Operating Procedures.
WARNING
It is not practical to provide monitoring for all
conceivable
system
failures
and,
it
is
possible that erroneous operation could
occur without a fault indication. It is the
responsibility of the pilot to detect such an
occurrence by means of cross-checks with
redundant or correlated information available
in the cockpit.
(1) Equipment turn on. The ADF receiver
and the control unit are turned on by rotating the power
and mode switch on the ADF control unit to the ANT,
ADF, or TONE position. After power is applied, the
control unit displays the same active and preset
frequencies that were present when the equipment was
last turned off.
(2) Frequency
selection.
Frequency
selection is made using either the frequency select
knobs or the XFR/MEM (transfer/memory recall switch).
For future developments, the control unit has a
normal frequency range of 190.00 to 1799.5 kHz.
However, when used with the ADF-60, the upper
frequency is limited to 1749.5 kHz. Rotation of either
frequency select knob increases or decreases the
frequency in the preset frequency display. The larger
outer knob changes the frequency in 1000-kHz and 100-
kHz increments (first and second numbers from the left).
The smaller inner knob changes the frequency in 10's,
units, and tenths kHz increments (third, fourth, and fifth
numbers from the left). After the desired frequency is
set in the preset frequency display, it can be transferred
to the active frequency display by momentarily setting
the XFR/MEM switch to XFR. At the same time that the
preset frequency is transferred to the active display, the
previously active frequency is transferred to the preset
display. The ACT annunciator on the control flashes
while the receiver is tuning to the new frequency.
NOTE
If the ACT annunciator continues flashing, it
indicates that the receiver is not tuned to the
frequency displayed in the active display.
The ADF control unit has a memory that permits
storing up to four preset frequencies. Once stored,
these frequencies can be recalled to the preset display
by positioning the XFR/MEM switch to the MEM position.
The storage location ( CH 1 through CH 4 ) for the
recalled frequency is displayed in the active frequency
display while the XFR/MEM switch is held in the MEM
position. All four stored frequencies can be displayed
one at a time in the preset display by repeatedly
positioning the XFR/MEM switch to the MEM position.
After the desired stored frequency has been recalled to
the preset display, it can be transferred to the active
display by momentarily positioning the XFR/MEM switch
to the XFR position. During normal operation, all
frequency selections and revisions are done in the
preset frequency display. However, the active frequency
can be selected directly as described in the following
paragraph.
(3) Direct active frequency selection. The
active frequency can be selected directly with the
frequency select knobs by pushing the ACT switch for 2
seconds. The active frequency selection mode is
indicated by dashes appearing in the preset display.
The ACT annunciator will flash as the frequency select
knobs are turned to indicate that the transceiver is being
retuned.
NOTE
If the ACT annunciator continues flashing, it
indicates that the receiver is not tuned to the
frequency displayed in the active display.
To return to the preset frequency selection
mode, push the ACT switch again for 2 seconds. As a
safety
feature,
the
ADF
receiver
control
unit
automatically switches to the active frequency selection
mode when a frequency select knob is operated while
the STO, TEST, or XFR/MEM switches are actuated, or
the memory recall inputs to the control are grounded.
(4) Frequency storage. Up to four preset
frequencies can be stored in the memory in the ADF
receiver control unit for future recall. To program the
memory, select the frequency in the preset frequency
display using the frequency select knobs and push the
STO switch once. One of the channel numbers (CH 1
through CH 4) will appear in the active display for
approximately five seconds. During this time the
channel number can be changed without changing the
preset
frequency
by
momentarily
positioning
the
XFR/MEM switch to the MEM position. After the desired
channel number has been selected, push the STO
switch again to store the frequency.
