system. EDGE will update the latitude and longitude of the radar system based on
input from the GPS / Compass unit. Please allow five to ten minutes for this process to
complete.
3. After the latitude and longitude are updated and when the EDGE system has received
enough information to determine “True North,” the antenna will automatically realign
itself to “True North” and it will be ready for operational use.
Please note, the radar can be operated after initial HOMING of the antenna is complete. However, the
EDGE display for weather and other data will not be aligned with “True North” and therefore, their
positions on the map will not be in the proper location relative to North.
5.1.2. Power-Off Procedure / System Shutdown
For the safety of the maintenance personnel, they MUST complete the following system power off
sequence before attempting any maintenance procedures.
The complexities and design of the Ranger-X5 radar system requires training for personnel that will
operate and maintain the radar system.
The various components in the radar system will require the power switches and circuit breakers to be in
the [OFF] position before performing maintenance.
5.1.2.1. Normal Power-Off Procedure
1. Power Down (in sequence) the following items.
a. EDGE Local Host Computer (see Figure 8, Point 5 for switch location)
b. IQ2-Digital Signal Processor (see Figure 6, Point 1 for switch location)
c. RCU Computer (see Figure 5, Point 1 for switch location)
d. UPS System (Figure 71, Point 1), press and hold the power button until the
UPS powers off.
2. On the Emergency Stop Panel (see Figure 70, Point 7), switch the Pedestal Breaker
(CB2) to the [OFF] position.
3. On the Emergency Stop Panel (see Figure 70, Point 6), switch the Main Breaker (CB1)
to the [OFF] position.
4. Refer to Appropriate Vendor Documentation for shutdown and tear down procedures
