PRIMUSr 880 Digital Weather Radar System 1. Introduction R The PRIMUS 880 Digital Weather Radar System is a lightweight, X- band digital radar with alphanumerics designed for weather detection (WX) and ground mapping (GMAP). The primary purpose of the system is to detect storms along the flightpath and give the pilot a visual indication in color of their rainfall intensity and turbulence content. After proper evaluation, the pilot can chart a course to avoid these storm areas. WARNING THE SYSTEM

PRIMUSr 880 Digital Weather Radar System The radar indicator is equipped with the universal digital interface (UDI). This feature expands the use of the radar indicator to display information such as checklists, short and long range navigation displays (when used with a Honeywell DATA NAV system) and electrical discharge data from Honeywell’ s LSZ- 850 Lightning Sensor System (LSS). NOTE: Refer to Honeywell Pub. 28- 1146- 54, LSZ- 850 Lightning Sensor System Pilot’ s Handbook, for more informati

PRIMUSr 880 Digital Weather Radar System 2. System Configurations â The PRIMUS 880 Digital Weather Radar System can be operated in many configurations to display weather or ground mapping information on a radar indicator, electronic flight instrument system (EFIS) display, multifunction display (MFD), or on a combination of these displays. The various system configurations are summarized in the following paragraphs and shown in figure 2- 1. NOTE: Other configurations are possible but not illustr

PRIMUSr 880 Digital Weather Radar System The third system configuration is similar to the second except that a Honeywell multifunction display (MFD) system is added. As before, single or dual controllers can be used. When a single controller is used, all displays show the same radar data. Dual controllers are used to operate in the dual mode. The MFD can be slaved to either controller to duplicate the data displayed on the selected side. Table 2- 1is a truth table for dual control modes. Left Ri

PRIMUSr 880 Digital Weather Radar System If WX is selected before the initial RTA warmup period is over (approximately 90 seconds), the white WAIT legend is displayed in the mode field. In wait mode, the transmitter and antenna scan are inhibited and the display memory is erased. When the warmup is complete, the system automatically switches to the WX mode. The system, in preset gain, is calibrated as listed in table 4- 1. Rainfall Rate Color in/hr mm/hr .04- .16 1- 4 Green .16- .47 4- 12 Yellow
