COMMAND SYSTEMS DIVISION
2.7.5 RF Operation Check Procedure
Whenever the function switch is in the "ON"
or "60°°" position, RF energy is being radiated.
Do not allow personnel to stand within 15 feet
of the area being scanned by antenna. Tests
involving the radiation of RF energy must not
be made in the vicinity of refueling operations.
Always use "test" or "standby' positions as
applicable.
(1) Rotate the Function Select Switch on the Radar Control Panel to the TEST position. Rotate the
Function Select Switch on the Radar Control Panel to the ON position after the system has been
in TEST for at least 100 seconds. Use WOW override if WOW function is installed.
(2) Check for target reflections of local weather (if any) by indexing the RANGE pushbuttons on the
MFD Control Panel(s) (or CP-113A) to each range position while tilting the antenna upward
above the horizon, using the TILT control on the Radar Control Panel.
(3) Index the RANGE pushbuttons through the ten range positions. Note that the corresponding
range and range mark intervals appear in the alphanumeric area of the display. Note that targets
on display (if any) shift their relative position.
(4) Change the mode setting and note that display(s) change accordingly.
(5) For two display configurations only: Change the range on both displays and note that each display
changes range independently of each other (providing that the system configuration allows for
both displays to range independently of one another).
Note
+ When the radar system is operating in a search
1 or 2 mode, and display number one’s range is
at 10 nautical miles or less, and display number
two’s range is greater than 10 nautical miles,
the radar system will convert to dual scan mode.
The antenna scan from right to left will update
display number one, and the antenna scan form
left to right will update display number two.
(6) Rotate the function switch to STBY.
