1. Blown fuse, low power or wiring

• Check that the in-line quick blow fuse (if fitted) has not blown, or the

circuit breaker has not tripped. Replace fuse with one of the same type

and rating.

• If you have extended the power cable from the antenna unit, check

that there is no power loss.

• Check the system wiring and connections.

2. Satellite signal blocked

Satellite signals can be blocked or degraded by buildings, other boats, or

equipment on your boat. Check that the antenna has a clear view of the

sky.

3. Outside satellite coverage zone

Your system will provide excellent reception within the antenna coverage

area for your satellite television service. However, signal quality may

degrade as you approach the edges of this zone. Refer to “Satellite

coverage areas” on page 49 to check the viable coverage area for your

antenna.

4. Radar interference

The energy levels radiated by radar units can overload the antenna front-

end circuits. Make sure that your antenna is installed as described in “How

do I plan the installation?...” on page10 of this handbook with regards to

your radar unit.

5. Incorrect or loose RF or power/data connectors

As part of the regular maintenance recommended by Raymarine, all

connections should be checked to ensure that they have not become loose.

A loose RF or power/data connector can reduce signal quality or cause the

antenna not to work.

5. Multi-switch interference

If you have multiple IRD’s connected to your system, make sure that you

are using an ACTIVE not PASSIVE multi-switch.

7. IRD troubleshooting

Your IRD may be the cause of less than ideal operation.

1. Check the IRDs configuration to ensure that it is programmed for the

area in which you are operating.

2. Unplug the IRD from the power supply for 15 seconds. Reconnect and

allow the system to initialize.

8. LNB fault

If you have an LNB fault, it may require replacing. Contact your local

dealer, national distributor or Raymarine Product Support for further

assistance.
