appear. The EHSI pointers will
indicate approximately a 0° magnetic
bearing.
5. The VIR-32 will return to normal
operation
after
approximately
15
seconds, even if the TEST button is
held.
(7) ILS (Localizer and Glideslope) Self-Test.
NOTE
Anytime an ILS frequency is selected, the
EHSI bearing pointer will drive to park at
the 3 o'clock position.
1. Selection a localizer frequency on the
CTL -32
NAV
Control
(a
specific
frequency is not required for test).
2. Press the TEST button on the CTL-32.
3. The NAV and GS flags will come into
view.
4. After approximately 3 seconds, the
flags will go out of view, the EHSI
lateral deviation bar will deflect right
approximately 2/3 of full-scale and the
glideslope pointer will deflect down
approximately 2/3 of full-scale.
5. The VIR-32 will return to normal
operation
after
approximately
15
seconds, even if the TEST button is
held.
(8) 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 by all three marker
lamps lighted (they flicker perceptibly, at a 20-Hz rate).
A 20-Hz tone will also be present in the marker audio
output.
(9) Mark er Beacon Audio. Marker Beacon
Audio generally associated with an ILS, must be
source selected by the MKR BCN 1 or 2 audio
selector switches located on the audio control panel.
Sensitivity selection for marker beacon audio is
accomplished by a toggle switch placarded, MKR BCN
1 & 2 HI-LO, located to the right of the color radar.
(10) Diagnostic Display.
CAUTION
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 by pushing the TEST button on
the CTL -32. The CTL -32 will modulate the active and
preset display intensity from minimum to maximum to
annunciate that self-test is in progress. If a fault
condition existed prior to actuating self-test, the
CTL -32 will display the diagnostic code associated
with the fault for approximately 2 seconds immediately
after the TEST button 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
CTL -32 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 below. The codes are listed in
numerical order. The TEST button must be pushed
before any fault code can be displayed. Refer to Table
3B-102.
(11) Normal Operation. Selection procedures
and display of the VHF NAV information is the same
as the described for TACAN. When changing VOR
frequencies and until signal lock-on, the RMI/HSI
bearing pointers (OSA) the RMI bearing pointer (ANG)
will drive tot he park or 3 o'clock position and the HSI
Nav warning flag will be in view. In the ILS mode, the
bearing pointer(s) will remain in the park position.
NOTE
During ILS operation, the NAV 1 and NAV 2
deviation relays are monitored by a failure
warning system. Failure of one of these
relays will be indicated by the appearance
of the HSI NAV and/or VERT flags.
