SECTION 6—TESTING PROCEDURES
6.2 AUTOMATIC SELF-TEST
As long as the unit is turned on, the Raptor RP-1performs
an internal accuracy test every 5 minutes or whenever the
unit’s mode of operation is changed, such as moving to
stationary, and each time the target speed is locked.
This test is automatic and will not interfere with any radar
speed readings being taken. The test passing does not
appear in the displays, but if an error is detected during this
test, the specific error message will be displayed in the
message area and further speed-readings are prohibited.
6.3 MANUAL TEST
The operator can manually perform the display and internal
tests at any time during normal radar operation—just press
and release the Test (
) switch. The display test will be
performed followed by the display of test results screen.
NOTE: The unit will remain in the TEST state for 30
seconds after releasing the TEST switch,
indicated by “FORK TEST” displayed in the
message area. Due to the ability of the unit to
reject non- directional signals, the operator must
place the unit in this TEST mode to read tuning
forks.
