Troubleshooting the
Switch Control Unit

Run the test

“Verifying the Switch Control Unit” on page 2-12

.

NOTE

Check to make sure that the serial number prefixes of the Switch Control
Unit and RF switch match. They are produced at the factory this way. It is
acceptable to use switches and SCUs with different serial numbers. But if
there is a problem, it may be because a newer switch is used with an older
SCU, or an older switch is used with a newer SCU.

Troubleshooting the
RF Switch

Run the test

“Verifying the RF Switches” on page 2-13.

Troubleshooting the
Cables

The cables will be checked during “Verifying the Switch Control Unit” and
“Verifying the RF Switches” tests in

Chapter 2, “Performance Verification.”

If a cable is suspected, use a voltmeter to check continuity between the
connectors on each end of the cable. See

Table 9-4 on page 9-12

for the

wiring information for each set of cables.
