 MAINTENANCE 

6.1.     Indication of fault conditions 

 

OM4000 HF has the following indication LED on the front panel:  
 
GRID MIN 

 

-  Indication of first gird current 

GRID MAX   

-  Max. First grid current exceeded  

HV 

 

 

-  Measuring of anode voltage by bar graph 

IP 

 

 

-  Measuring of anode currency by bar graph  

FAULT 

 

-  Fault 

OPR   

 

-  Amplifier in operation mode 

STBY   

 

-  Amplifier in standby mode 

WAIT  

 

-  Heating of tube after switching on the amplifier  

 
 
 

NOTE 

Should  a  fault  condition  appear  during  the  tuning  or  operation  of  the  amplifier,  the  safety 
circuits of OM4000 HF will react. The amplifier will be turned to STBY mode. After abt. 2 sec 
the control circuits will switch the amplifier back to OPR.  
 
 

CAUTION 

If the fault will repeat 3 times after each other the control circuits will turn the amplifier 
to STBY. Bringing the amplifier to OPR is enabled by using the OPR/STBY switch only.  

 
 
After reaction of safety circuits, the FAULT LED will be lit up for approx. 5 sec, depending on 
the nature of the fault.   
 
 
Flashing LED signalizes: 
 
IP 

 

 

-  Anode currency exceeded 

HV 

 

 

-  Low anode voltage 

FAULT 

 

-  Reflected output exceeded 

GRID MAX   

-  Grid currency exceeded 

-  Screen currency exceeded 

GRID MAX + HV 

-  Maximum load power exceeded 

GRID MAX + IP 

-  Zero output power during tuning  

HV + IP 

 

-  Tuning fault, incorrect tuning of the Pi-L output circuit 

 
 

 

In the case when your OM4000 HF amplifier is not working correctly, please contact the 
manufacturer or your dealer.
