5. Alarm Information
The repeater will have real-time detection of its status automatically. If the relative alarms are enabled,
when the repeater is working improperly, the LED segment display will show the corresponding sign and
the alarm indicator on the front panel will glow red.
5.1 Battery Mismatch
When powered by a battery box, the repeater will examine whether the battery in the box matches its
requirements in a real-time way. When the battery does not match the requirement, the alarm indicator
will glow red and the LED segment display will show “E1”.
When this alarm is given, the repeater cannot work properly and will power off automatically in 3s. Then
please ask your local dealer to replace the power supply management system or for further help. If you
switch to an external power supply, this alarm will be eliminated with the segment disappearing and the
alarm indicator going out.
5.2 Low Battery
When powered by battery, the repeater will have real-time detection of the output voltage of the power
supply management system. When the output voltage falls below the under-voltage alarm threshold
(12% of the battery capacity by default), the alarm indicator will glow red and the LED segment display
will show “E2”.
When this alarm segment is displayed, the repeater will still work properly and will power off
automatically when running out of power.
In this case, you need to take the following measures:
1. Check the power indicator on the power supply management system to see if the power is low. If the
power is low, please charge the power supply management system or replace it.
12
Caution: After fully charging the system, please press the Power On/Off key to power on the
repeater, as it will not power on automatically.
2. If you cannot solve the problem, contact your local dealer for technical support.
When the battery voltage is higher than the under-voltage alarm threshold, the alarm will be eliminated
with the segment disappearing and the alarm indicator going out.
5.3 External Power Abnormal
When powered by a power adapter, the repeater will have real-time detection of the output voltage of the
power adapter. When the output voltage falls off the range of the operating voltage, the alarm indicator
will glow red and the LED segment display will show “E3”.
When this alarm is given, the repeater cannot work properly and will power off automatically in 3s. If the
repeater returns to normal operation within the 3s, the alarm will be eliminated so that the repeater will
not power off.
In this case, you need to take the following measures:
1. Check whether the power adapter is damaged. If it is damaged, please replace it.
2. Check through the voltmeter whether the voltage inputted by the external power supply is over low or
over high. If it is over low or over high, please replace it.
3. If you cannot solve the problem, contact your local dealer for technical support.
5.4 TX/RX Unlock
Normally, after being powered on, the repeater has its Tx and Rx work properly in locked status. Once
the repeater detects that the Tx/Rx PLL is unlocked, its alarm indicator will glow red and there will be a
sign (“E4” for Tx Unlock, “E5” for Rx Unlock) on the LED segment display.
13
Tx Unlock Alarm
Rx Unlock Alarm
When such alarm is given, the repeater will terminate part of its features automatically. Now you will
need to contact your local dealer for technical support.
When Tx/Rx returns to the locked status, the alarm will be eliminated with the segment disappearing and
the alarm indicator going out.
5.5 Over Temperature
When the temperature of the PA module exceeds the normal range, the alarm indicator will glow red and
the LED segment display will show “E6”.
When this alarm is given, the repeater can still work properly. During a rise in ambient temperature, the
repeater will keep track of the Tx power with adjustments in order to lower the temperature.
And you need to take the following measures:
1. Check whether the ambient temperature and ventilation conditions of the repeater satisfy the
foregoing installation requirements. If not, please make improvements as soon as possible.
2. Check if connection between the transmitter and RF cable or antenna/feed line is loose or damaged.
Poor connection between them could cause high Tx power, which would make the temperature of the
heat sink rise quickly. If yes, secure or replace the cable or antenna/feed line.
3. If the above measures fail to solve the problem, contact your local dealer for technical support.
When the temperature of the repeater returns to the normal range, the alarm will be eliminated with the
14
segment disappearing and the alarm indicator going out.
5.6 VSWR Alarm
When transmitting, the repeater will detect the voltage standing wave ratio (VSWR) of the Tx antenna of
the PA module. Over-high VSWR will damage the PA module or even disable it. When the VSWR
exceeds the normal range, the alarm indicator will glow red and the LED segment display will show “E7”:
When this alarm is given, the repeater can still work properly.
And you need to take the following measures:
1. Check if the Tx frequency is within the frequency range of the antenna, as improper antenna will result
in poor transmitting performance or even damage to the transmitter. If not, please contact your local
dealer to replace the antenna.
2. Check if the connection between the transmitter and RF adapter cable or antenna/feed line is loose or
damaged. If yes, please replace the cable.
3. If you cannot solve the problem, contact your local dealer for technical support.
When the VSWR returns to the operation range, the alarm will be eliminated with the segment
disappearing and the alarm indicator going out.
