Operating Instructions
3-1 Introduction
This chapter contains a description of the G3L-929-135 Multi-Carrier Power Amplifier (MCPA)
controls, indicators, and initial start-up and operating procedures.
3-2 Controls and Indicators
The controls and indicators for the G3L-929-135 Power Amplifier consist of the primary power
RESET toggle switch, the LED STATUS indicator, and the RJ-11 PC Interface as shown in
Figure 3-1.
3-2.1 RESET Switch
The RESET Switch, located on the front panel, has three positions, each with its own function.
• The momentary up position resets fault indications and returns the MCPA to normal
operation if a critical or hard fault does not prevent such operation. When the switch is
released, it automatically returns to the middle position.
• The middle position allows normal operation. If no critical faults are present, the MCPA
operates normally.
• The down position is used to turn the MCPA off. The MCPA remains disabled until the
switch is manually returned to the middle position.
