TACAN Test Sets ATC-1400A-2 and T-1401-2

TACAN Test Sets ATC-1400A-2 and T-1401-2, REFURBISHED

The AN/ARM-135 Intermediate TACAN Test Set requires both the ACT-1400A-2 and the T-1401-2 to

perform intermediate testing and repair of the TACAN receiver-transmitter and the TACAN Analog-to-

Digital Adapter.

The Viavi / Aeroflex ATC-1400A-2 is a Transponder/DME microprocessor based bench tester developed

for comprehensive testing and troubleshooting of ATC (Air Traffic Control) / Transponder equipment and

DME (Distance Measuring Equipment). The ATC-1400A can be operated either manually using the

front panel controls and switches, or remotely by ATE control utilizing the GPIB interface.

The Aeroflex / IFR T-1401-2 avionics test equipment provides a full range of TACAN bearing and DME

simulation required to test and service air-to-air and ground-to-air airborne equipment in both normal and

inverse modes. The control settings on the T-1401-2 front panel determine the mode of operation.

Selecting Ground-to-Air (G/A) Mode enables the Identification and Equalizer pulse pairs. The ATC-

1400A-2 also sends mode information when connected to the T-1401-2 through the Aeroflex Bus. ATC-

1400A-2 mode information includes Identification On/Off, Equalizer On/Off, X/Y Mode and P1 and P2

pulse spacing.

Refurbished equipment only; vendor must validate serviceability and deliver product calibrated.
