Master Troubleshooting & Diagnostics Matrix
| Error Code / Indicator | Symptom / Meaning | Step-by-Step DIY Fix | Suggested Actions |
|---|---|---|---|
N/A | TV/radio picture or reception problem (Status 570/VP3 antenna) Possible Cause: A coaxial connection in the system is not fitted correctly. | Check that all coaxial connections in the system are fitted correctly. | DIY Safe |
N/A | TV picture is affected by a strong signal near a transmitter (Status 570/VP3 antenna) Possible Cause: The Gain Control is set to maximum (clockwise) in a strong-signal area. | Rotate the Gain Control button anti-clockwise (through up to 270 degrees) until picture quality improves. | DIY Safe |
N/A | The LED on the Amplifier does not light (Status 570/VP3 antenna) Possible Cause: No power to the unit, or incorrect polarity. | First check there is power to the unit, then check the polarity is correct. If still not lit, contact Grade UK Ltd for further assistance. | DIY Check / Tech Fallback |
N/A | Unclear whether a poor TV signal is caused by the Amplifier/wiring or the antenna itself (Status 570/VP3 antenna) | Short Hook Up Test 1: unplug the coaxial plugs from the Amplifier's 'TV' sockets and, using the TV fly lead with Converter 1, connect the TV direct to the Amplifier (with the Antenna Dome plugged into 'ANT-IN'). If picture quality improves, the fault lies in the wiring between the Amplifier and the TV outlet socket. Short Hook Up Test 2: unplug the Antenna from the Amplifier, connect Converter 2 to the cable end, and connect the antenna directly to the TV with the fly lead. If picture quality improves, the fault lies with the Amplifier itself. | DIY Safe |
N/A | Poor reception, or affects performance of other coaxial-connected equipment Possible Cause: Kinked, trapped, or looped surplus coaxial cable between the antenna dome and the amplifier. | Check the routing of the coaxial cable from the antenna dome to the amplifier for kinks, trapped sections, or loops of surplus cable. | DIY Safe |
