This is typically caused by damage to the driver board or power supply. First check that your power supply is supplying the correct voltage (24V or 33V). If the power supply is working correctly but you still get this message, the driver board is likely damaged. We recommend filling out an RMA form and sending the controller to SteppIR for repair.
This is typically caused by damage to the controller display board or LCD module. We recommend filling out an RMA form and sending the controller to SteppIR for repair.
This is usually caused by a short-circuit in the antenna wiring or elements. In our DB-series antennas this fault is often caused by damage to the relays in the EHUs. Try disconnecting the control cable from the controller and see if it still restarts. If it doesn’t restart when disconnected from the antenna then you know that it is the antenna which is at fault.
These troubleshooting guides will help you diagnose and repair issues with your SteppIR controllers and antennas. If you are unsure where to begin troubleshooting we recommend that you start by performing a voltage and resistance check on your antenna and controller. The tests will tell you whether there is an issue with your controller, your antenna, or both. Follow the guides below to get started.
