VS1 Troubleshooting Manual Responding to alarms

Issue 10.0 2018-10-29 Page 1-1

Section 1: Responding to alarms

This section provides instructions you need when performing troubleshooting on the VS1

transmitter. This section includes the following topics:

•Corrective maintenance

•Electrostatic protection - see page 1-3

•Identifying and troubleshooting an alarm - see page 1-4

•Troubleshooting tips - see page 1-28

–AUIlockup- see page 1-28

•Operating with defective PAs or cooling fans - see page 1-29

•Replacing a suspect PWB, power supply or fan - see page 1-31

If none of the procedures and alarms described in this section address your problem, contact Nautel

for assistance. See “Technical support” on page ix.

Corrective maintenance

Corrective maintenance procedures consist of identifying and correcting defects or deficiencies that

arise during transmitter operation. Local and/or remote alarm signals are generated when a

malfunction occurs. If an alarm condition is caused by a malfunction in the RF power stage, the

transmitter may maintain operation at a reduced RF output level. The nature of the fault – and station

policy – will dictate whether an immediate maintenance response is necessary. Fault analysis and

rectification may be conducted from three different levels, with a different technical competence level

required for each: on-air troubleshooting, remote or local, and off-air troubleshooting.

On-air troubleshooting

On-air troubleshooting can be performed from a remote location, or locally at the transmitter site.

CAUTION:

The transmitter contains many solid state devices that may be damaged if subjected

to excessive heat or high voltage transients. Every effort must be taken to ensure that

circuits are not overdriven or disconnected from their loads while turned on.

Remote troubleshooting

Remote on-air troubleshooting consists of monitoring the transmitter's radiated signal using an on-air

monitor or via a LAN connection, and observing the status of each remote fault alarm indicator.

Information obtained from these sources should enable an operator to decide whether an alarm

response may be deferred to a more convenient time, an immediate corrective action must be taken,

or if a standby transmitter must be enabled (if one is available). It is recommended that the

significance of remote indications, and the appropriate responses, be incorporated into a station's

standard operating procedures. Refer to “Identifying and troubleshooting an alarm” on page 1-4 to

determine the remedial action for a given fault.

Local troubleshooting

Local on-air troubleshooting consists of monitoring the transmitter's integral meters and fault alarm

indicators. Analysis of this data will normally identify the type of fault, and in most cases will

determine what corrective action must be taken. Refer to “Identifying and troubleshooting an alarm”

on page 1-4 to determine the remedial action for a given fault.

The power amplifier stage contains an integral modular reserve (IMR) feature. This feature permits

the transmitter to operate at a reduced RF output level when a malfunction occurs in one of its power

modules. Station operating procedures will dictate whether a reduced RF output level is acceptable.

When a reduced RF output level can be tolerated, replacement of the defective RF components may

be deferred to a convenient time.

Off-air troubleshooting

Off-air troubleshooting must be performed routine on-air calibration adjustments will not restore

operation.

It is recommended that the transmitter’s output be connected to a precision 50 resistive dummy

load (rated for at least the maximum transmitter power rating of 1400 W) before starting off-air

troubleshooting procedures. If an appropriate dummy load is not available, troubleshooting for a

majority of faults can be performed with the RF power stage turned off. The transmitter may remain

connected to its antenna system for these procedures.

CAUTION:

Reduce the RF output level to a minimal value when troubleshooting faults in the

transmitter. This is particularly important when the transmitter’s cover is removed -

where possible overheating could occur - or when the transmitter is connected to the

antenna system.
