PRELIMINARY
TX Power Output Fault
Isolation Flowchart
Start
TX Power
Out of Limits
No
No, everything fails
If equipped, does a
BBX on a different
carrier but for the
same sector
pass?
Yes, it passes.
Likely Cause: Crossed TX cabling to include:
– CIO–Trunking Module,
– Trunking
Module–Filter/Combiner,
– Filter/Combiner–DRDC/TRDC
Carrier LPA Modules
Also check: Carrier Trunking Module
CIO Card.
Did TX Output
fail the High or
Low limit?
High limit
failure.
Does
Redundant BBX
have the same
problem on the
same sector?
Likely Cause: BBX Card
Attempt re–Calibration
before replacement.
No
Does any other
sector have the
same problem?
Likely Cause: CIO Card
Carrier Trunking Module
Also check: CIO–Trunking Module cabling
TX Filter/Combiner cabling
TX DRDC/TRDC cabling
Likely Cause: External Power Measurement
Equipment and/or Set–up.
Also check: Switch Card
External Attenuators & Pads,
Check Site Documentation.
Yes
Yes
Low limit
failure.
Likely Cause: CIO Card not fully seated
External Power Measurement
Equipment and/or Set–up
Crossed TX cabling to include:
– CIO–Trunking Module,
– Trunking
Module–Filter/Combiner,
– Filter/Combiner–DRDC/TRDC
Yes, it passes.
If equipped, does a
BBX on the same
carrier but for a
different sector
pass?
No, next BBX on same carrier
fails on different sector.
Likely Cause: BBX Card
Loose connections on
CIO–Trunking Module cabling,
TX Filter/Combiner cabling, or
TX DRDC/TRDC cabling
Also check: CIO Card
Carrier Trunking Module
