Troubleshooting

This section describes how to cure hardware and software troubles that should
be carried out by qualified service personnel.

Note 1:
This radar equipment contains complex modules in which fault

diagnosis and repair down to component level are not practicable by
users.

Note 2: When replacement of the SPU board is necessary, the previous settings

can be transferred to new SPU board as follows:
- Use the CU-200 to save settings to a RAM card.
- After replacing the SPU board, load the entire contents of the RAM
card to the radar, referring to section 5.12 for the procedure.
