SYSTEM BENCH REQUIREMENTS

In order to perform the IC-600 test on the system bench, the following requirements must be met: The 115 V ac 400 Hz bench power is ON. The 28 V dc bench power is ON. Factory test identification discretes are all open. (These discretes into the IC-600 should not be wired in the aircraft or system bench. They are intended for use in a factory repair environment only.) The IC-600, displays, and remaining avionics must be powered on to optimize self test results.

3.1
TEST MODES
IN-AIR-INITIATED TEST
An in flight (Weight Off Wheels) test may be initiated by pushing and holding the TEST button on the DC-550 (Figure 3.1.1). NOTE: This test is inhibited when Glide Slope is captured.
The test results in the active FD mode annunciations on the PFD being replaced by a magenta TEST annunciation (Figure 3.1.2). The Radio Altimeter will also be commanded into the test mode resulting in the display of a fixed radio altitude of 100 ft. The MFD and EICAS will not change during this test. No other visible testing of the IC-600 will be executed during in this in-air test. However, background testing of the IC-600 is continually in process verifying such parameters as power supply levels, analog to digital functions, software/hardware validity, and other parameters.

Determined through the configuration discretes
A PASS/FAIL status indicates that the test is performed utilizing the manipulation of end-around hardware signals. These tests multiply the internal signals into the appropriate hardware. In the case of analog signals, the internal test voltages are used. Each test is run again after the first failure to avoid erroneous FAIL determination. A VALD/INVD (Valid/Invalid) status implies that the test is performed on incoming signals and NOT on internally wrapped signals.

Table 7-1. Ground Maintenance Test (GMT) Procedures As each segment of hardware is tested the red FAIL/INVD annunciation will be replaced by a green PASS or valid (VALD) if the hardware test is successful. It may be necessary to run through the tests more than once to isolate intermittents. IBIT determines the status of the following items within the IC-600 as directed by the configuration: Autopilot status (if installed) Flight Director status Symbol Generator status IBIT also tests the external or blind sensors are checked for valid data (a blind sensor is one whose failure is NOT apparent): Display Unit (DU-870) ATT/HDG interface Radio Alt Interface Radio Interface Display Controller Lamp Drivers ADC data (MADC). The results of the Initiated Test are displayed on the PFD without further operator action. When the FAIL/INVD annunciation remains after performing the tests, the following actions should be accomplished: Verify the appropriate LRU providing the tested interface is installed and power is applied. Verify the wiring interface between the tested IC and LRU is correct. Replace the tested LRU with the cross-side unit to verify if condition remains. If not, replace suspect LRU and document the failed condition. Details of specific actions may be found in the manufacturers aircraft fault isolation manual.

MAINTENANCE TEST MODE

The maintenance displays provide the capability for the end user to display maintenance pages on the PFD. To enter the Maintenance Test Mode: Use the decision height (RA) knob on the DC-550 (Figure 3.1.1) to set a RA value between 600 and 990 feet. Please note that four (4) INDEX pages at RA settings of 600, 610, 620, and 630 are provided as a reference to the available maintenance pages. Select decesion height knob on DC-550 for 600 or above on PFD. Push and hold TEST button/knob on the DC-550 for approximately 5 to 7 seconds . While holding TEST button, push ET button on the DC-550. Release the TEST button. The IC-600 should now be in the maintenance test mode and will remain in test (via software) until it is cancelled by another press of the TEST button OR selecting a RA setting below 600. In Maintenance Test mode, the MFD will be exactly the same as in the On-Ground-Initiated Test mode. The PFD will be replaced with the results of the various maintenance tests. These results are displayed on several pages which are selected by the RA set knob on the DC-550. In addition to test results, there are also pages of sensor status and other miscellaneous information. There will be a distinct page (and possible subpages) for each setting of RA, beginning with 600 ft. and then for every 10 ft. above (i.e., 610, 620, etc). There are two sets of maintenance pages which are selectable based on the pushbutton selections. One set of maintenance pages, customer maintenance pages, are displayed for use in determining the valid operation of the IC-600. These pages are activated by pressing the TEST pushbutton approximately 5 to 7 seconds and then pressing the ET pushbutton. The second set of maintenance pages, engineering maintenance pages, are displayed to assist in troubleshooting the IC-600 internal operation. These engineering pages are activated by setting RA to 990 or greater and pressing the FULL/WX pushbutton while in the customer maintenance pages. Once the engineering pages have been entered, to display the customer mainenance pages upon re-entering the Maintenance Test Mode the ET pushbutton must be selected again or the engineering pages will be displayed.

Data is wrapped back from display units, the MFD and EICAS on the HDLC bus and the PFD on a ARINC 429 channel. If any of the wrapped parameters do not agree, the DU WRAP will be set to FAIL. When this occurs, the following acctions should be taken: Verify the appropriate DU is installed with power applied to the unit. Verify the appropriate Display Wrap Around interface between the IC-600 and the suspect DU. Replace the suspect DU with a DU from another position and if the FAIL condition continues to be observed, document the condition and remove the unit for repair. PFD, MFD, and EICAS VALIDs remain true if the labels being sent from the DU to IC-600 are fresh. Each PFD (DUs #1 and #5) provide data via Arinc 429, while each MFD and the EICAS (DUs #2, 3, and 4) provide data via HDLC. The DU Cooling Fan status is monitored by the Dispaly Units and the status is sent to the IC-600 via the Wrap Arounds. If the FAIL annunciation is displayed, the following actions should be taken: Verify that nothing is obstructing the fan inlet or outlet for the appropriate DU. Replace the suspect DU with a DU from another position and if the FAIL condition continues to be observed, document the condition and remove the unit for repair. 3.3.3.1 Display Units - Pilots Side (RA Setting 660)

Whenever the staus is displayed as I, the following actions should be taken: Enter GMT on the cross-side IC-600 and observe the parameter in question. For example, if the parameter is question is the Primary Pitch, then the cross-side IC-600 Secondary pitch should be observed. If the two separate GMTs agree, then replace the AHRS with the cross-side AHRS and repeat the GMT. If the status remains displayed as I, then the AHRS should be replaced and the discrepant condition documented. Note that the primary pitch for IC-600 No.1 is AHRS No. 1 and the Secondary pitch for IC-600 No. 2 is AHRS No. 2, while the Primary Pitch for IC-600 No. 2 is AHRS No. 2 and the Secondary Pitch for IC-600 No. 2 is AHRS No. 1. If the two separate GMTs do not agree, verify the ARINC 429 interface to the IC-600s and the AHRS.

Perform GMT on the cross-side IC-600. If all the parameters also show a FAIL condition, the suspect MADC should be replaced. If the parameters show a VALID condition for the cross-side GMT test, then the ARINC 429 interface for the suspect MADC should be verified. Whenever a FAIL condition is displayed for only one or some of the parameters, the following actions should be taken: The MADC should be replaced with the cross-side MADC. If the parameters now display a VALID condition, the suspect MADC should be replaced. If the FAIL condition remains, verify the pitot/static interface with the suspect MADC.

EVENT CODES
NOTE 1: If an Event Code No. is displayed and it is not listed in this document, Event Codes, please contact your local Customer Support Engineer for further instruction. NOTE 2: Please write the Event Code No. on your exchange or repair transaction. Please provide details regarding maintenance actions required to fix system anomalies. There are two categories of IC-600 failure and associated codes: (a) Power-up failures - These result in a latched failure which can only be reset by cycling the 28V dc circuit breaker. Power-up failures are identified as Event Codes 0001-0199 and all 90XX codes. (b) Continuous monitored failures - These result in AP/YD disengage with an associated Event Code, all 02XX and 91XX codes. If one of these monitors trips, such as in overpowering the autopilot, and the AP FAIL annunciation is displayed on the EFIS/EICAS, the failure can be reset by holding the AP DISC button for 2 second. Resetting the IC-600 circuit breaker will also reset the computer, however, the preferred method is the AP disconnect button. Not all of the 02XX or 91XX codes will result in the AP failing. They may result in the AP disconnecting, for example, a code 0207 - Primary Pitch invalid. Event codes 03XX and 04XX are codes which are logged but do not prevent AP engagement. CAUTION: IT IS IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT AT NO TIME SHOULD MAINTENANCE PERSONNEL ATTEMPT TO REPLACE A HONEYWELL LRU BASED ON EVENT CODES ALONE. IN MOST CASES, THE RECORDED EVENT CODES SHOULD BE USED AS A TOOL ALONG WITH TRADITIONAL GROUND TESTING AND OTHER STANDARD MAINTENANCE PRACTICES.

SECTION II STANDARD GROUND TEST PROCEDURE 1. INTRODUCTION

The purpose of the following tests is to verify functionality of each component and its associated wiring. Inputs and outputs for each LRU will be tested. IC-600 internal functions such as gain programming and monitors will not be exercised as they are verified at power up by software checks. Prior to testing ensure all sensors and radios are valid. In many instances the reader will be referenced to Section I, IC-600 Self Test, where component and interface functionality can be verified. All values stated in these tests have a 10% tolerance.
2.
DISCRETE INPUT VERIFICATIONS

PRIMUS 650/660 WEATHER RADAR SYSTEM CHECK

The following paragraphs provide the procedures for operation and checkout of the radar.
2.1
PRELIMINARY CONTROL SETTINGS

Place the system controls on the WC-650 Controller in the following positions before applying power from the aircraft electrical system: MODE OFF GAIN Fully counterclockwise TILT Fully clockwise to +15 position Function WX
2.2
PRECAUTIONS
If radar is to be operated in any mode other than STBY , included TEST mode, while the aircraft is on the ground: (a) Direct the nose of the aircraft so that the antenna scan sector is free of large metallic objects such as hangars or other aircraft for a distance of 100 feet and tilt antenna fully upwards. (b) Avoid operations during refueling of aircraft or other refueling operations within 100 feet. (c) Avoid operation if personnel are standing too close in the 270 degree forward section of the aircraft. Referring to the Maximum Permissible Exposure Level, this distance would be a 5foot radius from the antenna.
2.3
TEST PATTERN
After warm up, select TEST mode and verify that the test pattern appears as shown in Section II Figure 12.1.1 or Figure 12.1.2. If the noise band is missing or broken it is indicative of problems with the system.

STABILIZATION INPUT
PRELIMINARY CHECKS (a) Level the pitch and roll reference axes of the aircraft relative to the earths surface. (b) Verify that the mounting surface of the RTA is aligned to the pitch and roll reference axes of the aircraft within degree.
2.4.2
ELEVATION FEEDBACK CHECK/ADJUSTMENT (a) Set the XMTR switch on the RTA housing to the OFF position. (b) On the radar controller, select the STANDBY mode. (c) Set the SCAN switch on the RTA housing to the OFF position. On the radar controller, adjust the tilt control for 0.0 degree, as displayed on the EFIS/MFD display. NOTE: Make sure the flat-plate antenna is at 0.0 0.5 degree with respect to the RTA mounting surface.
2.4.3
PITCH GAIN ADJUSTMENT/CHECK (a) Set SCAN and XMTR switches, on RTA housing, to OFF (toward antenna) and select Standby on the Controller. The RTA is now in pitch and roll calibration mode. (b) Select preset GAIN. This forces a 0-degree condition in azimuth by the processor. Azimuth position of the antenna does not matter in calibration mode. (c) Adjust TILT control on Controller for 0-degree on the face of the flat-plate radiator with an inclinometer. NOTE: Since the No. 2 AHRS is used to provide the stabilization input to the RTA, press the No. 2 AHRS test button to simulate 10-degree nose up pitch and 20 degrees of right roll.
(d) Verify that the antenna tilts down 25 1.5 degrees. 2.4.4 ROLL GAIN ADJUSTMENT/CHECK (a) Verify that the GAIN control is out of the preset position. This will force a 90-degree right azimuth condition by the processor. NOTE: Since the No. 2 AHRS is used to provide the stabilization input to the RTA, press the No. 2 AHRS test button to simulate 10-degree nose up pitch and 20 degrees of right roll.

2.5
FAULT MONITORS
Critical functions in the RTA are continuously monitored. The RTA utilizes the EFIS as the display mechanism by transmitting detected faults to it via the control bus. The EFIS will typically display amber WX on the MFD if no SCI data is present or when an RTA failure has occurred. This may be due to an actual bus failure or if the RTA is not powered up. When the RTA serial bus is functioning normally, the EFIS will indicate the presence of any failures detected by the RTA fault monitoring system and by displaying an amber fault code number in the tilt angle location of the display when in Test mode. NOTE: Past faults are stored in the internal memory of the radar. These are accessible when the unit is returned to a Honeywell repair facility. Only the current faults are displayed when the unit is placed in Test mode.
The Fault Codes and a brief description of each are listed in Volume I, Section 2.5, Tables 2-5-5 and 2-5-6 of this system maintenance manual.
3.

AHRS CHECK
The AHRS has six fundamental operating modes. They are Initialization, Full Performance, DG, Basic, Test, and Maintenance modes. The initialization mode is entered upon power up of the system. During this mode the system performs self tests to determine the condition of its components (sensors, CPU, power supply, etc). At the end of the initialization process, the system enters full performance mode unless a system input (lack of input) or operator command has placed it in one of the reversionary modes (basic or DG). The test mode can be activated by the operator at any time while the aircraft is on the ground. During the test the system outputs are driven to preset test values to verify proper operation of the data channels, interconnects, and indicators. The maintenance mode is designed for use in installing and maintaining the AHRS. An installer uses the mode for setting discretes (orientation, SDI, and ARINC 29 Hi/Low Select), determining the flux valve compensation coefficients, and determining the mounting tray alignment coefficients. Honeywell field support uses the mode for special data retrieval on the aircraft. A special function in the maintenance mode is the automatic compass swing. This mode is accessed by grounding the Maintenance Test pin on the AHRU and communicating via RS-232 with a laptop and Honeywell supplied software.

VERIFICATION OF MEMORY MODULE PROGRAMMING

If the previous AHRS CHECK procedures have been performed then it has been verified that the memory module on the mounting tray has been programmed correctly. The programming of each location in the memory module was verified during the AHRS checkout procedure as described below. (a) Memory Module Programmed Flag. The AHRS will not enter the flux valve calibration procedure unless the Memory Module Programmed Flag in the memory module has been programmed correctly. If the flux valve calibration was completed successfully then it has been verified that the Memory Module Programmed Flag in the memory module has been programmed correctly. (b) Orientation Select. If this location is not programmed correctly, the AHRS pitch and roll outputs will be incorrect. If the orientation stored in the memory module is 90 degrees off from the actual orientation of the AHRS, then the pitch of the aircraft will appear in the AHRS roll output, and the roll of the aircraft will appear in the AHRS pitch output. If the orientation stored in the memory module is 180 degrees off from the actual orientation of the AHRS, then the pitch and roll outputs of the AHRS will have the wrong sign. (i.e., they will be positive when they should be negative and vice versa.) If the AHRS Attitude Outputs Checkout procedure described in Section 6.3 was completed successfully, then the orientation select in the memory module has been programmed correctly. (c) Source/Destination Identifier. If this location is not programmed correctly, then the AHRS will not respond when it is addressed on the ASCB or ARINC bus. If the AHRS ARINC Checkout (Section I paragraph 3.3.22 and 3.3.23, RA 850 and 860) procedure was completed successfully, then the source/destination identifier in the memory module has been programmed correctly. (d) ARINC Configuration. If this location is not programmed correctly, then the AHRS will not respond when it is addressed on the ARINC bus. If the AHRS ARINC Checkout (Section I paragraph 3.3.22 and 3.3.23, RA 850 and 860) procedure was completed successfully, then the ARINC configuration in the memory module has been programmed correctly. (e) Controller Configuration. If this location is not programmed correctly, then the AHRS will not respond to controller inputs. If the AHRS was successfully placed in the output test mode via a controller command during the AHRS Test Mode (Section 6.2) procedures then the controller configuration in the memory module has been programmed correctly. (f) Mounting Tray Misalignment Angle. If these locations are not programmed correctly, the AHRS pitch and roll outputs will be incorrect. If the AHRS Attitude Outputs Checkout procedure described in Section 6.3 was completed successfully, then the mounting tray misalignment angle in the memory module has been programmed correctly.
(g) Discrete Data Sumcheck. If this location is not programmed correctly the memory module sumcheck power-on BITE test in the AHRS will fail, and the AHRS outputs shall indicate an AHRS fault. If the AHRS was successfully powered up without the outputs indicating an AHRS fault, then the discrete data sumcheck in the memory module is correct.

Table 7-1. Ground Maintenance Test (GMT) Procedures (h) Flux Valve Calibration Coefficients. If these locations are not programmed correctly, the output of the AHRS flux valve will not be properly compensated for errors caused by sources of magnetism other than the earths magnetic field. If the AHRS Flux Valve Checkout (Section 6.4) procedure was completed successfully, then the flux valve calibration coefficients must have been correctly stored in the memory module. (i) Flux Valve Calibration Date. These locations are not used by the AHRS, therefore there will be no faults or errors if these locations are not programmed correctly, as long as the flux valve calibration data sumcheck in the memory module accurately reflects the flux valve calibration date data. Flux Valve Calibration Coefficients Sumcheck. If this location is not programmed correctly the memory module sumcheck power-on BITE test in the AHRS will fail, and the AHRS outputs shall indicate an AHRS fault. If the AHRS was successfully powered up without the outputs indicating an AHRS fault, then the flux valve calibration coefficients sumcheck in the memory module is correct.

Its flight leg memory stores status and fault information for 10 consecutive flight legs. A flight leg is the interval between weight-off-wheels and weight-on-wheels during which the TCAS is operative. By recalling the stored data, ground maintenance personnel can evaluate in-flight performance on the ground and fault isolate a current or previous failure to a specific LRU or LRU interface. Table 8.1 lists the functions of the computer unit display lamps and the corresponding troubleshooting actions. If the lamps indicate an antenna problem, the antenna connections should be checked by measuring wiring resistance at the tray per Figure 8.1.1 and Table 8.2. The resistance values in Table 8.2 are between center conductor and shield on each LTP and LMP connector. Table 8.3 summarizes how computer unit self-test is executed at power-on, during TCAS operation, and during commanded self-test. The computer unit can execute commanded self-test only when the aircraft is on the ground.
