Clearing the Error Logs on RF-O! Transmitter
Enter the RF-O! FIPS a 111 command to clear the RF-O! transmitter error log. Turning off the
RF-O! transmitter, resetting the station using RF-O! FIPS a 117 command, or pushing the
RESET button on the front panel will not clear the error logs.

Error and Description
Alarm
Severity
Action
E_1PPS_INITIAL_SEARCH_FAILURE
The Collector DSP has reported to the host that the
Xilinx is not detecting a 1 Pulse-Per-Second (1PPS)
signal.
NOTE: It is normal to experience these errors when
GPS on RF-B! transmitter controller is not locked
(within first 10 minutes of RF-B! transmitter controller
reset)
Critical
(Minor, if
after RF-B!
transmitter
controller
reset)
Check installation of GPS on RF-B!
transmitter controller. Verify antenna is
properly installed. Verify GPS tracking
status on RF-B! transmitter controller with
FIPS ‘a 208’ command. Check for recent
RF-B! transmitter controller reset.
NOTE: It is normal to experience these
errors when GPS on RF-B! transmitter
controller is not locked (within the first few
minutes of RF-B! transmitter controller
reset).
E_1PPS_WATCHDOG_FIRED
The GPS 1PPS is misaligned or absent.
Critical
See E_1PPS_INITIAL_SEARCH
_FAILURE above.
E_AMPLITUDE_NOT_ALIGNED
(formerly E_FM_NOT_ALIGNED)
The Amplitude Alignment parameters in the Exciter
EEPROM are invalid.
Beginning with RF-O! transmitter 1.2.2, if this error
condition is detected at startup, the transmitter will be
disabled by the RF-O! transmitter software. The
transmitter will be re-enabled, once Power Control is
Disabled, and the Amplitude Alignment is performed.
Critical
The Power Amplitude Alignment must be
performed (RFO FIPS: a 76) at the site.
Power Control must be disabled (W 992
0), prior to performing the Amplitude
Alignment. Use RFO FIPS: A83- Station
Status to determine Alignment/Calibration
status.
E_BAD_IMAGE_CRC
An application remote software download attempt
failed.
Critical
New software has not been downloaded.
User must reattempt. See download
procedure document for more details.
