The Ideal Aerosmith PTS-3500B Weather Radar Test System provides automated return-to-service testing of all current models of the Rockwell Collins digital Weather Radar Systems, including the WXR-700, the Forward Looking Windshear (FLW) unit, and the Multi-scan WXR-2100 radar systems. The system is used by Rockwell Collins' service centers worldwide for Level I and II testing of R/Ts, antenna pedestals, radar control panels, and dedicated radar indicators, and it is specified as the recommended test solution in the respective Rockwell Collins CMMs.
The PTS-3500B is a complete turnkey test system containing all of the hardware and software that an avionics shop needs to test and re-certify weather radar LRUs. The system replaces the previous generation of obsolete manual test equipment and provides the added benefit of automation by running the same ADATE software that Rockwell Collins uses. This minimizes test discrepancies between the avionics shop and the OEM, since both are using the same test hardware and software. The system also has a manual mode that allows the user to control LRU inputs and read LRU outputs in a manner identical to that of the previous manual equipment, reducing upgrade training requirements.
NOTE: A WXI-701 (622-5128-XXX) or WXI-711 (622-6514-XXX) Radar Indicator is required for test and must be supplied by the user. It is not included in the system.
Please note that the PTS-3500B WXR Test System uses ADATE test applicaiton software that is owned, controlled, sold and updated by Rockwell Collins.
Ideal Aerosmith routinely provides on-site installation, commissioning, and training at each customer's site. To discuss a particular radar test application, please contact Ideal Aerosmith.
