FELP | When the TSU 600 receives a FELP alarm, it will loop |
| the incoming data directly to the outgoing data. LINE |
| ON is placed in history. The alarms and loopback are |
| cleared when FELP is no longer received. |
|
|
Loss of Data | The TSU 600 will send MINOR ALARM and the A |
| SHELF ALARM for 2.5s when it quits receiving the |
| data link on the |
| Down in the history. After 2.5s, MAJOR ALARM, A |
| SHELF ALARM are sent across the Data Link. |

|
Loss of Signal | The TSU 600 will send MINOR ALARM and the A |
| SHELF ALARM for 2.5s when it quits receiving a |
| signal from the far end. It will also report |
| Down and LOS in the history. After 2.5s, MAJOR |
| ALARM, A SHELF ALARM are sent across the Data |
| Link, and RED ALARM is declared in history. |
|
|
BPVs | BPVs that are received at a rate greater than the |
| threshold set under |
| MINOR ALARM and A SHELF ALARM to be sent |
| on the DL. If the BPVs remain above the threshold for |
| 2.5s, the TSU 600 will send MAJOR ALARM and on |
| the DL. No events are placed in history. |
