A VSWR condition causes a RED “VSWR Fault” indication by
forcing the Q output of the Pulse Stretcher or the Latch HIGH
and the output of OR gate U37-11 HIGH.
Q.5.4.5
VSWR Self-Test Circuit
The “VSWR Self-Test” performs a test of VSWR logic AUTO-
MATICALLY each time AC power is applied to the transmitter.
The operator can also perform a VSWR Self-Test MANUALLY
at any time. The “Self-test” results are available on a Color-
Stat™ panel indicator, or as a remote “VSWR Self-Test
Pass/Fail” indication.
If all VSWR logic on the Output Monitor and LED Board is
working properly when a VSWR Self-Test is performed, BOTH
the “Antenna” and “Bandpass” indicators will indicate RED for
one-half second and the “VSWR Sensor Status” will flash RED
momentarily, then all three indicators will indicate GREEN.
If either the “Antenna” or “Bandpass” indicator remains RED,
a VSWR logic fault is indicated. The transmitter should not be
operated until the VSWR logic faults are corrected.
Q.5.4.6
VSWR Self-Test, Circuit Description
The following circuit descriptions refer to Figure Q-6, VSWR
Self-Test Circuit, Simplified Functional Diagram, or to sheet 2
of the LED Board schematic diagram.
Any time a VSWR self-test is initiated, a 10 millisecond logic
LOW pulse is generated by one-shots U29A/B. This logic LOW
pulse to the Output Monitor activates a circuit which simulates
a VSWR “hit” by ap5 VDC to both VSWR detector
inputs on the Output Monitor.
At the same time, a 0.5 millisecond logic LOW pulse is gener-
ated to “reset,” then “clock” latch U42A on the LED Board.
Latch U42A is both a VSWR Self-Test “Detector” and Status
Indicator latch. If all VSWR logic is operating properly, a
“VSWR Fault-H” logic signal will appear at the D input before
the Latch “Clock” input occurs. When the latch is “clocked,” the
Q output will go HIGH and the NOT-Q output will go LOW.
The latch output will then illuminate only the GREEN LED
section and there will be NO remote “VSWR Self-Test Indicate”
output.
If NO VSWR “Hit” is detected, indicating a logic fault, the D
input will be LOW. When the latch is “clocked,” the Q output
will go LOW and the NOT-Q output will go HIGH. The Color-
Stat™ panel LED will indicate RED and a logic HIGH output
will be sent to the External Interface to provide a “VSWR
Self-Test Indicate” output.
Q.5.4.6.1
Manual VSWR Self-Test Inputs
Depressing the “Manual Test” switch (S2) on the ColorStat™
panel will ground U25-9 and the output (pin 8) will go LOW.
The other input to this U25 gate is controlled through the
External Interface board. A HIGH-to LOW transition at the A
input will trigger One-Shot U29B. The One-Shot will generate
two 10 millisecond logic pulses at its outputs, a logic HIGH
pulse at its Q output (pin 5) and a logic LOW pulse at its NOT-Q
output (pin 12).
Q.5.4.6.2
“Turn-on Induced” VSWR Self-Test Input Circuit
Each time AC power is applied or re-applied to the transmitter,
the “Supply Fault-L” signal from the Controller goes from LOW
to HIGH after a delay of a few seconds. Buffer/Driver U25-11
and an R-C network delay the transition to allow the CLEAR
inputs of one-shots U29A/B in the VSWR logic to go HIGH,
then the LOW-to-HIGH transition at the “B” input triggers
one-shot U29A. When triggered, one-shot U29A generates 10
millisecond pulses at its Q and NOT-Q outputs (pins 13 and 4).
Q.5.4.6.3
Self-Test Pulse To Output Monitor
Refer to Figure Q-6. A logic LOW pulse from either the turn-on
induced self test one-shot U29A or the manual self-test one shot
U29B causes U25-6 to go LOW. This is the self-test pulse to the
output monitor.
Each time a 10 millisecond logic HIGH pulse goes to the Output
Monitor from U29A/B, a 0.5 msec logic LOW pulse is generated
by U50-11 and U8-8.

Conditions are:
Normal:
Normal operation (no faults)
1st:
Fault starts first one-shot (Cycles transmitter OFF for 4.7 seconds then starts turn-on sequence).
2nd:
Second one-shot starts 2-1/2 second time-out.
Repeat: Repeated Fault occurred and Latch changed state.
Latch:
Both one-shots have timed out, but Fault Status is still Latched.
Note that when the RED LED is ON an External “Type 2 Fault” status output is also provided (this occurs for both YELLOW and
RED status panel indications).
