LV6 Navigation Systems Test Panel
(DAI Part# LV6)
The LinAire LV6 Navigation systems Test Panel is engineered to operate and provide aids in the testing of VOR, VOR/LOC, VOR/ILS/MKR receivers and their multiple systems components, including their indicators and control heads. All of these can be tested as part of a system and most can be tested alone. A system can be operated using it's components while providing the ability, via tip jacks, metering, etc..., to monitor or check all key functions of the unit under test. The system provides for testing several different ways, including user developed tests.

The LV6 operates and aids in the testing of VOR/LOC, GS, MKR receivers systems including their indicators and control heads. All of these can be tested as part of a system and most can be tested alone. A system can be operated using it's components while providing the ability, via tip jacks, metering, etc..., to monitor or check all key functions of the unit under test. The system provides for testing several different ways, including user developed tests. Parallel frequency control is accomplished using LinAire LVC control heads. Serial frequency and function control is accomplished using adapter plates that mount in the LVC control head location. This gives the option of using system controls or to use the system controller as well as monitor the operation of the controller using the many LV6 test jacks. Course Selectors may be connected to the panel by several different methods: rear cabinet connector, front connector or via panel tip jacks. Compass and bearing signals from an external source are connected via a rear mounted connector and are switched by the LV6 controls.

The panel has a connector for the utilization of LA series NAV and NAV/ COM harnesses allowing panel mounted NAV receivers to be serviced at the Nav Bench. (Audio and Power connections ONLY.) LinAire has a full line of new panel mounted Nav, Nav/Com harness (LV 6100 series and LVI) that take advantage of all the test and monitoring facilities of the LV6.

The following list the panel functions and controls:
