UPCOM TECHNOLOGIES

Status Display

This indicator shows the general status of the Outdoor BUC – if everything is good, or if an

error condition has occurred, or if the unit has been manually disabled by mute control. Also,

the operating status of a Master/Slave redundant pair is reflected.

Temperature Display

Using the UPCOM TECHNOLOGIES Monitor and Control Software, a thermometer display

with a numeric readout of the base-plate temperature of the unit in degrees Celsius is shown.

The base-plate temperature typically experiences a 20 to 30 degree rise above ambient on the

highest power Outdoor BUCs and 15 to 20 degree rise on lower power units. This display

corresponds with the Temperature Monitor outlined in the analog M&C section above.

Output Power Display

A numeric readout of the output power level is displayed in units of dBm. The indicator is

calibrated at the factory using the middle frequency of the BUC, and has approximately a 20

dB dynamic range. When this range is exceeded, the readout shows “Low” or “High”

depending on which particular limit has been reached.

PS Voltages Monitor

The output voltage levels of the Power Supply are monitored and this alarm indicates when

any of them fall below a preset level. The unit will enter a muted state when this alarm is

active.

Manual Control Enable/Disable and Mute Input

A manual mute control can be accessed from the Enable/Disable button of the software. For

systems set up for 1:1 Redundant operation, this control is also used for manually selecting the

Active unit in a redundant pair.

Communication Status

The communication status between the software and the BUC is reflected here. If there is a

problem here, double-check all serial port connections and ensure the correct Com port is

selected (the software uses the Select Port menu item).
