Alarm and Warning Events
In ETL0W474G many measures have different threshold values configured and stored in the EEPROM.
Different values are configured for DTV and ATV operating mode.
When the actual values of these measures are not located within the thresholds set, a warning or an
alarm event occurs. The occurrence of warning and alarm events depends on the type of threshold
violated.
The following explains what happens to the Amplifier when a warning or an alarm event occurs.
WARNING EVENT:
WARNING EVENT:
WARNING EVENT:
WARNING EVENT:
Amplifier operation is not interrupted. The power supply of the final modules of the amplifier is reduced
by about 13%. This reduces by about 25% the RF output power of the ETL0W474G Amplifier.
ALARM EVENT:
ALARM EVENT:
ALARM EVENT:
ALARM EVENT:
Shutdown of the power supply of the final modules of the amplifier. The amplifier is disabled, no RF
output power is available.
The threshold values of the measure can be seen by RS-232 connection.
An example of what appear on PC's display is reported in Figure 9. NOTE: Values shown in this picture

Warning and alarm events may occur immediately or delayed with respect to the instant in which the
threshold is violated. Delayed warning events occur 10 seconds after the threshold violation whereas
delayed alarm occurs 5 second after the threshold violation.
For some measures is also provided a “Low” threshold value. This is the threshold at which the value of
the measure must be drop after a warning or an alarm event to restore the standard operating mode. If
