1.3.3 Display (Alternate or WX-1000/SKY497 Display P/N 78-8060-5900-x)
The display used is installation dependent. If installing to meet the requirements for a TCAS I installation
an alternate display device (i.e., EFIS, MFD, IVSI, weather radar indicator) approved for displaying TCAS
I information is required. If installing to meet requirements for a TAS installation an alternate display
device, the WX-1000/SKY497 display, or both can be used as primary means for displaying traffic
information.
When interfaced to both displays (alternate display and WX-1000/SKY497 display),
display functions can
be linked together or separate depending on the capabilities of the alternate display. When installed with
an alternate display device only, the service menu cannot be accessed via the display, therefore a terminal
device (i.e., laptop) is required for system setup and post-installation checkout (see appendix F). If both
displays are connected the service menu can be accessed by the WX-1000/SKY497 display only.
The SKY899 is designed to transmit traffic information to the alternate display device via our ARINC-429
bus interface (100 kHz fixed speed). Refer to display manufacturer instructions for installation details.
WX-1000/SKY497 Display P/N 78-8060-5900-x. To operate with SKYWATCH HP, existing WX-1000
displays must conform to TSO-C113. If the equipment tag on the back of the unit (see figure 1-7) does not
identify SKYWATCH and TSO-C113, return the display to the factory for modification. To schedule
workload and ensure a quick turn around, a return authorization will be required. Call BFG Avionics
Systems Customer Service (1-800-453-0288 or 1-616-949-6600) for details.
