1.3.2 Remote Mount Lynx NGT-9000R
The remote mount NGT-9000R includes a Detachable Configuration Module (DCM). The unit is
equipped with a main sub-D connector (J1) and RF connectors. A USB port is available to establish
communication between the unit and a maintenance computer for installation and maintenance activities.
A mounting tray is required for installation. Additional third party components are necessary to complete
the installation. Refer to paragraph 1.5 for component requirements and installation considerations.
Details on these components are provided in paragraph 1.11.
The remote mount NGT-9000R provides the same functionality as the panel mount in regards to the
available outputs for display of traffic and weather data, but is controlled using a Control Panel.
The CP-2500 Control Panel transmits and receives information via RS-232. Refer to Appendix A for details.
Release 3.2 or later. An ARINC 429 interface is available to transmit and receive information to a
compatible Control Panel (such as the RMS-555). In addition, the ARINC 429 interface can be
configured for dual Control Panels (used one at a time). Note - that this A429 control panel interface does
not include necessary TCAS traffic or TAWS control information. Refer to Appendix A for details.
1.3.3 Model and Feature Options
• The Diversity option is a specific model of the Lynx NGT-9000 that offers enhanced traffic
awareness receiving data via 1090MHz using the ADS-B service.
• The TAS and TCAS options have a specific model of the Lynx NGT-9000 that provides additional
traffic awareness when ADS-B equipped aircraft are not in the area providing Traffic Alert (TA)
warnings to the flight crew. See paragraph 1.2.8 for TAS functionality or 1.2.10 for TCAS
functionality.
• The Diversity and TAS and TCAS options require a function activation code that is entered using the
MPC (MAT) during installation. Models with Diversity require the installation of an additional L-
Band antenna. The TAS and TCAS options require the installation of a directional antenna. If the
TAS or TCAS option is enabled on a Lynx NGT-9000 model with Diversity (D+ or RD+), the
TAS/TCAS directional antenna is used as the diversity antenna. See paragraph 1.2.9 and 1.2.11 for
an overview of this feature.
• The ATAS, Class B TAWS, and Terrain Advisory (no audio or visual alerts) features are
configuration options that require a function activation code that is entered using the MPC (MAT)
during installation. For Release 3.2 and later, the ATAS option is always available and no longer
requires an enablement certificate. See paragraph 1.2.9 and 1.2.11 for an overview of these features.
1.3.4 Detachable Configuration Module (DCM)
The DCM part number 9230-17003-01 is part of the Lynx NGT-9000 and is used for the storage of
configuration data. The DCM is permanently installed with the wire harness and interfaces to the unit via
a 4-wire interface from the DCM.
The configuration settings are stored in the unit’s non-volatile memory and are entered via commands
sent over the maintenance interface to configure such items as input / output interface options, aircraft
specific options (including TAS, TCAS, Diversity, ATAS, and TAWS) and installation calibration
parameters.
When the configuration data is set, Lynx NGT-9000 units may be swapped and the configuration remains
with the aircraft.
