Aeroflex Litton AN/APM-424(V)2 TS-4530 Aircraft Transponder Test

This system is used and surplus from the Australian Airforce.

Please note that although the system has an export restriction from the USA, the unit is located in Australia and available for export.

"The  test set can perform complete testing of the IFF transponder systems. The test set CPU automatically adapts test set transmitted power level and receiver sensitivity to transmit path-losses between the test set and transponder antenna. This capability enables an operator to get accurate test results from any position relative to the transponder antenna. Thus many different types of systems can be accurately tested under various conditions of operator location and distance.

The test set is powered by six C-size NiCd batteries and operated by using push buttons with test results displayed optically through the view finder. AN automatic self-test sequence is performed each time an interrogation is initiated. In the event a self-test fault occurs an “F” will be displayed in the lower right corner of the display.  A condensed operating instruction decal is affixed on the test set antenna for easy reference.

The test set complies with EM1 requirements of MIL-T-28800 as specified in SA-ALC/MNIREC-PD-39D."
