Operational Test of the High Frequency (HF) System


TASK 23-11-00-710-001-A
Operational Test of the High Frequency (HF) System


WARNING: MAKE SURE THAT ALL THE CIRCUITS IN MAINTENANCE ARE ISOLATED BEFORE YOU SUPPLY ELECTRICAL POWER TO THE AIRCRAFT. UNWANTED ELECTRICAL POWER CAN BE DANGEROUS.
WARNING: DO NOT TRANSMIT WITH THE HF SYSTEM DURING REFUEL/DEFUEL OR TRANSFER OPERATIONS. TRANSMISSION WITH THE HF SYSTEM DURING THESE FUEL OPERATIONS CAN CAUSE INJURY AND/OR START A FIRE.
NOTE: During this test, the aircraft must be in an open area.
NOTE: The transmission and reception test of the HF system is the same for all the crew stations. You must do the test at each crew station.
ZONE: 210

A. Operational Test of the HF System
ACTION
RESULT
1.On the RMP1:

  • Set the ON/OFF selector switch to ON.
  • The RMP shows the last frequencies and the last function used.
  • Push the HF1 pushbutton switch.
  • The green LED on this pushbutton switch comes on.

  • In the STBY/CRS display window, with the dual selector knob, set the frequency of a station that transmits.


  • Start this frequency. To do this, push the transfer pushbutton switch (double arrow) between the two display windows.
  • The frequency set comes into view in the active display window.

2.On the ACP of the station under maintenance:

  • Push the HF1 transmission pushbutton switch.
  • The green bars on the HF1 transmission pushbutton switch come on.
  • Push and release the HF1 reception pushbutton switch.
  • The reception pushbutton switch moves fully out and comes on.

  • Set the INT/RAD switch to RAD and release it (You can do this operation on the PTT switch of the sidestick controller at the CAPT. or F/O station).
  • During the tuning (which continues for approximately 5 seconds), the reception stops and you can hear a signal of 1000 Hz in the boomset.

  • After the tuning, make sure that the reception in the boomset is correct.

  • Smoothly turn the HF1 reception pushbutton switch clockwise.
  • The reception you can hear must change smoothly without interference.

  • Set the INT/RAD switch to RAD and hold it in this position (You can do this operation on the PTT switch of the sidestick controller at the CAPT. or F/O station).
  • Make sure that the fan of the transceiver operates correctly.

  • Hold the INT/RAD switch in the RAD position and speak in the boomset microphone (At the CAPT. or F/O station, you can hold the PTT switch on the sidestick controller).
  • You must hear your voice in the boomset.

  • Make sure that the transmission is correct.

  • Release the INT/RAD switch (or the PTT switch on the sidestick controller at the CAPT. or F/O station).
  • The INT/RAD switch comes back to the center position.
