KRA 405B RADAR ALTIMETER INSTALLATION MANUAL
It also ensures the absence of an RF leakage path allowing the
4.3 GHz transmitter output to bleed into the system's receiv-
er, thus bypassing the normal antenna-to-ground-to-antenna
path while flying above 2,500 feet AGL.
The following procedure duplicates a flight altitude greater
than 2,500 feet AGL in order to find these RF leakage paths.

Turn on aircraft primary power.
Adjust the DH knob on the indicator to set the DH bug
to 25 feet.
Depress the test button on the indicator. The altitude
indicated should be 50 ± 5 feet and the DH lamp should
be out.
Slowly advance the DH bug until the DH lamp lights. The
bug should be set at 50 ± 5 feet at this time. Continue
increasing the DH bug setting. The DH lamp should stay
lit.
Release the test button. The indicated altitude should
now be 0 ± 5 feet.
NOTE: In some installations, the tolerances given
here may be greater, due to antenna location
and a difference between aircraft touch down
attitude and parked attitude.
