    5. System Operation 5. System Operation 5.1. General Operating Description The diagram below provides a basic operating description of an installed PowerShift system. Note that each Base Unit module has three circuits, and each circuit has its own input and output terminals; the three circuits operate independently from one another.

    5. System Operation c. When input power is applied to a circuit, the module executes a startup calibration mode only for that circuit (the other two circuits are not impacted); it calculates the round-trip resistance between the module output and the capacitive jumper at the far end of the cable d.

Green Solid The condition may not require immediate attention and can be corrected in the next available service window (e.g., the module can continue to run with the failure of one fan, until the module can be replaced).
  • Page 16 5. System Operation Circuit Module Alarm Condition 1, 2 or 3 “X” LED Description (GUI & Relay) Possible cause – Module is over temperature - Module shuts down affected circuit(s) to protect itself from high temperature condition - Possible causes: Module fan intake is blocked, site shelter cooling system has failed, module fan has failed - If the problem resolves itself (shelter cooling is restored) and module drops below threshold, then output power is restored and LED status changes (see...

  • Page 18 5. System Operation Circuit Module Alarm Condition 1, 2 or 3 “X” LED Description (GUI & Relay) Note: A red blink circuit LED can occur if the input power is cycled off and immediately back on, and there is no load (radio) connected to the circuit. In this case the capacitive jumper retains a small amount of voltage, and the module must allow it to discharge down before it can start the line resistance measurement.

The following information provides general guidelines for on-site installation of the PowerShift system. 7.1. Test Tools In addition to the standard tools used for hardware installation, the following additional tools are useful for PowerShift installation testing.
  • Page 23 7. Installation Guidelines g. To troubleshoot any issues or when ready to connect the Remote, it will be necessary to power off the circuit. Note the following: NOTE: After powering off the circuit, wait about 2-3 minutes for the capacitive jumper to discharge before proceeding. The capacitor voltage will always be less than 60VDC safety limit (and thus there is no personal safety issue), but waiting a few minutes will minimize any negligible spark that may occur when the cable is reconnected to the RRU.
