Field Explanation
Fwd Low Pwr
Warning
Set the minimum forward power in watts (W) below which a warning is
indicated. If the transmitter output power drops below this level, the forward
power bar and Output LED will turn yellow. This value must be lower than
Nominal power.
Fwd Low Pwr Alarm Set the minimum forward power in watts (W) below which a fault is indicated.
If the transmitter output power drops below this level, the forward power bar
and Output LED will turn red. This value must be lower or equal to the FWD
Low PWR Warning.
Max Fwd Power Set the maximum forward power in watts (W) above which a fault is indicated.
If the transmitter output power exceeds this level, the forward power bar will
turn Red. This value must be larger than the Nominal Power Output.
Nominal Power
Output
This entry sets the maximum level that the Fwd Power Reference can be set to
in watts (W), and also sets the 100% forward power bar level.
Actual Fwd Power
Ref
This field represents the actual power setting in the transmitter. The actual
power setting can be reduced from the Fwd Power Reference setting due to
any of the following reasons:
- The value of the % of Fwd Pwr Reference setting is less than 100%.
- Faulted PA components have reduced the maximum output power of the
system below the Fwd Pwr Reference setting.
- Transmitter is in power foldback state due to a high level of reflected power
at the transmitter output.
