3.2.2 Fail Status
3.2.2.1 Overdrive Fail
There is one overdrive fail on the unit, for the up link. Over driving occurs when the
RF output power of the bi-directional amplifier exceeds a prescribed limit. This
means that the input RF power level is too high, or the bi-directional amplifier is
oscillating. The condition may be transient, caused by a passing emergency vehicle
emitting a strong signal for example, or permanent, due to a nearby base station. It
may also indicate low isolation between the antennas, which causes the unit to
oscillate (please refer to the section 2.6.2 of this manual for antenna alignment and
isolation.)
The overdrive fail on the USHR-800NIH bi-directional amplifier is design to detect
whether the over driving is transient or permanent. If the output power level of
reverse path(=Up Link) exceeds prescribed limit, then reverse path is disconnected
and the RX Alarm LED (RED) is on. Bi-directional amplifier automatically checks
output power level every 1 minute of a 5 minute cycle when reverse path has over
power . If reverse path still exceeds level then shut down mode continues for
another 10 minutes. After 10 minutes, reverse path is switched on again and it
checks output power level again. (Repeats the process)
4. Trouble Shooting
If the bi-directional amplifier does not operate properly after installation, first make
sure that the installation procedures as described in section 2 of this manual were
followed correctly. Inspect each connection, both RF and AC, and connectors for a
secure fit, checking to see if all the connections are made to the proper ports of the
unit and the antennas.
If the malfunction is due to an alarm condition, refer to the appropriate part of the
section 3.2 of this manual. Corrective actions may be taken for the overdrive
alarms.
There are no user serviceable parts in the USHR-800NIH.
DO NOT OPEN the unit. There is a danger of an electric shock.
Opening the covers of the unit will void all warranties.
To comply with FCC RF Exposure requirement, the antenna must be
kept 20cm away from user.
CAUTION!
