SECTION 2: L-3 STORMSCOPE INTERFACE

NOTE: Refer to the WX-500 Pilot's Guide for a detailed

description of the WX-500 STORMSCOPE.

The L-3 STORMSCOPE WX-500 Weather Map-

ping Sensor is a passive weather avoidance system

that detects electrical discharges associated with

thunderstorms within a 200-NM radius of the aircraft.

The STORMSCOPE measures relative bearing and

distance of thunderstorm-related electrical activity and

reports the information to the display. Interfaces are

currently only available for the WX-500 STORM-

SCOPE System.

The 400W/500W Series units perform a self-

test during power-up to ensure proper opera-

tion of the applicable interface components.

The power-up self-test ensures that the WX-500

functions are operating properly. An error message

is displayed on the Message Page if data is no longer

being received.

In addition to the power-up test, the WX-500 per-

forms a continuous self-test. This continuous self-test

is performed several times per minute. A user-initiated

test can also be performed. The WX-500 Pilot' s Guide

lists all of the possible faults, probable causes, and

recommended actions if system failures are noted.

In addition to the power-up test, the user can

perform a self-test that is executed through

the 400W/500W Series unit display.

To perform a user-initiated test:

From the default Nav Page, turn the small

right knob to select the Lightning (LTNG)

Page.

Press MENU to display the Page Menu.

Turn the small right knob to select "Self-

Test?" and press ENT.
