5.3.6 Measuring instrument Necessary for Repair and Calibration

Repair and calibration of the transponder ATC 2000 necessitate measuring

instruments of adequate accuracy and should the following instruments no be
available for this purpose, only instrumentation of equivalent accuracy must be
used to ensure that repair, calibration and final testing are in keeping with
requirements

5.5 Calibrating instructions

5.5.1 The transponder must only be calibrated when the specified values are no
longer attained in final testing, especially after changing semiconductors or
components.
These calibration ¡instructions also contain information regarding setting and
testing all of which is intended to facilitate systematic fault-tracing.
To calibrate the transponder or for trouble + shooting the receiver/decoder module
can be positioned vertical into the servicing position. Carry out final testing after
calibrating (see final testing 5.6).
Unless explicitly stated otherwise, operate the transponder in the ALT mode for all
measurements.

5.5.2 Pulse Diagrams and Voltage Levels
The pulse shapes depicted in the calibration instructions are merely typical, and
also the oscillogram shown merely applied generally for testing and trouble-
shooting, i.e., differences will occur depending on the oscilloscope being used in
addition, voltage levels are given in the modular circuit diagram to facilitate trouble
- shooting.

5.5.4 Testing and Calibrating the Encoder/Power Supply Module

Produce the test setup as per Fig- 5-1 and set the power supply to 14 V.
