The Power supply is a separate, wall mounted unit. Back-up batteries are float charged, and
are connected to the GP cabinet.
The Remote Control unit is intended for installation in the tower or a technical room to give
remote control and status indication. An optional Remote Slave panel can be used if control
and status indication is required in additional positions.
The RMM system comprises the built-in RMS system in the GP cabinet, and a data program
running on a standard PC. The PC can be connected directly to the cabinet, or by modems
through leased or switched telephone lines.

3.3.1 The menu structure.
The front panel menu system includes a 20x4character LCD with 7 dedicated pushbutton
keys. The system is organised as a top-down menu tree-structure where the main menu is the
default entering point.
The main menu screen has three menu-options. The options are divided into the three access
levels; level 1 with basic readout functions, level 2 with test and control functions and level 3
with permanent system parameter settings and configuration changes.

3.3.2 Handling the different menuscreens.
The menu system consists of five basic screen types; menu-screens, readout-screens, tog-
gle-screens, input/storing-screens, and the quick read screens.
3.3.2.1 The menu screen
The menu screen is controlled by the key-buttons: <PREV> <NEXT> <ENTER> and <ESC>.
The menu options are formatted as a long list where each option holds one character line. If a
menu screen includes more than four options, a small arrow-indicator will be displayed in the
lower-right corner. This informs the user that more than four menu options are available. The
blinking arrow cursor left to the menu-text is controlled by the <NEXT> and <PREV> keys.
The <ENTER> key activates the menu options left to the arrow-cursor.
The <ESC> key brings the user one menu-level upwards or back in the menu-tree-struc-
ture.The menu scrolls down if the user pushes the <NEXT> key when the arrow-cursor is at
the lower line and the arrow indicator is displayed in the lower-right corner. The menu will in
the same way scroll upwards by pushing the <PREV>-key in a corresponding situation.
3.3.2.2 The readout screen
The readout screens display the various monitor and maintenance parameter readings. The
screens are entered by stepping through the menu options. The <ESC> key brings the user
back to the last menu-screen again. The parameter readings are continuously updated.
Figure 3-5 A typical readout screen: CL DDM.
3.3.2.3 The toggle screens
The toggle screens offer the user to choose between two or more options. The options text is
enclosed by two blinking square-brackets. The plus «+» and minus «-» keys step through the
various options. The <ENTER> key activates the chosen toggle-option. The <ESC> keys
leaves the screen without activating any of the options.

3.3.2.4 Input/Store screen
The user can change the various parameter alarm and warning settings in the input/storing-
screens. A virtual cursor is controlled by the <PREV> and <NEXT> keys. An input field num-
ber will blink if the cursor is moved to the correct position. The blinking limit values can now be
changed by pushing the plus «+» and minus «-» keys. If the input field is digital, the valid
options will be «False» and «True» when the plus «+» and minus «-» keys are pushed.
When all the input numbers in the screen are changed to the preferred new values, the cursor
must be moved to the (STORE)-field in the upper left corner. When the cursor is placed at this
(STORE)-field, the brackets will start blinking. The <ENTER> key will now store the new val-
ues on the screen in the ILS. The <ESC> key leaves the screen unchanged.
Figure 3-7 A typical input/store screen: CL DDM
3.3.2.5 The quick read screens
The quick read screens are access by pushing the <QUICK READ> key. The key toggles
between the original menu tree and the quick read screens. The <QUICK READ> button can
be pushed at all times, not changing the original menu-screens. The quick read screens
include only the basic monitor readings. The <PREV> and <NEXT> keys step through the
quick read screens.
Figure 3-8 A typical quick read screen: CL.
3.3.3 The access levels.
The level 3 menu options must be entered by typing a 4 character password. The level 2
menu can be entered as an ordinary menu-option.
3.3.3.1 Level 2
To enter the level 2 menu option, the front panel switches must be in the LOCAL and MAN-
UAL positions. The remote panel access switch must also be in ACCESS position. The user is

3.3.3.2 Level 3
To enter the level 3 menu option, the front panel switches must be as for level 2 access. In
addition the WRITE PROTECT switch must be in «ACCESS» position. The user must key a 4
character password to enter level 3 access. The access-screen is operated similarly to an
input/store-screen. The blinking cursor is moved by the <PREV> and <NEXT> keys. A blink-
ing input-field is changed by the plus «+» and minus «-» keys.
When the correct password is entered, the cursor must be moved to the <level 3 access>-
field. The brackets will then start blinking. The <ENTER> key will now bring the user to the
level3 options. The <ESC> key leaves the screen back to the main menu.
Figure 3-10 Level 3 access screen.
3.3.3.3 Leaving the access levels
If the user enters level 2 or 3, an extra menu line is added in the main menu screen. This is a
leave current access level option. The user must enter this menu option to quit the current
access level - typically when leaving the ILS.
The access levels are also left when the front panel switches are changed to an illegal posi-
tion. (e.g. switch in REMOTE position)

4.2.1 Glossary
INTERLOCK When an ILS is in active interlock mode (the interlock signal is an input to the
remote control), the ILS will turn off all active transmitters and not allow them to
be turned on before the interlock condition is removed. This signal overrides
manual mode of operation.

Used to:
• Indicate that the ILS has detected one or more warning conditions.
Activated by:
• Warning condition(s) detected by RMS.
NORMAL
Used to:
• Indicate that no alarm conditions are detected by the ILS.
Activated by:
• No alarms present, and
• Communication with ILS is OK.
4.3 Interlock Switch Operation
The interlock function is used when mutual exclusive operation on different ILS systems is
required. An active interlock for a station shall prevent transmission of ILS signals. The inter-
lock signal is connected to the remote control RC1241 and transmitted to the ILS through the
remote control connection.
The interlock function on the ILS is enabled/disabled from configuration settings on the
TC1216A. The rest of this chapter describes an ILS configured for interlock.
When an active ILS receives an active interlock signal, the ILS performs a shutdown. If the
interlock signal is deactivated, the ILS will automatically be turned on after a 20 second delay
period.
For maintenance purposes, an interlock override function has been implemented. This func-
tion makes it possible to operate the ILS locally in manual mode with an active interlock sig-
nal. To activate the interlock override function the following conditions must be met:
• LOCAL/REMOTE switch must be in LOCAL position,
• AUTO/MANUAL switch must be in MANUAL position and
• INTERLOCK OVERRIDE switchlock must be set in horizontal position.

5 Remote Maintenance and Monitoring Software
This chapter is the user manual for the Remote Maintenance and Monitoring (RMM) software.
Version 3.9 of the RMM software is covered in this chapter. This version can be used to con-
nect to ILS cabinets with version 5 up to and including version 12 of the RMS software.
5.1 Introduction
This paragraph gives a brief description of this user manual, the program and the system
requirements.
5.1.1 Description
This manual describes how to use the NM70xx remote monitoring software. The remote mon-
itoring software consists of software running in the ILS rack and on software running on IBM/
PC’s and compatibles. The purpose of the system is to retrieve status and measurements
from the ILS rack and to change ILS operation and parameters from a remote site. The
retrieved data can be displayed and further processed by programs on the PC.
For example, the ILS data can be
• Displayed on the screen.
• Saved on disk for later use.
• Exported to other programs for graphical display of parameter variations.
5.1.2 Available versions
The NM7000 RMM program is available in a DOS version and a 32 bit version for Windows
95/NT. Both versions are distributed together. Depending on the operating system installed on
the PC, the user must install one of these versions.
5.1.3 System requirements
The PC running the DOS version of the software must be equipped with:
• 386DX33 based computer
• DOS 3.0 or later
• a hard disk
• 4 Mbyte RAM
• HIMEM installed
• a RS-232 serial port connected to a Hayes compatible 2400 baud modem
• a printer port & printer, if printouts are desired
For Windows 95 and NT the following are acceptable minimum configurations:
95: 486x33 and 8 MB RAM
NT: Minimum 486x66 and 16-20 MB RAM
A recommended configuration for running the DOS version includes the following:
• a 486 based computer or better
• a mathematical co-processor (486DX internal is satisfactory)
• a VGA monitor
• DOS 6.0 or later
• I/O board with 16550 UART
23(5$7,1*0$18$/
1250$5&
5HPRWH0DLQWHQDQFHDQG0RQLWRULQJ 1DYLD$YLDWLRQ$6
If a 386- or a slow 486-based PC is used, it is recommended to drop the bitrate to 2400 or
4800 bps.
If a mouse is available, it is supported by the RMM software.
5.1.4 Running under Microsoft Windows 3.xx
Neither the DOS version nor the Win95/NT version of the RMM program runs under Windows
3.xx. The DOS version can, of course, be started on a PC with Windows 3.xx installed as long
as Windows is not also started.
If the RMM-software is running on a slow PC with Windows 95 or NT, avoid to start up several
other applications. This to ensure sufficient processor-time is available for data processing in
the NM 7000 RMM.
5.1.5 How to use this manual
The user interface of the RMM software is very similar to the one used in Microsoft Windows.
If you are familiar with using Windows programs, you will easily understand how to operate
this program, and you can skip Chapter 5.2. The next chapters describe each feature of the
program. You may want to read these chapters to learn how use the RMM software.
5.1.6 Starting the RMM software
To install the RMM PC Software, create a directory named NM7000 on the hard disk. Then
copy the contents of the NMS152A (DOS) or NMS152B (Win95/NT) RMM PC SW floppy to
this directory.
To start the program, make the RMM system directory your current directory. Then start
NM7000.EXE (DOS) or NM7000.BAT (Win95/NT).
If you are not familiar with DOS commands, the above steps can be performed with the follow-
ing commands: CD\NM7000↵
NM7000↵
5.2 User interface components
There are three visible components to the RMM software: the menu bar at the top, the window
area in the middle and the status line at the bottom of the screen. The next few sections
describe these components, and the information that they display.
5.2.1 The menu bar and menus
The menu bar is your primary access to all the menu commands. The menu bar is always vis-
ible. If a menu command is followed by an ellipsis (...) choosing the command displays a dia-
log box. If the command does not have an ellipsis, the action occurs when you choose the
command.
Here is how to choose menu commands using the keyboard:
1. Press
F10
. This makes the menu bar active; the next thing you type will relate to the items
in the menu bar.
1DYLD$YLDWLRQ$6 5HPRWH0DLQWHQDQFHDQG0RQLWRULQJ
23(5$7,1*0$18$/1250$5&
2. Use the arrow keys to select the menu you want to display. Then press
Enter
.
As a shortcut for this step, you can just press the highlighted letter of the menu title. For
example, when the menu bar is active, press
F
to move to and display the File menu. At
any time, press
Alt
and the highlighted letter (such as
Alt+F
) to display the menu you want.
3. Use the arrow keys again to select a command from the menu you have opened. Then
press
Enter
.
At this point, the ILS Data Sampler either carries out the command, displays a dialog box,
or displays another menu.
There are two ways to choose commands with a mouse:
• Click the desired menu title to display the menu and click the desired command.
• Or, drag straight from the menu title down to the menu command. Release the mouse but-
ton on the command you want. (If you change your mind, just drag off the menu; no com-
mand will be chosen.)
Note that some menu commands are unavailable when it would make no sense to choose
them. However, you can always get on-line Help about currently unavailable commands.
5.3 Shortcuts
The software offers a number of quick ways to choose menu commands. The click-drag
method for mouse users is an example. From the keyboard, you can use a number of key-
board shortcuts (or
hot keys
) to access the menu bar, choose commands, or work within dia-
log boxes. You need to hold down
Alt
while pressing the highlighted letter when moving from
an input box to a group of buttons or boxes. Here is a list of the shortcuts available:
Table 5-1 Shortcut commands.
For example, to display a previously saved log, press
Alt+F D
(for File |Display log) or you can
just press
F3
, the shortcut displayed next to it.
5.3.1 The desktop area
Most of what you see and do in the ILS Data Sampler environment happens in a
window
. A
window is a screen area that you can open, move, resize, zoom, tile, and overlap. Every win-
dow is positioned on the
desktop
, the area between the menu bar and the status line.
You can have many windows open at the same time, but only one window can be active at
any time. Any command you choose or text you type generally applies only to the active win-
dow.
You can spot the active window easily: It is the one with the double-lined border around it. The
active window usually has a close box, a zoom box, and scroll bars. If your windows are
overlapping, the active window is always the one on top of all the others.
There are several types of windows, and they may have all or some of the following character-
Do this To accomplish this...
Press
Alt
plus the highlighted letter of the command (just press
the highlighted letter in a dialog box). Display the menu or carry
out the command.
Type the keystrokes next to a menu command. Carry out the command.

istics:
• a title bar
• a close box
• scroll bars
• a zoom box
• A window that controls a modem also has a
flow display
icon. This icon is normally chang-
ing, indicating that new data is received from the ILS station.
The
close box
of a window is the box in the upper left corner. Click this box to quickly close the
window. (Or choose Window | Close, with shortcut
Alt+F3
). The Help window is considered
temporary; you can also close it by pressing
Esc
.
The
title bar
, the topmost horizontal bar of a window, contains the name of the window. Dou-
ble-clicking the title bar zoom the window. You can also drag the title bar to move the window
around.
The
zoom box
of a window appears in the upper right corner. If the icon is an up arrow, you
may click the arrow to enlarge the window to the largest size possible. If the icon is a double
headed arrow, the window is already at its maximum size. In that case, clicking it returns the
window to its previous size. To zoom a window from the keyboard, choose Window | Zoom,
with shortcut
F5
).
Shortcut: Double-click the title bar of a window to zoom or restore it.
5.3.1.1 Scrolling the contents of a window
Scroll bars
are horizontal or vertical bars with an arrow in each end, and a box between these.
You use the scroll bars with a mouse to scroll the contents of an ILS parameter display win-
dow. Click the arrow at either end to scroll one line at a time. (Keep the mouse button pressed
to scroll continuously.) You can click the shaded area to either side of the scroll box to scroll a
page at a time. Finally, you can drag the scroll box to any spot on the bar to quickly move to a
place in the window relative to the position of the scroll box.
5.3.1.2 Resizing a window
You can resize a window by dragging the resize corner (the bottom, right corner) of the win-
dow. The resize corner is displayed as single outline part of the window frame. To resize using
the keyboard, choose Size/Move from the Window menu. Pressing the
arrow keys
will then
move the window, and
Shift+arrow keys
resizes the window. Note that resizing only applies to
windows which has a resize corner.
5.3.1.3 Quick window management
The next table gives you a quick run-down of how to handle windows in the ILS Data Sampler.
Note that you don't need a mouse to perform these actions - a keyboard works just fine.
Every window that displays ILS parameters has a small control window. This control window
is placed at the upper left corner of the desktop when you choose to display a log file, or con-
nect to an ILS station.

Table 5-2 Quick window operations.
5.3.2 The status line
The status line appears at the bottom of the screen. It
• reminds you of basic keystrokes and shortcuts (or hot keys) applicable at that moment in
the active window.
• lets you click the shortcuts to carry out the action instead of choosing the command from
the menu or pressing the shortcut keystroke.
• offers one-line hints on any selected menu command and dialog box items.
• tells you how much memory is currently available
The status line changes as you switch windows or activities. One of the most common status
lines is the one you see when you are browsing a log file, or logging data. When you've
selected a menu title or command, the status line changes to display a one-line summary of
the function of the selected item.
5.3.3 Dialog boxes
A menu command with an ellipsis (...) after it leads to a
dialog box
. Dialog boxes offer a con-
venient way to view and set multiple options. When you are making settings in dialog boxes,
you work with five basic types of on screen controls: Action buttons, radio buttons, check
boxes, input boxes, and list boxes. Here is a sample dialog box that illustrates some of these
items:
To accomplish this: Use one of these methods
Open and display a saved log file Choose File | Display log.
Close a window Select the window, and press
Alt+F3
.
Hang up phone and close data window Select the corresponding control window, and press
Alt+F3
.
Move the active window Drag its title bar. Or choose Window | Size/Move
and use the arrow keys to place the window where
you want it, then press
Enter
.
Resize the active window Drag the bottom right corner. Or choose Window |
Size/Move and press
Shift
while you use the arrow
keys to resize the window, then press
Enter
.

Figure 5-1 A sample dialog box.
5.3.3.1 Action buttons
This dialog box has two standard buttons: OK and Cancel. If you choose OK, the choices in
the dialog box are accepted; if you choose Cancel, nothing changes and no action takes
place, and the dialog box is put away. You can press
F1
to open a Help window for this dialog
box.
Esc
is always a keyboard shortcut for Cancel (even if no Cancel button appears).
If you are using a mouse, click the dialog box button you want. When you are using the key-
board, press
Alt
and the highlighted letter of an item to activate it. For example,
ALT+O
selects OK because the O in OK is highlighted. Press
Tab
or
Shift+Tab
to move forward or
back from one item to another in a dialog box. Each element is highlighted when it becomes
active.
In this dialog box, OK is the
default button
, which means you need only press
Enter
to choose
that button. (On monochrome systems, arrows indicate the default; on color monitors, default
buttons are highlighted.) Be aware that tabbing to a button makes that button the default. You
can then press Space to choose that button.
5.3.3.2 Radio buttons and check boxes
Radio buttons are like car radio buttons. They come in groups, and only one radio button in
the group can be on at any one time. To choose a radio button, click it or its text. From the
keyboard, select
Alt
and press the highlighted letter (if any), or press
Tab
until the group is
highlighted and then use the arrow keys to choose a particular radio button. Press
Tab
or
Shift+Tab
again to leave the group with the new radio button chosen.
Check boxes differ from radio buttons in that you can have any number of check boxes
checked at any time. When you select a check box, an x appears in it to show you it’s on. An
empty box indicates it’s off. To change the status of a check box, click it or its text, press
Tab
until the check box is highlighted and then press
Spacebar
, or select
Alt
and the highlighted
letter (if any).
If several check boxes apply to a topic, they appear as a group. In that case, tabbing moves to
the group. Once the group is selected, use the arrow keys to select the item you want, and
then press
Spacebar
to check or uncheck it. On monochrome monitors, the active check box
or group of check boxes will have a chevron symbol (>>) to the left and right. When you press
Tab
, the chevrons move to the next group of check boxes or radio buttons.

5.3.3.3 Toggles
Toggles let you select one setting out of a group defined settings. They are similar to Radio
buttons (chapter 5.3.3.2); except that only the selected setting is displayed. You select other
settings by clicking on the text showing the toggle setting, or by pressing the
space bar
.
5.3.3.4 Input and list boxes
Input boxes let you type in text. Most basic text-editing keys work in the text box (for example,
arrow keys,
Home
,
End
, and
Ins
). If you continue to type once you reach the end of the box,
the contents automatically scroll. If there is more text than what shows in the box, arrowheads
appear at the end. You can click the arrowheads to scroll or drag the text.
If an input box has a down-arrow icon to its right, there is an associated
history list
. Click the
down arrow icon, or press the down arrow key to display the list. You will find text you typed
the last few times you used the input box. Press
Enter
to choose an item from this list. You
can also edit an item in the history list. Press
Esc
to exit from the history list without making a
selection.
A final component of many dialog boxes is a
list box
, which lets you scroll through and select
from variable-length lists (often file names) without leaving a dialog box. If a blinking cursor
appears in the list box and you know what you are looking for, you can type the word (or the
first few letters of the word) and the ILS Data Sampler will search for it.
You make a list box active by clicking it or by choosing the highlighted letter of the list title (or
press
Tab
until it’s highlighted). Once a list box is displayed, you can use the scroll box to
move through the list or press the arrow keys on the keyboard.
5.4 Configuring the RMM system
This chapter describes how to configure the RMM system. The configuration settings covered
in this chapter does not affect the operation of remote ILS systems in any manner. It applies to
the “PC part” of the system only.
The configuration dialogs is accessed via the Options menu. The following sub-chapters cov-
ers each of the menu items on this menu.
5.4.1 Communications setup
The software allows you to connect the modems to two of four communications ports; COM1 -
COM4, with configurable IRQ's for COM3 and COM4. The ILS station may also be connected
directly to the PC by the use of a null modem cable.
The communication with the ILS is done with the use of a Channel construct. In the station
setup for an ILS station one selects a Channel in which the communication with the remote
ILS shall flow. Each channel is then associated with a specific set of configurable communica-
tion settings.
Choosing
Communications setup
brings up the following dialog

this window. In the Win95/NT version DTR will always be used to hangup the modem.
The items in this dialog has the following purposes.
Item Purpose
Port Specifies the serial communications adapter to which the
modem or ILS is connected.
Bit rate Specifies the bit rate to use when communicating with the
modem or ILS.
Use DTR to hang-up Select this if the software should use the DTR line instead of the
"Modem hang-up string" to make the modem hang up. This is
faster and safer than using the Modem hang-up string.
Direct connect Select this if the PC is connected to the ILS via a null modem
cable.

Modem configuration
5.4.1.1 Close Connection
Selecting the "Use DTR to hang-up" is recommended, as this method for closing the connec-
tion is both safer and faster than the "+++" escape sequence (Hang-up string). Note that the
modem must be configured with the AT&D2 command for the "Use DTR to hang-up" method
to work (some modems do not include this command in their default initiation).
5.4.1.2 Recommended init-strings
Refer to the Technical notes at the end of this chapter for information on how to set up the
modems on different types of connection.
5.4.2 IRQ setup
Selecting the IRQ setup button in the Com port setup dialog opens the following dialog.

Your assigned access level depend on the number of passwords and the username entered.
Different passwords must be separated with a space character. The following table outlines
the access level properties, and how to gain them. Increasing access levels adds more
access rights, and retaining the rights for the lower access levels.
Table 5-7 Login access rights.
When you have entered correct login information and pressed the OK button, the program will
start to retrieve ILS configuration data. Windows that was open the last time you was con-
nected to the ILS will automatically be opened when the ILS configuration has been received.
If you enter invalid login information the ILS will not grant you access rights to the ILS. The
software will display a message telling you what went wrong, and let you perform another

5.6.1 Shutting down the connection to an ILS
To shut down an ILS connection, close the Link window for the connection you want to shut
down. For information on how to close a window, see Table 5-2.
Do not close the windows you want reopened the next time you connect to this ILS station.
5.6.2 Baud rate recommendations
When connecting to the ILS at 9600 bps, Remote port 2 or Local port on the ILS should be
used. For performance reasons, remote port 1 should not be used at 4800 and 9600 bps. This
will affect the response times of the Local RMS front panel as well as message handling on
the other RS-232 ports.
5.7 Monitor measurements and status
5.7.1 General
The functions described in this and the following chapters are accessed via the ILS|Measure-
ment sub-menu.
The windows described here will automatically be updated with new measurements as long
as the windows remain open.
The monitors signal the state of each parameter. For analog measurements, the states will be
displayed by a character code preceding the measurement and by the color of the displayed
number.
Table 5-8 Monitor codes.
For digital measurement only two states are defined; OK and ERROR. The ERROR string is
shown in red, while the OK string is shown in black.

To display the parameters shown in the window below select the ILS|Measurements|Monitor
Window 1 menu item. This window displays the standard monitor parameters (DDM, SDM
and RF-level) for each of the monitor channels (Course line, Displacement Sensitivity, Near
field and Clearance Transmitter (2-freq. systems)). In addition, Difference Frequency (2-
freq.systems), DC-loop and Ident information are displayed. The result of the continuous mon-
itor self test is also shown.
Figure 5-12 Monitor window
The DC loop status shown in this window will be OK if all the DC loop readings are within the
warning limits, else ERROR is displayed (DC loop readings for each loop is displayed in Mon-
itor window II).
5.7.3 Additional monitor parameters window
Selecting ILS|Measurements|Monitor 2 brings up the following window. This window shows
secondary monitor parameters.
Due to the nature of the monitor self test signals, the values will toggle between alarm and
normal. If one of these erroneous test signals fails to generate alarm, a self test error will be in
Monitor Window 1. The CL/CLR MORSE parameters shows the modulation level of the ident
signal. No activity on this signal for the time period specified in the ident delay setting, will
result in an IDENT warning in Monitor Window 1.
Depending on the antenna system installed, up to 4 DC-loops can be active. The DC LOOP
parameter in Monitor Window 1 shows accumulated status of the 4 DC-loops.

Selecting ILS|Measurements|External brings up the following window. This window shows the
measurements on the external channels. The NM 70xx can provide executive monitoring of
signals from external equipment, defined by the user (option).
For external channels that are not used, no measurement field will be shown (e.g. the standby
measurement field will be shown (e.g. the standby measurements in Figure 5-14)
Figure 5-14 External parameters window
5.7.5 Maintenance monitor window
Selecting ILS|Measurements|Maintenance brings up the window shown below. The mainte-
nance warning parameters are displayed in groups corresponding to the modules on which
they are measured. A separate group consists of the main power supplies and current mea-
surements. In this way, the origin of a maintenance warning can easily be deduced.
If one maintenance parameter on a module is in warning status, the module to which it
belongs is given the same status. Therefore, it can be easily determined the maintenance
warning status of the system by looking at the top window (Figure 5-15) only.
The following table shows the defined status codes.

5.8 Monitor settings
The functions described in this and the following sub-chapter are accessed via the ILS|Moni-
tor settings sub-menu.
The current access level determines which functions will be available. If a function is not avail-
able because of to low access level, the function will not be possible to activate.
All access levels allow the currently stored setting to be displayed; but in order to change a
setting an access level of at least 3 is required.
5.8.1 Limits Monitor 1&2
When the ILS|Monitor settings|Limits Monitor 1&2 menu option is selected a window showing
the currently configured monitor 1 and 2 alarm and warning limits is displayed. A window with
sample data is displayed below.

The alarm limit field will show “OFF” if the alarm limit is equal to the maximum or minimum
value.
The warning limit field for CL IDENT, CLR IDENT and external channels (i.e. FFM RF and
VOICE) will show “n/a” as the warning limits for these parameters is not defined as a percent-
age of the alarm limits.
The “MON 1 Limits” and the “MON 2 Limits” buttons will only be displayed for access
level 3 and master user access level.
In order to change the alarm and/or warning limits for a specific parameter; first select the
parameter in the list box, then select the “MON 1 Limits” button or the “MON 2 Limits” button if
you want to change either monitor 1 or monitor 2 alarm/warning.
When one of the above mentioned buttons is selected a dialog similar to the one below is
opened. In this dialog one may enter new alarm limits and warning limit for the currently
selected parameter. The alarm limits is always relative to the nominal value. The warning limit
is always entered in percent of the selected alarm limit.
If the Symmetric button is pressed the alarm limit is entered as a value which is symmetric
around the nominal value; hence only one alarm limit will have to be entered in the symmetric

The arrowheads after each input field in this dialog can be clicked on to increase or decrease
the displayed limit value. Hold down
Shift
to increment/decrement by a larger value. The up
and down arrow keys may be used instead of the mouse.
Due to the digital representation of the alarm and warning limits, the entered value is rounded
to the nearest 12-bit digital value. The actual stored value, which is read back to the dialog
box, can therefore differ slightly from the entered value.
The text OFF may be entered in alarm limits field to inhibit low, high or any alarms on the cur-
rent monitor parameter. If OFF is entered, one would normally enter 100 (%) in the warning
field, in order to also inhibit warning indications. For parameters where the warning limits is
not in % of the alarm limits, large negative and positive numbers must be entered to inhibit the
warning. See Appendix B for recommended values.

internal EEPROM. Whenever a new board is inserted in a cabinet, these parameters need to
configured. This can be done by “uploading” the parameter values to the cabinet with the use
of the “ILS | Configuration options | Upload configuration to ILS” menu item. When this menu
item is chosen, a window for selecting a previously stored “CFG” file (see section 5.20) is dis-
played.
Once the user has selected the file containing the desired configuration parameters, the win-
dow shown in Figure 5-50 is opened. This window lists boards for which the configuration may
23(5$7,1*0$18$/
1250$5&
5HPRWH0DLQWHQDQFHDQG0RQLWRULQJ 1DYLD$YLDWLRQ$6
be uploaded. Configuration for one board or all boards (normally used only for new cabinets)
can be uploaded.
This is an access level 3 operation.
Figure 5-50 Configuration upload
When the OK button is clicked, the RMM software starts the upload and displays a window
telling the user that the operation is in progress. The upload may take a few minutes, depend-
ing on the board type selected for upload. In order to speed up the upload process, it is a good
idea to close all windows that display monitor or maintenance measurements (this frees up
communication bandwidth).
Note 1: Refer to chapter 7 for detailed information on uploading configuration after e.g. a
board replacement.
Note 2: The following configuration data for the RMS board are not stored in the configuration
file and therefore require manual updating: “Lamp mappings”, “ILS modem configuration”, and
“User list/ adm.”.
5.20 Write configuration to file
As described in section 5.19, different boards store configuration data in internal EEPROM.
The configuration data can be stored on disk with the use of the “ILS | Configuration options |
Write configuration to file” menu item. Selecting this menu item brings up the window shown in
Figure 5-51 The user must enter a new filename, or select an existing file for storing the con-
figuration parameters. If an existing file is selected, the user is asked whether or not the file
should be overwritten.
1DYLD$YLDWLRQ$6 5HPRWH0DLQWHQDQFHDQG0RQLWRULQJ
23(5$7,1*0$18$/1250$5&
This is an access level 1 operation.
Figure 5-51 Write configuration to file.
The configuration file is a plain ASCII text file. The file may be inspected by the user, but to
avoid introducing possible errors, it is not recommended to manually edit it
5.21 Lamp mappings
At access level 3 the user may configure which of the small warning LED’s that are “mapped”
to the main (big) warning LED on the local an remote control panels.
Figure 5-52 shows the window that appears when the “ILS | Configuration options | Lamp
mappings” menu item is selected. An “X”-mark to the left of the warning type indicates that an
active warning of that type will cause the corresponding main warning lamp to be activated.
If the configuration is changed, remember to click the “Update” button to send the new set-
tings to the cabinet.

5.24 DIAGNOSTICS
5.24.1 General description of the diagnostic functions
The NM7000 RMM system has two algorithms to isolate a failure in the ILS. The algorithms
are the
Current data diagnostics
and the
Alarm Event diagnostics
. See chapter 7 for a thor-
ough description of these alghorithms.
5.24.2 Current data diagnostics
This diagnostic function are invoked by selecting ILS|Current data diagnostics. Based upon
the current status of the equipment, the program will suggest the faulty module, if any.
5.24.3 Alarm Event diagnostics
This diagnostic function are invoked from the Event list window. A CHANGEOVER or SHUT-
DOWN event must be selected in the event list, then may the diagnostic function be invoked
by pressing the Event diagnostics button below the event list. Based upon the nature of the
CHANGEOVER or SHUTDOWN event, combined with the contents of the corresponding
alarm storage, the program will suggest the faulty module which originated the alarm. Note
that the event storage diagnostics function will only be able to isolate faults to module level
when a single fault has occurred
5.25 Exporting data
You can export stored measurements to a spreadsheet with the function described in this sec-
tion. Exported data will be stored in an ASCII text file. This text file may then be imported into
a spreadsheet program or a graphical presentation program.
Data from all types of log files may be exported.
The Export data function is located on the file menu. In order to use the function, you must first
open the log file from which you want to export data. This is done by using the File|Open log
function (described in chapter 5.22). When a log file has been opened you may select the
Export data function. The dialog shown in Figure 5-58 will appear. Select the type of data to
export and press OK. You will be prompted to enter a file name for the exported data. The
Decimal point field selects the type decimal point character used when stored data are
exported to a text file. Select the proper setting for use by your spreadsheet program or graph-
ical presentation program.

Figure 5-58 Export data dialog
Each field in the export file are separated by a TAB character. Each line contains all measure-
ments in a sample. The line begins with the time stamp of sample (resolution 1 second). The
next field is 1/10 seconds of the time stamp. The rest of the line is the measurements/param-
eters of the sample.
The type of decimal point used for analog measurements is defined by Decimal point setting
in the Preferences dialog (see chapter 5.4.4).
Digital parameters (OK/ERROR) are exported as numbers, 0 and 1. 1 equals OK, and 0 indi-
cates ERROR.
5.26 Printing reports
When you are logged in on an ILS you can make printouts of several measurements and con-
figurations.
The Print Report function is located on the file menu. To use it you must first connect and log
in on a ILS rack (access level 1). Figure 5-59 shows the Print Report dialog which is opened
when you select the File|Print report menu item.
Figure 5-59 Print Report dialog
The system will print the data you select in the ‘Print’ section of the dialog. The Print setup
button is a shortcut to the Options|Print setup dialog, described in chapter 5.4.3.
5.27 Print screen
To print the screen contents in the Windows 95/NT version, select the File|Print screen menu
option. This will send the current screen contents to the printer port selected in the Print setup
window.
To print the screen under DOS use the "Print Screen" key on the PC keyboard. This will print
the screen on LPT1 (independent of the port selected in the Print setup window).

IMPORTANT:
No adjustments / alignments shall be done during a Periodic Maintenance. The
parameters should be recorded and compared with their nominal values only.
Over some time, the parameters may change due to natural variations. Variations of less
than 50% of their alarm limits, are considered normal. If a parameter is changing more
than 50% of it's alarm limit, it is likely due to a discrepancy / degeneration of a module,
cable etc. In this case, the reason for the discrepancy should be searched for.
If the result calls for changing a module, rephasing of cables etc., a flight check is often
required to verify that parameters are inside operating tolerances.

7 Corrective maintenance
7.1 Overview
This chapter contains procedures for locating and replacing faulty Line Replaceable Units
(LRU).
7.2 Diagnostic functions
7.2.1 General description
If the LLZ or GP fails, the RMM software should be used to locate the faulty LRU.
The RMM software can perform two types of diagnostic tests based on the measurements
made available by the embedded RMS software in the NORMARC 7000 cabinet:
1. “Current data diagnostics”. The diagnose is here based on live data received from an con-
nected ILS rack or based on historical data sets (snap shots) of measurements previously
stored to disk.
2. “Alarm event diagnostics”. This diagnostics function attempts to report the cause of a trans-
mitter changeover or a changeover/shutdown situation. The diagnose is based on a partic-
ular alarm event in the event list and the corresponding measurements in an alarm storage
that will be downloaded from the rack.
The diagnostic tests are based on passive reading of various measurement points inside the
NM70XX cabinet and the data from the executive monitors. No special signals need to be
injected for the algorithms to work (although the transmitters must be turned on).
The operator needs to be logged in at access level 1 to perform a Current data diagnostics
and an Alarm event diagnostics. Since only access level 1 is required, the diagnostics tests
can therefore be performed locally or from a remote location using a modem connection.
7.2.2 Current data diagnostics
The Current data diagnostics is invoked by selecting the ILS | Current data diagnostics menu
item in the RMM software.
There are two typical cases in which the current data diagnostics function may be used:
1. On an operative ILS system, on which a warning situation is indicated. In this case the cur-
rent data diagnostics can be used to quickly find the cause of the warning without taking
the system out of service.
2. In manual mode after a transmitter changeover or shutdown situation (monitor alarm). The
system can then be set to transmit on air, and the current data diagnostics used to locate
the module that is causing the monitor alarms.
For detailed information about the algorithms used in the automatic Current data diagnostics,
refer to section 7.4.3.
7.2.3 Alarm event diagnostics
The RMS subsystem in the NORMARC 7000 cabinet continuously reads data sets from mon-
itor 1, 2 and the standby monitor. The last 30 seconds of data are stored in an internal ring
buffer. This buffer is partitioned in groups with different sampling periods:
• For the last 2 seconds, 10 data sets are stored each second for monitor 1 and 2. Standby
23(5$7,1*0$18$/
1250$5&
&RUUHFWLYHPDLQWHQDQFH 1DYLD$YLDWLRQ$6
monitor data sets are stored at ¼ of this frequency.
• For the last 10 seconds, one data set is stored each second.
• For the last 30 seconds, monitor 1, 2, standby and maintenance data are stored every 5th
second.
When a changeover or shutdown alarm occurs the RMS does the following:
1. Stores the ring buffer with the last 30 seconds of monitor and maintenance data from
before the alarm in an internal alarm storage buffer. This buffer resides in non-volatile
RAM.
2. Places an changeover or shutdown alarm event in the event list. This event includes alarm
state information for each monitor-channel. This information is used by the RMM software
for diagnosing the alarm event.
The RMS keeps the seven most recent alarm storage buffers. A changeover-only situation fills
one alarm storage buffer, while a changeover with subsequent shutdown situation uses two
alarm storage buffers.
No alarm storage buffers will be saved if the equipment is in service mode when the alarm
occurs. (Service mode is activated by any of the following switches: Local, Manual, Write Pro-
tect disable, Interlock Override and the Access Grant enable switch on the Remote Control.)
The data in the buffers can be downloaded by the RMM software when a user initiates an
alarm event diagnostics (if the data is not already downloaded), and used in the diagnostic
algorithms described in the following sections.
The operator initiates an alarm event diagnostics by first selecting a changeover or shutdown
alarm in the Event List and then selects the “Event diagnostics” button.
Once the alarm storage has been downloaded it is also possible to display the individual sam-
ples. This method can be used, in addition to the automatic diagnostic function, to find the
cause of changeover or shutdown alarms.
For information on how to download and display historical data see Chapter 5 in the Operating
Manual.
For detailed information about the algorithms used in the automatic Alarm event diagnostics,
refer to section 7.4.4.
7.2.4 Manual fault diagnosis
Should the automatic diagnostic functions fail or give misleading results, manual diagnosis
using external measurement equipment can be performed.
7.3 LRU change procedures
7.3.1 Replacing units
When replacing any faulty module(s), please follow this procedure:
• Make sure the ILS configuration file from the last flight check is available if one of the fol-
lowing boards need to be replaced: MO1212, LF1223, or RMA1215.
• Make a print report of the monitor and maintenance values to document what the key
parameters were before the faulty module(s) was/were changed.
• Power down the system.
1DYLD$YLDWLRQ$6 &RUUHFWLYHPDLQWHQDQFH
23(5$7,1*0$18$/1250$5&
• Make sure you are wearing an ESD chain that is connected to either the ILS cabinet or
some other grounded point.
• Replace the faulty module.
• Power up the system.
• Perform necessary adjustments for the unit in question; please refer to ch. 7.3.2-7.3.10.
• Check the Monitor and Maintenance parameters, make a new printout and compare with
the printed report made when the system was operating normally.
• If any anomalies are discovered, follow the procedure described in chapters and to locate
the specific error.
The manufacturer don’t recommend repairing faulty units. The ILS cabinet is modularly built
up to make it possible to change smaller parts of the system at a relatively low cost.

7.4.3 Current data diagnostics
The following sub-sections describes the tests performed by the RMM software for current
data diagnostics. All diagnostic solutions detected are recorded and presented to the opera-
tor. If a diagnostic solution is found to be the result of more than one test, the solution that is
the result of most tests will be listed first.
7.4.3.1 I
2
C read error on any board implies a failure on that board
If a board is reported with “ERROR” status there is probably a fault on this board. “ERROR”
indicates that the RMS does not detect valid I2C-bus acknowledge signals from the board
when attempting to read its maintenance data. All boards, except the TX Control board, in the
NM70XX cabinet have an I2C-interface to the RMS board.
Note: If all boards are indicated with “ERROR” status, the problem may be a faulty I2C inter-
face on the RMS board, or any of the boards may have a “stuck-at” error on the I2C bus sig-
nals.
7.4.3.2 Maintenance parameter warnings
7.4.3.2.1 External power supply tests
DIAGNOSTIC ALGORITHM:
If there is a maintenance warning indication on the external power module, there is a problem
with the 27V power supply, the battery chargers or the system is on battery operation.
7.4.3.2.2 Power supply 1 and 2 tests
DIAGNOSTIC ALGORITHM:
1. If there is a maintenance warning indication on power supply 1 and not on power supply 2,
or vice versa, the is a fault on the power supply which has the warning.
2. If there is a maintenance warning on both power supply boards AND not on the external
power module both power supplies are faulty.
7.4.3.2.3 Maintenance warnings without follow-errors
DIAGNOSTIC ALGORITHM:
EXTERNAL FACTOR An external factor influencing monitor measure-
ments.
COMMON CABLING Cabling or any part of the system that is common
for the transmitters or monitor system, e.g.
antenna element, cable, distribution- or monitor-
ing networks.
TX CONTROL TX control board (TCA1218) (LRU)
REMOTE CONTROL Remote control unit (RCA1240) (LRU) or its com-
munication link.
ANTENNA SYSTEM Antenna system.
USER INPUT User defined input on CI1210 is in warning state.
UNABLE TO ISOLATE The diagnostic function was unable to determine
a possible faulty module.
1DYLD$YLDWLRQ$6 &RUUHFWLYHPDLQWHQDQFH
23(5$7,1*0$18$/1250$5&
A maintenance warning on a board listed in the following table indicates that there is a fault on
that board.
7.4.3.2.4 Power amplifier tests
DIAGNOSTIC ALGORITHM:
Warnings on a PA implies PA failure if there is no warning or error on the corresponding OS or
LF.
DESCRIPTION:
The algorithm assumes that a warning indication on any of the measurements on a PA means
there is a failure on this PA, if the corresponding OS and LF have no maintenance warning
indications. (A fault on the OS and LF may cause a warning on the PA.)
7.4.3.2.5 Monitor 1 and 2 frontend tests
DIAGNOSTIC ALGORITHM:
Warning on monitor frontend 1 implies monitor frontend 1 failure if there is no warning on
monitor frontend 2 and vice versa.
DESCRIPTION:
The maintenance measurements from the monitor frontend boards will be affected by the
monitor input signals, i.e. the diagnostic algorithm can not use these measurements alone to
reliably diagnose fault on the monitor frontend boards. The algorithm assumes that both fron-
tends are fed the same input signals. If a maintenance warning then exists on one, but not
both of the boards, this board is assumed to be faulty. If maintenance warnings exists on both
boards no knowledge is gained about monitor frontend health status.
7.4.3.2.6 Remote control tests
DIAGNOSTIC ALGORITHM:
If there is a “RC link status” warning, there is a problem with the remote control or its data link.
DESCRIPTION:
A warning on the RC link status indicates that the TXC does not receive valid data from the
remote control unit.
7.4.3.2.7 Transmitter control tests
DIAGNOSTIC ALGORITHM:
TX control “EPROM check” or “Integrity check” warnings indicate a failure on the TXC board.
7.4.3.2.8 Standby monitor tests

7.4.3.2.9 Standby monitor frontend tests
DIAGNOSTIC ALGORITHM:
If there is a warning on the standby monitor frontend board AND there is no warning or alarm
indication on the standby monitor measurements then the standby monitor frontend board is
faulty.
7.4.3.2.10 User defined parameters
DIAGNOSTIC ALGORITHM:
If there is a warning on any of the user defined inputs then “User defined input” is faulty.
7.4.3.3 Monitor self-test error
DIAGNOSTIC ALGORITHM:
Monitor self-test failure indicates an error on the monitor board that reports this failure.
7.4.3.4 Monitor DC-loop alarm
DIAGNOSTIC ALGORITHM:
If both monitor 1 AND monitor 2 reports DC-loop alarms or warnings the antenna has a bro-
ken element.
7.4.3.5 Monitor warning tests
DIAGNOSTIC ALGORITHM:
Figure 7-1 illustrates the tests done by the RMM software for automatically diagnosing faults
that result in monitor 1 and 2 warning indications.

7.4.3.6 Monitor disagree
DIAGNOSTIC ALGORITHM:
If one monitor indicates delayed warning, raw alarm or alarm on any parameter and the other
monitor does not, then the monitor which indicates the delayed warning, raw alarm or alarm is
probably faulty.
7.4.4 Alarm event diagnostics
7.4.4.1 Changeover without shutdown
The flow diagram in Figure 7-2 describes the algorithm used to diagnosing a changeover
alarm that is not followed by a shutdown alarm. The RMM software uses the maximum config-
ured monitor alarm delay to determine whether a changeover alarm is followed by a shut-
down. If no shutdown alarm event occurred within the maximum configured alarm delay after
the changeover alarm event this algorithm will be used.

B.1 Cat I monitor LIMIT configuration
Factory default alarm, warning-limits and nominal values are shown in Table 1.
DDM values are in % DDM (which is the default DDM measurement unit in the RMM soft-
ware).
Limit values are relative to the configured nominal value. The nominal values for DDM mea-
surements can be configured by the user. Other nominal values can not be modified by the
user.
Monitor 1 and monitor 2 are always configured equally and according to Table 1. The standby
monitor are also configured according to this table, but with a few exceptions, see the notes
following the table.
Note that for the CL, DS, NF, CLR, and FFM channels the alarm limits are fine-tuned during
commissioning and flight tests to match each site installation.
For information on using the RMM software to set the monitor limits, see chapter 5.8 in the

Table B-1 CAT I alarm and warning limits.
Notes:
1. Unused DC loop channels: Set monitor alarm limits OFF and warning limits to 100%.
2. Unused Far Field Monitor (FFM) channels: Set monitor alarm limits to OFF and warning
limits to 100% (RF warning to ±100).
3. Unused VOICE channels: Set alarm limits to OFF and warning limits to ±204.
4. Standby monitor: Always disable alarms and warnings on the following channels: Near
Field, DC-loop, Far Field Monitor, and Voice.
B.1.1 Description of the FFM EXE AL limits
The FFM EXE AL (Far Field Monitor Executive Alarm) parameter is used to implement execu-
tive changeover/shutdown on FFM alarms. This measurement is zero when no alarms exists
on the FFM DDM/SDM/RF parameters. When an alarm has lasted for the time configured in
the FFM delay value, this measurement will be set to the value 101.
By setting the FFM EXE AL high alarm limit to 100, the TX Control will initiate an (executive)
changeover or shutdown on FFM parameter alarms. (Actually, any high alarm limit between 1
and 100 would work, but 100 is recommended as the default if executive FFM alarms is
desired.)
For non-executive FFM alarms, set the FFM EXE AL high alarm limit to a value higher than
101 (200 is recommended as the default).
B.1.2 Description of the CL IDENT and CLR IDENT limits
The CL IDENT and CLR IDENT parameters are the absolute value of the difference between
two consecutive 1020 Hz modulation measurements taken on the Course Line and Clearance
channels. This means that these parameters will have the value 0 when, for example, the
ident-keyer stops sending Morse code or if the 1020 Hz tone is continuously on (at approxi-
mately the same level). A positive non-zero value is therefore an indication of ident. modula-
tion activity.
The recommended low warning limit is 2.5. The ident. modulation levels then needs to be

large enough to periodically produce a CL or CLR IDENT measurement that is greater than
this low limit to reset the IDENT delay counter. All measurements that is greater than this min-
imum value should be accepted, the upper warning limit is therefore set to a large value (20 is
the recommended value).
If executive changeover/shutdown is desired on alarms on the CL or CLR IDENT parameters,
the warning limits recommended above should be used, instead of OFF, on the alarm limits.
B.2 Cat II monitor LIMIT configuration
For Cat II equipment the monitor limits are configured as for Cat I (see table 1), with the
exceptions shown in Table B-2. (Only the LLZ limits are different.)
Table B-2 Alarm and warning limits for Cat II equipment.
B.3 Cat III monitor LIMIT configuration
For Cat III equipment the monitor limits are configured as for Cat I (see table 1), with the
exceptions shown in Table B-3. (Only the LLZ limits are different.)
Table B-3 Alarm and warning limits for Cat III equipment.
B.4 Executive Monitor delay configuration
The factory default delay configuration for Cat I and II/III (values compliant with ICAO Annex
10) are shown in Factory default delay values..
Note that Annex 10 specifies the total changeover + shutdown delay after an alarm. The delay
values used in the NORMARC 7000 RMM software are the time delay between the detection
of an alarm and the resulting changeover or shutdown. When a changeover takes place the
delay counters are reset. The values entered in the RMM software are therefore set to the
Annex 10 value divided by two.
The NF delay is used for alarms on the NF DDM, SDM and RF parameters. The IDENT delay
is used on the CL/CLR IDENT, MORSE and VOICE parameters. The FFM delay is used on all
FFM parameters including FFM EXE AL. The GEN delay is used on all remaining parameters.
See chapter 5.8.3 in the Operating Manual for information on delay configuration using the
RMM software.

C Maintenance Procedures
The following maintenance instructions are derived from FAA manual 6750.49 chapter 5. The
reference paragraph numbers are identical to FAA numbers. FAA manual 6750.49 chapter 4
should be used as guide to select the Monthly, Quarerly, Semiannually etc. instructions in this
chapter. If FAA chapter 4 refers to an item not found in this chapter, the item in FAA manual
chapter 5 should be used.
5.40 LINE ENTRY OF NORMAL READINGS.
a. Object.
This procedure provides a method to complete a line entry of the normal parameters on FAA
Form 6750-26, with the equipment in normal configuration.
b. Discussion.
A line entry of the glide slope normal parameters is required after equipment transfer, before a
normal end-fire glide slope ground check, and periodically as required in chapter 4. This
check is made without adjustment to the equipment and can be performed from a remote
maintenance monitor (RMM). Computer generated data reports may be used in lieu of FAA
forms.
c. Test Equipment Required.
1. A portable ILS receiver (PIR).
2. A dvm.
3. BIRD wattemeter.
NOTE:
Chapter 1, Paragraph 1-2b, Test Equipment, discusses external test equipment and BITE,
and their proper use in the NAS. Particular attention must be paid to the proper use and main-
tenance of test equipment to ensure accurate evaluations of equipment operation. For
instance, when using a BIRD wattmeter for power measurements, the same set of rf bodies,
wattmeter, and elements must be utilized due to the variability of the wattmeter components.
For BITE, proper calibration and verification of measurements are required.
d. Conditions.
The facility is operating normally. For facilities that are equipped with standby equipment,
switch standby equipment on-line to take readings.
e. Detailed Procedure.
At the local site or RMM location, perform the following steps.
(1) Measure and record the normal course SBO dc voltage on Navia Aviation Form “All Glide
Slopes Normal Radiatied Parameters”.
(3) Measure and record the monitor width DDM (DS), the monitor course DDM (CL), and the
modulation equality (carrier feedline DDM) on Navia Aviation Form “All Glide Slopes Normal
Radiatied Parameters”.
(4) To obtain a computer generated data report of normal readings, log onto the facility to be
recorded, check that the transmitter to be recorded is “On Antenna”. The report may be
printed by interacting the “Print report” window in the File menu. Include the Front Panel in
23(5$7,1*0$18$/
&
1250$5&
0DLQWHQDQFH3URFHGXUHV 1DYLD$YLDWLRQ$6
order to inform which transmitter was active to the antennas during measurements.
(5) At all dual equipment facilities complete a normal line entry for each set of equipment.
5-41 LOCAL AND REMOTE MONITOR SHUTDOWN OPERATION.
a. Object.
This procedure provides a method to determine that a shutdown is properly sensed at the
local and/or remote control points.
b. Discussion.
Certain alarms in the ILS equipment shall result in an equipment transfer and/or shutdown.
Also, if remotely monitored, an indication that the facility is shut down shall be received at the
remote monitor location. This check confirms that the shutdown occurs and that the remote
control point is properly notified. This check can also be initiated and monitored from a
remote maintenance monitor (RMM) location.
c. Conditions.
The facility is operating normally. Advance coordination of this maintenance activity with air
traffic control personnel is required.
d. Detailed Procedure.
1. Simulate a continuous alarm, or from the RMM perform a station integrity check.
2. Allow a shutdown to occur.
3. Determine that the proper remote and local alarm indications occurred.
4. If remote restore capability is installed, restore the facility from the remote control point or
allow the auto-restart circuit to restore the facility.
5. Make an entry in the facility log that this check was completed.
5-42 thru 5-44 reserved.
5-45 CAPTURE-EFFECT MONITOR.
a. Object.
This procedure provides a method to determine whether the glide slope monitor alarm points
are within the reference values established during the reference flight inspection.
b. Discussion.
1. The glide slope monitor is used to ensure the integrity of the glide slope system by permit-
ting the glide slope to operate only if certain system parameters are within the limits estab-
lished during the reference flight inspection. This performance check is accomplished by
adjusting the transmitting equipment to cause a monitor alarm and then verifying that the
radiated parameters are within established reference values. If a radiated parameter is
found outside the established reference values, it must be determined if the condition is
due to monitor drift. If so, the monitor alarm points must be tightened to ensure that for
day-to-day monitor drift, the monitor will alarm whenever the radiated signal parameters
are at or beyond the established reference values.
2. The reference data must be measured carefully. Rf power measurements using the Bird
Wattmeter must always be accomplished with the same meter and elements. The ele-
ments shall be clearly marked. In addition to the rf wattmeter readings, it is recommended
1DYLD$YLDWLRQ$6 0DLQWHQDQFH3URFHGXUHV
23(5$7,1*0$18$/1250$5&
&
that a digital voltmeter (dvm) be used to obtain reference readings for carrier and sideband
power in normal, wide, and narrow alarm. These reference readings can be made with
greater repeatability by using the dvm than by using the analog wattmeter. This is done by
connecting a dvm, set to measure dc voltage, to the detector element output in place of the
normal meter. Improved consistency in dvm readings will result if the dvm input is shunted
with a 1400-W ±1 percent resistor. This resistor presents the same load to the detector
elements as the normal analog meter. If the reference readings are made with the load
resistor in place, all future measurements must be made in this configuration.
3. Measurements taken with built in test equipment (BITE) (i.e., power, DDM, modulation,
etc.) must be verified for accuracy with external test equipment as outlined in this hand-
book. This is to ensure that repeatable results are obtained and maintained in the case of
internal equipment failure and/or replacement of modules that effect BITE measurements.
4. For equipment that uses a maintenance data terminal (MDT), when adjusting the phase of
a signal, the number of degrees adjusted may need to be determined from a reference
index number. This may be accomplished via a table or conversion chart, usually found in
the equipment TI. For this reason, the alternate methods described in the procedures (i.e.,
the addition and removal of line lengths, elbows, etc.) is recommended.
5. The monitor DDM values are the monitor input values as measured with a PIR or the digital
readout values of the monitor or as measured with BITE/MDT. No tolerance is established
for the DDM values. They are used to detect trends such as system or monitor drift.
6. This performance check requires a line entry on Navia Aviation Form “CEGS Monitor Ref-
erence Data”. The reference data line contains the reference data used to perform a mon-
itor performance check. The reference data line can only be updated in accordance with
paragraph 5-7.
c. Test Equipment Required.
1. A portable ILS receiver (PIR).
2. BITE/MDT
3. BIRD wattmeter
4. A dvm.
5. The FA-9438 modulation meter or equivalent.
d. Conditions.
A facility shutdown is required for this check.
e. Detailed Procedure.
1. Preliminary actions.
(a) Refer to Navia Aviation Form “CEGS Monitor Reference Data” for the reference values
specified during the monitor performance check.
(b) Verify that modulation is 40 percent for each tone. (PIR connected to CSB COU test con-
nector on facility front). The facility must be properly phased.
(c) Set up the PIR or equivalent to measure DDM in the carrier feedline and ensure that mod-
ulation equality (0 DDM) exists.
(d) Bypass the equipment monitor(s).
2. Width alarms.
(a) Connect the dvm to the transmitter SBO test connector.
. This voltage represents the nomi-
nal transmitter SBO power in front of the SBO step attenuator
. Measure the dc voltage, note
23(5$7,1*0$18$/
&
1250$5&
0DLQWHQDQFH3URFHGXUHV 1DYLD$YLDWLRQ$6
the transmitter SBO attenuator value and record in Table “CEGS Monitor Reference Data”.
Compare the values to the reference values. If found outside the tolerance ivestigation should
be carried out.
(b) Decrease the sideband power (increase the SBO attenuator value) until the monitor is in
alarm. Confirm that this attenuator value is not greater than the flight checked reference value.
Record this SBO attenuator value. If the alarm value has been exceeded, corrective action
should be taken.
(c) Measure and record the width monitor DDM on Navia Aviation Form "CEGS Monitor Ref-
erence Data". The width DDM is availible in the PMDT Monitor 1 window
.
Note that no toler-
ance exists on this entry. It is used to detect trends.
(d) Increase the sideband power (decrease the SBO attenuator value) until the monitor is in
alarm. Confirm that this attenuator value is not less than the flight checked reference value.
Record this SBO attenuator value. If the alarm value has been exceeded, corrective action
should be taken.
(e) Measure and record the width monitor DDM on Navia Aviation Form “CEGS Monitor Refer-
ence Data”. The width DDM is availible in the PMDT Monitor 1 window
.
Note that no tolerance
exists on this entry. It is used to detect trends.
(g) Return the sideband power to normal.
3. Path angle alarms (integral).
(a) Connect the PIR to measure DDM in the carrier feedline (Facility CSB test connector).
(b) Using the PMDT, open Test DDM window, click on TX1 dominance Off button to activate 90
Hz predominance (assuming transmitter 1 is active to the antennas). If necessary adjust Inc or
Dec until the monitor course position channel has just passed the threshold of alarm. Measure
and record the carrier feedline DDM value on Navia Aviation Form “CEGS Monitor Reference
Data”. Confirm that the carrier feedline DDM is not more than established reference value. If
not within tolerance, corrective action is required.
(c) Measure and record the course monitor DDM on Navia Aviation Form “CEGS Monitor
Reference Data”. The course monitor DDM can be observed in the currently active Test DDM
window as parameter MON1 CL DDM Nom. Note that no tolerance is established for this
entry. It is used only to detect trends.
(d) Repeat the procedure in steps (b) and (c) with the TX1 dominance button activated to 150
Hz.
(e) Restore the TX1 dominance button to off.
4. SBO dephasing alarms.
(a) Insert a N type elbow in the CSB carrier feedline. (CSB phase retarded)
(b) Confirm that the phase change is within the operating tolerance in chapter 3.
(c) Repeat the procedure in step (b) with the SBO phase retarded.

&
(d) Remove the added line lengths.
5. Middle antenna dephasing alarms.
(a) Insert and adjust the test kit phaser in the middle antenna feedline until the clearance
monitor alarms. The test kit phaser should be the same as used for the reference flight check
that established the Navia Aviation Form "CEGS Monitor Reference Data" values. Also, the
test phaser should have been previously checked with a vector voltmeter to ensure accuracy.
A preferred alternate method is to add the same predetermined line length (type N or BNC
elbows, or equivalent) to both the lower and upper antenna outputs of the APCU.
(b) Record the change in degrees in the middle antenna dephasing column on Navia Aviation
Form “CEGS Monitor Reference Data”. Confirm that the value is within established reference
value. If not within tolerance, corrective action is required.
(c) Repeat the procedure in the above steps with the middle antenna phase retarded (the
same line length added to the middle antenna output).
(d) Restore the middle antenna phase to normal, or remove the test phaser or lines.
6. Attenuate upper antenna alarm.
(a) Insert the capture-effect test kit attenuator into the upper antenna feedline. This attenua-
tor should have been previously checked with a vector voltmeter to ensure that the total inser-
tion phase delay equals 360° ±5°. Also, the accuracy of the dial calibration of the attenuator
should be verified. Refer to paragraph 5-155 for this procedure.
(b) Adjust the test attenuator until the path monitor alarms. (c) Record the attenuation value
in the upper antenna attenuation column on Navia Aviation Form “CEGS Monitor Reference
Data”. Confirm that the attenuation is less than, or equal to, the established reference value.
If not within tolerance, corrective action is required.
(d) Remove the test attenuator from the upper antenna feedline.
7. Attenuate middle antenna alarm.
(a) Insert the capture-effect test kit attenuator into the middle antenna feedline.
(b) Adjust the test attenuator until the width monitor alarms.
(c) Record the attenuation value in the middle antenna attenuation column on Navia Aviation
Form “CEGS Monitor Reference Data”. Confirm that the attenuation is less than, or equal to,
the established reference value. If not within tolerance, corrective action is required.
(d) Remove the test attenuator from the middle antenna feedline.
8. Modulation level alarms.
(a) Reduce the carrier power until the monitor is in rf low-level alarm. This is accomplished
from the PMDT: Open the TX Adjustments window. Select COURSE RF Power (for active
23(5$7,1*0$18$/
&
1250$5&
0DLQWHQDQFH3URFHGXUHV 1DYLD$YLDWLRQ$6
transmitter to antenna). Note the 3-digits value.
(b) Then reduce the value of the 3-digits number followed by Update until the monitor chan-
nel CL is in alarm. Measure and record the COU CSB dc voltage at the transmitter test con-
nector.
(c) Measure the carrier power using the BIRD wattmeter connecting to the course CSB feed-
line inside the facility.
(d) Restore the carrier rf power to normal (original 3-digit value).Measure and record the car-
rier power still connecting the BIRD wattmeter to the course CSB feedline inside the facility.
(e) Determine if the carrier power reduction corresponding to alarm is within the operating
tolerance in chapter 3.
(f) Remove the wattmeter from the carrier feedline.
9. Rf level alarms.
(a) Reduce the carrier power until the monitor is in rf low-level alarm. This is accomplished
from the PMDT: Open the TX Adjustments window. Select COURSE RF Power (for active
transmitter to antenna). Note the 3-digits value.
(b) Then reduce the value of the 3-digits number followed by Update until the monitor chan-
nel CL is in alarm. Measure and record the COU CSB dc voltage at the transmitter test con-
nector.
(c) Measure the carrier power using the BIRD wattmeter connecting to the course CSB feed-
line inside the facility.
(d) Restore the carrier rf power to normal (original 3-digit value).Measure and record the car-
rier power still connecting the BIRD wattmeter to the course CSB feedline inside the facility.
(e) operating tolerance in chapter 3.
(f) Remove the wattmeter from the carrier feedline.
10.Clearance transmitter. Repeat steps (8) and (9).
NOTE:
The FA-9438 modulation meter may not accurately measure the high 150 Hz modulation per-
centage. In this case, use the alternate procedure explained in paragraph 5-47.
11.Restore the facility to service.

5-47 90 AND 150 Hz MODULATION PERCENTAGES.
a. Object.
This procedure provides a method to determine the amplitude modulation percentages of the
90 and 150 Hz navigational tones.
b. Discussion.
1. The FA-9438 modulation meter (or equivalent) is the primary standard for the measure-
ment of modulation percentage. Other equivalent pieces of test equipment could include a
portable ILS receiver (PIR) capable of measuring modulation directly or built-in test equip-
ment (BITE). These may be substituted for the FA-9438 when properly calibrated and/or
verified for accuracy. The oscilloscope method is a backup method that uses the detected
composite carrier envelope for determining the approximate percentage. The oscilloscope
reference values should be noted when flight inspection or FA-9348 modulation meter have
been used to measure modulation.
2. If flight inspection reports the modulation out of tolerance, reconfirm your measurement. If
the measurement is within the FA-9438 or BITE that has been verified with the FA-9438,
before adjusting the transmitter modulation percentage to meet flight inspection tolerances,
advise flight inspection personnel of your situation. If possible, ask them to verify their sys-
tem calibration and check for radio-frequency interference (rfi). Factors that may cause a
difference in modulation percentage readings are:
(a) Excessive carrier component distortion.
(b) FA-9438 calibration correction factor or front panel calibration.
(c) BITE malfunction. With standby equipment, a quick check might be made by transferring
to the standby to check for the same indication.
(d) Transmitter output spectrum and frequency and the 90 and 150 Hz frequencies.
(e) Stray rf pickup by the cable connecting the FA-9438 to the rf wattmeter body coupler may
cause erroneous or inconsistent readings. Double-shielded coaxial cable, such as RG-223/U
will minimize stray rf pickup by the cable.
c. Test Equipment Required.
1. The FA-9438 modulation meter (or equivalent).
d. Conditions.
The facility is operating normally.
e. Procedures.
Refer to Instruction Book TI 6750.141, Installation, Operation, and Maintenance Instructions
for Meter, ILS Modulation, Type FA-9438, section 3, for complete front panel calibration and
operational instructions. The following steps are a digest of those instructions. Steps (1)
23(5$7,1*0$18$/
&
1250$5&
0DLQWHQDQFH3URFHGXUHV 1DYLD$YLDWLRQ$6
through (5) are the front panel calibration steps. The alternate procedure (paragraph g) uses
the oscilloscope to determine the approximate modulation percentage.
1. Turn the FA-9438 ac power switch ON and allow a 10-minute warmup.
2. Place the function selector switch to RF ZERO, and adjust the RF ZERO control for 00.0 on
the PERCENT MODULATION indication.
3. Place the function selector switch to DISPLAY ZERO, and adjust the DISPLAY ZERO con-
trol for 00.0 on the PERCENT MODULATION indicator.
4. Place the function selector switch to CAL 150 Hz, and adjust the CAL 150 Hz control for
42.5 on the PERCENT MODULATION indicator.
5. Place the function selector switch to CAL 90 Hz, and adjust the CAL 90 Hz control for 42.5
on the PERCENT MODULATION INDICATOR.
NOTE:
It may be necessary to repeat steps (2) through (5) occasionally as the FA-9438 warms up.
6. Use a double-shielded coaxial cable and connect the modulation meter to the COU CSB
test connector on the front of the facility. Insert a 20 dB attenuator at the input of the modu-
lation meter.
7. Place the function selector switch to LOCALIZER or GLIDE SLOPE, as appropriate, and
read the 90 Hz and 150 Hz modulation percentages on the PERCENT MODULATION indi-
cator.
8. Record the percentages on FAA Form 6750-32, and determine if they are in tolerance.
9. At two-frequency facilities, complete the steps above for the clearance transmitter on a dif-
ferent FAA Form 6750-32. (Test cable connected to CLR CSB test connector.)
10.Restore the equipment to normal.
