Apparently, i am the last avionics technician on the face of the earth that did not know what “Altitude Rings” are.
Here is the Honeywell training Blah Blah :
Altitude rings Its a PPT
Altitude rings Or here for a PDF.
It is a arc shaped return that results from the radar bouncing off of the top of the radome when the tilt is all the way up.
WHO KNEW?
How do you explain the difference between LAFCS-RAFCS and COUPLED LEFT, COUPLED RIGHT?
======================================================
Here is a few pointers on ENGAGE logic from a Honeywell quick troubleshooting guide (my comments in red):
SPZ-8000 Autopilot Engage Logic
What is needed to satisfy the engage mode:
Stall warning not active (2 on the 900)
TCS P/B not pushed
YD Quick-disconnect P/B not pushed
AP Quick-disconnect P/B not pushed
Go-around P/B not pushed
Manual Trim not active (Also, Emergency trrim in the pedistal on the 900)
DADC valid
AHRS valid
Ground Engage Inhibit not active (no WOW engage allowed on the 900)
Servo Power Valid
What takes place when the A/P is engaged:
The FZ-800 is allowed to control the servos.
What components are part of the engage command:
TCS P/B
YD Quick-disconnect P/B
AP Quick-disconnect P/B
Go-around P/B
Manual Trim P/B
DADC
AHRS
WOW
What is need to satisfy the disengage mode:
To have any of the engage signals change state.
What takes place when the A/P is disengaged:
The FZ-800 is not allowed to control the servos.
What components are part of the disengage command:
Same as engage.

tl:dr;
The Radio Altimeter Aux output was only operational between .4v and 3 v or so. This made the ground prox see the Radio Altitude as 348 feet at all times. This subtle failure was missed three times on the bench.
Cl 601 …A
RESOLUTION:
A loaner Rad Alt box fixed the EGPWS call out problem.
Here is the video of the EGPWS working properly
Squawk: EGPWS gives “Pull Up” “Terrain” in flight
Supporting facts about squawk:
1. Fault occurs during clmb, or first level off, AFTER 2000 to 3000 feet.
2. Associated “Pull Up” “Terrain” on ground was fixed by properly setting zero.
3. The number 1 and number 2 IRU’s have been swapped just in case the problem was IRUAlt.(??2 IRU inputs?)

With Baro reading 3000, EFIS RA reading ~2300 FT……..
RawARA1 is only 354 feet. THATS BAD.
RawIALT1 was about 2900 feet.
WHAT SHOULD THE VOLTAGE BE AT 480 feet AGL:
V = .02*h +20
=10 volts for 480 feet.
WHAT SHOULD THE VOLTAGE BE AT 2500 feet AGL:
According to DAC international Install Manual,
Volts = 10*(1+LN((ALT + 20)/500) so 2500 feet is 26.16 VDC…… correct because 480 feet works out to 10VDC, same as low formula
WRONG……..According to the RT 300 book
Volts = 10* LN((ALT + 20)/500) so 2500 feet is 11.6 VDC .. WRONG

First of all….The WIFI SSID that shows up on the face of your phone MUST BE N24FJ_WIFI. If the network shows up as LINKSYS on your Wireless on your phone>>>> Do not waste time troubleshooting the system. Any fix you implement now will soon be lost and you will be stuck in a endless circle. Order a CTR exchange and configure it correctly.

Hint s and tricks about logging into the units:
ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS ____Turn OFF_____ the wireless connection on you laptop before you attempt to connect to the WIRED connection on the ATG or CTR.
Try a connection with the wired connection.
If you have trouble hitting the units from the wired connection at the 500JT Panel:
Try setting up a laptop with a Static IP address of 192.168.1.50 for the LAN connection. This will be required if there is a problem with the ATG….beccause the ATG ____ONLY____ provides DHCP services to other devises on the network.
___DO NOT ALLOW the CTR to provide DHCP services___
REMEMBER: If you do set the laptop to STATIC IP, you will not be able to use the laptop as a normal user on the network.
After a reboot, the ATG takes 7 minutes to come up. During that time you will have no DHCP Services on the network. So a STATIC IP connection will come up fine, but a DHCP request connection will take the full 7 minutes or more…..frustrating.
