3.6.7 Setting RF Monitor Limits
High and low power thresholds, low
modulation threshold and loss of keying can
be set to ensure the transmitter is operating
within acceptable limits. If the RF carrier is
outside these limits for a pre-defined delay
period, the transmitter initiates a changeover
to the standby side (in normal operation) or
continues to operate (in bypass mode). Set
the transmitter’s RF monitor limits as follows:
NOTE
International Civil Aviation Organization
(ICAO) standards dictate the transmitter be
turned off or a warning alarm be generated
when the RF output decreases by 3.0 dB or
increases by 2.0 dB from the intended carrier
level. The user can alter the monitor settings
provided these criteria are still met.
