IDU stands for Indoor Unit Fault. If you see this fault it means the receiver is unable to lock into the satellite channel requested. This could be caused by any number of problems from having no dish to a problem with the receiver. If you see this fault check for loose connectors broken wires, obstructions in the dish or fed horn, water in the transmission cable, or misalignment of the dish. If that doesn’t work you can call IRN for assistance. ODU stand for Outdoor Unit Fault. If you see this fault it most likely means you have more than one ABR 200 receiver looped together (being fed from the same LNB). The second receiver will display ODU fault because its power supply is not providing power to the LNB (the first receiver’s power supply is doing that job).
