Chapter 3 3333 Service & maintenance Contact for support Contact your authorized dealer for technical service and support of the MF/HF radio. Before contacting your authorized dealer you can go through the troubleshooting guide to solve some of the most common operational problems. Maintenance Preventive maintenance Maintenance of the SAILOR 6300 MF/HF DSC can be reduced to a weekly check and a maintenance check at each visit of the service staff.
Chapter 3: Service & maintenance Weekly installation check Go through the following weekly check procedure: 1. The Antenna Tuning Unit will tune automatically to the antenna first time the equipment is keyed on a new frequency or when the PTT button is pressed. During the tune sequence and normal transmission all transmitter circuits are monitored to ensure safe operating conditions. If transmission conditions are bad (bad antenna installation, high temperatures, etc.
3333 Chapter 3: Service & maintenance TEST RESULT 4. Press the soft key OK to acknowledge the test result and resume normal operation. Important DSC loopback test passed TEST RESULT DSC loopback test FAILED If the DSC loopback test fails, this indicates the DSC functionality does not work correctly — including the ability to send a Distress message. Contact your dealer immediately for further advice.
Chapter 3: Service & maintenance Troubleshooting guide Action Symptom Remedy The radio will not turn on The display is empty. Check if power is present. No communication The loudspeaker is mute. Check the antenna installation. Check performance of power supply if connected to one. Check antenna cable. Check handset/Handmicrophone and cable. GPS Position requested.
Symptom Remedy DSC routine testing 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 MF/HF radio is auto-acknowledgement of any received Safety test call requests.
Chapter 3: Service & maintenance Action 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 nor providing correct time data. A valid GPS time signal will update the UTC time used for time stamping the DSC logs.
Action Symptom Device failure 3333 Chapter 3: Service & maintenance 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 installation, a fault may have developed in the MF/HF radio itself. Cannot transmit, TX inhibit is displayed External switch on the Transceiver Unit temporarily disables the radio.
Chapter 3: Service & maintenance Repacking for shipment The shipping carton has been carefully designed to protect the SAILOR 6300 MF/HF DSC and its accessories during shipment. This carton and its associated packing material should be used when repacking for shipment. Attach a tag indicating the type of service required, return address, part number and full serial number. Mark the carton FRAGILE to ensure careful handling. Note Correct shipment is the customer’s own responsibility.
