PRIMUSr 880 Digital Weather Radar System

NOTES: 1. ON is used to indicate any selected radar mode.

2.“SLV” means that displayed data is controlled by opposite side controller.

3.XXX/2 means that display is controlled by appropriate on--side control for the antenna sweep direction associated with that control. (/2 implies two controllers are on.)

4.In standby, the RTA is centered in azimuth with 15_ upward tilt. Video data is suppressed. The transmitter is inhibited.

5.The MFD, if used, can repeat either left-- or right--side data, depending upon external switch selection.

Equipment covered in this guide is listed in table 2--2 and shown in figure 2--2.
