- 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

CAS/Part No.9005000
(b) Remove four or eight (quantity depends on dash number of antenna)
non-Torx drive screws used to attach antenna to fuselage. See Figure 2-
8 for location and number of mounting holes for each dash number
antenna.
(c) Carefully lift antenna from fuselage, avoiding any damage to the coaxial
cables.
(d) Disconnect coaxial cables from antenna connectors J1, J2, J3, and J4.
(e) Put protective covers on the aircraft coaxial cable connectors and the
antenna coax connectors.
(2) Reinstall the directional Antenna.
(a) If applicable, remove any existing aerodynamic sealant from antenna
and clean antenna mounting area.
(b) Put supplied O-ring in antenna O-ring groove. If antenna is supplied with
a Teflon gasket, install gasket between antenna and fuselage.
(c) Remove protective covers from antenna and aircraft coaxial mating
connectors.
(d) Examine antenna and coaxial mating connectors to make sure they are
clean and secure.
(e) Orient antenna with respect to airframe (arrow painted on radome must
point forward). Connect four aircraft coaxial cables to antenna. Refer to
Figure 2-8 for wiring information. Note the color bands on the antenna
connectors and cables: yellow = J1, black = J2, blue = J3, and red = J4.
NOTE:
Do not apply a sealant between antenna base and fuselage.
Application of a sealant will reduce lightning protection.
(f) Align antenna mounting holes with holes in fuselage (note the non-
symmetric hole pattern).
(g) Attach antenna to fuselage with four or eight (quantity depends on dash
number of antenna) non-Torx drive screws and flat washers. See Tables
3 and 4 of Figure 2-8 for dash number mounting information. Apply a
sealant to the screw threads before installing them. Torque mounting
screws per AMM.
(h) Apply an aerodynamic sealant around the periphery of the antenna base
to prevent seepage of water condensation and preclude corrosion.
B. Adjustment Procedure
Not applicable.
C. Repair Procedure
The ACSS TCAS Directional Antenna is a non-repairable item. If the antenna is damaged
or determined to be faulty, it must be replaced with a new antenna.
