E. Gables ATC/TCAS Dual Mode S Transponder Control Panel
The Gables ATC/TCAS Mode S control panel is used to independently control two Mode
S transponders, and to interface with a Mode S installation with TCAS capabilities.
The control panel contains two isolated electronic modules each dedicated to a given
transponder. Each module derives its input ATC code data from two dual concentric
knobs. The selected code is then displayed on a four digit Liquid Crystal Display (LCD),
and subsequently transmitted to each transponder.
Figure 1-- 12 shows a typical front panel layout of a Gables G7130 series control panel.
Table 1--8 gives items and specifications that are particular to these units.
