: 40 watts

+10%, -10%

Factory-settable down
to 10 watts as per cus-
tomer request.

TX Deviation

Press
 

TXON (Modulated)

  

Carrier will be modu-
lated with a 1 kHz
tone.

Full channel unit

19.2 and 16 kb/s:

±4.0 kHz

9.6 kb/s:

±3.0 kHz

Half channel unit

9.6 kb/s:

±2.5 kHz

Tolerance is +5%, -10%
for all bit rates.

Service monitor
set to read
deviation

 (IF filter set to
Mid or 30 kHz
position)

Refer to factory technical support.

5

RF Link test

"Ping" a base station

“Ping Successful”

as per sections

4.4.4.4

Check on the RIS RSSI bar graph

if the base station is within range

(i.e. better than -107dBm)   or

Refer to factory technical support.

6

Set the service monitor to generate at the levels mentioned below. The carrier generated should be modu-

lated with a 1.0 kHz tone at deviation of +/- 4.0kHz (full ch.) or +/-2.5kHz (half ch.).

7

Main Receiver

RSSI checks

-70dBm
-110dBm
-120dBm

- 70 dBm  +/-3
-110  dBm +/-3
-120 dBm +/- 3

RIS bar graph

Refer to factory technical support.

The RSSI checks give a good
indication of receivers' health.

8

Aux Receiver

repeat as per step 7

same as step 7

RIS bar graph

Refer to factory technical support.

1 (unless you have set a lower value). Note that readings less than 40 watts may be due to losses in cables used for testing.

Check also your wattmeter frequency calibration curve. Do not be too ready to condemn the transmitter.
