Remedy
Power cannot be
turned on
1) Blown fuse.
2) Mains voltage/polarity
3) Power supply board
1) Replace blown fuse.
2) Correct wiring and input voltage.
3) Replace power supply board.
Brilliance adjusted
but no picture
1) SPU Board 1) Replace SPU board.
Antenna not rotating 1) Antenna drive mechanism 1) Replace antenna drive mechanism.
Data and marks not
displayed in Transmit
status
1) SPU board 1) Replace SPU board.
Adjust GAIN with A/C
SEA set at minimum.
Marks and indications
appear but no noise
or echo
1) Signal cable between
antenna and display unit
2) IF amplifier
3) Video amplifier board
1) Check continuity and isolation of coaxial
cable.
2) Replace IF amplifier.
3) Check coax line for secure connection. If
connection is good, replace SPU board.
Marks, indications
and noise appear but
no echo (Transmis-
sion leak repre-
senting own ship
position is absent)
1) Magnetron
2) Modulator board
3) SPU board
1) Check magnetron current.
2) Replace modulator board.
3) Replace SPU board.
Picture not updated
or picture freeze-up
1) Bearing signal generator
2) SPU board
3) Video freeze-up
1) Check that signal cables are fastened
securely.
2) Replace SPU board.
3) Turn the radar off and on.
Radar is properly
tuned but sensitivity is
poor
1) 2nd trace echo rejector is
ON.
2) Dirt on radiator face
3) Deteriorated magnetron
4) Detuned MIC
1) Turn off the 2nd-trace echo rejector, from
the Echo menu.
2) Clean radiator.
3) With the radar transmitting on 48 nm
range, check magnetron current. If cur-
rent is below normal, magnetron may be
defective. Replace the magnetron.
4) Check MIC detecting current. If it is below
normal value, MIC may have become
detuned.
Range changed but
radar picture does not
change
1) Defective range key
2) SPU board
3) Video freeze-up
1) Try to operate the RANGE key. If unsuc-
cessful, replacement of the keypad may
be necessary.
2) Replace SPU board.
