3. Next verify that the Rx Freq Band 1 and Tx Freq Band fields
list the correct ranges for receiver and transmitter.
NOTE: Rx Freq Band 2 should be set to “NONE.”
4. The PA Power Rating field should be set based on Table 5. All
PDR 3500 transmitter ranges except UHF R3 and R4 use the
Quantar low-power station profile. However, there is no low-
power UHF R3 or R4 Quantar, so the high-power profiles are
used for those ranges.
NOTE: Since high-power Quantar profiles are used for UHF
R3 and UHF R4 PDR 3500’s, which put out 30 and
25 watts respectively, Table 6 must be used to
translate from actual power output to the power
levels specified in RSS. In particular, the table must
be used for Power Out alignment and configuration
of Channel Information . The table is located in the
Alignment section of this manual.
5. Check that the Power Supply field shows “AC HIGH.” This
setting remains the same regardless of whether the PDR 3500 is
running off of AC or DC power.
NOTE: Older units may require the Power Supply field to be
set to “AC LOW.” If this is the case, the station will
report a mismatch when validating the hardware
configuration as described below. If such an error is
reported, change the Power Supply field to “AC
LOW” and repeat the validation.
6. If the unit is equipped with a Wireline Card, verify that the
Wireline field is set to “4-WIRE” or “8-WIRE” as appropriate.
Once the Hardware Configuration screen matches the installed
station hardware, press F8 to validate the configuration. A popup
message will notify the user of any errors in the configuration. For a
complete description of the Hardware Configuration fields, please
refer to the Quantar RSS User’s Guide (68P81085E35).
