1.4. COMPONENT DESCRIPTIONS.
The Traffic Surveillance System fully integrates with an airplane transponder and TCAS control system. The Traffic Surveillance
System includes the Line Replaceable Units (LRU) that follow:
• One TSS-4100 Traffic Surveillance System LRU
• TSSA-4100 Traffic Surveillance System Application (TSSA) software
• One ECU-3000 External Compensation Unit (ECU)
• One upper TSA-4100 Traffic Surveillance Antenna (TSA)
• One lower TRE-930 L-Band Omnidirectional TCAS Antenna (TRE)
• One TSM-4100 Traffic Surveillance Mount (TSM) with monitored cooling fan
•OneAirTraffic Control (ATC) Mode-S Transponder (TDR)
• Two ANT-42 L-Band Transponder Omnidirectional Antennas (ANT)
• A transponder/TCAS control unit
•Atrafficdisplay
• An aural alert system.
The LRU overviews below describe each unit in the Traffic Surveillance System.
1.4.1. T
SS-4100 Traffic Surveillance System.
The TSS-4100 is the main component of the Traffic Surveillance System. The TSS-4100 operates on 28-V dc. It contains all circuits
necessary for computing, transmitting, and receiving functions of the Traffic Survei llance System and interfacing with a stand-alone
transponder, other aircraft sensors (for example, Air Data Computer (ADC), Inertial Reference System (IRS), Global Positioning
System (GPS), etc.), antennas, controls, and displays.
1.4.1.1. The TSSA-4100 Traffic Surveillance System Application is necessary software for the TSS-4100. The TSSA-4100 files
are field loadable.
1.4.2. E
CU-3000 External Compensation Unit.
The ECU is used to hold all of the aircraft and unit configuration data necessary for the TSS-4100 to operate properly. This simplifies
the wiring for the Traffic Surveillance System. For example, instead of program pins for the Mode S address, maximum aircraft
altitude, and bus speeds that must be wired and tested for every aircraft, a simple file is dataloaded through the TSS and stored in
the ECU.
1.4.3. T
DR-94D ATC/Mode S Transponder.
The TDR-94D Duplex ATC/Mode S Transponder operates on 28-V dc. The TDR-94D has the capability of operating w ith Mode S
interrogators. The Mode S capability permits s endin g and receiving messages v ia th e interrogation/reply data link.
1.4.4. T
SA-4100 Directional Antenna.
The T SA-4100 directional antenna is the top antenna for th e TSS . It is also optionally used as the lower antenna for the TSS. It has
four passive antenn a elements for directionality and is m ounted on the outside of the aircraft fuselage.
1.4.5. T
RE-930 Omnidirectional Antenna.
The TRE-930 omnidirectional antenna is an optional lower antenna for the TSS.
1.4.6. A
NT-42 Omnidirectional Antenna.
Two ANT-42 omnidirectional antennas, one upper and one lower antenna, connect to the TDR-94D mode S transponder.
1.4.7. T
SM-4100 Traffic Surveillance Mount.
The TSM-4100, or Traffic Surveillance Mount, is a s tandard 4 Modular Concept Unit (MCU) mount with a fan that can be controlled
and monitored.
