WXR SYSTEM -CONTROL -EFIS CONTROL PANEL

EFIS Control Panel
These are the functions of the EFIS control panel for WXR control:
*
Supplies the on and off control of the WXR RTs

*
Enables the NDs to show WXR data

*
Supplies the selection of different ND modes

*
Supplies the selection of different ranges for WXR data to show on the NDs.

WXR Map Switch
When you push the WXR map switch on the EFIS control panel:
*
The WXR RT selected on the WXR panel starts to operate

*
The WXR data shows on the onside ND.

To stop the operation of the WXR RT, the WXR switches on both EFIS control panels and the WXR selections on the CDUs must be off.
ND Mode Selector
Use the mode selector switch to select an ND mode. The ND modes that show a WXR display are:
*
Expanded APP (approach) mode

*
Expanded VOR mode

*
Expanded MAP mode

*
Centered MAP mode.

If the mode selector is not in a correct mode when you push the WXR map switch, the weather display arms. When armed, the weather display shows as soon as you change the ND selector to a correct mode. The weather display stays armed even if you push the WXR map switch again.
ND Range Selector
The EFIS control panel has a six position range selector. The range selections are 10, 20, 40, 80, 160, 320 and 640 NM. With the 640 NM range selection, the 640 NM range shows on the ND, but the WXR RT only shows weather displays out to its maximum range of 320 NM.
The MAP mode shows the range at all times. The APP and VOR modes show the range only when the WXR is on.
