- 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.

Functional Description
J1/J2-21
LAMP TEST INPUT: (J1/J2-21)
To initiate a lamp test, J1 or J2 pin 21 must be grounded through an external
switch. All segments and annunciators in the control panel LCD (except RPLY and
decimal points) are ON for as long as this input is grounded. ARINC 429 labels are
not affected by the activation of a lamp test mode.
J1/J2-22, 23
ARINC 429 OUTPUTS: (J1/J2-22, 23)
Communication between the control panel and the transponder is done over a two
wire low-speed, odd parity, ARINC 429 compatible bus. Selected ATC code,
operating mode, and system parameters are communicated to the transponder
over these lines. Transmission of labels 013, 015, 016, and 031 is done every 150
msec.
Connect these pins to one of the two transponder ARINC 429 CONTROL DATA
Input Ports.
J1/J2-24
AIR/GROUND INPUT DISCRETE: (J1/J2-24)
The control panel accepts input from two independent Air/Ground (WOW) switches
for applications that require automatic disabling of the transponder upon landing.
This input is wired directly to the AIR/GROUND SW Discrete Output (J1/J2-15).

Functional Description
J1-1
VERTICAL SPEED +dc REFERENCE INPUT:
Pins 1, 2, and 3 are inputs to the VSI/TRA from an ARINC 575 air data computer
indicating vertical speed. Pin 1 is a +12 V dc regulated reference voltage from the
ADC. Pin 3 is a -12 V dc regulated reference voltage from the ADC. Pin 2 receives
a +10 to -10 V dc rate signal from the ADC. Also see pins 31, 32, and 33.
J1-2
VERTICAL SPEED dc RATE INPUT:
See pin 1.
J1-3
VERTICAL SPEED -dc REFERENCE INPUT:
See pin 1.
