loose and whether the connection is good. If the connection is good, we should check whether LOG equipment can
send signals to VDR. If there is an interface converter, please check whether the converter works well. After the
failure is eliminated, the displayed information of Remote Alarm Panel screen will disappear automatically.

3.6 “MAIN RADAR ERROR”&“AIDED RADAR ERROR”

When the main radar alarm appears, please check whether the main radar is on and whether the connection line is
loose. When the aided radar alarm appears, please check whether it is on and whether the connection line is loose.
It is beneath the main radar connection line.

3.7 PDC CONNECT ERROR

Next, let’s come to see when “PDC CONNECT ERROR” appears. The first step is to press the “Mute” & “ACK
FLASH” to stop alarm sound, then please check whether the plug of PDC connection is loose and here I mean 8
core plug. If the connection is loose, please fasten it. Check whether the plug of the PDC terminal is loose. PDC is
on the roof of the Bridge. If the connection cable is not loose, please connect the cable to the computer and check
whether the PDC can get connected. Both of the cable interface are RJ45. Start the computer, click “start ”, and
then click “run”, enter “ping 192.168.0.33 –t” and see whether can get connected. If not, please check whether
there is any voltage between the foot 6 and foot 7 of the plug in the PDC terminal. If there is, please check whether
the voltage is 24V. If there is no voltage, please whether there is any voltage between the foot 11 and foot 12 of A9
terminal in Main Cabinet Unit. If there is, please check whether the voltage is 24v. If there is no voltage, please
confirm whether the Power Supply Unit works normally. If the terminal of this side has electricity, please check the
PDC connection line. If you can’t remove the failure, please check the state of the N1, N2, N3, N4, N5 lamp in the
Main Cabinet Unit and contact us.

3.8 NOT RECEIVED INF

When “NOT RECEIVED INF” appears. The first step is to press the “Mute” & “ACK FLASH” to stop alarm
sound, then it is to check whether the connection line of Remote Alarm Panel is loose, and it is right here. Check
whether the connection lines within Main Cabinet Unit are loose, such as the Backup Disk connection & CF card
connection lines. Check whether the CF card is tightly inserted.
If all these connections are good, the system can’t work properly, please take out the CF card from Main Cabinet
Unit, through the card reader, insert it into the laptop, and check whether the system files are correct in the laptop.
Please check the filename “VXWORKS” is correct? Then check whether “BOOTROM.SYS” filename is correct.
Is there a “data” folder? Under “data” folder, are there “audio”, “other”, “picture” folders and “radar.cfg”,
“uart.cfg”, “audio.cfg” and “vdr_config.exe”. Check the state of the running lamp in the Main Cabinet Unit and
contact us. The lamp should flash once every 15 seconds. You can find it by referring the Installation Manual.
Note: “SYS”, “cfg”, “exe” are the extended filename.

3.9 Serial-Port Data Gathering

Sometimes we need the serial-port data to judge the reasons of the fault. Please get the data according to the
following steps:
1. Open the Main Cabinet Unit, turn off the power (there is one black button inside). You will find the Cables
Connection Drawing inside Main Cabinet Unit, please ensure that “ RAP” has been connected well. Please find
one cable from the second officer, one end is 2-core, the other end is 9-pin, insert the 2-core end into “ PC
Monitor”, insert the 9-pin end into “COM” of laptop.
