R/T Configuration Module Calibration; Antenna Clearance Check; Calibrate Radar Pitch And Roll - Piper Malibu Meridian PA-46-500TP Airplane Maintenance Manual

Calibration
The R/T Configuration Module must be configured using the Allied Signal KPA 900
Configuration ModuleProgrammer Kit (Part Number 050-03311-0002) in conjunction with
a personal computer. See the configuration module user data for detailed setup
instructions. Follow the instructions for the programmer.
Perform radar R/T calibration as follows: Reference AlliedSignal (Bendix/King) 2000

MAINTENANCE MANUAL
From the Maintenance Set Up Page Select RADAR.
Set the radar park position to Full Up. Enter SAVE.
Restart the MFD. (SYSTEM) (R5)
From the Radar Page, set the Radar Function to SBY. (L3)
Set the Radar Mode to GND. (R1) Set KNOB to gain (L5)
Reduce the gain until the gain indicator shows the minimum setting.
Set the Antenna Tilt to full Up (U 15.0)
Set Range to 240 NM.
From the Aux Page, enter Maintenance Mode, as described in Section 6.3, "Using
the Maintenance Mode Page" on page 25.
RT CALIBRATION DATA page with the system in calibration mode, all fault fields will
flash briefly. This verifies that the system is in calibration mode.
scan begins. This should take place at a gain value no lower that -26. The antenna
will move to each of the extreme positions to determine that there is no interference
with antenna movement and all scan motors are working properly.
Use the right outer knob to set ROLL TRIM to 0 degrees.
Calibrate AHRS ARINC 429 Pitch Offset.
Level aircraft.
Adjust the GAIN buttons for a GAIN POT /2 setting to 11- or 12-.
Set the PITCH ANGLE field to 0.0 +/- 1.0 degrees.
To increment the value of the PITCH ANGLE, use the left inner knob to change the
TILT SETTING to between 5 and UP. When the TILT SETTING is set to between 5
and 10 UP, the value of the PITCH ANGLE field will slowly increase.
To decrement the value of the PITCH ANGLE, use the left inner knob to change the
TILT SETTING to between 5 and 10 DOWN. When the TILT SETTING is set to
between 5 and 10 DOWN, the value of the PITCH ANGLE field will slowly decrease.
When the desired setting is reached, quickly adjust the TILT SETTING to above 10
UP to lock in the setting.
