- 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.

CAS/Part No.9005000
(f) Primer Cure
Allow the primer to air dry for a minimum of one hour and a maximum of
4 hours before applying the top coat.
(g) Paint
1 Mix paint in a base (coating) to catalyst ratio of 6:1 under slow
agitation.
NOTE:
The percentage of reducer used can vary to meet the
applicable color standard.
2 Spray one light tack coat and allow to dry 15 minutes.
● Viscosity -20 to 22 seconds No.2 Zahn test
● Gun orifice – 363-A needle or equivalent
● Fluid pressure – 5 to 10 PSI recommended
● Air pressure – 50 PSI recommended
3 Apply final top coat – total wet film thickness of 3.5 to 4.0 mils.
(h) Drying Cycle
The antenna must air dry overnight or be baked at 85 degrees Celsius
(185 degrees Fahrenheit) for 30 minutes minimum before flying. Remove
the adhesive dots from the heads of the Torx screws.
NOTE:
The TCAS directional antennas, P/N 7514081-9xx and
7415060-9xx, are sealed units. As such, they are not
repairable. The testing process for an antenna is as follows:
1 ACSS first performs a preliminary test on the unit.
2 A sanding process to remove the paint from the antenna is
performed.
3 The unpainted antenna is inspected for cracks.
4 The antenna is sent to a vendor for painting.
5 The painted antenna is tested a second time.
If the unit fails steps 1, 3, or 5, the unit is declared non-repairable. The
operator is then given the option of exchanging the antenna for another
unit or having the unit scrapped by ACSS.
(3) Performance Verification Testing
Perform a ramp test per approved aircraft maintenance procedure on the T
3
CAS
system to ensure the bearing accuracy is within specification after the coating
application.
B. Other T
3
CAS System LRUs
Except for minor touch up, painting should only be done after the LRU has been removed
from the aircraft or during shop maintenance.
