4.5.2.4 Units
This option allows the user to select the RF Power measurement units (measured in
either dBm or Watts) reported on the front panel and remote interface. Both Forward
and Reflected RF power sensor measurements will be affected.
4.6 View SSPA System Info
To verify a selection on the SSPA control menu, select Item“4.View” and press the
“Enter” key. The selected attenuation, forward RF power level, system mute state and
type of the selected system will be displayed on the front panel VFD.
To return to the SSPA control menu, press the “Up” key; to return to the main menu,
press the “Main menu key”.
Note: The Forward RF Power Level can be displayed only if a Paradise Datacom
remote RF Power Meter was included in your system. Otherwise, this item will display
“N/A” for not available.
SSPA sub system info page 1 pertains to conditions and settings common to all
SSPAs in a subsystem (RCP firmware version 3.10 or better).
Atten.(dB) is the current level of subsystem attenuation. All SSPAs in the system are
adjusted simultaneously and have same level of attenuation.
Mute – indicates the overall mute state of the subsystem. Mute state is applied to all
connected SSPAs, the mute state of an individual SSPA can’t be different then the
system mute state.
FrwrdRF(Watts/dBm) – readout from system forward RF power detector (if equipped).
The readout can be represented in Watts or dBms. (see Units menu selection). If the
subsystem is not equipped with this power detector, the readout will display N/A.
Ref.RF(Watts/dBm) (RCP firmware version 3.40 or better) – readout from system
reflected RF power detector (if equipped). The readout can be represented in Watts or
dBms. (see Units menu selection). If the subsystem is not equipped with this power
detector, readout will display N/A.
SSPA sub system info page 2 (RCP firmware version 3.60 or better) pertains to
individual SSPA output power levels.
UnitRFx(dBm) – is the forward RF output level of each individual SSPA. The readout
can be represented in dBms only. The value of an individual forward RF power is
measured on the output flange of a particular SSPA. If the SSPA unit is not present in
the system, readout will indicate N/A.
