SYSTEM DESCRIPTION AND INSTALLATION MANUAL
T

CAS/Part No.9005000
(c) Glideslope Cancel Indicator
The Glideslope Cancel Indicator output discrete is activated when the
T
3
CAS detects the Glideslope Cancel input discrete is active AND the
aircraft is at a low altitude (below 2000 feet (609.6 meters) radio altitude).
(d) TAWS Caution Alert
Used to activate the TAWS Caution Alert lamp.
(e) TAWS Warning
Used to activate the TAWS Warning Alert lamp.
(f) Terrain Mode Display #1 Terrain Mode Display #2
The Terrain Display Switch output discretes are used to activate external
relays that make the switch between Weather and Terrain. When the
relay is activated (IO_TERRAIN_DISPLAY_SWITCH_# is Active),
Terrain is displayed. When the relay is de-activated
(IO_TERRAIN_DISPLAY_SWITCH_# is Not Active), Weather is
displayed.
This output discrete can be activated/de-activated by one of two
methods: Pilot-selection by the way of a control panel pushbutton, or as
a result of the auto pop-up feature. In the event that the TAWS function
generates an alert, terrain is automatically selected for display.
(g) Winshear Caution Alert
Used to activate the Windshear Caution Alert lamp.
(h) Winshear Warning Alert
Used to activate the Windshear Warning Alert lamp.
(2) Ground Discrete Monitor Parameters
This section describes the T
3
CAS TAWS/RWS ground discrete monitor outputs.
The ground discrete monitor outputs are used to signal failure conditions and are
activated (grounded) when power is cycled on the LRU.
(a) GCAM Fail Indicator
Used to activate the GCAM Fail lamp.
(b) GCAM Inop Indicator
Used to activate the GCAM Inop lamp.
(c) GPWS Fail Indicator
Used to activate the GPWS Fail lamp.
(d) GPWS Inop Indicator
Used to activate the GPWS Inop lamp.
