HIGAIN FAULT ISOLATION

Solutions for common problems that may occur with the HDU-409 are listed in Table 9.

not light

2 Verify proper cabling between the doubler enclosure and the CO.

 

 

3 Measure 100 to 200 Vdc between pins 5 or 6 and 8 or 9. This voltage

 

peaks every 15 to 30 seconds as the HLU cycles between self test and

 

line power. If less than 100 Vdc is present, check the cabling or the HLU.

 

Only the line units mentioned in the “Applications” section can be used

 

to power doublers (see Table 3 on page 6). Other HLU models may not

 

provide reliable operation and should not be used.
