Changing Exciter Transfer Settings
If your transmitter contains dual exciters and is configured to operate with dual exciters, you can
control the auto exciter transfer function using the AUI (see
Exciter Changeover Settings - using the AUI )
or using the controller UI (see Exciter Changeover Settings - using the Controller UI, on page 3.2.135 ).
Exciter Changeover Settings - using the AUI
To view the Changeover page (see Figure 3.2.117 ), select Changeover from the Menu options or
press on the Active Exciter area in the top, right-hand corner of the AUI. The Changeover page is only
displayed on the Main Menu window and the Active Exciter shortcut is only available when dual
exciters are installed and configured.
NOTE
: In order to edit any changeover settings, the transmitter must be configured for
Dual Exciter (A/
B)
in the controller UI’s Installed Exc screen (see Installed Exciter, on page 3.2.121 ).
