AM LOGIC FUNCTIONS
The AM Logic Module provides features related to both transmit and receive functions. For the
transmit path, the user has two keying inputs.
On the receive side, the AM Logic Module is fed information regarding the presence of a received
block from the remote carrier.
The AM Logic Module is also responsible for detecting a transmitter fail alarm. See Section 6 for more
information on the AM Logic Module.

SEQUENCE OF EVENTS
The Sequence Of Events (SOE) Module provides a computer interface to the RFL 9785. The module
monitors the system status at all times and records any changes in a log. There are two RS-232
connectors on the 9785 to access the SOE Module, one on the rear and one on the front of the unit.
The rear connector is intended for permanent connection to monitoring equipment (if available) while
the front connector is intended for short-term connection to a PC or terminal for system interrogation.
The front connector input overrides the rear connector.
The user may request the present status of the 9785 chassis on a one-time or continuous update basis.
Additionally, the module saves the forty most recent changes in status in a log with time and date
stamping. This data may be viewed (or downloaded) one record at a time or the complete log may be
dumped.
The SOE Module contains a Y2K compliant clock that is automatically synchronized to an IRIG-B
input signal if available. When a valid IRIG-B signal is not available, the clock continues to run in a
free-running mode. See Section 13 for more information about the SOE Module.

CHASSIS AND POWER SUPPLY
The 9785 chassis houses all of the modules and contains a full-system motherboard. The motherboard
distributes power to all of the modules and interconnects signals between modules. As a result, the
motherboard (and thus chassis) are specific for a particular configuration of 9785.
Each chassis can be equipped with either one or two power supplies. Two supplies may be used to
provide a backup power source should one supply fail. Each supply contains monitoring circuits to
detect a failure of any of the supplied voltages. See Sections 18 and 19 for more information about the
Power Supplies and Chassis.
