REPEATER OPERATION
TIMEOUT TIMER
Command Form:
(PW) 40 (.1 - 54.6 min/000 = infinity) *
Description:
This command controls the maximum amount of time that an input carrier
signal may be present. The timeout timer starts timing when the COR
becomes active, and continues to run until reset. The timeout timer is reset
either by command or by releasing the carrier signal until the courtesy time
elapses.
Enter one, two, or three digits from 1 to 546 to set the timeout timer to 0.1 to
54.6 minutes. To disable the timer completely, enter three zeroes.
Acknowledge:
OK
Errors:
? ERR 1
wrong number of digits entered
? ERR 2
illegal digit entered
Default Condition:
3.0 minutes
Examples:
To change the timeout timer from its existing value to 4.5 minutes, enter:
(PW) 40 45 *
To change the timeout timer to 10.0 minutes, enter:
(PW) 40 100 *
To set the timer for infinity (no timeout), enter:
(PW) 40 000 *
Remember, the amount of time entered is in minutes and tenths of minutes.
Therefore, entering (PW) 40 3 * will set the timer to 0.3 minutes (18
seconds). If you want 3.0 minutes, be sure to enter (PW) 40 30 *.
Leading zeroes are permitted. Therefore, entering
(PW) 40 30 *
is the same as entering
(PW) 40 030 *
