Introduction
This section provides information on routine maintenance and trouble-
shooting that can be carried out by the user.

and tools only available to qualified service technicians. There are no user
serviceable parts or adjustments.
Maintenance

Always turn your weather system OFF before carrying out
routine maintenance.
Routine checks
Your Sirius SR100 Weather System is a sealed unit. Routine checks are
therefore limited to the following periodical checks:
• Examine the cables for signs of damage, such as chafing, cuts, or nicks.
• Check that the cable connectors are firmly attached and dust caps are
fitted to any connection not in use.
Cleaning
Your Sirius SR100 Weather System is a sealed unit and does not require
regular cleaning. However, if you find it necessary to clean the unit, follow
these basic procedures:
• Wipe the module clean with a damp cloth.
• If necessary, use iso-propyl alcohol (IPA) or a mild detergent solution to
remove any grease marks.
Troubleshooting
Your Raymarine product, prior to packing and shipping, has been subjected
to comprehensive test and quality assurance programs. However, if the
unit should develop a fault, please refer to the following section to identify
the most likely cause and the corrective action required to restore normal
operation. If you still have a problem after referring to the following
section, contact your local dealer, national distributor or Raymarine Tech-
nical Services Department for further advice.
Status LED
The LED on the connector panel provides valuable information on the
status of your SR100 system.
The LED blinks green while the system is operating normally. If the unit
detects a problem, the LED blinks amber to indicate a warning or red to
indicate an error. The pattern of the LED blink is a code representing the
nature of the problem. For multiple warnings/errors the codes are given in
sequence with a 1.5 second pause between the indications.
The following table shows the LED status codes and their meanings:
