RADAR TEST SET
ASSEMBLY AND PREPARATION FOR USE
GENERAL
Before you use the TS-4530/UPM, perform the following procedures.
a. Press RELIEF VALVE on transit case cover to release any internal pressure.
b. Release the five case latches and open the transit case cover.
c. Check TS-4530/UPM for completeness against equipment listed in WP0002 00.
Do not short positive and negative terminals together when handling NI-CAD
batteries. If you short the battery terminals, the battery cells may EXPLODE
and cause you INJURY or DEATH.
d. Visually inspect all items for any damage. If damage is visible, refer to Preventive Maintenance Checks
and Services (WP0024 00).
NOTE
When regularly using the Test Set, be sure you keep both battery sticks fully
charged. This will provide a charged, spare battery stick to maintain
continuous Test Set operation. If the battery stick is to be stored for more
than 30 days, it should be discharged prior to storage to maximize storage
life.
e. Charge battery stick (WP0007 00).
NOTE
If a battery stick is not available, NI-CAD or NiMH rechargeable C-size
batteries or C-size alkaline batteries may be substituted. Do not substitute
with carbon-type batteries. Carbon-type batteries are not capable of
supplying required current during interrogation portion of Test Set test cycle
due to high internal resistance. Refer to WP0008 00 for details on battery
substitution.
BATTERY STICK INSTALLATION
Install battery stick as follows:
Do not short positive and negative terminals together when handling NI-CAD
batteries. If you short the battery terminals, the battery cells may EXPLODE
and cause you INJURY or DEATH.
NOTE
You will not damage the Test Set if battery stick is inserted so that the
polarity is incorrect, but Test Set will not operate until battery stick is correctly
installed.
