System Description and Installation Manual for Range Finder 3.0 ICD10000‐01 Introduction The Range Finder Interface Control Document (ICD) describes Range Finder characteristics, communications and installation. Range Finder functionality and performance are meant to demonstrate basic TCAS‐like operation; i.e., interrogation at 1030 MHz and listening for replies at 1090 MHz. Range Finder also receives and transmits ADS‐B messages at 1090 MHz. NOTE: This document is under development.

System Description and Installation Manual for Range Finder 4.0 ICD10000‐01 Overview The Range Finder is a small device capable of locating aircraft in its immediate area and determining ranges. Range Finder is a member of the Sagetech MX product family. Range Finder performs the following basic functions:     Range Finding: o Sends out “all‐call” (broadcast) interrogations, listens to replies and reports the information, including range, to the command and control interface.
PAGE 10
System Description and Installation Manual for Range Finder      4.1 ICD10000‐01 Range Finder includes an internal pressure altitude sensor, encoder and an altitude encoder port to a static pressure line. The integral altitude encoder is calibrated to 60,000 feet MSL by default. Configurations are available with calibration/defined altitude error up to 100,000 feet MSL. Its approximate dimensions are 3.3” x 2.4” x 0.9”. (See Figure 6‐1.) Operating temperature is designed to be ‐40 to +71°C when 2.

System Description and Installation Manual for Range Finder 5.0 ICD10000‐01 Installation Installation of the Sagetech Range Finder consists of:  Mounting with required 2.
PAGE 12
System Description and Installation Manual for Range Finder      ICD10000‐01 Range Finder should be mounted away from sources of excess heat to better guarantee an operating environment within its designed temperature range. The Range Finder requires a 2.0°C/Watt heat sink at full power above 40°C ambient. Actual heat sink needs are dependent on temperature of operating environment and power load. Range Finder is designed in such a way that its case conducts thermal load to the aircraft frame.

Range Finder’s Main Connector is a 51‐pin Micro D‐Sub type female connector. Figure 5‐2 shows the Main Connector pin assignment orientation. Table 5‐2 provides the Main Connector manufacturer’s part number.

System Description and Installation Manual for Range Finder 5.3 ICD10000‐01 Connect to GPS Interface GPS data should be provided to the Range Finder from the aircraft system integrator in one of two ways: a) GPS serial data stream on the 51‐pin Micro‐D connector. The data format is either NMEA or a proprietary format from a NexNav Mini GPS (a TSO‐C145c compliant solution). b) Host Computer GPS data is incorporated into the command and control protocol packets on the 51‐ pin serial interface.

System Description and Installation Manual for Range Finder ICD10000‐01  Try to keep the antennas located at least 36” away from other antennas on the aircraft. The antennas should be located as close to the centerline of the fuselage as space allows, while trying to keep the antennas on a flat surface.  A ground plane is required for most antennas appropriate for Range Finder. Failure to provide a good ground plane can result in degradation of antenna performance.
PAGE 16
System Description and Installation Manual for Range Finder ICD10000‐01 The antenna cable must have no more than 2dB of signal loss from the Range Finder to the antenna. This includes losses in the connector and cable. Generic and custom‐built cables can be obtained from suppliers such as Pasternak, Richardson, and Aircraft Spruce. Avoid sharp bends in the antenna cable that could lead to additional cable loss. 5.
