Operational Controls
RDR 2100 OPERATIONAL CONTROLS
BRT - Controls brightness of the indicator display (CW
rotation for max brightness).
Wx/WxA - Alternately selects between the Wx
(weather) and WxA (weather-alert) modes of operation.
“Wx” or “WxA” will appear in the lower left of the dis-
play. Wx or WxA colors are: Black for no returns, Green
for weak returns, Yellow for moderate returns, Red for
heavy returns and Magenta for intense returns. When
the WxA mode is selected, magenta areas of storms
flash between magenta and black at a 1 HZ rate.
VP - Selects and deselects the Vertical Profile mode of
operation. When VP is selected on the indicator the
radar will provide a vertical scan of ±30 degrees at the
location of the horizontal track line. Selecting the VP
mode of operation will not change the selected mode of
operation: TST, Wx, WxA or GND MAP. Once in VP,
these modes may be changed as desired. VP will
engage from the NAV MAP mode, but NAV data will not
be displayed during VP operation.
NAV MAP - Places indicator in navigation mode so
that preprogrammed waypoints may be displayed. If
other modes are also selected, the NAV display will be
superimposed on them. This button is effective only if
an optional radar graphics unit and Flight Management
System is installed. If activated without these units, NO
NAV will appear at lower left of screen. The radar will
display weather when NAV MAP is selected if the radar
selector is in the ON position.
GND MAP - Places the radar system in ground map-
ping mode. Gain control capability is configurable at
installation to be enabled or disabled in ground map
mode. Ground map colors are: green for weak returns,
yellow for moderate returns and magenta for intense
returns. “MAP” will appear on the lower left of the dis-
play.
