11TROUBLESHOOTING
NOTES
Please note that if the output signal is disturbed or interrupted by very strong external electromagnetic interference, it should return and stabilize when such interference ends. If not, turn the power switch off and on again to reset the machine.
If the following recommended actions do not result in satisfactory operation, please consult your KRAMER Dealer.
11.1Power and Indicators
Problem |
| Remedy |
|
|
|
No Power | 1. | Confirm that power connections are secured at the machine and at the |
| ||
|
| receptacle. Make sure the receptacle is active, outputting the proper voltage. |
| 2. | If there is still no power use a Philips screwdriver to remove screws on both |
|
| sides of the machine and release the panel. |
| 3. | Locate fuse inside your machine. Confirm that the fuse is good by looking |
|
| for the wire connected between the ends of the fuse. If this wire is broken, |
|
| replace fuse with another, with the same rating. |
| 4. | Install cover and tighten the Philips screws. |
11.2 Video Signal
Problem |
| Remedy | ||
|
|
|
| |
No video at the output | 5. Confirm that your source and output devices are turned on and connected | |||
device | properly. The input of your machine should be of an identical signal format to | |||
| the output of your source. Signals at the output of your machine should be of | |||
| an identical signal format as at the input of your display. | |||
| 6. Confirm that any other device in the signal path have the proper input and/or | |||
| output selected. | |||
| 7. Use the Video Tester to test the video path leading to/from your machine (see | |||
| section 4.1"Video Tester") | |||
Video level is too high or | 8. Verify that the lines are well matched through 75ohm impedances. | |||
too dim. | 9. Confirm that the connecting cables are of high quality and properly inserted. | |||
| 10. Check level controls located on your source input device or output display. | |||
Noise bars are "rolling" | Hum bars (ground loop) are caused by a difference in the ground potential of any | |||
two or more devices connected to your signal path. This difference is | ||||
up or down in the output | ||||
compensated by passing that voltage difference through any available | ||||
image | ||||
interconnection, including your video cables. | ||||
or: | ||||
|
|
| ||
| WARNING! |
| ||
Low Frequency Hum in |
|
| ||
Do not disconnect the ground from any piece of | ||||
the output signal | ||||
video equipment in your signal path! | ||||
| ||||
| Check the following to remove hum bars: | |||
| 1. Confirm that all interconnected equipment is connected to the same phase | |||
| of power, if possible. | |||
| 2. Remove equipment connected to that phase that may introduce noise, such | |||
| as motors, generators, etc. | |||
| 3. Disconnect all interconnect cables and reconnect them one at a time until | |||
| ground loop reappears. Disconnect the affected cable and replace, or insert | |||
| an isolation transformer in the signal path. |
