These values are set at the Factory

Factory Jumper. These values are set
by Com-Power Technician for safety
purposes to protect the amplifier. If
either setting is exceeded, a fault is
generated.
VSWR Alarm
(Read Only in Run Mode)
VSWR Alarm: XX.X dB
The VSWR Alarm Threshold represents
the difference between the
forward
power
and the
reflected power
(in
dBm). A higher value here represents
a configuration that is more sensitive
to VSWR.
