8. TROUBLESHOOTING 
 

a.  Ensure you are using quality multiple shielded cables with quality radial or 

compression F-connectors. 

 
b.  Ensure the F-connector’s center conductor is making solid contact with the C-

SAW860’s 

Video Input, Audio Input, and RF Output

 ports. 

 

c.  If the CT-SAW860 is receiving power but no signal, check to be sure the video and/or 

audio input cables are securely connected with their respective Video Output and 
Audio Output ports on the video source and the Video Input and Audio Input ports on 
the CT-SAW860.  Also ensure the cable is securely connected at the CT-SAW860’s 

RF Output

 port and the combiner’s input ports. 

 

d.  When taking measurements it is always best to use a quality signal level meter.  For 

initial individual CT-SAW860 setup measurements may be taken from the unit’s RF 
Output port.  System level measurements, however, should be taken from the 
combiner’s output.  For field maintenance, the CT-SAW860’s Output Test port may 
be used.  However, note that port is padded down -30dB that must be taken into 
consideration when determining individual unit level settings and output.
