- 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.

- 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

CAS/Part No.9005000
NOTES:
1. Fault detection with diagnostics can only be done on the ground. The
pilot has the option to do a pass/fail test while airborne if this feature is
not inhibited.
2. This procedure is valid when used with either a single or dual control
panel.
(a) Make sure the aircraft configuration indicates Aircraft On Ground and
Gear Extended.
(b) Set the Mode Select switch on the ATC/TCAS control panel to STBY.
(c) Set ATC/TCAS control panel to ALTITUDE REPORTING ON.
(d) Push and hold the TCAS TEST button for a minimum of 9 seconds.
(e) Set the transponder 4096 Ident Code Number to any code except 0000
thru 0007, 0011, or 0012.
NOTE:
Do not use codes 7500, 7600 or 7700, these codes are reserved for
emergency operation.
(f) Make sure the TCAS TEST MENU is being displayed on the TCAS
display. It should match the screen shown in Figure 6-1.
NOTE:
Not all TCAS displays support this extended test mode.
(g) Set the transponder 4096 Ident Code Number to 1000.
(h) If the system passes, a maintenance page similar to that shown on
Figure 6-2 is displayed. A failure results in a referral to one or more
specific ident codes. Set the indicated code on the ATC/TCAS Control
Panel and follow the instructions given.
(i) If the system passes, set the mode switch on the ATC/TCAS Control
Panel out of STBY. This allows you to exit the extended test mode.
(j) If a failure is indicated, set the transponder 4096 Ident Code to the codes
indicated by the automatic referral system. The remaining screens
shown in Figure 6-3 thru Figure 6-14 are examples of the other
maintenance pages.
(k) Set system power to OFF and correct faults by replacing indicated LRUs
or by repairing any faulty wiring harness.
(l) Test system as required after repair.
(2) TAWS/RWS
The T

CAS TAWS/RWS system provides two fault isolation modes: Extended
Self-Test and Maintenance Report. Both test modes can be activated by the
TAWS/RWS TEST button/switch on the flight deck, when enabled.
The extended self-test offers the first level of diagnostics by providing aural
annunciation of the active external faults. The extended self-test however does
