11 TROUBLESHOOTING

Troubleshooting a malfunctioning UX8800 consists primarily of determining if it is incorrect settings, faulty or incorrect connections, or an electronic failure requiring service. This table lists some possible trouble symptoms, causes, and corrective actions.

Symptom

Probable Cause

Corrective Action

 

 

 

No power light

Power cord disconnected

Ensure the power cord is properly connected at both ends and that the ac mains is working.

 

 

 

No power light

Rear panel power switch is off

Turn the power switch on.

 

 

 

No power light

Improper ac mains voltage

The UX8800 is deigned for an ac mains voltage between 100 V and 240 V, 50 Hz to 60 Hz. If outside

 

 

these ranges, the UX8800 may fail to operate or become damaged.

that is part of the rear panel ac mains connector.Check the fuse located on the right hand side. If the

 

 

fuse is blown but glass remains essentially clear, this can indicate a faulty fuse or temporary external

 

 

event, such as an excessive ac mains voltage spike. Replace the fuse with the supplied spare

 

 

replacement fuse located on the left side of the drawer. If the fuse blows again, it indicates an

 

 

internal failure and the UX8800 should be repaired by qualified service personnel.

drawer that is part of the rear panel ac mains connector.Check the fuse located on the right hand

 

 

side. If the fuse is blown and the glass is heavily blackened, this usually indicates an internal

 

 

failure. Do not replace the fuse. The UX8800 should be repaired by qualified service personnel.

 

 

 

No input meter lights

Incorrect settings

Check to be sure that:

 

 

1. The correct input signal type has been selected in the UTIL menu for Inputs A&B and Inputs

 

 

C&D.

 

 

2. Signal sources have been assigned in the CH menu for Channels A to D.

 

 

 

No input meter lights

No signal

Check to be sure there is signal from the source feeding the UX8800.

 

 

 

No input meter lights

Cables disconnected or faulty

Check the input cables to the UX8800 for faults or mis-wiring.

 

 

 

No input meter lights

Internal failure

Internal failure is possible. The UX8800 should be repaired by qualified service personnel.

 

 

 

No input and/or output meter

Incorrect settings

Incorrect cable

For direct connection to a computer, you must use the supplied Ethernet crossover cable or or

an equivalent user-supplied cable. For a connection to an Ethernet hub, switch, or router, you

 

 

must use a user-suppled, standard Ethernet cable.

For a connection to an Ethernet network, set the IP address in the UTIL menu to dynamic.

work

 

Power off and then power on the UX8800. If a DHCP server is present, it should assign an IP

 

 

address to the UX8800. If it fails to find an address, set the IP address to static and manually

 

 

assign it an IP address, making the first three number groups the same as the other devices on

 

 

the network and making the fourth number group unique to the UX8800.

 

 

 

U-Net connection does not work

Cable problem

Check that the cabling is a standard or crossover CAT-5 Ethernet cable and that the cable is

for EAWPilot control

 

functioning correctly. The U-Net ports auto-sense the cable configuration. The supplied Ethernet

 

 

crossover cable can be used for interconnecting U-Net ports. Note: Control signals are

 

 

automatically sent and received over U-Net connections.

 

 

 

U-Net connection does not work

Audio signal(s) not assigned to

Sending and receiving audio over U-Net requires assigning Input Channel and Output Channels

for audio

the U-Net channels

to the desired U-Net channels. In other words, there must be signals assigned to be sent over a

 

 

U-Net channel in order to receive signals on that U-Net channel. Use the CH U-Net Output

 

 

function for the Input Channels and Output Channels to send signals to U-Net channels. Use the

 

 

CH Src function for the Input Channels to receive U-Net signals from U-Net Channels.
