(7) After the PDL indicates that the disk upload was successful, repeat step (6) for
multiple disks, if necessary.
(8) Wait at least 20 seconds after the last disk has finished uploading. Then turn off the
PDL, remove power from the TCAS 3000 Computer Unit, and disconnect the
interface cable.
(9) Apply power to the TCAS 3000 Computer Unit and ensure the TCAS system is fully
operational. Push the PUSH TO TEST button located on the front panel. The green
LED indicator on the front of the panel lights at the end of the test cycle
(approximately 8 seconds) to show the TCAS system is functional.
C. Compact Flash Card − (While Installed on Aircraft)
(1) Procedure For Uploading OPS SW Through Compact Flash Card
(a) Obtain the operational software.
(b) Verify that the aircraft is “on the ground” prior to performing an upload. The OPS
SW cannot be uploaded while the aircraft is airborne.
(c) Apply power to the TCAS 3000 computer unit.
(d) Open the CF card protective door located on the left side. (See Figure 5−2)
(e) Insert the CF card with the label facing the TCAS 3000 Computer unit front panel
LEDs. (See Figure 5−2)
(f) All LEDs will illuminate, which indicates TCAS 3000 Computer unit restart.
(g) All LEDs will extinguish and the XFER IN PROCESS LED will start to blink. The
blinking XFER IN PROCESS LED indicates that the unit is reading the CF card.
(h) The XFER IN PROCESS LED will indicate continuous green. The continuous
XFER IN PROCESS LED indicates that the unit is loading the contents of the CF
card. The loading process takes over one minute.
(i) Step NO TAGNO TAG(f), step NO TAGNO TAG(g), and step NO TAGNO TAG(h)
may repeat if the DL or FPGA files on the CF card are different than those
previously loaded on the TCAS 3000 Computer unit. If the files are not changed,
step NO TAGNO TAG(f), step NO TAGNO TAG(g), and
step NO TAGNO TAG(h) only occur once.
(j) When the upload is successful, the CF Load Status LED changes to a
continuous green indication.
(k) An unsuccessful upload is indicated by amber LEDs displayed during the upload
process. The LED correlations are listed in Table 5−4.
(l) Once the upload is successful, remove the CF card from the TCAS 3000
Computer unit front panel. (See Figure 5−3)
