5.2 Display
5.2.1 Status Box
This section of the display gives real time information about the status of the transmitter
A Frequency
The target frequency of the transmitter. When the transmitter is tuning to frequency on
start-up (out of lock), this will flash between full and half brightness, When the transmitter
is locked (has reached frequency), it will remain at full brightness.
B Power
The actual power of the transmitter. After the transmitter has locked on frequency, the
power will ramp up to the set level. During this time the power display will flash between
full and half brightness. When the power level has settled, it will remain at full brightness.
If RF Mute is set either manually or automatically, this section displays ”RF Mute”. If the
reverse power is greater than 10 per cent of the forward power, this section will alter-
nate between ”FWD” and ”REV” to display both readings.
C Deviation
Shows the current peak FM deviation of the transmitter. If the deviation falls below 30kHz
for 30 seconds the deviation display will flash to indicate abnormal modulation.
D Alarms
Indicates alarms which are set or triggered. The letters A-C indicate when an alarm is
enabled and when an alarm is triggered. Each alarm has two states:
- Greyed out - Alarm is enabled but not triggered.
- Alarm is flashing - Alarm has been triggered.
For example:
Not shown -No alarms set
- Only Alarm A is enabled.
- All alarms are enabled.
- Alarm A and alarm C are triggered, Alarm B is enabled.
