a. To replace any worn or damaged parts found during mechanical testing refer to

Section 4.

2.2 Functional Testing. Functional testing is used to confirm the serviceability of an F3

before it is returned to the field for use and whenever doubt exists about the serviceability of

an F3. The F3 must pass all tests to be considered serviceable and ready for use in

operations. Whenever a line replaceable unit is replaced, all functional testing must be

completed.

a. Functional testing requires a ground balance test piece. The ground balance test piece

simulates mineralised ground which results in an alarm from the F3. A mineralised “hot”

rock or adequate amounts of local mineralised soil is suitable. Alternatively, a floor tile may

be suitable for use as a ground balance test piece.

NOTE

Do not use any metal object as a ground balance test piece.
