2 |
Hard |
Five volt supply voltage too low. |
3 |
Hard |
Five volt supply voltage too high. |
5 |
Hard |
Plate voltage abnormally low. |
6 |

12 |
Soft |
Excessive input reflected power. |
13 |
Soft |
Excessive and unsafe drive power. |
14 |
Soft |
Excessive load reflected power or RF voltage. May be caused by excessive load VSWR at an otherwise acceptable power (e.g. 4:1 at 1.5 kW) or excessive power at otherwise acceptable load VSWR (e.g. 2.5 kW at 1.9:1). |
16 |
Soft |
Plate current greater than 1.35 amp for more than 4 seconds continuous. Note: The IP button LED flashes for several seconds before a fault 16 IP trip occurs. |
17 |
Soft |
