Designated Power Amplifier’s current is
less than 10% of the Fourso
me’s avg.
current
. Could Indicate a failed PA, loss of
RF drive to that PA, a power supply
problem or a control problem.
Mute XMTR 120ms, switch out the PA and
release the mute on the other PAs.
A#_ISO

C#_ISO
D#_ISO
PA isolation load temperature > 130
o
C.
These loads are located on the Isolation
Boards connected to each Z-Plane. Can be
actual or Predicted temperature based on
rate of temperature rise.
Mute XMTR 120ms, switch out the PA and
release the mute on the rest of the PAs.
PAC#_ISOAZ
PAC#_ISOBZ
PAC#_ISOCZ
PAC#_ISODZ
Designated ISO load Temp > 130
o
C.
Means ISO_APC foldback has failed to
reduce temperature of the load.
Foldback level is 115
o
C.
Will follow the 3 Strike Routine (described
in Section 6). Press ON button to restart
transmitter.
NOTE: These are the large ceramic loads
in the middle of the Isolation Boards which
are used as the Isolation resistors for the 2
way combiners on each Z-Plane. Heating is
caused by PA imbalance.
PAC#_ISOAB
PAC#_ISOCD
Designated ISO load Temp > 130
o
C.
Means ISO_APC foldback has failed to
reduce temperature of the load.
Foldback level is 115
o
C.
Will follow the 3 Strike Routine (described
in Section 6). Press ON button to restart
transmitter.
NOTE: These are the reject loads on the
3dB hybrids which are combining the
designated Z-Planes. Heating is cause by
an imbalance between the Z-Plane outputs
(Phase or amplitude)
PAC#_ISOABCD
Designated ISO load Temp > 130
o
C.
Means ISO_APC foldback has failed to
reduce temperature of the load.
Foldback level is 115
o
C.
Will follow the 3 Strike Routine (described
in Section 6). Press ON button to restart
transmitter.
NOTE: This is the reject load on the 3dB
hybrid which is combining the outputs of the
hybrids. Heating is cause by an imbalance
between the power block outputs (Phase or
amplitude)
