ODU Communications Failure
3DB 23063 ADAA - Rev 004 July 2007
Transceiver RX temperature is out of range. This is a warning alarm.
1. The ODU is faulty with an overheating problem or a faulty temperature
sensor.
2. ODU temperature excessive.
1. Check for other ODU related over-temperature alarms: Power Detector and
IF.
2. Use the CT Performance screen to check ODU Temperature and Detected Tx
Power. ODU Temperature should not more than 90°C, and then only in
extreme ambient and maximum Tx power conditions. If Detected Tx Power
is not normal, this may be as a result of general overheating, or a component
failure.
• If there is correlation between other temperature alarms and/or the ODU
Temperature reading, a general overheating of the ODU is indicated. If
this cannot be associated with very high ambient temperatures, a faulty
ODU is indicated. The ODU must be replaced.
• If there are no other alarms, the ODU Temperature is normal, Detected Tx
Power is normal, and the ambient is not high, then a localized alarm
measurement fault is indicated. The ODU should be replaced.
3. Where an environmental temperature problem is suspected, use the CT
Events Browser and History screens to see if there is an alarm pattern
associated with ambient temperature and sun position. If confirmed, a sun
shield should be installed for the ODU.
This temperature output is used to maintain correct transceiver calibration over
temperature.
The ambient must not exceed 55
(no solar gain).
Detected Tx Power should be within 2 dB (typically within 1 dB) of the Tx
power setting in a RAC Plug-ins screen when ATPC is disabled. In situations
where ATPC is selected, refer to the commissioning record for guidance on a
normal Tx power indication.
Cannot establish communications with the ODU. This is a major alarm.
