Basic Troubleshooting 1-19
Power System PA Voltage
Minor Alarm
Minor Yes No The station is not
at fault. This
alarm occurs
when the station
is operating from
a DC source with
an output
voltage that
cannot sustain
the maximum
rated output
power from the
PA.
Local Dealer:
When this alarm is
detected, check the
Diagnostic Repeater Log
to determine whether the
voltage is at an
intermediate level “PA
Voltage alarm
(Intermediate)” or it is too
high “PA Voltage alarm
(High)”.
PA Voltage
Major Alarm
Major Yes No The station is not
at fault. This
alarm occurs
when the station
is operating from
a DC source that
has an output
voltage which is
too low to
sustain any level
of output power
from the PA.
Local Dealer:
The site batteries are near
depletion and station shut
down is imminent. Service
personnel should be
dispatched to the site to
restore AC power or
provide alternate power.
This alarm will clear when
either the AC is restored
or the DC voltage levels
are restored to the working
limits required by the
station.
PA Voltage
Alarm
(High)
Minor No Yes
Counterpart
to “PA
Voltage Minor
Alarm”
The station is not
at fault. This
alarm occurs
when the station
is operating from
a DC source with
an output
voltage that is
too high to
sustain the
maximum rated
output power
from the PA.
Local Dealer:
Proper operation of the
battery charger / rectifier
should be verified, or
verify that the battery plant
is designed to the
specified voltage
operating limits of the
station. This alarm will
clear when either the AC
is restored or the DC
voltage levels are restored
to the working limits
required by the station.
