3.3.2. A/B Exciter Icon Screen
Dual Exciters - Switching Screen : As mentioned above, pressing the “Exc A/B” icon will bring you to the
Dual Exciters Switching Screen, a shown below.
Manual Exciter Switchover : Exciter A is the default on-air exciter. The on-air exciter’s status will be
“GREEN”, as shown in the screen above, indicating that Exciter B is the current on-air exciter. Pressing
the “Exciter A” or “Exciter B” button on this screen will cause a manual switch between exciters, that is if
the PA is “linked” to both exciters. (Note: In a dual exciter configuration, both exciters are on at the same
time, producing an RF output signal a the same time, and the PA is considered “linked” with an exciter
when the PA detects an RF output present from the exciter as monitored).
Auto Exciter Switchover : In a Dual Drive configuration, the PA is set to auotmatically switch to the
standby exciter in the event a problem occurs with the on-air exciter. The PA will not automatically switch
back to the original Exciter as long as the standby Exciter is operating properly. However, the PA will
automatically switch back to the original Exciter in the event of a problem with the on-air (standby) exciter.
So the PA will continue to automatically switch to the standby exciter in the event of a problem with the
on-air exciter.
If neither of the exciters can be linked successfully (i.e. the PA does not detect a valid RF ouptut present
from either exciter), a window will pop up, indicating “No Exciter Linked”, as shown below.
