Bailey Digital TV Antenna System (2012 Model Year, Pegasus)
Sourced from Bailey's 2012 model year owner's manual for the Pegasus range. If your caravan is a different age or range, some details — such as the exact control panel brand or chassis-component generation actually fitted — may not match. Always cross-check against the handbook that came with your specific caravan.
Master Troubleshooting & Diagnostics Matrix
| Error Code / Indicator | Symptom / Meaning | Step-by-Step DIY Fix | Suggested Actions |
|---|---|---|---|
N/A | Red LED on the Power Pack does not light up Possible Cause: Faulty coaxial plug, incorrect wiring, or damaged coaxial cable connected to the antenna dome | Unplug the cable connected to the antenna dome from the 'ANT-IN' socket. If the LED then illuminates, check each individual coaxial plug ensuring it is wired correctly, and inspect the coaxial cable for sharp bends, kinks, hot surfaces, or close proximity to electrical equipment. If the LED is still not lit after this check, contact our office or an authorised service centre for further assistance. | DIY Check / Tech Fallback |
N/A | TV picture quality is poor or affected by interference (Status antenna) Possible Cause: Coaxial cable is damaged (sharp bends, kinks, or resting on a hot surface), or is routed close to electrical cables, transformers, or other electrical equipment, which can cause interference - especially in poor reception areas. | Inspect the coaxial cable routing and ensure it is not damaged or routed near electrical equipment. Remove any excess cable rather than coiling it, as coiled cable can also cause picture distortion. | DIY Safe |
N/A | TV picture is affected by strong signal near a transmitter (Status antenna) Possible Cause: The Gain Control Switch is set to the normal 'NML' position while situated close to a TV transmitter, where a strong signal can affect picture quality. | Set the Gain Control Switch to the Low setting when close to TV transmitters. | DIY Safe |
N/A | Unclear whether a poor TV signal is caused by the antenna system or the caravan's internal TV wiring (Status antenna) | Perform a Short Hook-up Test: unplug the coaxial plugs from the 'TV-FM' sockets of the Power Pack that connect to the TV outlet socket, then connect the TV directly to the Power Pack using a TV fly lead plugged into one of the 'TV-FM' sockets. Ensure the antenna dome is plugged directly into the 'ANT-IN' socket and switch on, then re-tune the TV for the strongest signal. If picture quality improves, the fault lies in the wiring between the Power Pack and the TV outlet socket, not the antenna system itself. | DIY Safe |
