TRT800H Installation and Operation 2 INSTALLATION 2.1 Note The following suggestions should be considered before installing. The installer will supply wiring. For diagrams refer to chapter 4 WIRING. Transponder, AC address adaptor, all cables and antennas should be installed as per “FAA Advisory Circular AC43.13-2A Methods and Guidelines” and the appropriate manufacturer’s instructions. 2.2 Unpacking and Inspecting of the Equipment Carefully unpack the equipment and inspect for transport damages.
TRT800H Installation and Operation 2.3 Mounting • For mounting details/drawing refer to chapter 5 DRAWINGS. • In cooperation with a maintenance shop, location and kind of the installation are specified. The maintenance shop can supply all cables. Suitable sets of cables are available from Filser Electronic GmbH. • Select a position away from heat sources. Care for adequate convection cooling. • Leave sufficient space for the installation of cables and connectors.
TRT800H Installation and Operation 2.4 Equipment Connections 2.4.1 Electrical Connections The 15 pin D-SUB connector includes all electrical connections, except the antenna line, which is connected by a TNC jack. Use only an AC Address Adaptor TRT800EM or ZTRT800EMSS for they include an EEPROM with the memorized ICAO Aircraft code. The TRT800 has to be protected by an external slow-blow fuse of 2 amperes. 2.4.
TRT800H Installation and Operation 2.4.4 Mutual Suppression Other equipment on board (e. g. DME or TACAN) may transmit in the same frequency band as the transponder. Mutual suppression is a synchronous pulse that is sent to the other equipment to suppress transmission of a competing transmitter for the duration of the pulse train transmission. The transponder transmission may be suppressed by an external source and vice versa.
TRT800H Installation and Operation • Keep away three feet from the ADF sense antenna or any other communication antenna and six feet from the DME antenna. • Pursue mounting in vertical position under the belly 2.5.3 Antenna Wiring • • • • Refer to 1.10 Accessories for suitable antenna cables. Keep wiring as short as possible. Avoid sharp bends. Avoid cable running near RF generating sources (generators, trim motors, ignition coil or battery charger).
TRT800H Installation and Operation 3 SETTINGS 3.1 Overview The TRT800 has the contingency of storing the following information (For model differences refer to 1.3 Survey of Variants.): • error logging • one entry/eight entries for o ICAO 24-Bit Aircraft Address (AA) o Aircraft Category identification code (AC) o Flight Identification (FID) o ground switch availability o interface configuration AA, AC and FID are stored in a memory device inside the housing of the D-SUB connector (included in delivery).

TRT800H Installation and Operation 3.1.6 RS232 Interface For model differences refer to 1.3 Survey of Variants. With the additionally available address adaptor ZTRT800EMSS the RS232 interface can be connected to a datalink processor (COMM-A/B) or to a GPS system. • COMM-A/B-usage: o COMM-A e. g. to receive the Traffic Information Service (TIS) o COMM-B to transmit a ground- or an air-initiated message or to transmit an addressed air-initiated message to a specified ground station.
TRT800H Installation and Operation 3.2 Configuration Programming of the ICAOA 24-bit Aircraft Address and of the Aircraft Category shall be executed by qualified personnel only! A wrong Aircraft Address or Flight ID may cause serious problems with ACAS or ATC systems! Pilot and owner are responsible for correctly set transponder data, which shall be checked prior to every flight.
