Table 2-6. UHF Exciter Tray Meters
METER FUNCTION
Meter (A4-A18)
Reads power in terms of a percentage of
the calibrated output power level on the
upper scale. The voltage level is read on
one of the bottom two scales. A full scale
reading on the top scale is 0-120%, which
is equivalent to the full-rated 300 watts or
1000 watts in the upgradeable version,
average power. Also reads % Exciter
Power, % Reflected Power, and ALC
reading.
Switch (S3), meter
Selects the desired ALC voltage reading, %
Exciter Power, % Output Power, and %
Reflected Power
ALC
(0-1 V)
Reads the ALC voltage level, .8 VDC, on
the 0-10 scale
