SECTION 6—TESTING PROCEDURES

6.4.4 TUNING FORK TEST FAILURE

If the proper speed readings are not obtained during the

previous tests, check the following:

1. The Raptor RP-1 cannot test tuning forks if the system

is not in Test mode as indicated by the FORK TEST
displayed in the message area.

2. Verify that the tuning forks are the proper tuning forks

supplied with the unit.

3. Striking the tuning fork too hard or on a metallic

surface will cause spurious overtones from the tuning

fork. This may cause the speed readings to double the

specified speed. Also, moving the tuning fork while in

front of the antenna may cause the speed reading to be

slightly lower or higher than specified. These readings

are only momentary, and the proper readings should

appear as the false overtones dissipate.

NOTE: Do not move the tuning forks after they have been

placed in front of the antenna.

4. Ensure that the Raptor RP-1 is in the transmit mode and

the range control is set to maximum.

5. If the proper readings cannot be obtained, remove the

unit from service and contact Kustom Signals Service
