Note: 

 

The  acceptable  range  of  feedback  signal  from  port  [RF_IN_A]  or  [RF_IN_B]  is  -30  dBm  to  0 

dBm, and the recommended range is from -15 dBm to -5 dBm. 

 

Feedback Signal Connection Error 

 

 

Alarm message 

 

LCD:   

 

“FEEDBACK LINK ERROR! Press Any key to Esc” 

 

LED_ SysErr: Flashing (during the ADPC process) 

 

Dry Loop: 

0 V (SysErr Fault) 

 

Cause: Feedback signal connection is interrupted, or signal level changes dramatically during the 

ADPC process. 

 

Solution: Cancel the ADPC function manually and then check the connection and the level of the 

feedback signal. Start the ADPC function again after the problem is resolved. 

 

ADPC Error

 

 

Alarm message 

 

LCD: 

 

 

“ADPC ERROR! Press Any key to Esc” 

 

 

LED_ SysErr:  

ON (during ADPC process)   

 

Dry Loop: 

 

0 V (SysErr Fault) 

 

Cause: The measured IMD or SNR during ADPC process does not pass the pre-set threshold. 

 

Solution: Cancel the ADPC function manually and then check the status of connection and entire 

transmitting system. Start the ADPC function again after the problem is resolved. 

5.5 Other Problems 

 

Temperature 

 

Alarm message 

 

LCD: 

 

TEMP HIGH 

 

LED_ SysErr: ON 

 

Dry Loop: 

0 V (SysErr Fault) 

 

Cause: The Temperature of the exciter/translator is too high. 

 

Solution: Cool the exciter/translator. 

 

No RF output 

 

Alarm message 

 

LCD: 

 

None 

 

LED_ RFON:  Off 

 

Dry Loop: 

0 V (RF not Present) 

 

Cause: When in Translator Mode, the translator could MUTE its RF output on loss of input RF 

signal from port [TUNER_IN] or an unsuccessful demodulation by configuration. It’s designed 

so  to  protect  the  broadcasting  signal  purity  when  one  translator  has  a  bad  received  signal  or  a 

breakdown. And also RF output may have been turned off by front panel setting or via serial port 

or  WEB  interface.  Or  if  the  exciter/translator  itself  has  a  breakdown,  there  would  be  no  RF 

output too.
