Alarm Information

With the Alarm feature enabled by your dealer, the repeater automatically triggers an alarm if any exception occurs.
When the alarm is active, the LED displays the corresponding alarm code and the alarm indicator glows red.
The following table describes alarms in detail.

External Power Under-voltage or Over-voltage Alarm

Description
When the repeater detects that the voltage of the external power supply is out of range, the alarm indicator glows red and the LED displays “E3” for under-voltage alarm or “EH” for over-voltage alarm. In this case, the repeater fails to work.

Solution

1. Check whether the power adapter is damaged.
   • If yes, replace the power adapter.
   • If no, go to step 2.
2. Check whether the input voltage of external power supply is beyond the repeater’s operating voltage range with a voltmeter.
   • If yes, replace the power adapter.
   • If no, contact your dealer for technical support

TX/RX Unlocked Alarm

Description
When the TX/RX phase-locked loop unlocks, the alarm indicator glows red and the LED displays “E4” for TX unlock or “E5” for RX unlock.
In this case, the repeater automatically fails to provide certain features.

Solution
Contact your dealer for technical support.

PA Over-temperature Alarm

Description
When the repeater detects that the internal temperature of the PA module exceeds the upper threshold, the alarm indicator glows red and the LED displays “E6”.
In this case, the repeater stops transmission.

Solution
CAUTION
When the repeater triggers this alarm, to avoid risk of burns, DO NOT touch the repeater.

1. Use the digital thermometer with thermocouple to check whether the surface temperature of the PA module is over 90°C.
   • If yes, go to step 2.
