For the very latest specifications visit www.aeroflex.com The MLS-801 ramp test set provides Microwave Landing System angle receiver go/no-go verification testing Avionics MLS-801 Microwave Landing System Ramp Test Set • Rugged construction, meets MIL-T- 28800D, Type 2, Class 2, Style A requirements • Automatic Test Sequence mode to allow one person operation • Control Motion Deflection Position to test auto-pilot coupling • Complete simulation of the MLS transmission cycle, including all angular information as well as data words • Built-In-Test (BIT) for confidence testing and fault isolation of the test set • Manual deflection controls for both Azimuth and Elevation • Two power output levels for short and long range testing requirements • Internal battery allowing 2 hours (approx.) of operation before recharge. Automatic power shutdown after approximately 15 minutes of non-use Aeroflex is a leader in the design, manufacture and marketing of Avionics test systems. The MLS-801 ramp test set provides go/no-go verification of the Microwave Landing System angle receiver installed in an aircraft. The test set generates a single channel signal that includes all necessary AM and DPSK modulation for testing of the azimuth, elevation, back azimuth and clearance functions as well as all basic data words in their standard test conditions. Controls on the IFR MLS-801 provide for angle offset, deviation and slewing in order to allow the operator to exercise the Glideslope and Localizer deviation, to observe control surface motion and to test offset approach angles. Other Features • Dynamic Slew capability at 0.05, 0.1, 0.5 and 1.0 degrees/second. • Left and Right Clearance pulse simulation. • Azimuth, High Rate Azimuth and Back Azimuth offset approach simulation of up to 40 degrees. • Elevation approach angle simulation from 1 to 10 degrees. • Fixed transmission frequency, set to the FAA specified channel (500). • Auxiliary RF, Video and Sync Pulse outputs for use in limited bench testing.
