Procedure to switch on the system
Switching on the main power switch placed on the core unit, the system will boot and the
Standby window will appear. Pushing the POWER button the system will switch between
Standby and Sleep mode. When the system is in Sleep mode it appears to be powered off,
but the electronics are still on, waiting for the actual Power On mode request. In order to
switch on the monitor and the keyboard, the operator has to press the POWER button, and
holding it for more than 3 seconds. An audible beep will sound and the green LED next to the
pushbutton will change to high brilliance.
In Power On mode, by pressing this pushbutton again (for more than 3 seconds), the moni-
tor and the keyboard are switched off again, another beep will sound and the green LED will
change back to low brilliance; the system is now in Sleep mode (to shut down the system
completely you need to switch off the main power switch of the core unit.
After switching on the system, the Standby window will be shown on the monitor and the
brilliance is automatically set to the lowest level in night colors. This feature is important in
case of switching on during the night to avoid a strong flash into the eyes of the operator. For
daylight operation, click on the centre mouse key or press the BRILL button to obtain the day
highlighted colors palette. The Standby window below provides informative data, such as:
•
TXRX Status (Standby, Short, Medium or Long Pulse, warm-up countdown, etc.)
•
Possible selection of Transceivers (with only one connected, no selection is possible)
•
Operation mode at the next TX ON (master or slave)
•
Magnetron and System Life Times (available only for TXRX version 54 or higher).
When the system is in Standby (Standby window visible in the centre of the screen and TX ON
yellow LED off ) the operator is allowed to switch on the RF transmission, using the TX ON but-
ton. In Standby the radar display does not require the TXRX to transmit, but the transmission
could be on due to the control by another display or the TXRX could also be in Local mode
in transmission (for more details regarding the Local/Remote mode refer to the transceiver
technical manual). In TX ON mode, the radar antenna (if Master) radiates and turns. This is the
normal working condition
(Standby to TX ON and TX ON to Standby switching are executed
at the release of the pushbutton).
Warning:
In TX ON condition, pressing the TX ON button the system will return to
Standby.
