Two remote light sensors (RLSs) are on the top forward part of the glareshield.
The sensors point forward. The RLSs measure ambient light with a photodiode
sensor and supply an analog signal in proportion to the ambient light.
The left RLS sends the analog signal to the left outboard display unit. The right
RLS sends an analog signal to the right outboard display unit. The display unit
sends these values to the DEU. The DEU uses this input with other manual and
automatic inputs to calculate the brightness value for all display units.
Physical Description.
Each sensor weighs less that 1/2 pound. The RLS has a field of view of 70
degrees left, 70 degrees right, 40 degrees up and 15 degrees down.

To do a check of the current status, select LSK 1L.
On the CDS BITE page, select either DEU 1 on LSK 1L or DEU 2 on LSK
2L. This shows the CDS BITE main menu for the DEU 1 or DEU 2. To do a check of the in-flight faults, select LSK 2L.
To operate a ground test, select LSK R. You can not operate a ground
test if the engines are on because there is no carrot for LSK R.
15.3.2. CURRENT STATUS If a fault goes inactive while the page shows, the message NOT ACTIVE
shows instead of the suspected LRUs.
To do a check of the current status, select CURRENT STATUS on
line select key (LSK) 1L from the CDS MAIN MENU. This shows the
CURRENT STATUS page.
The faults show in the order that the DEU detects the faults. If the DEU
detects a new fault while current faults show, the new fault page shows
as the last page.
The suspected LRUs are in the order of most likely to least likely LRUs
that made the fault occur. You should use this information with the
fault isolation manual to fix the fault.
CURRENT STATUS
The suspected LRUs are in the order of most likely to least likely LRUs
that made the fault occur. You should use this information with the
fault isolation manual to fix the fault.
The flight number is the flight number that the pilot put in the FMC
CDU for that flight.
The time of the fault is when the fault occurred. If the fault was
intermittent in the flight Leg, the time is the first time the fault
occurred.
INFLIGHT FAULTS
You can bulk erase all of the in-flight faults from the INFLIGHT FAULTS
leg menu page. Select INFLIGHT FAULTS on line select key (LSK) 2L
from the CDS MAIN MENU. This shows the INFLIGHT FAULTS Leg Menu
page. Then select LSK 6R, BULK ERASE.
To operate a ground test, select line select key (LSK) 3L, GROUND TESTS

The SELF TEST MENU page does not show test data during the self test.
The SELF TEST MENU page shows test data when the test is complete.
The test takes approximately 75 seconds. The test can take up to 180
seconds because if the test fails the first time, the DEU internally runs
the test a second time before it reports a fault.

TEST from the GROUND TEST MENU PAGE. This shows the DU OPTICAL
TEST MENU page.
- RED,
- BLUE,
- GREEN,
- STRIPE.
To do the RED test, select LSK 1L. This makes all the DUs show red lines.
From the bottom of the display, each line shows less color intensity. The
pattern repeats until you get to the top of the display.
All the DUs should Look the same. A DU with a weak backlight driver
looks different than the other DUs.
The BLUE and GREEN tests are similar to the RED test.
Do the STRIPE test the same as the RED test. For the STRIPE test,
the DUs show diagonal white and black stripes. This test lets you see
line defects easily. The line defects may not be as easy to see on a solid
display.
DU OPTICAL TEST
To do the weather radar interface test, select line select key (LSK) 4L,
WXR INTERFACE TEST from the GROUND TEST MENU PAGE.
This shows the WXR INTERFACE TEST page.
You do this test to verify the weather radar ARINC 453 interface to the
DEUs.
Select LSK 6R, RUN TEST. This causes the GG CCA A in the DEU to
transmit data to the left inboard DU and GG CCA B to transmit data to
the right inboard DU. Verify the weather radar test pattern still shows
on both DUs.
If one of the weather radar test patterns does not show when you do
the test, the ARINC 453 interface to the GG CCA is bad.
