3.4 Operating modes
CAUTION Once initialised wait 15 minutes to allow the pressure measurement system
to reach a stable operating temperature. The “Warm-up” period can be reduced to 5
minutes if the system has been powered following a short period of inactivity.
The air data test system can now be set for a variety of functions and modes that follow:
1. Pressure measurement mode
2. Pressure control mode
3. Timed leak rate measurement
4. Control to local ground pressure
The ADTS 405 always powers-up in Measure mode with the pressure controllers off. When
changing to Control Mode the pump unit must be switched on and producing the correct pressure
and vacuum.
Each operating function shows the required key presses to set displays and selections.
