CANADA ADTS542F/ADTS552F/ADTS553F/ADTS554F

Under Industry Canada regulations, this radio transmitter may only operate using an antenna of a type and maximum (or lesser) gain approved for the transmitter by Industry Canada.

To reduce potential radio interference to other users, the antenna type and its gain should be so chosen that the equivalent isotropically radiated power (e.i.r.p.) is not more than that necessary for successful communication.

This radio transmitter has been approved by Industry Canada to operate with the antenna types listed below with the maximum permissible gain indicated. Antenna types not included in this list, having a gain greater than the maximum gain indicated for that type, are strictly prohibited for use with this device.

This device complies with Industry Canada licence-exempt RSS standard(s). Operation is subject to the following two conditions:

1. This device may not cause interference.

2. This device must accept any interference, including interference that may cause undesired operation of the device.

Conformément à la réglementation d'Industrie Canada, le présent émetteur radio peut fonctionner avec une antenne d'un type et d'un gain maximal (ou inférieur) approuvé pour l'émetteur par Industrie Canada.

Dans le but de réduire les risques de brouillage radioélectrique à l'intention des autres utilisateurs, il faut choisir le type d'antenne et son gain de sorte que la puissance isotrope rayonnée équivalente (p.i.r.e.) ne dépasse pas l'intensité nécessaire à l'établissement d'une communication satisfaisante.

Le présent émetteur radio a été approuvé par Industrie Canada pour fonctionner avec les types d'antenne énumérés ci-dessous et ayant un gain admissible maximal. Les types d'antenne non inclus dans cette liste, et dont le gain est supérieur au gain maximal indiqué, sont strictement interdits pour l'exploitation de l'émetteur.

Le présent appareil est conforme aux CNR d'Industrie Canada applicables aux appareils radio exempts de licence. L'exploitation est autorisée aux deux conditions suivantes:

1. l'appareil ne doit pas produire de brouillage.

2. l'utilisateur de l'appareil doit accepter tout brouillage radioélectrique subi, même si le brouillage est susceptible d'en compromettre le fonctionnement.

CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION

1.1 Description

The GE family of Air Data Test Sets (ADTS) provide accurate air data to test two, three and fourchannel systems.

The manufacturer has designed this equipment to be safe when operated using the procedures detailed in this user manual.

The required aircraft instrument test values can be entered in either aeronautical or pressure units. The ADTS will then automatically generate the correct pressure aims for all required channels.

The aircraft air data computer system receives these parameters and calculates altitude, airspeed and angle of attack (if applicable).

1.6 ADTS Touch

The ADTS Touch is used to control all required functions. The ADTS Touch can be positioned (docked) on the ADTS or used as a hand held mobile unit via an umbilical cable or using Bluetooth

technology. This allows a person to complete the entire test program remotely while conveniently seated in the aircraft.

The ADTS Touch will have power applied when positioned on a powered-on ADTS, or using an umbilical cable connected to a powered-on ADTS, or can be battery powered.

The ADTS Touch is a touch screen device which features a “swipe–action” (up/down/left/right) touch screen user interface with colour graphics and menus.
