Alarms and Triggers
V2 Transmitters have a comprehensive monitoring and control system consisting
of 3 alarms and 4 triggers. Pin 2 of the connector is hardwired to RF mute.
Connecting this pin to ground will mute the transmitter. The alarms and triggers
port can also be used to control the unit through a telemetry interface system.

Alarms
Alarms on the V2 Transmitter give an indication when a certain condition is met.
They can be set to trigger on Modulation level, Forward power, Reverse power
and PLL lock fail. Upon triggering they will toggle the relevant pin on the rear
alarms and trigger connector. They will also write a notification to the RS232 and
will also write to the system log.

To set an alarm:
1. Navigate to Alarms in the Main Menu
2. Select the appropriate alarm you wish to set (A-C)
3. Set Type to “Alarm”
4. Set the parameters for the alarm
2. Select the appropriate alarm you wish to set (A-C)
3. Set Type to “Alarm”
4. Set the parameters for the alarm
a. Select the parameter you wish to trigger the alarm on, the available parameters are Modulation
level, Forward power, Reverse power and PLL lock fail.
b. If Modulation level, Forward power or Reverse power are selected, set the threshold value for
the alarm to trigger.
c.
Set the pin polarity which selects whether the output pin on the rear connector is active high or
active low.
active low.
d. Set the on/off delays which set how long the error condition must occur for before an alarm is
triggered and how long the error condition must have stopped for before an alarm is un-
triggered. Setting a short on delay combined with a long off delay will cause the alarm to trigger
and stay high if there is an intermittent fault.

and stay high if there is an intermittent fault.
e. Select if the unit will send an email when the alarm is triggered. Information on email settings
can be found in the Email section of the System menu.
Alarms as Analog Outputs
Alarms can be configured to report status parameters as analog voltages on the alarms pins. This setup is
typically used to connect the unit to remote control equipment (also known as telemetry interfaces).
