1.5     AID functionality test
1       Ensure the MBTU power is set to OFF. 
Connect the UUT AID, to the MBTU, via a standard Serial cable. 
See Figure 1 for the set-up connections. 
Set the MBTU 220 V power to ON, the 220 V LED illuminates. 
Start-up the test PC.
2       Start the ATP/RTSP âAtpAIDDESK-A380 MFCâ application, to display Figure 6.

 
Figure 6: ATP/RTSP Program

2       Press respectively each AID button in turn, within 15 seconds. The screen icon, of the 
button, changes to green. When all of the AID buttons have been pressed and the screen buttons are 
green; this indicates the test has passed. Use the mouse to select âOKâ to end the test. 
3       Check and record in the RTSR (Doc. 2) that the AID, left test, has PASSED.
1.5.2   AID Right Test
1       Use the mouse, to select the âAid Right Testâ icon, see Figure 8. 
 
Figure 8: ATP/RTSP Program
2       The display at Figure 9 appears. 
Note:-Selection of the âAid Right Testâ icon can also be done by using the keyboard arrow keys and 
then pressing the âEnterâ key.
 
Figure 9: AID Right Test
3       Press respectively each AID button in turn, within 15 seconds. The screen icon, of the 
button, changes to green. When all of the AID buttons have been pressed and the screen buttons are 
green; this indicates the test has passed. Use the mouse to select âOKâ to end the test.
4       Check and record in the RTSR (Doc. 2) that the AID, Right Test, has PASSED.
1.6     AID backlight dimming
This test checks the backlight dimming of the LEDs of the UUT AID (Left or Right).
1       Configure the function generator to produce a pulse of 5 V peak to peak, frequency 100 Hz 
and Duty cycle 100%
Note:- The 5 V pulse must be positive going from 0 VDC to + 5 VDC and the DC level must not go 
below 0 VDC.
2       Connect the function generator to the MBTU PWM IN+ & PWM IN-.
3       Check and record in the RTSR (Doc. 2) that the backlight dimming illuminates.
4       On the function generator, decrease the duty cycle towards 10% (in steps of â 10%) and 
verify that the AID backlight luminance gradually increases. Record the result in the RTSR (Doc. 2).
5       On the MBTU set the âAID LEDS TESTâ switch to ground (down). Check and record in RTSR (Doc. 
2) that the green LED on the AID illuminates.
6       On the MBTU set the âBRIGHT-DIMâ switch to ground (down). Check and record in RTSR (Doc. 2) 
that the LED on the AID stays Bright.
7       On the MBTU set the âAID LEDS TESTâ switch to open (up). Check and record in RTSR (Doc. 2) 
that the LED on the AID goes OFF.
8       Press the AID âOIS XFRâ button. Check and record in RTSR (Doc. 2) that the AID OIS XFR 
feedback LED is lit at DIM illumination.
9       On the MBTU set the âBRIGHT-DIMâ switch to the open (center) position. Check and record in 
RTSR (Doc. 2) that the OIS XFR feedback LED illuminates in Bright mode.
10      Press the AID âOIS XFRâ button again. Check and record in RTSR (Doc. 2) that the OIS XFR 
feedback LED goes OFF.
11      Power down the test PC, MBTU and test equipment. Disconnect the AID from the MBTU serial 
cable. Refit the protection cap to the UUT AID connector.
1.7     Finish inspection
1       Check for exterior damage, of the UUT AID, that might impair the operational behavior of 
the AID. 
2       Record in the remarks paragraph of the RTSR (Doc. 2) if any damage is noticed.
2       Data recording
Final RTSP Pass/fail indications shall be recorded in RTSR (Doc. 2), signed and dated by the 
technician and the QA.

UK Companies and their Employees
Carrying out contracts or working in Norway

The purpose of this newsletter is to act as a guide for those contractors operating in Norway.  Our 
aim is to set out the correct procedures to be followed by both contractors and their companies and 
the Norwegian tax treatment of those individuals.  

OVERVIEW
Contractors operating in Norway have a fairly standard arrangement where the contractor acts as a 
director and employee of their own limited company.  The company pays the director a sufficient 
basic level of salary to ensure that the director is credited with a UK national insurance credit 
each week.  The company then distributes any additional post corporation tax profits as dividends 
to the companyâs shareholders.  The general position is therefore that the contractor is working in 
Norway as a non-resident employee of an overseas based company.  As such the tax treatment of both 
the company and the contractor is defined by the need to comply with both UK and Norwegian domestic 
tax legislation and also the requirements of the double taxation treaty in place between Norway and 
the UK.
