Receiver fails to power
• Verify polarity of power leads
• Check 1.0 A in-line power cable fuse connection (only if the cable has
a built in fuse)
• Check integrity of power cable connections
• Check power input voltage (7 - 32 VDC)
• Check current restrictions imposed by power source (maximum is 350
mA)
No data from the receiver
No communication
No valid data
• Check receiver power status
• Verify it is locked to a valid DGPS signal
• Verify that it is locked to 4 or more GPS satellites
• Check integrity and connectivity of power and data cable connections
• Verify the baud rate settings match
No GPS lock
• Check integrity of antenna cable
• Verify antenna’s view of the sky
• Verify the lock status and signal to noise ratio of GPS satellites (this can
often be done on the receiving device or by using PocketMax)
No SBAS
• Check antenna cable integrity
• Verify the antenna’s view of the sky, especially toward SBAS satellites,
south in the northern hemisphere
• Ensure there is SBAS coverage in your area
