ADAT-4 Troubleshooting
The table below lists ADAT-4 problems and solutions.
Problem Procedure
No output. • Check Power by Green LED.
Outputs are all
silent.
• Check Input ERROR LED.
• Verify that the source is not silent.
Input ERROR.
• Unplug the fiber cable and check for visible red light (this is not harmful).
• If no light, unplug the cable from the source and check for visible red light
from the transmitter.
• Check for possible break in the fiber.
NOTE
Please contact the GPS factory if the problem still exists after completing the
above procedures.
