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. |
|
|
|
No power light | ac mains fuse is blown due to an | Disconnect the ac mains from the unit. Using a small screwdriver gently pry out the small drawer |
| external cause | 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. |

No power light | ac mains fuse is blown due to an | Disconnect the ac mains from the unit. Using a small screwdriver gently pry out the small |
| internal failure | 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. |
