The KC 290/292 Mode Controller is included in this group. The tester is constructed around a main frame which contains the D¢ and AC signal sources, Lagps which are used to annunciate modes and special situations, and the pin outs for the KC 290/292. Figure 6-1 Shows the basic connection of the KC 290/292 to the KTS 151 Bench Tester. Portions of the tester used with the KC 290/292 are shaded in. Further information concerning the KTS 151 Flight Control System Set can be found in the KTS 151 Maintenance Manual. 6.2.3 TEST PROCEDURES USING THE KTS 151 6.2.3.1 General This section cont Section 6.4. 1s the test procedures to be used in conjunction with the troubleshooting chart in The procedures are divided into sections and are herein presented for quick access to specific tests.

The section containing the KC 290/292 unit preparation should be completed each tine a new unit is connected to the tester. ‘The remaining sections of 6.2.3 contain the procedures for testing the KC 290/292. Prior to the start of Gach procedure, all test set controls should be positioned in accordance with Section 6.2.5.2. The only exception is Test Set Power unich may be Left on if another procedure has just been completed. When these instructions are followed, any test procedure aay be run independently without concern for the order of procedures previously run. 6.2.3.2 Initial Setup Procedure a. Test Set Initialization (1) Place the Power Selector switch to the OFF position. (2) Remove the KC 290/292 test cable. ALL other cables may remain stored inside the tester. (5) Place all pushbutton controls in the Out position on the KTS 151 tester. (4) connect the 9C power supply to the KTS 151 tester input power jacks. ‘WARNING DO NOT CONNECT MORE THAN ONE UNIT TO THE KTS 151 AT ANY TIRE, Ke 2907292 Initialization (1) Connect the KE 290/292 to the test panel. fe.
