2.4.1.2 POST-INSTALLATION CHECKOUT/OPERATION
(1) General
Installation of the MMDR system requires three stages of testing to ensure 
the proper operation of the MMDR.  Initially, prior to the installation of the 
MMDR and antenna, a system interwiring check should be performed.  This 
check verifies that the aircraft and all MMDR interconnections are correct 
before power is applied.  After the units are installed a visual inspection of 
the equipment and connections is made.  Finally, a ramp test is performed.
(2) System 
Interwiring 
Check
To check the aircraft and MMDR system interconnections proceed as fol-
lows:
(a) 
Check that all cables and interwiring are installed in accordance with 
the Interwiring and Cable Harness Fabrication instructions (para-
graph
(b) Using 
the 
applicable 
interconnection information, check wiring for 
proper destination, opens, and shorts.
(c) 
Check rf cables for insertion loss and VSWR.
(3) Visual 
Inspection
In conjunction with system installation, perform the inspection/check proce-
dure (
).
(4) Post-Installation 
Test (Nav/Com Functionality)
Perform a ground check of the installation prior to the flight test. Using a lo-
cal frequency, confirm that the COM function can receive and transmit a 
modulated signal. Using a ramp tester, confirm that VOR, LOC, and GS 
needle deflections move in the correct direction, the To/From flag is the 
proper sense, and that the warning flags are functioning properly. An oper-
ation performance flight test is recommended after the installation is com-
pleted to insure satisfactory performance of the equipment in its normal en-
vironment. Check all aircraft control movements to be sure no electrical ca-
bles interfere with their operation.
To check the communications transceiver, maintain an altitude of at least 
1500 feet and contact a ground station facility at a range of at least fifty nau-
tical miles. Contact a ground station close in. Pull the volume control knob 
out to defeat the automatic squelch feature and listen for any unusual elec-
trical noise which would reduce the COM receiver sensitivity by increasing 
the squelch threshold. If possible, verify the communications capability on 
both the high and low end of the VHF COM band.
