The ENHANCEMENTS line (line 6) displays the status of the Flight Data
Recorder ARINC 429 and Extended Maintenance Log Program input status (Pin
RMP--11D). This option enables the use of the Flight Data Recorder and the
down loading of the extended maintenance log through a PDL connected to
connector J1 located on the front of the TCAS computer. If pin RMP--11D is
open, the Flight Data Recorder is not used and normal RA display bus operation
occurs. If pin RMP--11D is grounded, high speed ARINC 429 flight data is output
on the RA Display #1 and #2 buses and maintenance log data can be
downloaded through a portable data loader.
NOTE: The three options that follow have been defined, but the functions have
not been implemented in --XX001 and --XX002 TCAS computer
software. These options should always indicate OFF in these versions.
The three options are activated with --XX003 and --XX004 TCAS
computer software.
The MALE VOICE line (line 7) displays the Male Voice Program input status (Pin
RMP--11C). This option allows audio annunciation to be selectable for either
male or female gender. If pin RMP--11C is grounded, the male voice option is
enabled (ON). If pin RMP --11C is open, the female voice option is enabled
(OFF).
The DISPLAY FLT ID line (line 8) displays the Flight ID Program input status (Pin
RMP--11B). This program allows flight identification from the transponder to be
output on traffic display buses. If pin RMP--11B is grounded, Flight ID Display is
enabled (ON). If pin RMP --11B is open, Flight ID Display is disabled (OFF).
The ALTITUDE ALERTER line (line 9) displays the Altitude Alerter Program input
status (Pin RMP --11A). This program prevents the weakening of an RA based
on selected altitude. If pin RMP--11A is grounded, the Altitude Alerter option is
enabled (ON). If pin RMP --11A is open, the Altitude Alerter option is disabled
(OFF).
(2) TAWS/RWS Test Menu and System Status Pages
The extended test mode provides maintenance information on the TAWS
EFIS/Weather Radar display. Pages are indexed by pressing and holding the
TAWS/RWS/GPS TEST button/switch on the Flight Deck for three seconds or less.
The extended test mode is accessible only on the ground, and only after the
standard short test has completed as outlined in section 3.B.2 of this (Fault Isolation)
section.
NOTE: The Extended Self --Test pages can be exited at any time by pressing the
TAWS/RWS/GPS TEST button/switch for more than three seconds.
