Error Indication 

When  performing  a  tuning  cycle,  there  are  several  conditions  that  may  occur  that  cause  the 

tune  to  fail.  All  are  reported  as  an  error,  via  blinking  the  front  panel  LEDs  in  a  particular  fashion. 
The  following  errors are reported:   

 

ERR_NO_MATCH: 

Unable  to  find  a  suitable  match.  Upon  completing  an  entire  full 

tuning  cycle,  no combination  of inductors  and capacitors  was able to bring  the  SWR below  3.5:1. 

 

ERR_NO_RF: 

No  RF  power  was  present  at  the  beginning  of  a  tuning  cycle.  In  other 

words, the 

Tune

 button  was pressed to request  a tune  cycle,  but  the transmitter  was not  keyed up. 

 

ERR_LOST_RF: 

RF  power  disappeared  before  the  tuning  cycle  completed.  You  must 

continue  to key the radio  until  the  tuning  cycle  completes. 

 

ERR_NO_FREQ: 

Unable  to  determine  operating  frequency.  In  order  to  store  a  memory 

match,  the  frequency  of the  transmitted  RF must  be known.   

 

ERR_SWR_PWR: 

Relay  protection  activated.  Because  the  relays  may  be  damaged  if  they 

are  switching  during  high  power  operation,  software  prevents  the  relays  from  toggling  under 
certain  conditions.  Relays  will  not  toggle  if  the  SWR  is  over  3.0:1  while  the  power  is  over  125 
watts. 

Remember  that  under  no  circumstances  should  you  transmit  more  than  125  watts 

through  the AT-100ProII.

 

The  diagrams  on the next  page show  what  the various  error indications  look like.
