TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE 8

We have carefully tested and have found no problems in the supplied MT110-103; however, we would like to offer suggestions for the following:

8.1 LED IS NOT LIT

Cause 1: Card cage is not plugged in.

Solution: Plug card cage in. If the LED lights, the problem is solved. If the LED is still not on, see Cause 2.

Cause 2: Card is not plugged in all the way.

Solution: Push the card in all the way. If the LED is still not on, see Cause 3.

Cause 3: Card cage slot has a problem.

Solution 1: Test the card in other slots of the card cage. If the slot was damaged, the card may work in other slots. If other slots work and the LED lights, the problem is the card cage slot. The card cage may require service. Call ALTINEX at (714) 990-2300. If the other slots do not work and the LED is still not lit, see Solution 2.

Solution 2: Take any other known good card with an LED and verify that the slot used is good by seeing if the other card’s LED lights in that slot. If it lights, then the original card may be the source of the problem. Call ALTINEX at (714) 990-2300.

8.2. NO SOUND

Cause 1: The source has a problem.

Solution: Check the source and make sure that it is working at an appropriate volume level and all source connections are correct. If the source is working and there is still no sound, see Cause 2.

Cause 2: The proper input card may not be selected.

Solution: Select the card input that is used, by RS-232 accessible commands in section 7. If no sound is present, see Cause 3.

Cause 3: Cable	connections	to	the
destination are incorrect.

Solution: Make sure that cables are connected properly. Also, make sure that the continuity and wiring are good. If there is still no sound present, see Cause 4.

Cause 4: The destination amplifier has a problem.

Solution 1: Make sure that the destination amplifier is powered. If there is still no sound, see Solution 2

Solution 2: Set the volume of the destination amplifier to a reasonable level. If there is still no sound, call ALTINEX at (714) 990-2300.

8.3. DISTORTED SOUND

Cause 1: The source level is above 1Vp-p

Solution: Make sure that the source level is below 1V p-p. If the sound is still distorted, see Cause 2.

Cause 2: The destination amplifier provides excessive amplification.

Solution 1: Make sure that the source signal level is high enough so that the destination amplifier does not have to provide excessive amplification and thereby distort the signal. If there is still sound distortion, see Solution 2.

Solution 2: Call ALTINEX at (714) 990-2300.
