Ramp-Up Speed Setting
NOTE
: The ramp-up speed setting is only available using the controller UI.
From the controller UI, you can set the transmitter’s ramp-up speed. This setting establishes the time it
takes the transmitter to ramp up from 0 W to full power. At 100%, ramp-up speed is approximately
seven seconds. For a setting of 50%, ramp-up would be approximately 14 seconds. For a setting of
25%, ramp-up would be approximately 28 seconds. In multi-transmitter systems that are on a common
generator or power grid, adjusting the ramp-up speed can be used to reduce the transient load on the
source during an ac power recovery (i.e., after a power failure or changeover to a generator).
