Lynx NGT-9000s Installation Manual 1.2 FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION The Lynx MultiLink Surveillance System (also referred to in this manual as the Lynx NGT-9000s) is a Mode S Level 2 dens Class 1 Transponder with an integrated GPS receiver providing Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast (ADS-B) output using a 1090ES (Extended Squitter). The unit also receives ADS-B data via 1090ES and UAT (978 MHz Universal Access Transceiver). Some models support optional Active Traffic Awareness System (TAS) or antenna Diversity functionality. The unit replies to Mode A, Mode C and Mode S interrogations receiving interrogations at 1030 MHz and transmitting responses at 1090 MHz. The unit is equipped with IDENT capability that activates the Special Identification (SPI) pulse for 18 seconds. Ground stations can interrogate Mode S Transponders individually using a 24-bit ICAO Mode S address, which is unique to the particular aircraft. In addition, ground stations may interrogate the unit for its transponder data capability and the aircraft's Flight ID. The ADS-B provides own aircraft data with Enhanced Visual Acquisition (EVAcq) traffic information that improves situational awareness and flight safety by providing aircraft position, velocity, and heading information that is automatically transmitted to other aircraft and ground stations providing immediate surveillance of air-to-air traffic. The 1090ES and UAT ADS-B datalink have the following capabilities: • 1090ES In - Receive ADS-B, ADS-R and TIS-B • 1090ES Out - Transmit ADS-B • UAT In - Receives ADS-B, ADS-R and TIS-B, FIS-B, NOTAMS, and TFR’s The unit also provides TAS traffic advisories when TAS configuration is enabled. A voice or tone audio output announces traffic alerts. The unit has multiple transmit/receive ARINC 429, RS-422 and RS-232 data ports used to transmit data to traffic, weather, and PED displays. The unit provides the transponder code, reply symbol and mode of operation to the display. Maintenance and configuration setup can be accomplished via the USB port located on the front of the unit or by an optional WiFi connection. Models are available that provide Active Traffic Awareness System (TAS) function and antenna Diversity. Both models require additional equipment to be installed. 1.2.1 GPS Functional Overview The GPS function utilizes signals from Global Positioning System (GPS) satellite constellation and Satellite-Based Augmentation Systems (SBAS) such as the USA Wide Area Augmentation System (WAAS), European EGNOS, Indian GAGAN and the Japanese MSAS. Currently it supports WAAS and WAAS compatible SBAS systems. The internal GPS function provides position, velocity, time, and integrity (NIC, NAC etc.) information to the ADS-B functions and is ADS-B rule compliant with the requirements of AC20-165A.

Lynx NGT-9000s Installation Manual 1.2.2 ADS-B System Overview The Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast (ADS-B) improves situational awareness and flight safety by providing real time traffic information. The ADS-B In function is used to receive ground station supported TIS-B and ADS-R traffic, and direct communication with nearby like equipped aircraft (with Mode S or UAT). The ADS-B Out (1090ES) function is used to periodically broadcast (without interrogation) information about the aircraft that includes aircraft identification, position, altitude, velocity and other aircraft status information. • The traffic display shows the relative position of ADS-B or standard traffic using text, shapes, and colors. ADS-B also provides similar information on ADS-B equipped ground vehicles. • The effective surveillance range is 60 nmi. The passive-mode surveillance range is 160 nmi and maintains report messages for a minimum of 200 1090ES ADS-B participants and 300 UAT ADS-B participants simultaneously. To reduce display clutter a set number of other aircraft of the highest priority other aircraft are displayed at a time. See Figure 1-2 for an example of own aircraft traffic (UAT, 1090ES, TIS-B, and TAS). • The Lynx NGT-9000 is equipped with a dual-link receiver. ADS-R service is unnecessary to provide a complete picture of traffic in the area. 1.2.3 ADS-R System Overview The Automatic Dependent Surveillance – Re-broadcast (ADS-R) is a ground based broadcast service that repeats ADS-B messages from one link (1090ES or UAT) to the other link for aircraft with ADS-B In. • ADS-R transmissions are updated at least every 2 seconds on the surface, 5 seconds in the terminal area, and 10 seconds in the en-route airspace. • An aircraft on the ground receiving ADS-R is provided both ground aircraft and vehicles as well as airborne other aircraft within 5nm and 2,000 ft above ground level of the airport reference point. • Other aircraft are provided by the ground station if within a 15 nm horizontal range and +/-5,000 ft of altitude of the receiving aircraft. ADS-B equipped ground aircraft and vehicles are not displayed to airborne aircraft. See Figure 1-2 for an example of own aircraft traffic (UAT, 1090ES, TIS-B, and TAS). 1.2.4 TIS-B System Overview Traffic Information Service Broadcast (TIS-B) is a ground based broadcast service that provides secondary surveillance radar (SSR) derived traffic data (aircraft not equipped with ADS-B Out capability) to ADS-B In equipped aircraft. • The actual availability of services depends upon the availability of ground-based radar to support TIS-B source data. • Receiving aircraft must be in both radar coverage and ground based transceiver (GBT) coverage in a given area to receive TIS-B service in that area. When ownship is above 24,000 ft, the ground station will no longer provide TIS-B service. To reduce display clutter, the TIS-B service provides traffic information on other aircraft within 15 nmi and +/- 3500 ft of ownship. • Other aircraft are provided by the ground station if within a 15nm horizontal range and +/-3,500 ft of altitude of the receiving aircraft. ADS-B equipped ground aircraft and vehicles are not displayed to airborne aircraft. See Figure 1-2 for an example of own aircraft traffic (UAT, 1090ES, TIS-B, and TAS). 0040-17001-01 General Information Page 1-3 Revision A January 15, 2015
Lynx NGT-9000s Installation Manual 1.2.5 FIS-B System Overview The Flight Information Services - Broadcast (FIS-B) function provides pilots with a cockpit display of certain aviation weather and aeronautical information for awareness of own aircraft location with respect to reported weather, including hazardous meteorological conditions (CONUS/ NEXRAD /AIRMETS/ SIGMETS/ NOTAMS/ METARS, etc) and SUA status and TAF (FIS-B products). NOTE CONUS and Regional NEXRAD may not always contain complete data. The data is refreshed every 15 minutes and it is likely to be updated in a future cycle. FIS-B is advisory information only and is intended to enhance pilot decision-making during strategic flight planning. FIS-B augments traditional sources of this information such as ATC and Flight Service Station (FSS). FIS-B information is provided over the ADS-B Services network on the 978 MHz UAT link when in ground station coverage. 1.2.6 Traffic Awareness System (option) Overview The TAS option is an active system that operates as an aircraft-to-aircraft interrogation device. The unit interrogates transponders in the surrounding airspace similar to ground based radar. When replies to these active interrogations are received, the responding aircraft’s range, altitude, and closure rates are computed to plot traffic location and predict collision threats. The unit alerts the flight crew to nearby transponder equipped aircraft and assists the pilot in the visual acquisition of aircraft that may represent a danger. Traffic information, out to a selected range, is graphically displayed on the unit or alternate display. See Figure 1-2 for an example of own aircraft traffic (UAT, 1090ES, TIS-B, and TAS). • The system display shows the relative position of traffic using text, shapes (i.e., Traffic Advisory = solid circle; Other Traffic = open diamond) and colors. • The effective active-mode surveillance range is 35 nmi and track 35 ATCRBS intruders simultaneously with the target bearing relative to the nose of own aircraft. • The tracking of targets is in a cylindrical volume centered on own aircraft that has, at a minimum, a radius of 35 nmi and extends 10,000 ft above and 10,000 ft below own aircraft. 1.2.7 Discrete Inputs and Outputs The Lynx NGT-9000s have discrete inputs and outputs available that can be interfaced to indicator lamps and cockpit switches. These are optional installations and are not required. • The WOW input discrete signals the On Ground status to the unit via a squat switch, airspeed monitor, or a collective switch. • The IDENT switch activates the IDENT pulse which highlights the aircraft’s symbol on the ATC’s radar screen and is identified on the NGT-9000 when active. • The Audio Mute switch is used to signal the unit to suppress all audio output. The discrete is set to GND/Open. The active position indicates Audio Muted. When grounded this input mutes all audio from the NGT-9000. This input is typically only used if the aircraft equipped with TAWS or other aircraft alerting systems. • The TAS Alert lamp is used to indicate Traffic Alert (TA). The discrete is set to GND/Open. The GND (active) position indicates Traffic Alert. The GND (active) position illuminates the lamp. • The TIS-B Not In Coverage lamp is used to indicate that the unit is not receiving a ground station signal. The discrete is set to GND/Open. The GND (active) position illuminates the lamp. • The ADS-B Out Fail lamp is used to indicate that ADS-B out is not operating. The discrete is set to GND/Open. The GND (active) position illuminates the lamp. Depending on the situation the lamp has the following functions: flashes while the GPS is initializing and stays illuminated when the ADS-B Out has failed.

Lynx NGT-9000s Installation Manual Figure 1-3: System Block Diagram 1.4.1 ADS-B Out Fail The ADS-B Out Fail is a discrete output that provides an indication of when there is a loss of ADS-B Out. The discrete output is a ground/open type and is able to sink 250mA. 1.4.2 AHRS Input An optional ARINC 429 input is provided to interface to an AHRS (heading) system in order to provide data for Enhanced Surveillance (EHS) and ADS-B data. 1.4.3 Altitude Encoder Input Altitude input is required on either and an RS-232 input port, 11 Wire Gillham Input Port or ARINC 429 Input Port. Page 1-8 General Information 0040-17001-01 January 15, 2015 Revision A
Lynx NGT-9000s Installation Manual 1.4.4 Audio Out Two audio out discrete outputs are available that can output a 40 mW signal to equipment with a load of 600 Ohms. 1.4.5 RF Suppression Input/output The mutual suppression input/output is used to provide suppression of L-band equipment on the aircraft. The transponder uses the signal as an input to inhibit decoding of receiver signals when other equipment on the aircraft is transmitting. When the transponder transmits, it asserts a positive voltage on the output to provide the suppression to other systems on the airplane. 1.4.6 TAS Alert Traffic Alert is a discrete output that provides an indication of when a TAS Alert exists. Discrete outputs are ground/open type and are able to sink 250mA. 1.4.7 TIS-B Not In Coverage The TIS-B Not In Coverage discrete output provides an indication that the unit is not in an Radar coverage area or that power has been removed from the unit. Discrete outputs are ground/open type and are able to sink 250mA. 1.4.8 WiFi Interface The Unit uses a RS-232 bus to interface with a commercially available RS-232 to Wifi accessory. This interface provides traffic and weather information on a personal electronic device via an approved software application (APP). 1.4.9 WOW Input The WOW input discrete is optional. The input signals the On Ground status to the unit via squat switch, Airspeed monitor, or a collective switch. The discrete input is active (ON) when the input is grounded. • Do not connect this to a gear switch or a manual pilot switch input. • An internal algorithmic override that uses ground speed and altitude inputs may override this input and change the air/ground state (ex. a WOW "in-air" state could get changed back to on ground if the Aircraft is sitting on the ground). This is expected behavior. If simulated in-air tested is required, use the ground test mode. 1.4.10 Maintenance Interface The Unit can interface to a maintenance computer using either the WiFi interface or the USB port located on the front of the unit. This interface is used for installation setup and fault isolation and is only available while on ground. 1.4.11 GPS Antenna Antenna performance is critical to the operation of the Unit. The unit requires that the GPS Antenna meet performance requirements specified in TSO-145c. 0040-17001-01 General Information Page 1-9 Revision A January 15, 2015

ACSS deviates from DO—160G Section 21 Category M Radiated RF Emissions in the following frequency bands when the transmitter is active: 2180MHz ± 7MHz (2nd Transmitter harmonic) Exceeds Cat M by as much as 19.3dB 3270MHz ± 23MHz (3rd Transmitter harmonic) Exceeds Cat M by as much as 22.0dB 4360MHz ± 23MHz (4th Transmitter harmonic) Exceeds Cat M by as much as 24.4dB 5450MHz ± 23MHz (5th Transmitter harmonic) Exceeds Cat M by as much as 21.4dB 0040-17001-01 General Information Page 1-17 Revision A January 15, 2015
Lynx NGT-9000s Installation Manual Table 1-7: TSO Deviations TSO NO. DEVIATION TSO-C147, 1.c Due to the RF power requirement and inherent non-linearities in RF transmitters, the harmonics of the transmitter exceed the RF radiated emissions limit in DO-160G. ACSS deviates from DO—160G Section 21 Category M Radiated RF Emissions in the following frequency bands when the transmitter is active: 2060MHz ± 5MHz (2nd Transmitter harmonic) Exceeds Cat M by as much as15.6dB. 3090MHz ± 5MHz (3rd Transmitter harmonic) Exceeds Cat M by as much as 16.7dB. 4120MHz ± 20MHz (4th Transmitter harmonic) Exceeds Cat M by as much as 22.7dB. 5150MHz ± 5MHz (5th Transmitter harmonic) Exceeds Cat M by as much as 12.2dB TSO-C112d The NGT-9000 does not perform Comm-A (broadcast or addressed) or Comm-B Air-Initiated ADLP (Airborne Data Link Processor) link operations. The NGT-9000 meets the certification of Level 2 transponders except for the support of the above listed ADLP functions. TSO-147 The use of traffic symbology as defined in DO-317A is equivalent level of safety to the symbols define in TSO-C147. ACSS submits that the use of the 0.1 inch character size for the TAS characters (relative altitude tag) and use of 0.163 inch traffic symbols provides an equivalent level of safety to the TSO-C147 specified character and symbol sizes. TSO-195a The ACSS ATCRBS and ADS-B traffic in a track-up orientation when heading source is unavailable. ACSS believes that removing the ADS-B traffic or ATCRBS traffic from the display when the heading input is not available would significantly reduce the value of the CDTI’s support in the pilot’s see and avoid responsibilities. ACSS proposes the DO-317A ASA AIRB application display TIS-B traffic, with a NACv of 0, as a non-directional track similar to EVAcq. This removes the contradiction between requirements and is in-line with updates in the next revision of the MOPS (i.e., DO-317B). ACSS proposes the DO-317A ASA AIRB application display TIS-B traffic by reporting the most recent non-zero NACv reading confirmed over a 60 second interval. ACSS will set the EVAcq and AIRB functions unavailable when ownship position is beyond 85 degrees North or South latitude. The result is a display of “Traffic Unavailable” on Panel mount units and an indication of “Standby” for remote displays. However, for NGT-9000 installations, where TAS is enabled, the range/bearing based TAS targets are displayed. 1.7.3 Non-TSO Functions The Non-TSO functions information provided here and below is to support FAA Order 8150.1B, section 17.c.(3) and Order 8110.4C Change 3, section 6-9.b.(2),(3) and are covered throughout this installation manual as applicable. All Non- TSO functions are provided for situational awareness and are not catastrophic or hazardous (per FAA Notice 8150.6 Section 5(f) (4)). Non-TSO functions are functions not covered by a TSO approved Minimum Performance Standard/Specification (MPS) and are distinct and independent, i.e., are not a supporting or additional feature of another TSO’s function. The Lynx NGT-9000s and DCM do not have any Non-TSO functions. Page 1-18 General Information 0040-17001-01 January 15, 2015 Revision A

It is recommended that the installer perform the following wiring checks during installation: • Check all wiring point-to-point for continuity before connecting components. • Ensure voltages are not applied to signal wires. • Inspect cables for correct connection. 8. Use the following information for interfacing compatible equipment. Additional information may be found in the General Information section under Equipment Interfaces. • Installations using the GMX 200 connect the Lynx NGT-9000s (TX pins 52 & 53) only. 2.3.2.1 Shielded Cable Preparation • Use these instructions to prepare the Shielded Tefzel Wire (MIL27500) or equivalent for connection to the 62 pin sub D connector. • The crimp pins of the 62 pin connector are to be crimped to the wires. • The Outer Jacket of the cable is to be removed for all cables on which the solder sleeve to be placed for ground contact. The installer is to ensure that the outer jacket is removed on the cable for the length of the cable inside the 62 pin connector backshell and can be around 1 to 1.5 inches from the crimped pin side. Refer to Table 2-1 for the procedure on how to remove the jacket and insertion of solder sleeve. 1. The cable can be stripped according to the following procedure designed to leave the shield braid smooth and flat. The use of finger cots is recommended to prevent transfer of oils to the shield. a. Score and remove the jacket as shown below: b. Bunch the braid: c. Trim the braid as close as possible to the jacket: 0040-17001-01 Installation Page 2-7 Revision A January 15, 2015
Lynx NGT-9000s Installation Manual d. Score the jacket ¼ to 5/16 inch from the end of the braid: e. Remove the section of jacket carefully by pulling straight. This will flatten the braid strand ends: f. Inspect the cable to make sure that the braid strands are lying against the primary insulation. 2. Solder Sleeve placement NOTE Ensure the strands of the shield braid and ground lead lay flat and smooth. a. Position the stripped portion of ground lead (s) against the stripped portion of the shield braid. b. Slip the selected shield terminator over the cable and ground lead assembly. Rotate the shield terminator as it slides over the ground lead to prevent it from catching on the strands. c. Position the terminator so that the exposed shield is centered between the solder sleeve (solder preform) inserts and some of the cable jacket is visible between the solder sleeve inserts and the exposed shield. Page 2-8 Installation 0040-17001-01 January 15, 2015 Revision A
Lynx NGT-9000s Installation Manual 3. Apply Heating on the Solder Sleeve a. Use Tyco Electronics approved heat source and reflector as shown below: Heat Gun / Setting Reflector HL1910E = 6 on dial HL2010E = 700°F on LCD PR-25 or PR-25D and HL1802E-ADAPT b. Allow hot air heaters to warm up before using. c. Position the assembly (cable, ground lead and terminator) in the reflector so that the solder preform is in the center of the hot air or at the focal point on the infrared heaters. d. If the cable jacket or ground lead insulation is susceptible to heat damage for example, if the insulation is PVC (PVC may not be used on new installations), or if the infrared heating is used with black insulation, move the assembly toward the heat source to minimize unwanted exposure of the jacket to the heat. e. Heat until the solder preform melts flows and wets the shield and ground lead. f. Some terminators contain a thermal indicator to signal when the correct amount of heat has been applied to the solder. There are two types of indicators. One is a thermo-chromic material which signals correct heating by loss of color. Terminators with this type of indicator should be heated until all the colored material in the joint area has turned colorless. (Slight traces of the material may remain in the standing of the shield). The other type of thermal indicator is a ring of fusible material around solder preform. Terminators with this Bi-Alloy indicator should be heated until the solder preform melts and the indicator ring completely disappears in the joint area. 0040-17001-01 Installation Page 2-9 Revision A January 15, 2015

Lynx NGT-9000s Installation Manual 2.3.5.1 GPS Antenna The GPS antenna performance is critical to the performance of the Lynx NGT-9000s. The antenna must meet the minimum performance requirements for the Lynx NGT-9000s. • The recommended antenna is a DO-301 compliant antenna meeting the requirements of TSO-C190. For installations where the aircraft has an existing antenna complying with DO-228 (TSO-C144a), the unit may be installed utilizing this antenna, as per DO-229D Note 1, Section 2.1.1.10. Use the antenna location information below to verify an existing antenna location is acceptable for use. • The performance of the unit is affected by the gain, noise figure, impedance, and frequency selectivity characteristics of the antenna. The unit should be used only with the recommended antenna and cable. Use of other antennas or cables may not meet all the performance characteristics specified in DO-229D. • The cable including connectors, loss should not exceed 10dB. 2.3.5.1.1 GPS Antenna Location The following guidance provides information to aid the installer in determining the best location is selected for the installation of the GPS Antenna. The installation guidelines presented here meet the intent of AC 20-138C Chapter 12, Section 12-1. NOTE Not all the listed installation guidelines may be possible on all aircraft. The guidelines are listed in order of importance. The chances of optimal signal strength are decreased if the guidelines are not followed. 1. The antenna must be located on the top of the aircraft and should be mounted in a location to minimize the effects of airframe shadowing during typical maneuvers. Typically mounting farther away from the tail section reduces signal blockage seen by the antenna. 2. Mount the antenna as close to level as possible with respect to the normal cruise flight attitude of the aircraft. If the normal flight attitude is not known, substitute with the waterline, which is typically referenced as level while performing a weight and balance check. A shim may be used to level the antenna. 3. The antenna should be mounted no closer than 3 feet from any VHF COM antenna or any other antenna, which may emit harmonic interference at the L1 frequency of 1575.42 MHz. An aircraft EMI check can verify the degradation of GPS in the presence of interference signals. • If an EMI check reveals unacceptable interference, either insert a GPS notch filter in line with the offending VHF COM or select a different GPS Antenna location. 4. To maintain a constant gain pattern and limit degradation by the windscreen, avoid mounting the antenna closer than 3 inches from the windscreen. 5. It is permissible to temporarily locate the GPS Antenna with a coaxial cable connected to the unit and check the GPS performance as described in the installation checkout section. Permanently mount the antenna once a suitable location has been verified. 6. Once the antenna mounting position has been established, route the coaxial cable from the antenna to the Lynx NGT-9000s. Proper selection of coaxial cable and assembly of connectors is critical to GPS signal performance. 7. For installations on rotorcraft, ensure that the rotor blades do not interfere with the GPS received signal. This problem has been experienced in some rotorcraft and varies with rotation rate.

Lynx NGT-9000s Installation Manual 2.3.5.1.2 GPS Antenna Installation Refer to the aircraft manufacturer's data and the antenna manufacturer's installation instructions to mount the antenna. The installer may use other FAA approved data to gain a separate antenna installation approval. 1. Electrical Bonding Requirements: The GPS/WAAS antenna requires a minimum ground plane radius of 7.5 inches around the perimeter of the antenna. For metal aircraft, the surrounding metal skin on which the antenna is mounted supplies the ground plane. For non-metal aircraft, the ground plane can be composed of heavy duty aluminum foil tape, such as 3M PIN 438 or other adhesive backed dead soft aluminum foil minimum 0.012 inches thick. It should be noted that if the antenna is struck by lightning, the foil by itself may not be sufficient to dissipate lightning currents. Additional protection may be needed depending on the construction of the structure to which the antenna is mounted. • The electrical bonding requirements stated in paragraph 2.3.2 must be met. • To prepare an aluminum surface for proper bonding, refer to SAE ARP1870. 2. Connection to the antenna should be made in accordance with the system interconnect diagram Figure 2-3. 2.3.5.2 L-Band Antenna The L-band antenna is used to must meet the minimum performance requirements for the Lynx NGT-9000s. Antennas meeting the minimum performance specifications needed by the Lynx NGT-9000s may already be installed in the aircraft and may be available for use. Use the antenna location information below to verify an existing antenna location is acceptable for use. 2.3.5.2.1 L-band Antenna Location The L-band antenna installation should be installed in accordance with AC 43.12-2A Chapter 3. The following guidance provides information to aid the installer in determining that the best location is selected for the installation of the L-band Antenna. • The primary L-Band antenna (978 MHz /1030 & 1090 MHz) must be mounted vertically on the bottom of the aircraft fuselage. The antenna shall be located to minimize obstruction to fields in the horizontal plane. • The optional Diversity L-Band antenna (1090 MHz) must be mounted vertically on the top of the aircraft as shown in Figure 2-13. Horizontal separation from the bottom mounted L-band antenna must be no more than 25 feet (7.6 meters). • The total attenuation including connectors shall not exceed 1.5 dB. Based on this, the length of the cable can be decided assuming RG-400 cable. RG type coaxial cable insertion loss can vary significantly between manufacturers. Refer to the cable manufacturer's specification sheet for actual attenuation (insertion loss) for the cable being used. • The Antenna(s) should be located away from major protrusions, such as engine(s), propeller(s), and antenna masts. It should be as far as practical from landing gear doors, access doors, or other openings that could affect its radiation pattern. • The Antenna(s) must be mounted no closer than 20 inches from any FADEC (Full Authority Digital Engine Control). • The bottom L-Band must be mounted no closer than 7 feet to any DME antenna. • The Antenna(s) must be mounted no closer than 36 inches to any TAS/TCAS antenna. • The Antenna(s) should be mounted no closer than 3 feet from any GPS antenna. 0040-17001-01 Installation Page 2-23 Revision A January 15, 2015
Lynx NGT-9000s Installation Manual 2.3.5.3 L-Band Antenna Installation Refer to the aircraft manufacturer's data and the antenna manufacturer's installation instructions to mount the antenna(s). The installer may use other FAA approved data to gain a separate antenna installation approval. • Electrical Bonding Requirements: Each L-Band antenna requires a minimum ground plane radius of 12 inches of contiguous metal (no access panels, etc.) around the perimeter of the antenna. For metal aircraft, the surrounding metal skin on which the antenna is mounted supplies the ground plane. For non-metal aircraft, the ground plane can be composed of heavy duty aluminum foil tape, such as 3M PIN 438 or other adhesive backed dead soft aluminum foil minimum 0.012 inches thick. It should be noted that if the antenna is struck by lightning, the foil by itself may not be sufficient to dissipate lightning currents. Additional protection may be needed depending on the construction of the structure to which the antenna is mounted. The electrical bonding requirements stated in paragraph 2.3.2 must be met. • Connection to the antenna should be made in accordance with the system interconnect diagram Figure 2-3. • All antenna cables should be clearly marked as both connections use TNC connectors. • Acceptable coaxial cable attenuation including connectors shall be less than 1.5 dB at 978 MHz. • Reference General Information Section – Antenna Cables for L-Band Antenna cable loss and minimum antenna spacing requirements. • Refer to General Information Section - lists some suitable cable types. Any 50ohm, double-shielded coaxial cable assembly that meets airworthiness requirements and the acceptable attenuation requirements (including connectors) may be used. When computing cable loss, a typical loss of 0.2 dB can be used for each connection. Refer to paragraph 2.3 step 2 for antenna electrical bonding requirements. 2.3.5.4 Installation Guidelines for NY156 (TCAS) and NY164 (TCAS) Directional Antenna Connections are made through two TNC and one BNC connector. To ensure a tight seal between the airframe and antenna, an O-ring seal (i.e., an O-ring groove for an MS28775-044 O-ring) has been incorporated into the design. An O-ring is supplied with each antenna and must be installed when mounting the antenna. Installation kits associated with various airframes are described in the General Information section along with the contents of each kit.

Lynx NGT-9000s Installation Manual 2.3.5.4.1 Directional Antenna Location Location is an important factor for maximum antenna performance. Optimum location for a particular aircraft type is usually available from the aircraft manufacturer. See Figure 2-15 for Antenna Outline dimensions. 1. In selecting a location, consider the following: • The mounting site should be on the top forward fuselage, as close to the centerline as possible, and within -10° of the in-flight horizon (see Figure 2-14). • The optimum mounting point for maximum coverage is as far forward as possible without exceeding the -10° forward pitch. • If necessary, consideration should be given to relocating other antennas to obtain the furthest forward location for the directional antenna. • The antenna should be mounted on the aircraft with at least 20 dB isolation (about 30 inches (76.2 cm)) from other L-band frequency antennas and 24 inches (61.0 cm) from other antennas or obstructions. • The ground-plane should be as large as possible, a 30-inch (76.2 cm) ground-plane diameter is recommended. • Refer to the guidelines given for the GPS Antenna and L-Band (UAT/1090) Antennas for additional spacing requirements. • The directional antenna can be bottom mounted only if a suitable top mount location is not available. Each bottom mount installation must be evaluated on a case-by-case basis. Before starting a bottom mount installation, contact Field Service Engineering at 1-800-453-0288 or 1-616-949-6600. Note - The bottom mount directional antenna eliminates the diversity option. Figure 2-14: Directional Antenna Mounting Location 0040-17001-01 Installation Page 2-25 Revision A January 15, 2015

Lynx NGT-9000 Installation Manual 5. In Air / On Ground The following options are setup based on the emitter category selected (aircraft type) and the In Air / On Ground selections. • A fixed wing aircraft with a ground discrete installed requires the following options: “Max Ground Speed” and “Discrete Override Speed”. • A fixed wing without discrete requires the following options: “Max Ground Speed”, “GPS Altitude”, and “Pressure Altitude”. • A rotorcraft with discrete requires the following option: “Max Ground Speed”. • A rotorcraft without discrete requires the following options: “Max Ground Speed”, “GPS Altitude”, and “Pressure Altitude”. a. On Ground Discrete Installed: This is the WOW input, Discrete 3 input. See J1 Pin 29. • Not Installed • Open – Ground on Ground • Open – On Ground b. Ground Speed Thresholds (knots) • Max Ground Speed: The valid range is 30 to 100. Typically 70% of Vs0. Must be less than or equal to the Discrete Override Speed. This is the upper threshold speed which aircraft is considered on ground. Ground speeds below this level place the unit in the Ground state. Fields that become inhibited get set to zeros. As fields become uninhibited the values are reset to defaults. • Discrete Override Speed: Applicable only when On Ground Discrete installed and not a Rotorcraft. When applicable, the valid range is 30 to 100, typically 130% of Vs1, and must be greater than or equal to Max Ground Speed. This is the lower threshold speed which aircraft is considered in air. Ground speeds above this level place the unit in the In Air state, overriding the discrete switch. c. Altitude Thresholds (feet) • GPS Altitude: The valid range is 0 to 500. This value is used for fixed wing and rotorcraft installs that do not have an air/ground discrete. This is the lower limit threshold difference in GPS altitude after Power ON at which aircraft is considered in air. A change in GPS altitude above this level places the unit in the In Air state. • Pressure Altitude: The valid range is 0 to 500. This value is used for fixed wing and rotorcraft installs that do not have an air/ground discrete. This is the lower limit threshold difference in pressure altitude after Power ON at which aircraft is considered in air. A change in pressure altitude above this level places the unit in the In Air state. 6. Click on the Apply button after all information is entered.

Lynx NGT-9000s Installation Manual 4.4.1 System Status Messages The system status messages are seen on the screen either during start up or when the System Test button is pressed. The typical meanings of the messages are detailed in the bullets below. Use the information in Table 4-2 to help determine cause and corrective actions. • A “Fail” message is caused by something internal to the unit. • An “External Fail” message is caused by a problem with the external equipment input signals. The unit continues to attempt to acquire the signal without rebooting. These messages automatically clear once communications has been restored to the external equipment. • A “Degraded” message indicates a function has limited capability due to an internal failure. • An “External Degraded” message indicates a function has limited capability due to an external failure. • A “Coverage” or “No Signal” message indicates that no signal is being received from a ground station. Attempt to clear fail or degraded messages by cycling power to the unit. View the message list and use the Lynx MAT to access the configuration and fault logs to isolate this issue. The Continue button is active whenever a failure or degraded window message is shown. It may be used to begin normal operation with degraded performance. The unit continues to operate non-fatal failures detected during the System Test by providing any functionality unaffected by the failures. If one or more of the secondary faults are detected, then the unit displays the "Service Unit Soon" as part of the message. (That information is recorded in the maintenance log, but is not displayed.

Lynx NGT-9000s Installation Manual Appendix A Interface Signal Name & Cable Characteristics A.1 INTRODUCTION This appendix defines digital interface label information and electrical characteristics of all input and output signal names to the Lynx NGT-9000s Multilink Surveillance System (the unit). Sufficient data is included to use a bus reader for the purpose of identifying signal input and output characteristics and perform an electrical load analysis for the aircraft. The input and output interfaces are sometimes configurable as noted in the following paragraphs. The interface characteristics contained in this appendix are fully compatible with ARINC specifications where noted. Connection information identifies the connector-pin and signal names as shown on the external interconnect wiring diagram in the installation section. A.2 INPUT AND OUTPUT INTERFACES A.2.1 Input Power The unit has two power inputs available for either +14 VDC or +28VDC operation. The inputs are not diode isolated and are intended to be tied to the same power input device in order to handle the required current. A.2.2 RF Suppression Bus The transmission asserts a positive voltage on the output to provide the suppression to other L-band equipment on the airplane. The suppression pulse output is DC coupled, and drives positive pulses not less than 18 Vdc or greater than 70 Vdc into system loads from 300 to 2000 Ohms with a shunt capacitance of up to 1850 pF. The signal meets the hardware characteristics as defined in ARINC 735B Attachment 8. A.2.3 Audio Output The audio output shall be capable of supplying up to 40 milli Watts (RMS) at 1000 Hz into a 600 Ohm audio distribution system. This output is directly compatible with industry standard audio panels. A.2.4 Gilham Input (Altitude Input) The Gillham interface is optional. Only one altimeter input source (gray code, ARINC-429 or RS-232) may be connected. The Gillham interface consists of 11 discrete lines. These 11 discrete lines represent 11 binary digits representing the Gillham encoded pressure altitude. The Gillham code uses a modified Gray code algorithm to ensure that no more than one bit changes between adjacent altitudes. The three lowest significant bits represent 100 foot increments. The eight highest significant bits represent 500 foot increments. The digits are labeled as follows beginning with the most significant bit to the least significant bit (D2, D4, A1, A2, A4, B1, B2, B4, C1, C2, C4). 0040-17001-01 Appendix A Page A-1 Revision A January 15, 2015
