ENABLING THE STANDBY STATE LOW POWER

CONSUMPTION

If Standby State Lower Power Consumption is enabled,

the power consumption while the transceiver is in the

standby state can be reduced to below 0.5 W; however, it

may take longer time to start up compared with the same

for the normal operation.
1 Press [ADV.] (F) from the Menu screen to open the

Advanced Menu screen.

2 Access Menu 22, "Standby State Low Power

Consumption".

3 Press [SELECT] (F4) to allow editing of the parameter

box.

4 Press [-] (F4) or [+] (F5) to select "On" or "Off".

The default is "Off" (K-type) (disabling the Standby State

Low Power Consumption) and "On" (E-type). Selecting "On"

reduces the power consumption to 0.5 W during the standby

state; however, it takes 40 seconds to start up.

5 Press [

] (F1).

6 Press [MENU] to exit.

Note:

◆ If Standby State Low Power Consumption is enabled, the

transceiver cannot accept a PC command. To start up the

transceiver using a PC, be sure to disable, in Advanced Menu 22,

the Standby State Low Power Consumption.

◆ 20 W Standby Electricity is consumed even after the transceiver

power ( ) turns OFF and if “Off” has been configured in Advanced

Menu 22. Therefore, the cooling fan may run depending on the

operating temperature in order to limit the temperature increase

of the power supply unit during the standby state. If the rotation

of the cooling fan during the standby state for the power supply

unit is noticeable, you can select “On” in Advanced Menu 22 not

to increase the temperature of the power supply unit. To make

the standby state power consumption not exceed 0.5 W, you can

enable the Standby State Low Power Consumption, or press the

main power switch (I/O) on the rear panel to the “O” position to shut

down the electricity. In this case, it takes 40 seconds to start up.

CONTROLLING THE COOLING FAN WHILE IN THE

STANDBY STATE

Even after the transceiver power ( ) is turned OFF

(standby state) and the " " LED lights orange, the cooling

fan for the final unit can be activated to quickly cool down

the final unit.
1 Press [ADV.] (F) from the Menu screen to open the

Advanced Menu screen.

2 Access Menu 23, "Cooling Fan Control after

Shutdown".

3 Press [SELECT] (F4) to allow editing of the parameter

box.

4 Press [-] (F4) or [+] (F5) to select “On” or “Off”.

The default is “Off” (not activating the cooling fan after the

transceiver power

( )

turns OFF). Selecting “On” allows the

cooling fan to run even while the transceiver power

( )

turns

OFF.

5 Press [

] (F1).

6 Press [MENU] to exit.

Note:

◆ The cooling fan automatically stops when the temperature of the

transceiver has decreased.

◆ If you select "Off" from Menu 22, "Standby State Low Power

Consumption", in the Advanced Menu screen, the cooling fan will

be reactivated due to any increase in the internal temperature of

the transceiver, even after the cooling fan has completely stopped.

◆ Standby electricity is consumed even after the transceiver

power ( ) has turned OFF. This causes the cooling fan to run

unexpectedly.
