Error Codes And Troubleshooting - MotoSAT Nomad 2 Owner's Manual

ERROR CODES AND TROUBLESHOOTING

The NOMAD Controller is capable of detecting many different types of
problems that may occur during operation. The Controller will signify that
it has found a problem by flashing 1 or more LEDs on its face in 1-second
intervals. See the table below for information about Error Codes, which LEDs
will flash when an error is detected, and some possible causes and solutions
for these errors.
NOTE: Before accepting any of the flashing LED codes, first perform a TEST
DISH to see if the error persists. (See page 10 for information on performing
a TEST DISH.) If the error continues, refer to the table below. If the problem
persists and you can find no solution, then please call our Technical Support
Line (800) 247-7486 for further assistance.
