Troubleshooting
Troubleshooting any technical issues with the Terrapin FTR-D6 Fiber Transceiver System is
similar to any piece of television production gear with the obvious exception of the core
Fiber Optic technology.
Keep the following in mind:
• Check all your cables for any broken connections or bad connectors.
• Ensure that the Power Supply is working or fully charged (for external battery)? If there
is a power problem, check the fuses.
• Ensurethat the
Terrapin FTR‐D6
unit is in the correct operating mode for the operation
you need.
• The
Terrapin FTR‐D6
will indicate a fault by blinking LEDs in the Fiber Input Optical
Power section of the top panel. The blinking will occur at one second intervals.
Faults indicated may be due to excessively high operating temperature or possibly frp,
the reclocking function not working correctly. The unit may continue to operate at an
excessively high temperature, but you should take action to lower the temperature. If
the reclocking is not working properly, it will adversely affect the output.
• If you cannot resolve the problem in the field, contact Grass Valley support (see
