TECHNISONIC INDUSTRIES LIMITED 2.7 INSTALLATION - WIRING INSTRUCTIONS Figure 2-2(a, b, and c) show all required connections and recommended wire sizes for the TDFM9000 transceiver. The TDFM-9000 allows for either a single audio output ground or separate grounds for each audio output. If a single point ground is required for a pre-existing installation, the dongle supplied in the installation kit must be plugged into J5.
TECHNISONIC INDUSTRIES LIMITED 2.14 PTT 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, AND 4 – J1 PINS 5, 8, 11, 21, 24, AND J6 PIN 3 There are individual PTT lines for each band. These lines should be floating when in receive and grounded for transmit. The input has a pull up resistor to 5 volts. Connecting an audio panel that wishes to see more may result in no receive audio. Connect a 1N4006 diode in series with the cathode towards the audio panel in this case. 2.

TECHNISONIC INDUSTRIES LIMITED 2.21 ANTENNA SELECTION AND INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS Antenna installations will vary according to the number / type of bands installed in the TDFM9000, types of antennas selected, and space available on the aircraft. The materials list above contains many but not all antennas available. If dual band RF modules are installed in the TDFM9000, it is suggested to use a single connector, multiband antenna for each of the RF modules installed.
TECHNISONIC INDUSTRIES LIMITED RESULTS If the installed system passes all of the applicable EMI tests, then no further action is required. If interference is observed, then the interference must be assessed against the appropriate standards of airworthiness for the system in question.
TECHNISONIC INDUSTRIES LIMITED B. Determine if the image frequency for the VHF Comm falls within the range of the TDFM9000. If so, select a set of frequencies that will cause the TDFM-9000 to be set as close as possible to the image frequency. Any one of the many possible sets will suffice. Record those values in the spaces provided in the following chart. Modulate the TDFM9000 transmitter on the following frequencies for at least 20 seconds. Listen for any noise or detected audio signals on the VHF comm.
TECHNISONIC INDUSTRIES LIMITED C. Determine if the image frequency for the VOR/ILS Nav falls within the range of the TDFM9000. If so, select two sets of frequencies that will cause the TDFM-9000 to be set as close as possible to the image frequency. Choose one set in the localizer frequency range and one in the VOR frequency range. Record those values in the spaces provided in the following chart. Modulate the TDFM-9000 transmitter on the following frequencies for at least 20 seconds.
TECHNISONIC INDUSTRIES LIMITED D. The following procedure checks for second harmonic interference to the glide slope receiver from the TDFM-9000. All transceivers produce harmonics (multiples of the wanted frequency) and while the TDFM-9000 far exceeds FCC requirements, interference can still be experienced depending upon antenna position and separation.

TECHNISONIC INDUSTRIES LIMITED G. NOTE: For the following tests, select a frequency at the top, middle, and bottom of each band of the TDFM-9000 transceiver. 136 to 174 MHz Band 403 to 470 MHz Band 450 to 512 MHz Band 806 to 870 MHz Band Frequency #1 Frequency #2 Frequency #3 H. At a safe altitude, engage the autopilot or stability augmentation system. Modulate the TDFM-9000 transmitter on the above frequencies for at least 20 seconds.
