Notes
Normal operating mode.
Used to learn lightning operations.
The TWX-670 uses data from a connected position source
(GPS/FMS).
The TWX-670 uses heading data from a connected
heading source (e.g., Synchro, PFD).
Enables audible alerts from the sensor.
Notes
Normal operating mode.
Supports noise mapping tests.
Used to learn lightning operations.
The WX-500 will use the synchro supplied heading data
connected directly to the WX500.
The WX-500 will use stepper data from a remote compass
system.
The WX-500 will use orientation information supplied by
the EX5000 based on the Map Heading configuration,
described in Section 5.12, "Map Setup" on page 79.
When checked, the EX5000 issues lightning ahead
warning messages.
Check if the lightning sensor antenna is located on top of
the aircraft and must correspond with the WX-500 jumper
settings.
