PREFLIGHT CHECK

A. Energize the radar bus and vertical gyro reference bus. Ensure that +28 Vdc and the 400
Hz, 5 kHz power (10, 26, or 115 Vac), 14/28 VP-P or ARINC 429 stabilization inputs are
being supplied to the system. Check that the vertical (stabilization) gyro is erected. Allow
the gyro a minimum of 3 minutes to erect and stabilize before commencing with the align-
ment.
B. Vary the external panel lighting voltage (dim control) for maximum panel brightness. Cov-
er the indicator mask and check the white panel markings for even light distribution. Re-
duce the lighting voltage. The panel lighting should dim.
C. Set the radar indicator or radar control panel function switch to TST. The antenna scans
in the TEST mode.
D. Set the brightness (BRT) control to midrange; set the antenna control to any tilt position
with antenna stabilization on. The range will be automatically set to 80 miles.
E. The test pattern should appear on the indicator screen. Adjust BRT again, as required.
