(1) Equipment Startup. The VIR-32 receiver
and the CTL -32 NAV control are turned on by rotating
the power and mode switch on the NAV control to the
ON position. After power is applied, the CTL-32
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).
Rotation
of
either
frequency
select
knob
increases or decreases the frequency in the present
frequency display. The larger, outer knob changes the
frequency in 1-MHz increments (number to the left of
decimal point). The smaller, inner knob changes the
frequency in 0.05-MHz increments.
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 CTL-32 has 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 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 s witch 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 direct active frequency selection
paragraph.
(3) Direct Active Frequency Selection. The
active frequency can be selected directly with the
frequency select knobs by pushing the ACT button for
about 2 seconds. The active frequency selection
mode is indicated by dashes appearing in the preset
display. Also, the ACT annunciator will flash as the
frequency select knobs are turned to indicate that the
receiver is being re-tuned.
NOTE
If the ACT annunciator continues flashing
after the frequency has been selected, 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 button again for about 2
seconds.
As a safety feature, the CTL-32 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.
(4) Frequency Storage. Up to four preset
frequencies can be stored in the memory in the CTL-
32 for future recall. To program the memory, select
the frequency in the preset frequency display using the
frequency select knobs and push the STO button
once. One of the channel numbers (CH 1 through CH
4) will appear in the active display for approximately 5
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 button again to store the
frequency.
NOTE
When storing a frequency, the second
actuation of the STO button must be done
within 5 seconds after selecting the
channel number or the first actuation of the
STO button. If more than 4 seconds
elapse, the control will revert to the normal
modes of operation and the second store
command will be interpreted as the first
store command.
After a frequency has been stored in memory, it
will remain there until changed by using the STO
button. Memory is retained even when the unit is
turned off for an extended period of time.
(5) Self-Test. During self-test, the VIR-32
provides VOR, ILS, and marker beacon test outputs.
The following paragraphs provide the procedures
required and the results to be expected when
performing the self-test.
