Moseley SL9003Q 602-12016 Revision G
By pressing the RADIO B button, RADIO B now becomes the Master, and the TP64 will
switchover to RADIO B (assuming that RADIO B is “good”).
The default A-Master Logic will then switch to B-Master Logic, as outlined in Tables F-1 and F-
2.
Note: Manual switching of the Master is often used to force the system over to the
standby unit. The user may want to put more “time” on the standby unit after an
extended period of service.
In Hot Standby configurations, this will not buy the user anything in terms of reliability. In a Cold
Standby, the “burn time“ is more significant, since the RF power amplifier device operating life
becomes a factor.
F.7 Software Settings
The full array of available settings for the Control and Configuration menus are located in QAM
User Manual. Shown here are the applicable settings for redundant standby systems.
F.7.1 Starlink Transmitter Settings
These settings configure the transmitter for hot (or cold) standby.
It is important that each Starlink transmitter in the redundant pair is configured identically for
proper operation.
Controls #1
TX CONTROL:
XFER:
Configures the unit for HOT or COLD STANDBY operation,
depending on the setting of TX XFER (next line in menu).
TX XFER: (select per system requirement)
HOT:
Configures the unit for HOT STANDBY operation.*(preferred)
COLD:
Configures the unit for COLD STANDBY operation.
TX STATUS: (shown in this menu for ease of use)
RADIATE:
Indicates the transmitter is ON and radiating
OFF:
Indicates the transmitter is OFF
F.7.2 TP64 Settings
The TP64 software settings are contained in the internal firmware. Aside from the front panel
RADIO A/B Master Select (as described above), there are no user-configurable settings in the
TP64 unit.
