Channel Menu Instructions:
70 – AutoScan mode/Channel Alarm enable:
This function lets you add or remove the current
channel to the group of channels that are spoken during a channel AutoScan (00). Autoscan
must be enabled for a channel to report alarms. Enter Zero (0) to attach this channel
to the AutoScan group. Enter One (1) to disable scanning of this channel. Example: 70, Sicon
beeps, 0, Sicon beeps twice. This channel is now part of the AutoScan group and AutoScan
setup is now ended. You must enter 70 again if you change you mind.
Removing a channel from
Autoscan can be a convenient way to silence all alarms on that channel.
See also #74 for disabling specific alarms.
71 – Setup metering.
This function lets you configure various metering modes and values.
When entering the meter setup mode you have five initial options:
0 = Linear metering mode. (this mode is direct reading without scaling- Like a talking Voltmeter)
1 = Linear with “scaling” metering mode. This is the most common metering mode.
2 = Reserved for future
3 =
Power mode. For reading power meters.
This is the second most common type of metering mode.
4 =
Log scale mode
5 = Indirect Calculation.
This mode uses two metering inputs and a multiplier to calculate a value. Indirect mode is
commonly used to calculate a radio or TV station’s operating power as specified in the license. One channel must be the
currently selected channel. You must provide an input sample to the channel for the Sicon-8 to use. For instance, if you
have transmitter plate Voltage on meter # 1 and Plate current on meter #2, you must parallel either the plate Voltage or the
plate current sample to the currently selected metering channel. The Sicon-8 will be multiplying the current metering
channel input with the other channel and applying a scaling factor to calculate the reading.
Setup: Sicon-8 beeps once. Choose the units identifier by selecting 0 to 9. Sicon beeps twice.
Setup is identical to “Linear with Scaling above: The Sicon-8 beeps once. Enter actual value of the physical
meter (the appropriate meter on the transmitter) that is associated with this channel. The Asterisk (*) places a
decimal. Use the # key to end the entry. The Sicon-8 speaks the value that you entered back. Press 1 to confirm
or 0 to re-enter. The Sicon-8 will take a sample reading, AutoScale its meter and then beep once. Choose the
units identifier by selecting 0-9. The Sicon-8 beeps twice indicating completion of that metering channel setup.
