CAS Computer Unit Self-Test
The Front Panel has a test switch to initiate testing of T
3
CAS as well as LED indicators
which are used for the annunciation of internal LRU or external system faults for T
3
CAS.
The testing for T
3
CAS is initiated through the test switch on the front of the LRU. TCAS
and TAWS functions both monitor the switch and initiate a test sequence when the switch
is pressed. The test results for both functions are annunciated on their respective LED
displays.
(1) With all power off, reinstall the T
3
CAS computer unit in its mounting tray. Make
sure the TCAS control panel and display(s) are also installed.
(2) Apply aircraft power and close all applicable T
3
CAS system circuit breakers.
(3) On the TCAS control panel, set the ATC/TCAS controller mode switch to Mode S
ON.
(4) Push the push-to-test button on the T
