•
It is good practice to run the test sequence after system power-up or
•
after a system fault has occurred. This may be performed by the
flight crew or by maintenance personnel.
The test sequence may be run at any time as desired.
•
Note the test pattern on the display (see examples on page 7).
•
Observe the Test Sequence shown below (when on ground only).
•
Check for weather-related fault messages on the displays. It may
•
take up to 20 seconds after test completion for fault messages to
appear. (Fault messages are installation dependent. See FAULT
ANNUNCIATIONS on page 36 for examples.)
If a fault message appears, follow standard operating/maintenance
•
procedures. (See also FAULT ANNUNCIATIONS on page 36.)
Some configurations will show a TEST COMPLETE indication on the
•
test pattern once the test has finished. See examples on page 7.
For systems without the TEST COMPLETE indication, leave the
•
system in TEST for at least 50 seconds to ensure test completion.
For a dual system select TEST on the other system and repeat.
•
In test mode there is no radiation hazard to nearby personnel.
•
The configuration of the RDR-4000 installed in your aircraft can be
•
determined by examining the test pattern. See page 7.
Leave the system in TEST mode until it is safe to operate the radar.
•
When safe to do so select NORM or L/R.
