Operation RF-Orchestra!™ Transmitter Installation and Operation Power Metering The station power level is measured using internal and external power detectors and support from the Distributor DSP. The combination of the Distributor DSP and the detectors form the internal and external wattmeters. The power output is determined by sampling of the internal and external detectors by the Distributor DSP when instructed to do so by the Host processor (MC68360). The Host requests samples during FM keyups only.
RF-Orchestra!™ Transmitter Installation and Operation Operation actual power output. The calibration factor ranges from 0.8 to 1.2. See paragraph , "Check Front Panel Indications" in Chapter 6, "Maintenance" for detailed instructions on wattmeter calibration. Amplitude Alignment Once the wattmeters are calibrated, the power output can be aligned. Power amplitude alignment allows the transmitter to output the desired per-subchannel power, based on a known power output with a single FM subchannel.
Operation RF-Orchestra!™ Transmitter Installation and Operation Power Set The power set functionality of the RF-O! transmitter software simply regenerates the tables in Figure 5-15 based on the user’s desired per-subchannel power setting. Using the RFO FIPS: a 88 0 x and a 88 1 y commands, the user can select the power output for both FM and AM transmissions. The range of power settings depends upon the number of PAs installed.
RF-Orchestra!™ Transmitter Installation and Operation Operation Module Monitoring The module monitoring feature monitors each of the modules within the RF-O! transmitter for failure conditions. The RF-O! transmitter software periodically checks the status of the Exciter, Power Amplifier(s), Power Supplies, Circulator Load Temperature, and OCB to determine whether the transmitter should continue transmitting at full power, cutback, or disable the transmitter completely.
Operation RF-Orchestra!™ Transmitter Installation and Operation Power Leveling If the power leveling feature is enabled, the RF-O! transmitter constantly monitors the power output of the transmitter and automatically makes fine adjustments to keep the power output at the desired level. After every 20 internal wattmeter forward power samples are taken, the average power output for those 20 samples is calculated.
RF-Orchestra!™ Transmitter Installation and Operation Operation Alarm Reporting The RF-O! transmitter constantly monitors the various components of the transmitter for conditions that may degrade or interrupt normal messaging traffic. When such a condition is detected, the appropriate error code is added to the error log (RFO FIPS: a 104). In cases, where the transmitter must cutback or shutdown, an alarm is added to the alarm log (RFO FIPS: a 99).

The I and Q Offset are RFO FIPS: parameters 979 and 980, respectively. As the temperature of the station changes, the CFT component can change.
RF-Orchestra!™ Transmitter Installation and Operation Operation Semiautomatic Carrier Feedthrough Nulling This method requires a single FIPS command to initiate and execute the CFT nulling (RFO FIPS: a 74). This method is normally performed during alignment and at a specified interval thereafter. Normal paging traffic is halted for up to 30 seconds, while the Semi-automatic Carrier Feedthrough Nulling is performed.
Operation RF-Orchestra!™ Transmitter Installation and Operation values have been stored in the Exciter EEPROM, subsequent resets of the station will not require additional “complete” CFT nullings. If the “complete” nulling is unsuccessful (due to bad exciter, or transmitter becomes disabled, etc.), a “CFT Nulling Failed” error will be logged. The RFO will repeat nulling attempts at all subsequent opportunities, and will continue to log “CFT Nulling Failed” errors as they occur.
RF-Orchestra!™ Transmitter Installation and Operation Operation To enable DC Offset Training, write parameter 998 to 2 (RFO FIPS: w 998 2). Power Control (RFO FIPS: w 992 1) must be enabled for DC Offset Training to function properly Note: Power control is enabled upon every station reset. It should only be disabled for testing purposes. RF-O! Ambient Temperature Monitoring The RF-O! transmitter monitors the ambient (room) temperature, with a sensor located just behind the LEDs on the OCM board.
Operation RF-Orchestra!™ Transmitter Installation and Operation For all Ambient Temperatures falling between the values programmed in parameters 3001 and 3002, the following equation applies, with the assumption that the value stored in parameter 3002 is greater than that stored in parameter 3001: CutbackAmount (in dB) = Param3003 * ((CurrentAmbTemp – Param3001)/(Param3002 – Param3001)) Param3001 = Ambient Temperature Power Derate Start (default: +45 C) Param3002 = Ambient Temperature Power Shutdown (defa
RF-Orchestra!™ Transmitter Installation and Operation Operation CutbackAmount (in dB) = Param3003 * ((CurrentAmbTemp – Param3001)/(Param3002 – Param3001)) CutbackAmount = 3.0dB* (50-45)/(60-45) CutbackAmount = 3.0dB* (50-45)/(60-45) CutbackAmount = 1.0 dB, when the Ambient Temperature is +50. When the Ambient Temperature is less than Param3001, there is no cutback. When it is greater than Param3002, the transmitter is shutdown (disabled).
Operation RF-Orchestra!™ Transmitter Installation and Operation If any of the PA Temperatures exceeds the Ambient Temperature by an amount greater than the value configured by the user (Parameter 1025 – PA vs. Ambient Temp Shutdown Offset), an error is logged, an alarm is logged, and the transmitter is disabled (shutdown). Either the cutback or shutdown conditions can clear if the PA temperature drops (or the Ambient Temperature rises). High PA vs.
RF-Orchestra!™ Transmitter Installation and Operation Operation By default, the RFO is programmed to shutdown whenever one or more of the installed PA’s heatsink temperature is more than 45 degrees C higher than the Ambient Temperature. For testing purposes, it may be necessary to change this value. To modify the PA vs Ambient Temperature Shutdown Offset, write a value to parameter 1024.
