System Test - ATC System (With the TIC T-48 or T-49 Test Set)
A.
General
(1)
This system test is a more complete check of the ATC system. The system test first does the ATC -
Operational Test. Then it uses ground test equipment to examine the left and right ATC systems.
(2)
This system test uses the TIC T-48 or T-49 test set to test the functionality of the ATC transponder.
The test set can do all the tests automatically or each test individually. Each test shows on the test set
as it is done. If a test has failed, the test sequence will stop and a failed message shows. All data will
show at the end of the test if the test is successful.
(3)
Operation with the antenna coupler, TAP-115, TAP 118, or TAP 125 used with the applicable test set,
is necessary when the test to do a check of the output power, receiver, sensitivity and radio frequency.
For mode S diversity channel isolation check, the TAP 125 is necessary.
