4.Operate  the Program/Execute switch.  The display  will  now show the deviation setting 
(WIDE/NARROW):
           __________________        __________________
           _WIDE DEVIATION  _   or   _NARROW DEVIATION_
           __________________        __________________

If you wish to make a change, operate the vertical switch to toggle  the status.  When the display 
indicates the  desired condition,  press the Program/Execute switch a  final  time.  At  this time the 
changes you have made will become the  new settings for the channel. 

3-5.  ALARM INDICATIONS.
An alarm condition for either channel will:

Illuminate the alarm indicator (the indicator will blink  in the case of a transmitter overmodulation 
alarm),

Indicate the alarm status on the LCD display,

The  following  will  occur  for  all  alarm  conditions   except transmitter overmodulation 
alarm
:

Cause a form C relay closure to appear at the terminal block on the rear of the shelf for remote 
indication.

Mute  the output of the channel (composite in the case of  a receiver, or the subcarrier in a 
transmitter).

Alarms are:

Transmitter: CXR ALMif the carrier frequency deviates beyond predetermined limits. 

               

AFC ALMif the synthesizer is out of lock.

               

CXR AFCif both alarms are present.

               

OVERMODif the combined composite input  signals cause the internal deviation 

limiter  to activate (due to either excessive  input level  or  misadjustment  of  the  front panel 
DEViation control).
