The second line indicates the state of the reflected power (VSWR) protection. Default =
ON. Use the Right Arrow Key to toggle. When you change the mode to off, a warning
will display on how this mode could potentially damage your transmitter. Press the En-
ter key to accept this choice, any other key to leave it on.
If you are broadcasting at high RF levels and the reflected power becomes high, it can
cause permanent damage to the transmitter. It is recommended you leave this ON at
all times other than for testing purposes.
5.14 Set Power Fault
This Menu allows you to set the power level the
PX50 will restore to after a power fault condition
has occurred. There are two ways that a power
fault can be triggered; from either a VSWR fault (menu 3), or Temperature fault (menu
4). Use the right and left arrow keys to change the setting to one of the following
choices: 7/8 (88%), ¾ (75%), ½ (50%), ¼ (25%), or no power (0%). The power will
then be restored to the specified percentage of the original power setting.
5.15 Set Power Fault Timer
This menu allows you to select a time for the PX50
to wait before it returns to the power level speci-
fied in menu 13 (Power Fault). This timer would
only be applied after a VSWR fault. The other possible fault condition is a Temperature
fault, in which the PX50 will return to the specified power level set in menu 13 only af-
ter the temperature drops below 60 degrees C, regardless of how long it takes. Use the
right and left arrow keys to select a time from the following options: 0min, 1min, 5min,
10min, 30min, 60 min, 2hrs, 6hrs, 12hrs, or 24hrs.
5.16 Set Test Timer
This allows you to choose a running time for the
PX50 for testing purposes. By default, the timer is
disabled (0min setting). To activate, change the
setting to a time other than 0min with the Left/Right arrow keys, and then navigate to a
different menu with either the Up or Down arrow keys. The possible timer settings are:
0min(timer disabled), 1min, 5min, 10min, 30min, 60 min, 2hrs, 6hrs, 12hrs, or 24hrs.
Once activated and set to a timer setting, the PX50 will broadcast with all of it's other
current settings for the selected time, and then the RF output power will be set to 0
Watts. This allows you to "range test" the PX50 by driving away from the transmitter,
and not having to return to power down the unit yourself.
Reset Defaults. This allows you to reset all of the settings back to default so all values
will be the same as when the unit was shipped to you. Press the right arrow key twice
to perform this.
