GENERAL INFORMATION
1.1. INTRODUCTION
1.1.1. GENERAL. This manual contains the description, operation and
maintenance of the TS200 Ultrasonic Test Set manufactured by Dukane Cor-
poration, Seacom Division, 2900 Dukane Drive, St. Charles, Illinois 60174.
See Figure 1.
1.1.2. SYMBOLS AND ABBREVIATIONS. All symbols and abbrevia-
tions used in this manual are in accordance with the ANSI Y14.15 and
MIL-STD-12, respectively.
1.2. GENERAL DESCRIPTION
1.2.1 FUNCTION. The TS200 is a battery operated heterodyne type
receiver that operates at an ultrasonic frequency of 37.5 kHz. The test set
was designed primarily as a self-contained, hand-held functional tester for
testing underwater acoustic beacons. Utilizing the internal microphone and
loudspeaker, the Test Set can perform an operational test on Dukane Corpo-
ration DK Series beacons without removing the beacon from its mount on
the aircraft. The test set can also be used to perform a voltage measure-
ment to test the battery in a Dukane underwater beacon.
1.2.2. SPECIFICATIONS. The specifications for the TS200 are given in
Table 1.

OPERATION
2.1. OPERATION
A. Turn the test set ON using the small slide switch located on the left side
of the housing.
B. If the display reads LB the TS200 battery voltage has fallen below the
level required for operation of the test set and the 9-Volt battery should
be replaced. See Maintenance Section 3.2
C. Testing Beacon Voltage. Attach the test probe clip to the pinger case.
See Figure 2. The clip has a spring action that will allow it to slip over
the housing on the beacon. Place the tip of the probe in contact with the
silver pad on the white dome at the end of the beacon. The display will
show the battery voltage of the beacon. Refer to the appropriate beacon
manual for the acceptable range of the beacon battery voltage.
D. Operational Test. Place the probes on the beacon as described above
and press the red button on the TS200 (the test set display will be blank
during this operation). The beacon should activate and a pinging sound
will be audible from the TS200. Please note that high levels of back-
ground noise can interfere with this test. If difficulty is experienced in
hearing the beacon the operator should repeat the test in a quieter area.

SECTION III
MAINTENANCE
3.1. BATTERY LIFE
3.1.1 Thetestset batteryshould bereplacedwhen itsload voltagehasdropped
to 7 volts or the display reads LB when the test set is turned on.
3.2. BATTERY REPLACEMENT
3.2.1 Any 9-volt battery may be used, but longer service will be obtained by
the use of premium batteries such as NEDA Type 1604A. The battery is ac-
cessible in the Test Set by removing the battery access door on the bottom rear
of the case and dropping out the old battery. A snap type connector facilitates
change of battery and prevents reversal of polarity, but as an additional pre-
caution, always turn the test set off before making the battery change.
3.3. TEST SET CALIBRATION
3.3.1 The TS200 Test Set is calibrated at the factory during manufacture.
Under normal operating conditions the test set will not require calibration for
a period of one year. The calibration due date is shown on the back of the test
set.
3.3.2 For calibration procedures please contact Dukane Corporation or
refer to the calibration procedures in the CT200 manual.
