RF-Orchestra!™ Transmitter Installation and Operation Installation

Powering Up the RF-O! Paging Station
Perform the following procedure to verify proper operation of the RF-O! paging station
during power up (see Figure 4-10). Refer to the appropriate manuals cited in Chapter 1,
Related Publications for the RF-B! transmitter controller, RF-A! receiver, and any network
peripherals that are not supported in this manual.
Note: If a third-party controller is installed, refer to the appropriate installation and operation
manuals before proceeding.
Note: Numbers in parentheses correspond to the numbers shown in Figure 4-10.
1. Place the main AC power distribution unit circuit breaker switch (1) in the ON position.
2. Place the TX and AUX circuit breaker switches (2, 3) in the ON position.
Note: The green LED on the AC distribution panel indicates the surge suppression is functional.
3. Place the ON/OFF switch (4) of each power supply module (qty=2) in the ON position.
Note: Placing any AC power switch in the ON position supplies power to the RF-O! paging station
and the RF-B! transmitter controller chassis.
4. Place the RF-B! transmitter controller ON/OFF switch (5) to the ON position (|).
a. Verify that all the RF-B! transmitter controller LEDs briefly light during power up.
b. After about one minute, verify that CONTROL ON and ALARM are the only RF-B!
LEDs still lit.
c. After about 60 minutes, verify the RF-B! GPS LOCK and RFB REQ LEDs are lit.
Note: When powering up the RF-B! transmitter controller for the first time at a location, ensure that
power is uninterrupted for at least 60 minutes. This uninterrupted time allows the GPS
receiver time to determine its location (lock on to the appropriate satellites). After the receiver
determines its initial location, the GPS receiver lock time typically takes from 2 to 3 minutes
after a system reset, or 10 to 15 minutes after a power cycle.
Note: Refer to the RF-B! manual for details on how to use FIPS to monitor GPS satellite acquisition
status.
