TQ Aviation KTX2-F.0100 EASA.AP445 MAN 3.4.5.1 Altitude Offset Calibration The Altitude Offset Calibration allows you to adjust the built-in altitude encoder to ensure that the flight level transmitted by the transponder complies with all relevant standards. This process is normally carried out every 24 months, as part of the altimeter checks on the aircraft. The maximum allowed difference between the primary altimeter and the altitude encoder is 125 feet according to ETSO C88a.
TQ Aviation KTX2-F.0100 EASA.AP445 MAN 7. After a few seconds either the “Delta” value is showing the altitude offset value or a notification is displayed. In a normal case the calibration procedure was successfully performed and the new altitude offset value is stored. In a rare case the offset value determined by the calibration procedure is beyond the limits. Possible reasons can be: • Altitude set point values of transponder and static test set do not match. => Check the settings.

TQ Aviation KTX2-F.0100 EASA.AP445 MAN 4. Errors, Warnings and Notifications The transponder distinguishes 3 types of faults: • Degrading failures • Limiting failures • Severe failures Additionally notifications are displayed where appropriate. In order to be serviced, a defective transponder needs to be shipped to the nearest service station. For addresses see the TQ General Aviation website: https://www.tq-general-aviation.com/en/Service 4.
TQ Aviation KTX2-F.0100 EASA.AP445 MAN The following table shows a list of all degrading failures of the transponder. Failure Explanation Degradation Action / Remark DC converter TX supply voltage is low TX output power is reduced. Send unit for servicing. Bad antenna Antenna VSWR is bad (very high) TX output power is reduced. Check antenna installation (cable, connectors etc.) to resolve the problem before next flight. If no root cause can be discovered, send unit for servicing.
TQ Aviation KTX2-F.0100 EASA.AP445 MAN Degradation: TX output power may be reduced. Possible Reasons: 1. Battery exhausted. 2. Voltage of electric generator is low. Actions: 1. Exchange or charge the battery. 2. Check electric generator. 4.1.2 Very Low Battery Voltage If the supply voltage of the transponder falls below 7.5 V DC, a red indication “BAT LOW” is shown in the center of the display. The indication is shown as long as the voltage is too low.
TQ Aviation KTX2-F.0100 EASA.AP445 MAN 4.2 Limiting failures If no FID-Code (Flight ID) is entered or if the corresponding Aircraft Address (AA-Code) is missing or incomplete, the following failure is displayed after switching on the transponder: Figure 44: Missing AA-Code To fix this error an appropriate FID and AA-Code has to be configured as described in chapter 3.4.2. Note: This message can be cleared by pressing the rotary knob. The transponder will then operate in A/C mode only. 4.

TQ Aviation KTX2-F.0100 EASA.AP445 MAN This option must additionally be activated in the Setup. For details on configuration please refer to chapter 3.4.2.1.3.2. 5.1.4 Static Air Port The transponder has a built-in altitude encoder which must be connected to the same source of static pressure as the primary altimeter on the aircraft. For this purpose the transponder has a hose connection at its rear side for nominal 5mm or 3/16 inch tubing (inside diameter).
TQ Aviation KTX2-F.0100 EASA.AP445 MAN • Standard 50 Ω, vertically polarized antenna with a VSWR < 1.7:1 at 1090 MHz. • TSO-C66( ), TSO-C74( ), TSO-C112( ) , or TSO-154c antennas that also meet the VSWR specification. Only the L-Band antennas listed in the table below have been tested for compatibility with transponder installations. Manufacturer Part Number Connector Type RAMI AV-74 BNC Comant CI-105 BNC Comant CI-105-11 TNC Remarks Table 8: L-Band Antennas 5.1.6.
TQ Aviation KTX2-F.0100 EASA.AP445 MAN • Double braid screens or a foil and braid screen. Once the cable length from the transponder to the antenna is known, a cable type can be chosen which has a loss per meter low enough to meet the above requirements (see table below). Note: Low loss cable typically uses foamed or cellular dielectrics and foil screens. These make such cables especially prone to damage from too-tight bends or from momentary kinking during installation.
TQ Aviation KTX2-F.0100 EASA.AP445 MAN • Route the cable away from potential interference sources such as ignition wiring, 400Hz generators, fluorescent lighting and electric motors. • Allow a minimum separation of 300mm (12 inches) from an ADF antenna cable. Note: In case an already installed antenna can be further used (old transponder is replaced) and the existing connector does not fit, it is recommended to replace the connector.
TQ Aviation KTX2-F.0100 EASA.AP445 MAN 5.2 Wiring 5.2.1 Conductor Cross Section Power Supply (Batt. Plus, GND): AWG20 (0.62 mm²) Signals: AWG22 (0.38 mm²) The conductors must be approved for aircraft use. Recommended Quality: MIL-Spec 22759/34, (Spec 55) 20AWG / 22AWG Crimped D-Sub connector is always preferred against soldered connectors. Original TQ harness comply with common aviation wiring standards. Consult your approved aviation shop for installation details. 5.2.
