AFTER THE INPUT VOLTAGE HAS BEEN SHUT OFF. ELECTRICAL SHOCK IS POS-
SIBLE.
6.12.11 CPLR_NC, Coupler Cable Not Connected
This fault is active anytime the sample cable from the Forward power directional
coupler to the Life Support Board is disconnected. The fault immediately mutes the
transmitter until the cable is re-connected due to the effect this would have on the
Automatic Power Control (APC) loop.
6.12.12 IPA_MUTE, Fault
This fault could be for IPA_AB1, IPA_AB2, IPA_CD1 or IPA_CD2. Whenever the
IPAs are muted, the control system checks the current draw by each IPA. If the current
is not less than 1 amp, then the system does not have the ability to shut off the IPA and
will mute the system by shutting off the PAs and the RF Sources.
6.12.13 IPA_xx#_LOW, (Power) Fault
If one of the IPAs should be putting out power, but is not according to the IPA
directional coupler sample (from the IPA Backplane Board), the controller will switch
to the second IPA (provided it has not previously faulted off). The controller looks to
see if the exciter or IPA is muted before reporting this fault.
6.12.14 IPA_xx#_OC, Fault
This IPA Over-Current fault could be for IPA_AB or IPA_CD. The overcurrent
threshold is 14.0 amps. If this IPA current limit is exceeded, the transmitter will
automatically switch over to the second IPA.
6.12.15 IPA_xx#_OT, Fault
If the IPA amplifier temperature exceeds 100°C, as detected by the thermal sensor on
the amplifier, the transmitter will initiate a switch to the other IPA. If one of the
thermistors or its wiring is shorted the temperature indication will be approximately
155°C or higher.
6.12.16 IPA_xx#_OUT, Fault
This fault indicates that one or more of the IPAs is not physically plugged into the
connector. Each amplifier has 2 edge connections which are slightly shorter than the
others. These are used for interlocking. If the amplifier is not inserted far enough into
the connector, these 2 pins will not make contact and the amplifier will not be activated.
The control system will switch to the alternate pair of IPAs if they are not faulted also.
