For approximately 30 seconds after first switch on the Phalcon 2000 will carry out set up, self-test
and calibration.
An internal sounder gives an indication of correct operation. The unit will go through a set up
procedure and perform a self-calibration routine for about 30 seconds after power is first applied.
As calibration is completed for each band the sounder will emit a series of bleeps to indicate either
pass or fail.
A pass is indicated by a Morse letter U “ DIT DIT DAH “ and a fail indicated by a letter D “ DAH DIT
DIT  “. The calibration sequence is S-Band followed by X-Band.
Each calibration takes approximately 10 seconds to complete. For 10 minutes after switch-on the
Phalcon 2000 will emit a bleep each time it receives an interrogating radar pulse. The sounder is
only activated when the Phalcon 2000 is alert or active.
Two Morse letters U, followed by random bleeping as the Phalcon 2000 is interrogated during its
alert periods indicate correct operation of the unit.
The Phalcon 2000 response code and duty period are set at the factory.
Caution:
Each module is set and tested for optimum performance at the factory.  Whilst
Phalcon 2000 modules are easy to replace, we do not recommend the
interchanging of modules between Phalcon 2000 units.
When the Phalcon 2000 has been fitted to its mounting and connected to a suitable power supply,
its response code and service period can be confirmed using the Settings command as described
in Phalcon 2000 Handbook.  A convenient ship or harbour radar can be used to check for the
correct operation of the Phalcon 2000.
If a serial data terminal is available then additional information as to the operational status of the
Phalcon 2000 will be available.  Refer to the Phalcon 2000 Handbook for more information.
If the unit does not go through these sequences as indicated, please contact Pharos Marine
Immediately.
