Active Forward Monitor Setup

Note: Internal circuitry sets Active Forward Monitor (AFM) input to a high state. This inhibits monitoring of
forward power on transmission line. To monitor forward power, follow the steps below.

1.

Connect AFM input to ground by hardwiring terminal strip position 10 (AFM input) to
position 7 (ground).

2.

Select the appropriate delay (see Table 1-4).

Note: This delay allows transmitting equipment to reach acceptable power
output before being monitored by forward channel for low power condition.

3.

Do one of the following:

If the delay in the user’s equipment is known: the AFM should be set to the
same delay plus a minimum of 25 percent safety factor.

If the delay in the user’s equipment is unknown:

a.

Set the AFM to progressively shorter delays until switching on the carrier
causes the FWD monitor to trip when the user’s equipment is known to be
working properly.

b.

Add a 25 percent safety factor to the delay indicated by the switch setting
and set the delay to that setting.
Note: That the disabling of the forward monitor is virtually instantaneous
when the AFM signal is removed and is unaffected by the switch settings.

Dip Switch Settings

Dip Switch bank SW2 is used to select AFM delay time. Refer to Figure 7 for correct on/off position. Ensure the
switches or set fully on or off.

In Table 1-4 the delay times are listed in the appropriate row & column for the switch set tings.
