Doing so will enable us to discover a shorted / open circuit also. This can be achieved by disconnecting the antenna cable from the C-Nav receiver. Next, with a multimeter, measure the resistance of the cable and antenna as shown in Figure 1 below, ensuring your multimeter is set to measure ohms Ω. - Page 7 ~2.8 K ohms antenna AN-2004T – Standard (white) C-Nav2050 GPS / L-Band antenna ~0.8 K ohms AD422 – High latitude (dark green & white) C-Nav L-Band antenna ~13.0 M ohms Table 1: Resistances of antenna and cable.

- Page 8 C-Nav Troubleshooting Guide Step 2: Following the diagrams below, take a voltage reading of the antenna power supply before reconnecting your antenna cable. Figure 2: C-NavX3 antenna power supply. Figure 3: C-NavX1 antenna power supply. ® Figure 4: C-Nav3050 antenna power supply.
- Page 9 Figure 5: C-Nav5000 antenna power supply. New C-Nav receivers offer a potential difference of ~5 volts. Note that voltage will vary / degrade with the age of a device and due to environmental issues. So long as the receiver is outputting a voltage that can supply your antenna with the minimum required voltage as outlined in Table 3, then your C-Nav positioning system will function as required.
- Page 10 If your main receiver to antenna cable length and type do not match the specifications listed in Table 3, it is advisable to source the correct cable or verify there is a suitable amplifier inserted in line with the connection, otherwise issues will be encountered with your C-Nav positioning system. For cable and amplifier supply and issues please contact C-Nav Support.

Subscription active, coverage, working. Table 6: Iridium status LEDs. If the Iridium status LED is Yellow, then make C-Nav Support aware to double check your activation. If the LED is Red then further troubleshooting is required, please follow steps 1-4 below:... - Page 14 To start troubleshooting the Iridium antenna run, confirm data is flowing from the Iridium antenna to the C-NavX1 / X3 by checking the C-Nav control software’s ‘Receiver information’ page is reading the IMEI number of the Iridium antenna, this is sent from the antenna to software so will only display if there is functioning communication.
