1 Verify that the HLU is installed and operational in the CO.

2 Verify proper cabling between the doubler enclosure and the CO.

3 Measure 100 to 200 Vdc between pins 5 or 6 and 8 or 9. This voltage

peaks every 15 to 30 seconds as the HLU cycles between self test and
line power. If less than 100 Vdc is present, check the cabling or the HLU.
Only the line units mentioned in the “Applications” section can be used
to power doublers (see

Table 3 on page 6

). Other HLU models may not

provide reliable operation and should not be used.

The HLU at the CO is not present. Measure the resistance of the HDSL input
loop. Resistance should be normal loop resistance plus the 25

signature

of the HLU.

A grounded pair is being detected by either the HLU or HDU-409 in Span 1.
This causes the unit’s GFD circuit to trigger which forces the HDSL line
voltage off immediately after it cycles on. Remove the HLU and HDU-409
and check for cable ground faults in Span 1. The doubler’s GFD circuit can
easily be checked by grounding any of the loop connectors to the doubler.
This forces the circuit down immediately. If the circuit stays up, either the
GFD circuit is defective or the HDU-409 is not properly grounded.

A grounded pair is being detected by the HDU-409 in Span 2. Remove
HDU-409 and check for ground fault in Span 2.
