Application Advisory
AA-3(IR TS)
3.
Using a CFL-Friendly IR Receiver (291-80,
480-80, or 780-80) and trying to control a
unit with a carrier frequency greater then
40kHz (I.e. RCA DSS, Scientific Atlanta,
Jerald, and General Instruments Cable or
DSS Set Top Boxes).
If you are using the 291-80 or 780-80
CFL Friendly receiver, locate the Carrier
Frequency Adjustment on the unit and
using a small blade screwdriver, (3/32"
blade width max.) rotate the adjustment
for best performance of all the units in
the system. Note: The 480-80 version
does not have this feature; you will either
need to change the unit to a 291-80,
780-80 or the 490-90. The 490-90 is a
wide band unit and will not require any
frequency adjustment.
Symptom #7:
Absolutely No Functionality (How to determine which component is at fault)
Step: Component to Test Instructions
1.
Verify Power Supply
With a Multimeter, measure the DC
Voltage of the supply while it is
connected to the Connecting Block. Put
the Negative lead of the meter on the
terminal marked GND and the Positive
Lead on the terminal marked 12VDC (or
V). You should get a reading between
11.5VDC and 13.0VDC. If not, remove
the supply from the Connecting block
and measure again this time directly on
the 2.5mm Coaxial plug. If it reads
between 11.5VDC and 13VDC, power
supply is most likely good. Reconnect to
the Connecting Block and proceed to
step 2. NOTE: In most cases this will
indicate the supply is good but in
some cases the supply can still be
bad (i.e. reads good when not
plugged in but may not be able to
handle the current load of the
system.)
