All six of the LED’s on the front panel will flash 3 times
If the LED’s do NOT flash three times, then remove the module, check the power source, and
re-insert the module, (See Installation Instructions).
If the card is “OK” the LED’s will continue normally (See Normal Operation).
If there is a fault, then the Red Fault LED will remain on. If this occurs, contact Powerwave
Technologies Inc.
Note! The Power On Self Test is Not an RF test, it only verifies that there is power to the unit and
that the logical circuitry is functioning.
2.4 Fault Indications
Each module continuously performs internal diagnostics. If a problem is detected it will activate its Red
Fault LED and Fault Relay. Faults detected include:
Over Temperature
High VSWR
Loss of Lock
Misc. Internal Faults
Detailed faults are detected by the optional gateway module. Details may also be determined via
the module's control port connector and an RS232 connected Terminal Emulator using the LIST
command.
