XR6/XR3 Pre-installation Manual Control and monitoringIssue 3.0 2009-07-15 Page 6-1Section 6: Control and monitoringThis section describes control and monitoring of the XR6/XR3 transmitter. This section includes thefollowing topics:• Controls• Alarm definitions• Remote control circuits and alarms - see page 6-7• Remote performance monitoring - see page 6-12• LAN interface (NxLink) - see page 6-13ControlsThe XR6/XR3’s graphic user interface (GUI) lets you control a number of transmitter functions andset parameters and schedules. (For detailed information about the GUI, refer to the XR6/XR3Operating and Maintenance Manual.) In addition, you can control the on/off status, the active (A/B)exciter, the preset RF power level, the power level adjustment, and system alarm reset remotely bymeans of a conventional remote control interface (see “Remote control circuits and alarms” onpage 6-7 or a LAN, using the optional NxLink module (see “LAN interface (NxLink)” on page 6-13).Alarm definitionsThis section describes the alarms that may occur, and what they indicate.DC voltage supply faultsFan P/S faultThe 48 V power supply used for the fans is monitored. A fault will be reported if the voltage varies bymore than ± 10%.RF drive P/S faultThe 62 V power supply used for the RF drive is monitored. A fault will be reported if the voltagevaries by more than ± 10%.
