Chapter 8. Miscellaneous Configuration
XSAT#: (XSAT1/XSAT2) Sets the currently selected XSAT. The Currently Selected XSAT is
used in several menus (in 1:1 mode only) that allows the user to view or change most
parameters of the Currently Selected XSAT.
Note: This selection is not to be confused with the Online XSAT selection in the
Redundancy controller section.
*Cold Start: The XSAT provides an optional “Cold Start” feature that will insure that the
internal 10 MHz reference signal is at a stable temperature prior to allowing the RF and IF outputs
to be turned on. A fixed cold start interval of 15 minutes is used. At the end of the 15 minute
interval, the RF and IF output will automatically be turned ON providing all fault conditions and
appropriate settings are met. If an XSAT was powered ON with “Cold Start” ON, the operator
can override this function by selecting “Cold Start OFF”.
*Auto Fault Recovery (AFR): This AFR
parameter defines how the XSAT responds
to momentary fault conditions. If AFR is
OFF and a fault condition occurs that causes
the RF or IF output to be muted, then that
fault condition clears, the XSAT will remain
muted. If AFR is ON, and the same
situation occurs, the XSAT will
automatically be unmuted and return to
normal operating mode. To protect against
repetitive, momentary faults, if the XSAT
experiences 5 occurrences of the same fault,
the AFR parameter will automatically be set
to OFF.
Local Ref Osc Adjust: A fine adjustment
of the internal 10 MHz frequency is
provided as a user controllable parameter.
This parameter can be varied within the
range of 000 to 255.
*Note: The Cold Start and AFR settings can
only be changed if the Currently
Selected XSAT is ONLINE.
