BoostPro Faults
The BoostPro front panel LED will illuminate red if a fault condition is detected. Press
INFO, then FAULT SUBMENU to view a listing of statuses where the malfunction
would be indicated by the word FAULT.

present, the condition causing the malfuntion will need to be identified and corrected.
6.8.0.1
3-Strike Faults
To prevent temporary fluctuations in power, temperature, current, or voltage from
causing nuisance fault-off conditions, a 3-strike routine is programmed into the sensing
circuits. If any of the following faults are indicated, it is because 3 separate momentary
fault conditions over a specified period of time, or a continuous fault condition over a
specified time has occured.
VSWR TRIP: Reflected power overload, based on the TX type and modulation
defined in the master configuration file.
FWD PWR TRIP: Forward power overload, based on the TX type and modulation
defined in the master configuration file.
PA TEMP: 90°C threshold exceeded - Fault off.
PA CURR: 6.4A threshold exceeded - Fault off.
PA OVER V: 28.8V (120% Nominal voltage) Threshold exceeded - Fault off.
PA UNDER V: 19.2V (80% Nominal voltage) Threshold exceeded - Fault off.
6.8.0.2
Other Faults
FAN TACH: FAN tachometer indicates a low speed, or no operation fan condition -
Fault off.
APC UNLOCK: The difference between the power sense and the ALC reference is
greater than 50 counts, lasting for more than 2 - 5 seconds - Fault off.
