using another display – this section describes how those procedures are modified if the GMX 200 display
is used instead.
5.4.1 R ADAR Configuration, Calibration and Checkout Procedures
7 3 B
The following steps are performed to verify the interface between the RADAR sensor and the GMX 200
I/O. The radome should NOT be installed during these tests as visual verification of antenna movement
is required.
Note that the Antenna Receiver/Transmitter should be installed and calibrated in accordance with the
manufacturer's specifications. This manual does not cover the installation or calibration of the actual
ART unit.
Configuration procedures include steps that require the radar antenna to be powered on.
Please observe all safety precautions during these steps including: Do not perform in the
vicinity of refueling operations; Do not perform while personnel are in the vicinity
(approximately 20 feet) of the radar sweep area.
See FAA AC20-68B "Recommended Radiation Safety Precautions For Airborne
Weather Radar" for safety precautions to be taken by personnel when operating airborne
weather radar on the ground.
