Victor 883 problem, please help.

[Al Skierkiewicz]

DB,
The 883 in particular, will show some difficulty in fully inserting the PWM cable into the input connector on the 883. Considering the age, it is also possible for the input sockets to be sufficiently spread so as to prevent a good connection. From the 883 sheet...

Indication: No ORANGE indicator on power up.
Problem: Input power issue or joystick trim tab off
center.
Ed. *Please note that the safety feature of this device prevents operation if the controller powers up with a PWM signal demanding movement. The PWM signal must be at a neutral value during power up.


Indication: Flashing ORANGE indicator on power up.
Problem: No PWM signal.
Indication: Flashing RED indicator after calibration.
Problem: Calibration Failed.


LED Indicator Status
· Green = Full Forward
· Orange = Neutral / Brake
· Red = Full Reverse
· Flashing Orange = no PWM

If you are using a multimeter to measure end to end continuity, you should not have 1950 ohms on any wire. There should be continuity from end to end on all three wires and no reading from any wire to any other wire. This test is performed with the cable disconnected at both ends.
