Section 4 Overall System Theory
is sent to AND gate U6-1. U6-2 is connected to the MASTER_NORMAL line. This
line will be high only if the Master Controller has failed, which is the case here for Life
Support Mode. Therefore the LS_SYST_FAULT will cause U6-3 to go high. Next, OR
gates U33-3 and U33-6 will also go high, making U16-10 output high. This is
connected to the RESET side of latching relay, K4. When K4 resets, K4-14 will go low,
which will send a low to the Low Voltage Power Supply Board, via U16-12. The main
AC contactor will disengage and the transmitter will be shut off.
It is important to note that if the Master controller is working, then U6-3 would not go
high and therefore the LS_SYST_FAULT is not active. This is due to the fact that the
Master Controller has the primary responsibility for VSWR protection. This circuit only
has function when the Master Controller has failed and the transmitter is running in the
Life Support Mode.
4.8.7.2.3 IPA Current Fault
While in Life Support Mode, IPA Current overload protection is accomplished using
comparator U3-1 and IPA Current Fault Adjust, R23. R23 is set for a conservative IPA
current level. If the IPA current is too high, U3-1 will go low. This is tied into the
LS_SYST_FAULT circuit at U7-6 discussed earlier and will shut the transmitter off.
The proper adjustment for R23 can be found in Section V, under Replacement of the
Life Support Board.
