Press the HOME button to return to the HOME screen to monitor FWD power With 
the AGC engaged, the FWD power metering may vary up to +/- 5%, so for a 1500W 
TPO, meter variations from 1425W to 1575W may be experienced.

For Dual Exciter  TX configurations, test the Exciter switchover behavior by 
pressing the A/B icon on the Controller touchscreen and initiating an Exciter 
Changeover by selecting EXCITER B, and confirming the changeover when asked. 
The power will drop and the exciter changeover will initiate. Once again, allow 45 
to 60 seconds for the transmitter to reach operating power. Make the same 
performance checks as just outlined for Exciter A. 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

10.

 

Your TX should now be up and running properly into your load or on-air antenna. 
Continue to monitor system parameters as you allow the transmitter to warm up to 
temperature and stabilize at full output power for another 30 minutes.
