  • Page 41: Operation

    7.3 Operation The Primary RFI-148 250 has control of the RF switch position. The default switch position, when no Primary unit exists or the RFI-PHSB is unpowered, is for the Secondary unit. Upon power up the Primary unit will always favour itself for the RF switch position, but the power up default is to leave the switch in the Secondary unit position.

    20 W transmit power, including reasonable sensor cutoffs for this transmit power. If the transmit power is increased, then the sensor cutoffs also need to be similarly increased. Please contact STI Engineering for accessing Cruise Control configuration files with recommended sensor cutoffs for common transmit power settings.

    250 W with an ambient temperature of 60 °C, the paging transmitter is expected to reach 80 °C. Ensure proper air circulation and/or air conditioning in the area the paging transmitter is installed. RFI-148 & RFI-900 High Output Power Paging Transmitters User Manual Page 95 of 99...

  • Page 97: Unit Won't Transmit

    G.2.4.2 High Reverse Power or Reverse Power Foldback A high reverse power fault indicates a hardware failure of the circulator inside the paging transmitter. Failure of the circulator can cause RF spectrum splatter, so transmit is disabled. Return the unit to STI Engineering for repair.

  • Page 98: Hardware Or Auto Ptt

    There are no faults active. A unit configured to transmit at a high power level needs similarly higher sensor cutoffs, see appendix G.1. Otherwise, low transmit power could indicate a hardware failure. If troubleshooting fails, return the unit to STI Engineering for repair.
