threshold that can be exceeded for short periods (up to 1 minute each time).
If this condition occurs, it is enabled “PSU current derating” (“013” alarm and possibly
“014”) and ALC management algorithm to normal operating condition is replaced by
another in which the VDS and Bias control is given by power setting and, with even
higher priority, by the current supplied from power supply.
The condition of current derating is turned off when the power supplied back to the va-
lue set by the user and if the maximum current supplied from power supply is less than
or equal to the maximum allowable value for continuous operation.
Thermal management on power supply (Lifextender ®)
The algorithm of power supply management, function of temperature, is the same as
that in the RF group, and is connected logically “OR” to it.
The first level of Derating (which acts directly on the output power) is activated when
the power supply temperature exceeds 75 ° C, while the second level is activated if,
with the first ineffective, the temperature is not stable below this value. In this second
case the output power is brought below the - 3 dB, with the same procedure already
described in RF section. On the display the activation of this mechanism is manifested
by the “010” alarm, and possibly “016”.
Fault management on RF modules (Lifextender ®)
It makes the maximum output power management depending on the number of RF
amplifier modules being properly operated.
If one or more MOSFETs are considered failed (this happens when the current consum-
ption is less than 10% of the average), RF output power is reduced to the expected
value in the presence of failure experienced. The failure case histories and maximum
power achievable are described in a complex table obtained through experimentation,
and are designed to stop MOSFETs failure, that are still operating, by avoiding that are
overly stressed by the mechanism of ALC (which would call these to supply the power
output missing).
To avoid an unnecessarily large number of alert SMS, during this stage are not sent: any
alert SMS, if validated, will be sent only after the output power adaptation procedure,
according to the parameters table, and only if -3dB condition is verified.
On the display the activation of this mechanism is manifested by the “008” and “009”
alarm.
Cooling Management on fans group (Lifextender ®)
The fan speed is adjusted, depending on the actual cooling needs, from a minimum of
60% to a maximum of 120% (these values may differ by different models of fan used).
The cooling need is estimated on the basis of accurate temperature measurements
that are made on RF MOSFETs and on power supply. The Cooling Management aims to
extend the lifespan of the fans, to minimize the amount of dust that can be carried by
the airflow, and to guarantee a safe operation of the apparatus, even under extreme
conditions of temperature.
Without Lifextender the fans operate at 100%.
2.3.2 Hardware protections
The hardware protection system includes:
• fast electronic and fuse protection on power supplies;
• fast electronic protection on fans power supply ;
• fast protection against excessive reflected power (ROS/VSWR), caused by a strong
mismatch of the load. This protection occurs when the value of reflected power
exceeds 10% of the direct power.

been sent an alarm or a phone call. To bring the field into “FALSE” you need to reset
alarms.
3.1.33 User Alarms Data
For some alarms you can set specific conditions for activation.
In this screen is displayed the current value of the measured parameter of the condition
of the alarm, if the alarm is enabled or not, it sets a minimum and maximum value for
the parameter and choose the type of condition (upper, lower, inside, outside).

3.2 Alarms/events list
There is an “Alarms Management” module.
To check the alarm conditions physical and logical digital inputs are used.
Each input status is sampled and then the condition is logically drawn by a combinato-
rial network, to define if the alarm or signal are active.
Response time is 100ms minimum.
This module is repeatedly performed with the same priority as the ALC management, in
order to constantly monitor the occurrence of alarm causes, and thus to operate in good
time.
In a register is stored the recent events sequence, with date and time of activation.
The possible alarms/events list is:
Alarm/event Description
“000 CORRECT WORKING” It indicates the correct functioning. In any case
the “On air” event takes the precedence.
“001 SYSTEM RESET” It indicates that the alarm reset is in progress.
All the alarms stored and no longer active are
removed from the list.
“002 EEPROM CHKSUM ERROR” It indicates that the persistent data in mem-
ory are no longer reliable and the machine is
reconfigured with the default parameters.
“003 BLOCKED” It indicates that the machine is blocked after
6 attempts to restore every 5 minutes for 3
times, coming in an hour break and repeating
the procedure within 24 hours. At the end of
24 hours is required a reset by the user to en-
able the apparatus restart.
“004 STOP” It indicates that the device is in stand-by,
ready to start without alarms.
“005 -3dB CARRIER” It indicates that the device is providing at
least 3dB less power than the set target, at le-
ast one minute in boot or five seconds steady.
“006 HIGH REF PWR” It indicates the presence of a level of output
reflected power too high, which means tur-
ning off the equipment in three block out.

modules, which implies a reduction in maxi-
mum power output.
“011 RF OVER TEMPERATURE” It indicates a maximum operating temperatu-
re overcoming, resulting in shutdown of the
machine in three blocks out. This protection
occurs in extreme cases where the mecha-
nism Derating was not enough to return to
normal temperature values.
“012 PSU FAULT” It indicates a power supply malfunction.
“013 PSU CURRENT DERATING” It indicates the power supply overhead, which
determines the decrease in output power.
56 Use instructions
“014 PSU OVER CURRENT” It indicates the machine turning off that
happens if after 1 minute from derating the
current does not decrease.

1.1.12.1 Power oscillation algorithm
In Elenos devices, if there is a power variation of “n” W (“n” being defined in specific
tables) at least 3 consecutive times within 15 seconds, the “035” alarm is activated and
the three block out mechanism is triggered (if this mechanism fails, the “003” alarm is
then activated).
1.1.12.2 Foldback algorithm
The Elenos devices feature two different and independent protections which are activa-
ted when there is an excess of reflected power.
The first is a hardware threshold which operates when the reflected power exceeds
10% of the maximum rated output power of the transmitter in a very short space of
time.
In these conditions the transmitter switches off.
The second is a software protection, called “foldback algorithm”.
It is activated when the reflected power increase is slower (for example, when there is
snow or ice on the antenna).
In these conditions, the transmitter gradually reduces its output power until the reflec-
ted power threshold is exceeded, while the output power is gradually restored when
the values go back to normal.
If normal operating conditions continue for more than 60 seconds, the algorithm is
inactive.
The activation of this second protection is left to the user (from the
System config screen).
1.1.12 System config
Setting and display screen.
The following parameters can be set by the user: temperature measurement unit
(Temp. U.), remote display operating mode (Show D.), audio board model (BB model,
automatically detected, or STEREO view as default), equipment protection in case of
oscillations (PwOscChk), power target when working with a UPS (UPS T), VCO synchroni-
zation (Time base, internal or external
at 10MHz), power reading calibration (FwdPwrCal), SWR foldback, polarization threshold
(IPA Bias Tres.), reflected power nominal threshold (Refl.Pwr T.N., when active it is
10% of direct power), reflected power customized threshold (Refl.Pwr T.Lev., when the
nominal threshold is inactive, it is possible to set values below10%), final polarization
(PAbias), maximum settable power full scale (Max Target Pwr).

1.1.13 Audio trim & alrm
Setting and display screen.
The following parameters can be set by the user: pilot tone level, pilot tone phase,
clipping voltage.
It is possible to monitor the audio board model (BB board model, automatically
detected, or STEREO view as default) and the firmware version of the audio board (BB
Firmware).
The alarms connected to the audio section are set. The management uses the TC/TS
connector.
The alarm is activated when it is below the threshold set (Modulation), after the set
period of time (Dlay Alarm Timer).
The user can choose from five operating modes (Bad mod.) : DISABLE, NO AUDIO, SWAP,
FAULT, FLT/SWAP.
1.1.13.1 Audio “Disable” alarm
By setting the “Bad mod.” field to “DISABLE”, the alarm is completely deactivated wi-
thout needing to change the levels (Modulation, Dlay Alarm Timer).
1.1.13.2 “No audio” audio alarm
By setting the “Bad mod.” field to “NO AUDIO”, the default setting is kept, i.e. “No Au-
dio” on pin 23 of the TC/TS connector.
If the transmitter is inside an N+1 system, the “No Audio” signal is not available at the
exchange unit.
1.1.13.3 “Swap” audio alarm
By setting the “Bad mod.” field to “SWAP”, the “No Audio” line (pin 23) is exchanged
with the “Warning” line (pin 13) on the TC/TS connector.
If the transmitter is inside an N+1 system, the “No Audio” signal is available at the
exchange unit.
1.1.13.4 “Fault” audio alarm
By setting the “Bad mod.” field to “FAULT”, the “No Audio” line (pin 23) is in “or” condi-
tion with the “Fault” line (pin 24) on the TC/TS connector.
If the transmitter is inside an N+1 system, the exchange unit activates the switching in
the presence of No Audio.
1.1.13.5 “Flt/Swap” audio alarm
By setting the “Bad mod.” field to “FLT/SWAP”, there is a combination of the two
“Swap” and “Fault” modes.
In this way, if the transmitter is inside an N+1 system, the “No Audio” signal is available
at the exchange unit and the exchange unit actives the switching.

1.1.17 Clock Pwr Target
Setting and display screen.
As well as the standard power adjustment, it can also be set according to time slots in
order to save energy. In order to be able to set the power according to individual time
slots, the field “Target Power Mode” must be set to “CLOCKED”.
Then, the various times of day can be matched with four different power percentage
values (100%, 75%, 50% or 25% of the set power).
After defining the day of the week to be set (Target Power on day of) for each time of
day, press the cursor to enter the setting bar, rotate it to define the percentage (nothing
displayed corresponds to 25%, T1 corresponds to 50%, T2 corresponds to 75%, T3 corre-
sponds to 100%) and press the cursor to confirm.
By setting the “Copy over next day” field to “T”, the previous day setting is copied to
the next day.
By setting the “Reset at default” field to “T”, the settings are reset to default, where
the power is low at night and full during the day.

1.1.18 Enable Alarms Sms
Setting and display screen.
Besides the alarm management “by status”, it is possible to have
alarm management “by event”.
The alarms for which this management mode is enabled merge in a buffer.
If the value “0” is attributed to the relative alarm, it means that is deactivated, while
the value
“1” means that is activated to be managed in “by event” mode.
This function is available only by means of connection on the Omron protocol.
In order to understand the meaning of the alarms, please refer to paragraph “Alarms/
events list”.
1.1.19 User Alarms Data
Setting and display screen.
Some alarms can be set according to activation conditions.
The current value of the alarm condition parameter (ambient temperature, RF tempera-
ture, RF current, power supply temperature, power supply current, direct power, reflec-
ted power) can be monitored.
By setting the “En.” parameter to “T/F” the respective alarm is enabled/disabled.
The following parameters can be set by the user: the parameter minimum and maxi-
mum values, and the type of condition to be met (upper, lower, inside, outside).

1.1.21 Lifextender
Setting and display screen.
The parameters relative to the Lifextender option can be monitored: equipment serial
number, equipment code (parameter to be notified to Elenos should the user require
the activation/deactivation of this function), activation/deactivation code (parameter
supplied by Elenos to be entered for the function activation/deactivation), function sta-
tus, work days in good operating conditions, work days in critical operating conditions.
The algorithm considers the following parameters to define the critical days: RF tem-
perature, power supply temperature, ambient temperature and reflected power with
respect to maximum operating power.
These parameters must exceed the threshold values for a certain amount of time.
In this way, the duration and intensity of the event is assessed: intense short events are
heavy; less intense but longer events are heavy too.
