FUNCTION SELECTOR CTA 81 B CONTROL UNIT ONLY
(SELECTS OPERATING MODE)

tions. The left ATC 1 TEST position (CCW) tests the Mode S
Transponder and the TCAS system. The right ATC 2 TEST position
(CW) tests the ATCRBS transponder only.

Moving the spring loaded knob to either TEST position initiates a self
test in the respective unit. Refer to the Test section in the Appendix
for a detailed description of test function.

Selection of either STBY position places both transponders and
TCAS II system in standby. Use standby during ground operations.
