6 POST INSTALLATION TESTS
6.1 GENERAL
This section contains instructions for tests to be performed after the installation to confirm that the system has
been installed correctly. Post installation tests are mandatory for all ISAT-200 installations.
The following post installation function test must be performed after installation of the CDP-300:
6.1.1 FUNCTION TEST SETUP
Ensure that the wiring harness is securely installed.
Ensure that the ISAT-200 antenna has a clear view of the sky.
Obtain the CDP-300 User’s Guide for reference during the function test.
6.1.2 FUNCTION TEST
Apply power to the CDP-300, DVI-300 (if installed) and ISAT-200 systems. Ensure the ISAT-200 is
operating and that its antenna has a clear view of the sky. Verify if the CDP-300 displays a start-up
message.
After a few seconds, the CDP-300 will display the Home menu if it successfully establishes
communication with the DVI-300 and the ISAT-200. If you get an error message,
Check the connection between CDP-300 and DVI-300 (if installed)
Check the connection between CDP-300 and ISAT-200
If installed, activate the DVI-300 emergency switch. The CDP-300 will display the emergency message.
De-activate the emergency switch and confirm the unit returns to normal mode. Verify if the emergency
message is cleared and the Home menu is displayed.
Use the CDP-300 to place a sat phone call to a ground based telephone. Confirm that the call is
established and both parties can hear each other clearly. Adjust the system volume if necessary. To make
calls using the CDP-300, voice communication must be enabled in the ISAT. Contact the Program
Manager with respect to SKYTRAC Systems to have voice communication enabled in the ISAT. The ISAT
must receive its programming instructions through the satellite link and therefore needs a view of the sky
in order for the voice communication to be enabled.
The CDP-300 brightness can be controlled in two automatic modes and these two modes must be tested
separately if they are to be used. The brightness mode can be selected through the CDP System menu.
Place the CDP-300 in Optical Sensor Mode. Locate the sensor in the front panel. Cover the sensor
with your thumb. Verify if the LED brightness decrease. Remove your thumb from the sensor and
verify if the LED brightness increases.
Place the CDP-300 in Dimmer Bus Mode. Turn off the aircraft dimming bus and verify that the
backlighting for the keys is ON and the LED display is bright for day operations. Now turn ON the
aircraft dimming bus and observe that the LED Display dims to night operation brightness levels.
Gradually adjust the dimmer bus voltage. Verify the backlighting and led display follow the dimmer
bus voltage.
