modulate the active and preset display intensity from
minimum to maximum to annunciate that self-test is in
progress. Several audio tones will be heard from the
audio system while the self-test routine is being
executed. At the completion of the self-test program,
the transceiver control unit will usually display dashes
in the active display, and 00 in the preset display. This
indicates normal operation. If any out-of-limit condition
is found, transceiver control unit will display diagnostic
(DIAG) in the active display and a 2-digit fault code in
the preset display. Record any fault codes displayed
to help the service technician locate the problem.
Refer to Table 3B-2 for a description of the self-test
fault codes that can be displayed on the transceiver
control unit. The TEST button must be pushed before
any fault code can be displayed.
3B-9. HF COMMUNICATION SET (KHF-950).
a. Description. The KHF-950 HF system
consists of three units; the pedestal mounted KCU-951
control
panel,
the
remote
KAC-952
power
amplifier/antenna
coupler,
and
the
KTR -953
receiver/exciter. The system will operate on any
0.1 kHz frequency between 2,000 and 29,999.9 kHz.
With the capability to preset and store 99
frequencies for selection during flight, the system also
allows for selection of other frequencies manually
(direct tuning) or reprogramming of any preset
frequency. The system will automatically match the
antenna by keying the microphone. Power to the
system is routed through a 25-ampere circuit breaker,
placarded HF PWR. The receiving portion of the
system is protected by a 5 -ampere circuit breaker,
placarded HF RECVR. Both circuit breakers are
located on the overhead circuit breaker panel,
Figure 2-16, Sheet 3.
The HF system has two methods of frequency
selection. The first method is called direct tuning
(frequency agile). The second is a channelized
operation in which desired operating frequencies are
preset, stored and referenced to a channel number.
b. Controls and Functions. Refer to Figure
3B-4.
(1) FREQ Display. Displays frequency
selected.
(2) Mode Display. Displays selected LSB,
AM, or USB mode.
(3) CHANNEL Display. Displays channel
selected.
(4) Light Sensor. The light sensor is a
photocell which adjusts brightness of the display.
(5) MODE Button. The mode switch is a
momentary push button switch that selects LSB, AM or
USB.
