Detailed Operation

Noise Monitor

The Noise Monitor feature is a function of the WX500. For details about using this feature refer to the WX500
owner’s documents.
The Noise Monitor displays reports of electrical noise, whether they are from lightning or other noise sources
within the range of the system. This function is used to help determine if electrical noise is present that may
affect normal system operation.

Strike Test

The Strike Test feature is a function of the WX500. For details about using this feature refer to the WX500
owner’s documents.
The Strike Test feature is used by installers to verify proper operation of the WX500. Test strikes are sent to the
antenna. The received test strike is then visually presented on the screen.

Antenna Change Message

When an “Antenna Change” message is shown, the lightning sensor may have failed. When this message is
displayed, the sensor is automatically shut down for the remainder of the flight. The installation should be
inspected before the lightning function is used again.
