Section 6--Testing Procedures
6.2
6.2.
Automatic Self-Test
The Eagle II performs an internal accuracy test whenever
the unit's mode of operation is changed, such as changing
from moving to stationary, or upon the lapse of a maximum
time period of 5 minutes, as long as the unit is powered up.
This test is automatic and will not interfere with any radar
speed-readings being taken. The test does not appear in the
displays, but if an error is detected during this test, the
TARGET display will indicate “Er
X
” and further speed-
readings will be inhibited.
6.3.
Manual Test
The operator can depress the TEST switch at any time
during normal radar operation to perform the lamp and
internal tests as described in 6.4. If the Eagle II is in the
stopwatch mode and a timing cycle is in process, the test
switch is inoperative until the timing cycle has ended.
NOTE: The audio and range indications will not be
displayed during a manual test.
NOTE: If the antenna label reads “DCM”, the unit will
remain in the TEST state for 30 seconds after
releasing the TEST switch, indicated by the
flashing TEST LED. Due to the ability of the unit
to reject interfering signals, the operator must
place the unit in the TEST mode to read tuning
forks. (See Sec. 6.5).
