ALARM LED
The ALARM LED can indicate the detection of several different fault conditions by
the self test circuits. The alarm indicator shows the highest priority fault present.
Receivers using software issue 5 and higher use the cadence of the LED flash
sequence to indicate the alarm condition. Refer to table 1.
LED Flash Cadence
Fault Condition
5 flashes, pause
Synthesizer unlocked
4 flashes, pause
Tuning voltage outside limits
3 flashes, pause
Signal level below preset threshold (fixed link)
1 flash, pause
dc supply voltage low or high
LED ON continuously
External squelch is active
Table 1: Interpretations of LED flash cadence
Receivers using software issue 4 and lower use the LED flash rate to indicate the
alarm condition. Refer to table 2.
Indication
Fault condition
Flashing, 8 per second
Synthesizer unlocked
Flashing, 4 per second
Tuning voltage outside 2-7 Vdc
Flashing, 2 per second
Signal level below preset threshold (fixed links)
