threshold that can be exceeded for short periods (up to 1 minute each time). If this condition occurs, it is enabled “PSU current derating” (“013” alarm and possibly “014”) and ALC management algorithm to normal operating condition is replaced by another in which the VDS and Bias control is given by power setting and, with even higher priority, by the current supplied from power supply. The condition of current derating is turned off when the power supplied back to the value set by the user and if the maximum current supplied from power supply is less than or equal to the maximum allowable value for continuous operation.

Thermal management on power supply (Lifextender ®) The algorithm of power supply management, function of temperature, is the same as that in the RF group, and is connected logically “OR” to it. The ﬁrst level of Derating (which acts directly on the output power) is activated when the power supply temperature exceeds 75 ° C, while the second level is activated if, with the ﬁrst ineffective, the temperature is not stable below this value. In this second case the output power is brought below the - 3 dB, with the same procedure already described in RF section. On the display the activation of this mechanism is manifested by the “010” alarm, and possibly “016”.

Fault management on RF modules (Lifextender ®) It makes the maximum output power management depending on the number of RF ampliﬁer modules being properly operated. If one or more MOSFETs are considered failed (this happens when the current consumption is less than 10% of the average), RF output power is reduced to the expected value in the presence of failure experienced. The failure case histories and maximum power achievable are described in a complex table obtained through experimentation, and are designed to stop MOSFETs failure, that are still operating, by avoiding that are overly stressed by the mechanism of ALC (which would call these to supply the power output missing). To avoid an unnecessarily large number of alert SMS, during this stage are not sent: any alert SMS, if validated, will be sent only after the output power adaptation procedure, according to the parameters table, and only if -3dB condition is veriﬁed. On the display the activation of this mechanism is manifested by the “008” and “009” alarm.

Cooling Management on fans group (Lifextender ®) The fan speed is adjusted, depending on the actual cooling needs, from a minimum of 60% to a maximum of 120% (these values may differ by different models of fan used). The cooling need is estimated on the basis of accurate temperature measurements that are made on RF MOSFETs and on power supply. The Cooling Management aims to extend the lifespan of the fans, to minimize the amount of dust that can be carried by the airﬂow, and to guarantee a safe operation of the apparatus, even under extreme conditions of temperature. Without Lifextender the fans operate at 100%.

2.3.2 Hardware protections

The hardware protection system includes:

• fast electronic and fuse protection on power supplies;

• fast electronic protection on fans power supply ;

• fast protection against excessive reﬂected power (ROS/VSWR), caused by a strong mismatch of the load. This protection occurs when the value of reﬂected power exceeds 10% of the direct power.

3.2 Alarms/events list

There is an “Alarms Management” module.

To check the alarm conditions physical and logical digital inputs are used. Each input status is sampled and then the condition is logically drawn by a combinatorial network, to deﬁne if the alarm or signal are active.

Response time is 100ms minimum.

This module is repeatedly performed with the same priority as the ALC management, in order to constantly monitor the occurrence of alarm causes, and thus to operate in good time.

In a register is stored the recent events sequence, with date and time of activation.

The possible alarms/events list is:

Alarm/event Description

“000 CORRECT WORKING”

“001 SYSTEM RESET”

“002 EEPROM CHKSUM ERROR”

“003 BLOCKED”

“004 STOP”

“005 -3dB CARRIER”

Elenos will provide a password valid for 24 hours to be entered on the same screen under the “Password Recovery” item. The user must later deﬁne new passwords through the “Password Setting” screen.

11User interface

1.1.12 System conﬁg

Setting and display screen. The following parameters can be set by the user: temperature measurement unit (Temp. U.), remote display operating mode (Show D.), audio board model (BB model, automatically detected, or STEREO view as default), equipment protection in case of oscillations (PwOscChk), power target when working with a UPS (UPS T), VCO synchronization (Time base, internal or external at 10MHz), power reading calibration (FwdPwrCal), SWR foldback, polarization threshold (IPA Bias Tres.), reﬂected power nominal threshold (Reﬂ.Pwr T.N., when active it is 10% of direct power), reﬂected power customized threshold (Reﬂ.Pwr T.Lev., when the nominal threshold is inactive, it is possible to set values below10%), ﬁnal polarization (PAbias), maximum settable power full scale (Max Target Pwr).

1.1.12.1 Power oscillation algorithm

In Elenos devices, if there is a power variation of “n” W (“n” being deﬁned in speciﬁc tables) at least 3 consecutive times within 15 seconds, the “035” alarm is activated and the three block out mechanism is triggered (if this mechanism fails, the “003” alarm is then activated).

1.1.12.2 Foldback algorithm

The Elenos devices feature two different and independent protections which are activated when there is an excess of reﬂected power. The ﬁrst is a hardware threshold which operates when the reﬂected power exceeds 10% of the maximum rated output power of the transmitter in a very short space of time. In these conditions the transmitter switches off. The second is a software protection, called “foldback algorithm”. It is activated when the reﬂected power increase is slower (for example, when there is snow or ice on the antenna). In these conditions, the transmitter gradually reduces its output power until the reﬂected power threshold is exceeded, while the output power is gradually restored when the values go back to normal. If normal operating conditions continue for more than 60 seconds, the algorithm is inactive. The activation of this second protection is left to the user (from the System conﬁg screen).

12 User interface

1.1.13 Audio trim & alrm

Setting and display screen. The following parameters can be set by the user: pilot tone level, pilot tone phase, clipping voltage. It is possible to monitor the audio board model (BB board model, automatically detected, or STEREO view as default) and the ﬁrmware version of the audio board (BB Firmware). The alarms connected to the audio section are set. The management uses the TC/TS connector. The alarm is activated when it is below the threshold set (Modulation), after the set period of time (Dlay Alarm Timer). The user can choose from ﬁve operating modes (Bad mod.) : DISABLE, NO AUDIO, SWAP, FAULT, FLT/SWAP.

1.1.13.1 Audio “Disable” alarm

By setting the “Bad mod.” ﬁeld to “DISABLE”, the alarm is completely deactivated without needing to change the levels (Modulation, Dlay Alarm Timer).

1.1.13.2 “No audio” audio alarm

By setting the “Bad mod.” ﬁeld to “NO AUDIO”, the default setting is kept, i.e. “No Audio” on pin 23 of the TC/TS connector. If the transmitter is inside an N+1 system, the “No Audio” signal is not available at the exchange unit.

1.1.13.3 “Swap” audio alarm

By setting the “Bad mod.” ﬁeld to “SWAP”, the “No Audio” line (pin 23) is exchanged with the “Warning” line (pin 13) on the TC/TS connector. If the transmitter is inside an N+1 system, the “No Audio” signal is available at the exchange unit.

1.1.13.4 “Fault” audio alarm

By setting the “Bad mod.” ﬁeld to “FAULT”, the “No Audio” line (pin 23) is in “or” condition with the “Fault” line (pin 24) on the TC/TS connector. If the transmitter is inside an N+1 system, the exchange unit activates the switching in the presence of No Audio.

1.1.13.5 “Flt/Swap” audio alarm

By setting the “Bad mod.” ﬁeld to “FLT/SWAP”, there is a combination of the two “Swap” and “Fault” modes. In this way, if the transmitter is inside an N+1 system, the “No Audio” signal is available at the exchange unit and the exchange unit actives the switching.

13User interface

1.1.14 Communication port set

Setting and display screen. The parameters which can be set by the user are the speed and the front and rear 485 door addresses.

1.1.15 System info

1.1.16 System Time

Setting and display screen. The following parameters can be set by the user: the day of the week, date and time.

14 User interface

1.1.17 Clock Pwr Target

Setting and display screen. As well as the standard power adjustment, it can also be set according to time slots in order to save energy. In order to be able to set the power according to individual time slots, the ﬁeld “Target Power Mode” must be set to “CLOCKED”. Then, the various times of day can be matched with four different power percentage values (100%, 75%, 50% or 25% of the set power). After deﬁning the day of the week to be set (Target Power on day of) for each time of day, press the cursor to enter the setting bar, rotate it to deﬁne the percentage (nothing displayed corresponds to 25%, T1 corresponds to 50%, T2 corresponds to 75%, T3 corresponds to 100%) and press the cursor to conﬁrm. By setting the “Copy over next day” ﬁeld to “T”, the previous day setting is copied to the next day. By setting the “Reset at default” ﬁeld to “T”, the settings are reset to default, where the power is low at night and full during the day.

15User interface

1.1.18 Enable Alarms Sms

Setting and display screen. Besides the alarm management “by status”, it is possible to have alarm management “by event”. The alarms for which this management mode is enabled merge in a buffer. If the value “0” is attributed to the relative alarm, it means that is deactivated, while the value “1” means that is activated to be managed in “by event” mode. This function is available only by means of connection on the Omron protocol. In order to understand the meaning of the alarms, please refer to paragraph “Alarms/ events list”.

1.1.19 User Alarms Data

Setting and display screen. Some alarms can be set according to activation conditions. The current value of the alarm condition parameter (ambient temperature, RF temperature, RF current, power supply temperature, power supply current, direct power, reﬂected power) can be monitored. By setting the “En.” parameter to “T/F” the respective alarm is enabled/disabled. The following parameters can be set by the user: the parameter minimum and maximum values, and the type of condition to be met (upper, lower, inside, outside).

16 User interface

1.1.20 User Alarms Timers

Setting and display screen. In some alarms, it is possible to set a time frame in which the condition must occur in order to make the alarm effective (“Dlay”). The trend of the meter for this time can be monitored as well as the possible enabling of the alarm by means of a status ﬂag (Alrm).

17User interface

1.1.21 Lifextender

Setting and display screen. The parameters relative to the Lifextender option can be monitored: equipment serial number, equipment code (parameter to be notiﬁed to Elenos should the user require the activation/deactivation of this function), activation/deactivation code (parameter supplied by Elenos to be entered for the function activation/deactivation), function status, work days in good operating conditions, work days in critical operating conditions. The algorithm considers the following parameters to deﬁne the critical days: RF temperature, power supply temperature, ambient temperature and reﬂected power with respect to maximum operating power. These parameters must exceed the threshold values for a certain amount of time. In this way, the duration and intensity of the event is assessed: intense short events are heavy; less intense but longer events are heavy too.

18 User interface

1.1.22 GSM and modem service
