Operational Test of the Very High Frequency (VHF) System

TASK 23-12-00-710-001-A
Operational Test of the Very High Frequency (VHF) 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.

NOTE: During this test, the aircraft must be in an open area.

NOTE: The transmission and reception test of the VHF system is the same for all the crew stations. You must do the test at each station.

ZONE: 210

4. Procedure

WARNING: OBEY THE RADIO REGULATIONS AND MAKE SURE THAT THE FREQUENCY IS AVAILABLE BEFORE YOU TRANSMIT.

Subtask 23-12-00-710-050-B ** ON A/C NOT FOR ALL

A. Operational Test of the VHF System

NOTE: This test is for the system 1. For the other system(s), use the indications between the parentheses.

ACTION	RESULT
1.On the RMP1:	On the RMP1:
Set the ON/OFF selector switch to ON.	The RMP shows the last frequencies and the last function used.
Push the VHF1 (VHF2, VHF3) pushbutton switch.	The green LED on this pushbutton switch comes on. The SEL indicator light (amber LED) comes on only for the VHF2 system.
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:	On the ACP:
Push the VHF1 (VHF2, VHF3) transmission pushbutton switch.	The green bars on the VHF1 (VHF2, VHF3) transmission pushbutton switch come on.
Push and release the VHF1 (VHF2, VHF3) reception pushbutton switch.	The reception pushbutton switch comes fully out and comes on.
	Make sure that the reception in the boomset is correct.
Smoothly turn the VHF1 (VHF2, VHF3) 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).
Speak in the boomset microphone.	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.

5. Close-up
Subtask 23-12-00-860-051-B ** ON A/C NOT FOR ALL

A. Put the aircraft back to its initial configuration.
(1) On the ACP, push the VHF1 (VHF2, VHF3) transmission pushbutton switch and the VHF1 (VHF2, VHF3) reception pushbutton switch.
(2) On the RMP1, set the ON/OFF selector switch to OFF.
(3) Disconnect the boomset at the crew station where you do the maintenance.
(4) De-energize the aircraft electrical circuits (Ref. AMM TASK 24-41-00-862-002).
