Standing Wave Ratio
Displays Standing Wave Ratio. Standing Wave Ratio (SWR) is computed as follows:
Note: SWR is always computed-based on the forward and reverse power values in Watt,
regardless of the power measurement unit chosen for display.
Chassis temperature
Displays the internal unit chassis temperature. That temperature is usually 10 to 15
o
C
higher than ambient room temperature. Default range: 15 to 40

Settings
Analog monitoring 1
Generic Analog input (0 – 30VDC)
Displays user supplied analog input’s measurement values
Analog monitoring 2
Generic Analog input (0 – 30VDC)
Displays user supplied analog input’s measurement values
Fan 1
Fan speed monitoring signal. Analog sinusoidal input (0-5VDC) or digital TTL input (de-
tection threshold, low = 0.4V max and high = 2.4V min).
Fan 2
Fan speed monitoring signal. Analog sinusoidal input (0-5VDC) or digital TTL input (de-
tection threshold, low = 0.4V max and high = 2.4V min).
Digital Values
Alarm A1 input
Generic Alarm inputs. Programmable active high or low polarity. Safe voltage range -0.1V
to 30V.
When active high (low):
Voltage guaranteed to be detected as an alarm: 2.4V min (0.4V max).
Voltage guaranteed not to be detected as an alarm: 0.4V max (2.4V min).
Alarm A2 input
Alarm B1 input
Alarm B2 input
Status
For all digital and analog alarms displays alarm status: Normal or Fault.
For Forward Power and Standing Wave Ratio (SWR) displays “Transmitter off” when the
transmitter is off. Disregard the diagnostic value for SWR, Forward Power, and Reverse
Power if the transmitter is off.
Range
Displays range of values for all monitored analog diagnostic parameters.
User-configurable under Setup (Advanced) ►Diagnostics.
Recommended nominal ranges are:
Chassis Power Supply 10.8-16.0 Volts
Power Amplifier Power Supply 13.1-14.5 Volts (with Crescend PA)
Forward Power (700 & 800 MHz) 15. 0-77.0 Watts
Forward Power (UHF) 15. 0-110.0 Watts
