Apollo MX20 Installation Manual

2.7.3 EXTERNAL DATA SOURCE FOR THE MX20 I/O

The MX20 I/O allocates fixed data source ports for interface to the radar, TAWS, and traffic sensors.

Software configuration is not required for Skywatch, GTX330, or TCAD traffic sensors. The I/O

version of the MX20 adds traffic and radar functionality. These data sources are configured in a

similar manner as the basic MX20 external sensors. Note that only one traffic source may be

connected to the MX20 I/O at one time.

2.7.3.1 R

YAN TCAD SOURCE

Select the RS-232 port 1-4 where the TCAD unit is connected.

2.7.3.2 S

KYWATCH

Select the configuration which matches the physical installation. The two model options are SKY497 and

SKY899. Additionally, if the MX20 is not wired to drive the discrete inputs (when an additional display such

as the WX1000 is being used), select the + DISP option. If the MX20 is wired to drive the Skywatch discrete

inputs, select just the basic SKY model without the + DISP option. Using the +DISP option indicates that an

external display is responsible for driving the discrete inputs and the corresponding MX20 controls will be

disabled on the MX20 Traffic page.

2.7.3.3 R

ADAR

Select the model of the Radar connected. Currently the ART-2000 and the RS-181A are supported. The

ART-2100 is supported if it is configured as an ART-2000.

2.7.3.4 TAWS

Select the model of the TAWS sensor connected in the system. Currently only the L-3 (Goodrich) Landmark

TAWS 8000 and KGP560 are supported. Select TAWS8000 for the Landmark 8000 and EGPWS for the

KGP560.
