Introduction

Limited testing and fault finding can be carried out by the operator. Units can be returned to the

nearest GE (www.gemeasurement.co m) or approved service centre for fault finding and rectifi-
cation.

At power-up, the ADTS indicates if there is a fault by flashing an error code and/or displaying a

message.

Any fault conditions must be rectified before the ADTS can be used for aircraft system testing.
