Chapter 3 Contact your authorized dealer for technical service and support of the VHF radio. Before contacting your authorized dealer you can go through the troubleshooting guide to solve some of the most common operational problems. 3 Service & maintenance Contact for support 3333 Service & maintenance Maintenance Preventive maintenance Maintenance of the SAILOR 6222 VHF DSC can be reduced to a maintenance check at each visit of the service staff.
Chapter 3: Service & maintenance DSC self test To run a control routine DSC self test, do as follows: 1. Press the soft key SETUP. If it is not in the display, press the soft key MORE until SETUP appears. 2. Press the arrow soft key or to advance to DSC SETUP. 3. Turn the selector knob to select DSC Self Test. Press and turn the selector knob to select RUN. The test will check the ability to encode/decode DSC signalling on RF level.
Action Symptom Remedy The radio will not turn on The display is empty. Check if power is present. Check fuse which is placed in the power connector. Check performance of power supply if connected to one. No communication The loudspeake r is mute. Check the antenna installation. Check antenna cable. Check handset/Handmicrophone and cable. GPS Position requested.
Chapter 3: Service & maintenance Action Symptom DSC routine testing Remedy Check the DSC function regularly. Verify the complete DSC installation, with antennas, by transmitting a Safety Test call to another station (coast or ship). The test call is generated using the DSC call flow via menu CALL. The call should normally be replied by the receiving station without questioning. The default configuration of a DSC VHF radio is autoacknowledgement of any received Safety test call requests.
Symptom Remedy Radio time DSC logs are sorted with wrong time stamp or radio time is incorrect A wrong radio time indication should occur only if GPS position source is not connected or providing correct time data. A valid GPS time signal will update the UTC time used for time stamping the DSC logs. If a GPS/position source is not connected to the VHF radio and hence position and time is entered manually, you must enter the "radio time" also manually, at least after power up.
Chapter 3: Service & maintenance Action Symptom Device failure Remedy If any of the checks and tests described in this section do not assist in resolving the difficulties experienced in the operation and/or performance of the VHF installation, a fault may have developed in the VHF radio itself.
Replacing the fuse in the power connector One fuse is installed in the power connector. If the fuse is blown, do as follows: 1. Track down why the fuse was blown and solve the problem. 2. Take out the old fuse. Service & maintenance 3. Insert the new fuse. The fuse rating is 10 A T.
Chapter 3: Service & maintenance Replacing the fuse in the SAILOR 6090 Power Converter One fuse is installed in the SAILOR 6090 Power Converter. If the fuse is blown, do as follows: 1. Track down why the fuse was blown and solve the problem. 2. Take out the old fuse. 3. Insert the new fuse. The fuse rating is 10 A T.
