15.  Using the LEFT/RIGHT cursors, select D9. 

16.  Using the INC/DEC keys and the LEFT/RIGHT cursors, change D9 to 00 and then press 

ENTER. 

17.  On the receiver side of the front panel, press OVHD and observe that the values of D7, D8, 

and D9 are once again zero. 

Continuous Alarms (STSX1) 

This section of the procedure ensures that the continuous alarm settings are functioning properly. 
Leave everything set-up as it was in the last section.  There are thirty-five steps in this section of 
the procedure. 

 

1.   On the transmitter side of the front panel, press ALARM until the display shows the Errored 

Frame menu. 

2.    Using the LEFT/RIGHT cursors, select CONT and then press ENTER. 

3.    On the receiver’s STATUS section of the front panel, observe that the following error lights 

appear.  Note: If a red LED remains lit, then the error or alarm is still occuring.  If a LED 
under the POINTER heading remains lit, then the condition is still occuring. 

 

 

A.   

Under the SECTION heading, the red LEDs for LOF, OOF,  

 

 

 

and B1 remain lit. 

 

 

B.   

Under the LINE heading, the red LEDs for AIS, LOP, RDI,  

 

 

 

and B2 remain lit.  The red LEDs for AIS, LOP, and RDI  

 

 

 may 

flash. 

 

 

C.   

Under the PATH heading, the red LEDs for RDI, FEBE, and  

 

 

 

B3 remain lit.  The red LED for RDI may flash. 

 

 

D.   

Under the PAYLOAD/DS1/DS3 heading, the red LEDs for  

 

 

 

LOF, PAR, SYNC, and BIT remain lit. 

 

 

E.   

Under the SPE section of the POINTER heading, the yellow  

 

 

 

LED for NDF remains lit and the green LEDs for +PJ and    

 

 

 

-PJ remain lit. 

 

4.   Using the LEFT/RIGHT cursors, select OFF and then press ENTER. 

 

5.    Press RUN/STOP twice to clear all errors. 

6.    On the transmitter side of the front panel, press ALARM until the display shows the Line-

RDI (FERF) menu. 

7.    Using the LEFT/RIGHT cursors, select CONT and then press ENTER. 

8.    On the receiver’s STATUS section of the front panel, under the LINE heading, observe that 

the red LED for FERF remains lit. 

 9.   Using the LEFT/RIGHT cursors, select OFF and then press ENTER. 

10.  Press RUN/STOP twice to clear all errors.
