- 7. Downloading Information from the TP3PCAS Using a CF Card
- 1. Obtain a New or Blank Compact Flash (CF) card.
- 2. Copy to the New or Blank CF card the appropriate ‘Header File’
- a) Header files are files copied to the New or Blank CF card that will instruct the computer unit what is desired to be downloaded.
- b) Header files needed to download Maintenance Data, Event Data and CRC Part Numbers can be obtained from ACSS Customer Services at +1-623-445-7070 or crc.acss@l-3com.com.
- 3. For downloading Maintenance Data, Event Data or CRC Part Numbers the aircraft does not need to be in an on-ground configuration.
- 4. Apply power to the computer unit.
- 5. Insert the CF card.
- 6. For ACSS part numbers 9005000-10000, -10101, -10202, and -10204 the DATA STATUS LED will UblinkU green once; this indicates the unit recognized that a CF card was inserted.
- 7. For ACSS part numbers 9005000-11203, -11801 and -55801 the DATA STATUS LED will UblinkU green while reading the header file and performing the action defined in the header file.
- 8. Flight Data Recording
- 1. T3CAS part numbers 9005000-10000, -10101, -10202, and -10204 only support FAT16 CF card formatting. T3CAS part numbers 9005000-11203, -11801 and -55801 support both FAT16 and FAT32 CF card formatting.
- B. Flight Data
- 1. Obtain a New or Blank CF Card.
- 2. Copy to the New or Blank CF Card the Appropriate Header File.
- 3. Header files are files copied to the New or Blank CF card that will instruct the computer unit what is desired to be downloaded.

SYSTEM DESCRIPTION AND INSTALLATION MANUAL
T
3
CAS/Part No.9005000
● If the T
3
CAS unit has the windshear function enabled, the following aural
annunciation will occur:
“TERRAIN AWARENESS AND WINDSHEAR TEST START”
● If the T
3
CAS unit does not have the windshear function enabled, the
following aural annunciation will occur:
“TERRAIN AWARENESS TEST START”
During the Standard Self-Test, the following will occur:
All discrete outputs implemented within a specific aircraft installation will
be tested for over current and output voltage levels by activating the
output for 4.0 seconds (±100 milliseconds), then deactivating the output
for 2.0 seconds (±100 milliseconds), and then reactivating the output for
approximately 4.0 seconds. Any faults found will be recorded in the
T
3
CAS unit’s nonvolatile memory.
The T
3
CAS unit will verify the following functional areas in accordance with
Figure 1-36.
● Airplane Personality Module (APM not applicable for part numbers 9005000-
10000, -10101, -10202, -10204, or -11203)
● Terrain Database CRC
● External System Inputs
The T
3
CAS unit will display a multicolor test pattern on both the captain’s and first
officer’s TAWS displays. Figure 1-37 shows a typical multicolor test pattern.
The T
3
CAS unit will interrupt the Standard Self-Test with a “SELF TEST
ABORTED” annunciated when any of the following alerts occur:
● “WINDSHEAR, WINDSHEAR, WINDSHEAR”
● “TERRAIN AHEAD, PULL UP”
● “TERRAIN TERRAIN, PULL UP PULL UP”
● “[[ PULL UP”
● “TERRAIN AHEAD”
● “TERRAIN CAUTION”
● “AVOID TERRAIN”
● “PULL UP, PULL UP”
● “TERRAIN, TERRAIN”
● “SINK RATE, SINK RATE”
● “DON’T SINK, DON’T SINK”
● “TOO LOW, TERRAIN”
● “TOO LOW, GEAR”
