5.
Course knob (HSI) - Rotate until
course
pointer
indicates
approximately 0 degrees.
6.
TEST switch (NAV control unit) -
Depress and hold.
7.
NAV flag on the HSI will come into
view.
After
approximately
2
seconds the flag will go out of view,
the HIS course deviation bar will
approximately center, and a TO
indication will appear. The bearing
pointers will indicate approximately
a 0-degree magnetic bearing. The
VIR-32
will
return
to
normal
operation after approximately 15
seconds, even if the TEST switch is
held.
(2) ILS (Localizer and Glide Slope) Self-
Test.
1.
Tuning knobs (NAV control unit) -
Select a localizer frequency.
NOTE
A specific frequency is not required for the
test. Also, a signal on the frequency will not
interfere with the self-test.
2.
TEST switch (NAV control unit) -
Depress and hold.
3.
HSI - NAV and GS (glide slope)
flags will come into view. After
approximately 3 seconds, the flags
will go out of view, the HSI course
deviation
bar
will
deflect
right
approximately 2/3 of full scale and
the glide slope pointer will deflect
down approximately 2/3 of full scale.
4.
The VIR-32 will return to normal
operation after approximately 15
seconds, even if the TEST switch is
held.
(3) Marker beacon self-test. The marker
beacon assembly is tested automatically when the self-
test is actuated and either a VOR or localizer frequency
is selected. Proper operation of the marker beacon
assembly is indicated when all three marker indicators
are displayed on the EADI. A 30 Hz tone will also be
present in the marker beacon audio output.
e.
Marker beacon audio. Marker beacon audio
generally associated with an ILS, must be source
selected by the NAV A or B audio selector switches
located on the audio control panel. Sensitivity selection
for marker beacon audio is accomplished by a toggle
switch placarded MKR BCN HI-LO, and audio volume is
controlled by a knob placarded VOL (both are located on
the pedestal extension, fig. 2-14).
f.
Diagnostic display.
NOTE
The diagnostic routines are intended as an
extension of the self-test capability. The
pilot should first observe the deviation
indicators and associated flags for the
proper self-test responses. If a fault
condition exists, the problem may be verified
in more detail by the diagnostics.
An extensive self-test diagnostic routine is also
initiated in the VIR-32 NAV receiver by pushing the
TEST switch on the NAV control unit. The NAV control
unit will modulate the active and preset display intensity
from minimum to maximum to annunciate the self-test is
in progress. If a fault condition existed prior to actuating
self-test, the NAV control unit will display the diagnostic
code associated with the fault for approximately 2
seconds immediately after the TEST switch is pressed
(the code will appear in the preset display). If a fault is
detected during self-test, that fault code will also be
displayed on the NAV control unit along with the word
DIAG', 'FLAG', or four dashes ('----'): in the active
display. The four dashes will be displayed along with the
code '00' indicating that no faults have been found.
'FLAG will be displayed along with a 2-digit code when
something is abnormal but a failure has not occurred
(i.e. low signal level, etc). 'DIAG is displayed along
with a code to indicate a failure has been detected in the
VIR-32. Completion of self-test is indicated when either
the normal frequency displays or a fault code is
displayed on the NAV control. A partial list of diagnostic
and fault codes is provided in table 3-7. (The TEST
switch must be pushed before any fault code can be
displayed.)
3-25.
ADF RECEIVER (ADF-60).
a.
Introduction. The ADF receiver (fig. 3-25),
provides aural reception of signals from a selected
ground station and indicates relative bearing to that
station. The ground station must be within the frequency
range of 190 to 1749.5 kHz. The ADF receiver has three
functional modes of operation. In the antenna (ANT)
mode the ADF receiver functions as an aural receiver,
providing only an aural output of the received signal. In
