Exciter A/B: SWR
Shutback
This alarm indicates the transmitter’s peak reflected power has
exceeded the factory set peak reflected limit. This
alarm causes
the transmitter to immediately shut down its RF output, then
recover. If this alarm occurs in conjunction with the Controller’s
Fast SWR Shutback alarm, it generally indicates a fault in the
transmitter’s external RF output network (e.g., rigid-line, antenna,
etc.). If this alarm occurs without the presence of the Controller’s
Fast SWR Shutback alarm, verify the RF current sample, RF
voltage sample and the wiring between the sample point and the
control/interface PWB is not
damaged. If
the alarm persists,
replace the associated digital AM exciter PWB (see
exciter PWB replacement” on page 1-66
Exciter A/B: Transmitter
Gain Too Low
This alarm occurs when the power gain of the transmitter falls
below 63%. This alarm is latching and requires pressing the reset
button to clear the alarm. This alarm normally occurs because
there
is a significant number (greater than 37%) of disabled power
modules. Try resetting transmitter alarms to clear power module
faults. If the alarm persists, repair or replace RF power modules to
clear this alarm (see
“RF power module troubleshooting” on
Exciter A/B: Transmitter
Type Not Set
This alarm indicates that the associated exciter has not been
informed of the type of transmitter it has been installed in. If the
affected exciter is a replacement, follow the digital AM exciter
PWB replacement procedure to clear the alarm

Exciter A/B: Unsigned
DSP Image
This alarm indicates that the software installed on the exciter is
invalid or corrupt and it is inhibiting its output. Try pressing the
reset button on the digital AM exciter PWB. If the alarm persists,
perform a software upgrade on the transmitter. If the alarm
persists, replace the associated digital AM exciter PWB
(see
“Digital AM exciter PWB replacement” on page 1-66
Exciter A/B: Unsigned
FPGA Image
This alarm indicates that the software installed on the exciter is
invalid or corrupt. Press the reset button on the digital AM exciter
PWB. If the alarm persists, perform a software upgrade on the
transmitter. If the alarm persists, replace the associated digital AM
exciter PWB
