Diagnostic LEDs
Use diagnostic LEDs on RTK radio and in-line amplier
to determine working state of RTK Radio 450 system.
RTK Radio 450 LEDs
PC13863—UN—13JUL11
A—LED Window
After radio is powered, three LEDs in window (A) display
working state of radio.
NOTE: RTK Radio 450 allows up to 6 min. for machine
and base station to connect.
Radio enters conguration mode when parameters are
being read or set, and when diagnostics are being
retrieved. Radio does not transmit or receive
communications while in congure mode.

Amplier LEDs
PUPC000031—UN—07DEC09
LEDs are located on side of amplier.
Power LED indicates amplier has DC power.
TX LED indicates RF signal is being actively amplied
and transmitted. Blinking light indicates normal function.
O/T LED indicates unit has exceeded its internal
temperature limits. When light is on, unit ceases
amplication and waits to cool down to prevent
permanent damage.
VSWR LED indicates faulty antenna path. When light is
on, unit ceases amplication. Output power is prevented
