No dedicated external power control for the WX-500 Stormscope is
provided. The WX-500 is powered through the AVIONICS BUS 1 switch
and is current-protected by the STORM SCOPE circuit breaker. At
startup, the WX-500 will perform self-tests and provide error messages,
if necessary, through the G1000 Primary Flight Display (PFD) ALERTS
window and MFD MAP-WEATHER MAP page. See the WX-500 User's
Guide for recommended actions if an error message appears.
WX-500 weather data can be displayed on the MFD MAP-WEATHER
MAP page or may be displayed (overlaid) on the MAP-NAVIGATION
MAP page and/or the PFD INSET MAP display. From the MFD MAP-
WEATHER MAP page, the user may select the desired view (360° or
120°) by pressing the VIEW softkey. The range (25 to 200 nautical
miles) may be set by rotating the RNG control knob on the MFD bezel.
The user may also choose between Strike or Cell display modes using
the MODE softkey. See the WX-500 User's Guide for information
regarding Strike and Cell mode display differences.
To overlay weather data on the MFD MAP-NAVIGATION MAP page,
select the MAP softkey, then select the LTNG softkey and finally select
the BACK softkey to return to the map. Availability will be shown by a
lightning bolt icon in the lower right corner of the map page (grouped
with icons for TRAFFIC, TOPO and TERRAIN, if selected ON).
Lightning strikes will be depicted on the Map Mode display as yellow
lightning bolts. The Stormscope display mode (Strike or Cell) will be as
selected on the MAP-WEATHER MAP page. The view setting will be
120° ARC and the range setting will match the NAVIGATION MAP
range selection to 200 nm.
NOTE
In evaluating lightning strike data, it may be useful to clear
the accumulated strike points on the display from time to
time and then monitoring the reappearance of strike activity
on the cleared display.
