 PTS-3500B Weather Radar Test System
Description:
The Ideal Aerosmith PTS-3500B Weather Radar Test
System provides automated return-to-service testing of all
current models of the Rockwell Collins digital Weather
Radar Systems, including the WXR-700, the Forward
Looking Windshear (FLW) unit, and the Multi-scan
WXR-2100 radar systems. The system is used by
Rockwell Collins' service centers worldwide for Level I
and II testing of R/Ts, antenna pedestals, radar control
panels, and dedicated radar indicators, and it is specified
as the recommended test solution in the respective
Rockwell Collins CMMs.
The PTS-3500B is a complete turnkey test system
containing all of the hardware and software that an
avionics shop needs to test and re-certify weather radar
LRUs. The system replaces the previous generation of
obsolete manual test equipment and provides the added
benefit of automation by running the same ADATE
software that Collins uses. This minimizes test
discrepancies between the avionics shop and the OEM,
since both are using the same test hardware and software.
The system also has a manual mode that allows the user
to control LRU inputs and read LRU outputs in a manner
identical to that of the previous manual equipment,
reducing upgrade training requirements.
