3.3.4 RF Test
A very thorough RF test can be made by typing TEST[CR]. TEST causes the processor to turn
the transmitter ON and measures the forward and reverse RF power that is being transmitted. It
also measures the battery voltage under load and the antenna noise voltage.
The following response will be displayed on the operator terminal:
Syncs Xmits Acks pwr-fwd pwr-rev v-bat det-RF
XXXX YYYY ZZZZ AAAA BBBB CCC DDD
where:
XXXX
=
# of sync patterns received from the master station.
YYYY
=
# of transmissions made by the MCC-545C.
ZZZZ
=
# of Acknowledgements received from master station.
AAAA
= Forward power in watts. This should be greater than 80 watts.
BBBB
= Reflected power in watts. This should be less than 5 watts.
CCC
= Battery voltage under load (while transmitting). This should be greater
than 10.6 V
DC
.
DDD
= Received signal strength in dbm. This will normally be the noise level
at the antenna.
Troubleshooting Suggestions
If the battery voltage is normal, the forward RF power should be at least 80 watts. If it is lower
than 80 watts check for proper cabling to the power source. (see Section 3.2.2.1).
If the reverse RF power is greater than 5 watts check the antenna and coaxial cabling for proper
installation.
If both the forward and reverse power are low, the transmitter may be automatically shutting
down due to an antenna VSWR greater than 3:1. Check the antenna and coaxial cabling for
proper installation.
This completes the power-up sequence of the MCC-545C. The unit is now ready for operation.
Refer to Chapter 4 for detailed operating instructions.
