8. Maintenance

8.1 Regular

Maintenance

Surge arrestors are degraded by lightening induced voltages, resulting in changes to their
discharge breakdown voltage. They require periodic checks and should be replaced if necessary.

They can be checked by removing the internal components from the arrestor cabinet. The glass
pipe part should be inspected and if it has turned black then replacement is required.

CAUTION

The surge arrestor must be periodically maintained to prevent malfunction.

8.2 Troubleshooting

In the event of failure or unexpected behaviour of the unit, the following items should be
checked.

Symptom

Possible cause and / or remedy

"5V" LED is off.

Check that power connections to the unit are made correctly and that the power supply switch on
the front panel is ON. If so, then a failure of the internal power supply unit is a possible cause.

"ERROR" LED is on.

The GPS receiver unit is failed. The internal circuit clock has stopped oscillating.

"1PPS OUT" LED does not
start to blink after power ON.

Check the antenna location and connection.
Check that the DIP switches are set to proper positions.

It takes a long time until
"1PPS OUT" LED starts
blinking after power ON.

In cases where the power has been turned off for 16 hours or more, internal back-up data may
be lost and it may take about 30 minutes before the unit is ready to output the 1PPS signal. This
case is not an error.

However, if 1PPS is not output after about 30 minutes, check that the antenna is installed in a
satisfactory location.

During operation, the 1PPS
output is interrupted.

Check to make sure that the antenna is installed in a satisfactory location.

Data cannot be detected on
the receiving device.

Check that the optical fibre is connected securely and that it is not damaged or severely bent
(minimum bend radius is 50mm).

The 1PPS signal or the time
data is irregular.

Possible failure of the internal receiver.

"1PPS OUT" LED does not
turn on.

Check that the DIP switches are set to proper positions.

If a failure continues, stop using the GPS receiver unit and contact the vendor.
