FAULT ANNUNCIATIONS
Fault annunciations are a method of alerting the pilot that the radar
system is not performing to established standards. Built-in test equip-
ment (BITE) automatically and constantly tests the radar system. If a
fault occurs, the fault annunciation will be presented on the Display unit.
There are two general categories of faults: hard failures and soft
failure/annunciations. By careful observation of the Display, you can
quickly evaluate the condition of the ART 2000.
Hard failures are those which occur when a major function of the system
is lost. Hard failures are typically a total loss of transmitter power,
receiver gain or no antenna scan. Turn off system. Should the system
be left on, further damage to other system components could occur.
Hard Failures:
Annunciation
Failure
TX FLT Transmitter failure
429 FLT Loss of 429 bus data
ANT FLT Loss of antenna position
IN FLT 6 Loss of communication between
display and ART
