6.12.5 RFL_PWR, Reflected Power Fault
This fault is activated when the VSWR overload trip point is exceeded. This fault will
only show up if there is a large and quick change in the transmitter load impedance or if
the VSWR foldback setting is too close to the overload setting. The VSWR overload
should be set at 1.7:1 with the VSWR foldback setting normally at 1.30:1. A gradual
change in impedance should be caught by the VSWR foldback threshold and the
RFL_PWR fault will not occur, although the transmitter may be operating at a reduced
power. If the 1.7:1 VSWR overload threshold is exceeded, the transmitter will mute and
then very slowly ramp the power up until back at full power or until the foldback
threshold of 1.30:1 is exceeded. The controller will now try to keep the transmitter at its
maximum power level while staying below the foldback threshold. The Foldback light
on the front of the controller will be illuminated.
The VSWR Fault threshold is set via software in the Diagnostics Display Menu. To
check the VSWR Fault threshold press [CONFIGURATION, B, A, D, C]. Notice, this
setting can be changed using the ABCD buttons to the right of the display. To leave a
screen without saving any changes, press [HOME]. The default for this setting is
1.70:1. The VSWR foldback setting is under [CONFIGURATION, B, A, D, D] and
should be 1.30:1. For all system calibrations refer to Section V, Maintenance and
Alignment.
It is also possible that a VSWR fault could be caused by a defective forward or reflected
directional coupler or simply from calibration error. An external reflected power meter
should be used to verify if there is really a VSWR problem or if it is an internal sensor
problem. Keep in mind that the reflected reading will be less than 200 watts when the
transmitter is in foldback. This would barely be visible on a 7kW scale, but care should
be taken to avoid overloading a lower power element.
6.12.6 INTERLOCK, Fault
This fault is activated anytime the Interlock circuit is opened. An Interlock fault shuts
the transmitter off by disengaging the main AC contactor. There must be a closed
contact between the interlock connections in order for the transmitter to operate. This
fault also illuminates (not flashing) the Interlock Fault LED on the controller front
panel.See the Table 2-1 on page 2-38, for more information on Interlock Connections.
6.12.7 FAILSAFE, Fault
This fault will mute the transmitter output anytime the Failsafe contacts are opened.
There must be a closed contact between the failsafe contacts in order for the transmitter
to operate. This fault also flashes the Interlock Fault LED on the controller front panel.
See Table 2-1 on page 2-38 for more information on Failsafe Connections.
