TACAN Test Sets ATC-1400A-2 and T-1401-2

TACAN Test Sets ATC-1400A-2 and T-1401-2, REFURBISHED The AN/ARM-135 Intermediate TACAN Test Set requires both the ACT-1400A-2 and the T-1401-2 to perform intermediate testing and repair of the TACAN receiver-transmitter and the TACAN Analog-to- Digital Adapter. The Viavi / Aeroflex ATC-1400A-2 is a Transponder/DME microprocessor based bench tester developed for comprehensive testing and troubleshooting of ATC (Air Traffic Control) / Transponder equipment and DME (Distance Measuring Equipment).

The ATC-1400A can be operated either manually using the front panel controls and switches, or remotely by ATE control utilizing the GPIB interface.

Automatic frequency stepping DME Serial Data Output IEEE-488-1978 GPIB Digital display of decoded transponder reply pulses Variable interference and double interrogation pulse position DME serial data output DME serial data input Variable interference and double interrogation pulse position Continuous display of UUT, PRF, % Reply, Transmitter Frequency and Power Variable SLS and Echo Pulse Level Continuous display of UUT, PRF, % Reply, Transmitter Frequency and Power Acceleration, velocity and range DME Modes Remote operation via IEEE 488-1978 bus 2-out-of-5 code frequency channeling outputs TACAN Channel: VOR pairing, or direct UHF frequency selection The Aeroflex / IFR T-1401-2 avionics test equipment provides a full range of TACAN bearing and DME simulation required to test and service air-to-air and ground-to-air airborne equipment in both normal and inverse modes.

The control settings on the T-1401-2 front panel determine the mode of operation. Selecting Ground-to-Air (G/A) Mode enables the Identification and Equalizer pulse pairs. The ATC- 1400A-2 also sends mode information when connected to the T-1401-2 through the Aeroflex Bus. ATC- 1400A-2 mode information includes Identification On/Off, Equalizer On/Off, X/Y Mode and P1 and P2 pulse spacing. Refurbished equipment only; vendor must validate serviceability and deliver product calibrated.
