Figure 2.80: Transmitter Status page
The
Transmitter Status
page displays all active transmitter alarms. Alarms are listed by their host
device (
Controller or Exciter
), alarm name and severity level [a single orange ! indicates low severity
(RF output not affected); a single red ! indicates medium severity (RF output is reduced); three red !
indicates high severity (RF output is inhibited)]. Refer to the VS1 Troubleshooting Manual for
detailed information on alarm details such as root cause and troubleshooting tips.
Click the
Reset
button at the bottom of any AUI screen to attempt to clear any latching alarms that
are holding the transmitter in an “off-air” state (see Reset: on page 2-18 ). If the offending alarm has
cleared, the transmitter should resume operation.
