| Poor RF signal. |
Cable runs too long. |
- Ensure that you minimize the required cable lengths and RF
signal loss by installing the fiber base unit close to the
receivers.
- Minimize the cable length between the fiber remote unit and
attached downconverters.
|
| RF levels too low. |
- Use the receiver’s Fiber & Splitter menu to add a gain boost into
the splitter system. Note that if you add a boost when RF levels
are not too low you can overload/saturate the system.
|
| Issues with the downconverters connected to the fiber remote
unit. |
- Check the placement of downconverters attached to the fiber
remote unit.
- Verify there is no mismatch of antennas. All downconverter and
transmitter antennas should match your band of operations.
- Check downconverters are powered.
|
| Poor or no fiber signal from the remote unit to the base
unit. |
- Check that all fiber connectors are securely fastened.
- Remove the fiber connections and clean the glass tip. Reconnect
and verify the signal.
- Check that fiber is connected to the correct ports on both the
fiber remote and fiber base units (S to S and D to D).
- Turn off power to the receiver's RF ports carrying fiber.
