Alarm interface module
The Alarm/Indicate Board provides:
•
Status indicator via Form-C relay contacts: FAULT
•
High Reflected Power shutdown (resulting in FAULT condition)
•
Overdrive shutdown (an overdrive shutdown will typically occur when gain dropped between 1 and 5 dB
relative to the linear gain) resulting also in a FAULT condition
The Alarm/Indicate board is connected between the microwave booster amplifier and the customer interface.
SAFETY FEATURES
Input Overdrive Protection
The amplifier is equipped with circuitry that prevents damage caused by input overdrive situations. These
SSBs are capable of tolerating an input signal of 35 dBm without damage to any internal components.
Thermal Alarms and Faults
A thermal shutdown feature is incorporated into the system in order to protect the amplifier from permanent
damage. The thermal shutdown feature operates at a baseplate temperature of 85° C and is self-healing.
When the baseplate temperature drops to below 65° C, the amplifier re-starts automatically. A thermal
shutdown is always preceded by a thermal alarm, which is activated at a baseplate temperature of
approximately 75° C.
High Reflected Power
The output isolator in the output arm of the AWSB-K SSB series is designed to withstand high reflected RF
power. The amplifier is shutdown when the reflected power is more than 25% of the rated output power. An
amplifier that has been shutdown due to high load VSWR must be restarted manually.
