- 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.

RBP-1H
RA Data Word 270 Bit 18 Discrete Output
This discrete output provides RA information to the ARINC 573 flight recorder. The
output goes to the “ground” state each time its associated bit within the advisory
field of the RA output words changes from a “zero” condition to a “one” condition.
The output remains in the “ground” state for as long as the associated RA bit
remains non-zero. This output is read by the flight recorder as either a series or
shunt output.
NOTE: The discrete is pulled up to +28 V dc in the “open” state.
