CAS/Part No.9005000
NOTES:
1.
If the transponder detects either all 1’s or all 0’s, the following message
will appear -ILLEGAL ADDRESS-. In addition, a fail message will appear
on the front of the transponder and on Extended Test. The message reads
CHECK DISCRETE ADDR WIRING ON XPDR PINS MP1A THROUGH
MP3D.
2.
The S/W PN information, line 8 of the display screen, displays general text
supplied by the ACSS ATDL transponder via label 356 (block transfer),
which is equipped to supply the text to the display. If a transponder is
installed that does not have this feature, line 8 is blank.
(f) Programming Pins Status Pages
The following three displays indicate the status of various option
programming pins located in the rear connector of the T
3
CAS computer.
The 1’s and 0’s following a programming option indicate the GROUND or
OPEN status for those programming pins. Each 1 and 0 is associated
with a program pin. A one (1) indicates the pin is grounded by connecting
to a program common pin on the T
3
CAS connector or to an aircraft
ground. A zero (0) indicates the pin is left open.
Selection of code 0004 displays the first of three pages that define
program pin status. See Figure 6-6.
Figure 6-6: Typical Program Pins 1/4 Page
Where more than one program pin is indicated, the listed connector pins
correspond to the display digits read from left to right. A one (1) indicates
the associated pin is grounded. A zero (0) indicates open.
