Interlock Open Delay
The number of seconds a fault condition must be sustained before the
transmitter output power is interrupted via the interlock and a strike is logged by the Plus-X
VSWR. (In most cases this parameter is set to zero.)
•
Interlock Open Duration
After a strike is incurred, the number of seconds transmitter output
power is interrupted before the Plus-X VSWR automatically restores transmitter power and starts
to monitor for the next strike.
•
Interlock Open Retry
The number of strikes that may be incurred before a lockout is initiated
(maximum = 3).
•
Lockout Window
The amount of time during which the selected number of strikes must occur to
initiate lockout. If the maximum number of strikes does not occur by the end of the lockout
window, the strike counter is reset to zero.
•
Lockout Timeout
The number of minutes that a lockout shall be enforced before it is
automatically cleared. If set to Infinite, the lockout must be manually cleared by the user and will
never be automatically cleared.
The names Interlock Open Delay, Interlock Open Duration and Interlock Open Retry are all indicative of
interlock circuits wired in series. If the interlocks are wired in parallel, then these names would more
appropriately be Interlock Closed Delay, Interlock Closed Duration and Interlock Closed Retry.
INTERLOCK RELAY POLARITY
Determines if relays are used in normally open or normally closed mode.
RELAY CONTROL
Determines if relays for all transmission lines are toggled together or separately. If interlocks are controlled
together, a single fault on any one transmission line will activate interlock interrupts for all transmission
lines on the Plus-X VSWR unit.
