Which device processes the signals to drive the indicator in the ADF system?

• A. Control Converter (CSC)
• B. IAC
• C. MC 1
• D. A-395

Answer: (A)

In an ADF system, the indicator must be driven by a signal that has been conditioned and converted from the receiver’s output. The Control Converter is designed to take the ADF receiver’s bearing information, adjust and scale it, and generate the drive signal that moves the indicator. This processing step directly translates the received bearing into the visual indication you see on the cockpit instrument, keeping the readout accurate and stable. The other devices listed are associated with different functions or parts of the system and do not provide the specific conversion and drive signal to the indicator.
