SECTION 6 -SYSTEM VERIFICATION PROCEDURE

General

The following procedure is written for the purpose of verifying the installation of the C-5000 and

associated radio systems. It assumes the user has basic knowledge of the operation of the C-

5000 in order to perform this procedure. If need be, review the C-5000 operations manual before

beginning the procedure. This procedure can be performed without the use of complex test

equipment such as audio generators and communication analyzers but does require some kind of

transceiver (another aircraft or a handheld) to generate and decode signals.

• Verify that the Control Head DZUS mounts are fastened.

• Verify that the Radio is FIRMLY attached to the mounting tray.

• Verify that all connectors are attached at the control head, the transceivers, and antennas

systems.

• Apply power to the system. Push the “Power ON” button on the C-5000 if necessary. The

display should light up with the normal startup message screen (copyright Wulfsberg

Electronics etc.). If no errors are found, the display will show the normal operational page.

• Verify that the C-5000 keypad brightness changes when changing the cockpit panel light.

This will only change the keypad brightness, not the display. To verify that the display

brightness can be adjusted, use the display brightness adjustment procedure listed in the

operations manual.

• Load or verify that the C-5000 configuration information has been loaded into the C-5000.

This step must be performed or the system will not operate properly. Information such as

what number and type of transceivers are installed must be entered into the C-5000

configuration. If the RP Software (a PC Based program) is available, use it to download a

database of preset channels and system configuration into the C-5000.

• If an RT-5000 transceiver with an MTM Guard receiver (P/N 400-015525-0611 and higher)

is in the system, load channel and frequency information into the transceiver using the

Motorola RSS software.

• Press each button on the C-5000 and verify its function is performed. In addition, verify that

the cursor/value knobs turn properly and the “ENTER” button functions.

• Select Transceiver #1 using the audio panel and the C-5000. Select a valid preset channel

for Transceiver #1 or use the manual channel to select valid receive/transmit frequencies.

Make sure all necessary switches on the audio panel are enabled. Verify all volume pots on

the audio panel are at a normal level. Press the TEST button on the C-5000 keypad. The

squelch indicator for Transceiver #1 should light and audio noise should be heard in the

headset. Adjust the inner (Small) left volume knob up or down to the desired volume level.

• Perform Step 6 for all Transceivers in the system. This will verify that all radios are

connected, powered up, and able to send audio to the control head.

NOTE: If the C-5000 does not allow the input of the specific RT-5000 part number, use the table

on the following page for alternative input options.
