- 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.

SECONDARY ARINC 565 VERTICAL SPEED BUS INPUT: [J1-6 (HI),
J1-1 (LO)]
This two wire bus input receives ARINC 565 vertical speed data from the
cross-side display when the bootstrap mode is activated. This bus input
is connected to the R/C Bootstrap Output bus on the cross-side display
as follows:
J1-6 of the on-side display is connected to J1-14 of the cross-side
display.
J1-1 of the on-side display is connected to J1-13 of the cross-side
display.
J1-2
VERTICAL SPEED dc RATE INPUT:
Pins 2, 3 and 8 are inputs to the VSI/TRA from an ARINC 575 air data
computer indicating vertical speed. Pin 2 receives a +10 to -10 V dc
rate signal from the ADC. Pin 3 is a -12 V dc regulated reference voltage
from the ADC and pin 8 is a +12 V dc regulated reference voltage from
the ADC. Also see pins 29, 31, 32, and 33.
J1-3
VERTICAL SPEED -dc REFERENCE INPUT:
See pin 2.
