Any hardware malfunction
GENERAL
DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE
PWB substitution is a valid technique for service and repair of the ORION product, since there are only a few circuit boards in the product:
1.RF Power Amplifier
2.Logic/IF/Audio
3.Synthesizer/Exciter/RX Front End
4.Control Unit Panel Control
5.Control Unit Switching
6.Control Unit RIA (Remote Only)
7.DSP (AEGIS Only)
The service shop should be equipped with a set of the above PWB's which can be used for substitution. Defective PWB's can be isolated simply by substituting one at a time. It is recommended that the Logic PWB used for substitution be
ERROR CODES
This section lists all the ORION radio errors and warnings. Each error code in the list includes an explanation of what went wrong and what action to take to correct the problem. The error codes are divided into three different categories:
1.Fatal Operational Error Codes - These are errors that are displayed during the radio normal operation or on the radio
2.
3.Radio Programming Errors - These are errors that are displayed on the radio or the programming PC display during radio programming.
All System Groups ORION
System Errors
Fatal system errors will cause the radio to display an error message/code and then reset the radio to its starting operation. The reset condition will remain until the fatal error(s) is corrected.
The errors are displayed on the radio as shown in Figure 6.
