Alarms and Error Messages RF-Orchestra!™ Transmitter Installation and Operation
F-16 6880493G02-C July 2000
E_PA_HS_TEMPERATURE_FAIL_DECK_1
Power amplifier 1 heat sink temperature exceeded the
ambient temperature of the OCM by more than the
amount specified by Parameter 1024 or 1025.
Beginning with RF-O! transmitter 1.2.2, when Power
Control is Enabled, exceeding parameter 1024 (PA vs.
Ambient Temp Shutdown Offset), the transmitter will
become disabled (shutdown) until the temperature of
the PA deck lowers sufficiently.
Major
Verify all fans are operational. Verify
proper settings of parameters 1024 and
1025. Verify proper calibration of Ambient
Temperature Sensor on OCM. (Check
current Ambient Temperature by reading
parameter Contact Motorola.
E_PA_HS_TEMPERATURE_FAIL_DECK_2
Power Amplifier 2 Heat Sink Temperature Has
Exceeded the Ambient Temperature of the OCM by
more than the amount specified by Parameter 1024 or
1025. See “PA_HS_TEMPERATURE_FAIL_DECK_1”
Major
See “PA_HS_TEMPERATURE_FAIL_
DECK_1”
E_PA_INITIALIZATION_FAILED
During startup, or when enabling Power Control, the
RF-O! transmitter software was unable to read the PA
EEPROM(s), and/or Analog to Digital Converters.
Major
Verify proper installation of PA deck(s)
and wiring. Verify all power supplies are
turned on and functioning. Verify PA SPI
cable is properly connected.
E_PA_TEMP_CUTBACK_ALARM
The temperature of a PA exceeded the Ambient
Temperature at the OCM temperature sensor, by more
than the configured 3 dB Cutback amount (See
Parameter 1025).
Major
Verify Ambient Temperature Sensor is
properly calibrated. Read Parameter
1026 to see current ambient temperature
reading (if it appears too low, shutdown
may not be warranted). Use RFO FIPS: a
192 SHMI 4 trace to see PA and Ambient
Temperature readings. Verify fans are
working properly.
E_PA_TEMP_SHUTDOWN_ALARM
The temperature of a PA exceeded the Ambient
Temperature at the OCM temperature sensor, by more
than the configured Shutdown amount (See Parameter
1024).
Major
Verify Ambient Temperature Sensor is
properly calibrated. Read Parameter
1026 to see current ambient temperature
reading (if it appears too low, shutdown
may not be warranted). Use RFO FIPS: a
192 SHMI 4 trace to see PA and Ambient
Temperature readings.
Verify fans are working properly.
