3.7 FSK Mode Special
Considerations
The  UPLC-II™  frequency-shift  equipment  can
operate in either the two- or three-frequency mode.
The  three  basic  frequencies  are  as  follows  (see
Figure 3–21): 
f
C
Center frequency
f
H
High-frequency, is a frequency shift (Δf)
above f
C
f
L
Low-frequency,  is  a  frequency  shift  (Δf)
below f
C
The value of Δf  depends  on  the  bandwidth of the
UPLC-II™ set. For a bandwidth of 1200 Hz, Δf is
500  Hz.  A  bandwidth  of  300  Hz  yields  a  Δf  of
100 Hz,  while  the  600  Hz  bandwidth  Δf  can  be
either 250 or 100 Hz. The center channel frequency
(f
C
)  can  vary  from  30  to  535  kHz  (in  .01 kHz
steps).
In the  two-frequency systems,  only f
H
and f
L
are
used. The two frequencies function differently and
take on different labels when operating with the dif-
ferent types of protective relay systems.
