o Data range for 25 ft resolution: -1000… 50187 ft.
o Data range for 100 ft resolution: -1000… 126750 ft.
o The altitude information must be delivered from an external device.
• Mode S - interrogations are selective and Mode S transponders will respond to a
single directed interrogation from ground stations or another aircraft with ICAO 24-bit
address.
• ADS-B Broadcast-Only System, transmit:
o Airborne Position Message,
o Surface Position Message,
o Airborne Velocity Message,
o Aircraft Identification and Category Message,
o Aircraft Operational Status Message,
o Extended Squitter Aircraft Status Message.
• Diversity - operation with two antennas (top and bottom), required for installation in
aircrafts with gross mass in excess of 5700 kg or a maximum cruising true airspeed
in excess of 175 kt (324 km/h).
• Support of the SI code (Surveillance Identifier).
• Register capability for elementary surveillance (ELS) and enhanced surveillance (EHS).
• Data link capability.
• GPS receiver connection capability.
• Selftests (BITs) are integrated in the transponder.

1.4. Scope of Functionality
BXT6513-(0XX) is a transponder providing downlink of aircraft information and single antenna and
diversity antenna installations. For single antenna one shall be installed on the bottom side. For
diversity one antenna is installed on the top side, and the other on the bottom side of the aircraft
fuselage (detailed type description see "Type Plate", page 31).
The BXT6513-(0XX) operates on radar frequencies; receiving ground radar and ACAS interrogations
and replies via its transmitter with coded pulse packages on 1090 MHz. A
special position identification pulse (SPI) can be added for a period of 18 seconds to each pulse
package after activation of the dedicated discrete signal input on the unit.
The BXT6513-(0XX) meets Mode S Enhanced Surveillance (EHS) requirements.EHS parameters
require additional interface with other aircraft systems and the BXT6513-(0XX). Aircraft that can
provide the list of eight Downlink Aircraft Parameters (DAPs) listed in BDS registers 4.0, 5.0 and 6.0
are considered to be Mode S EHS capable. Aircraft that cannot provide these parameters will be
considered as, not EHS capable.
1.4.1. Fixed and Non-Volatile Data
The BXT6513-(0XX) configuration is stored in a non-volatile memory. There are two possibilities
where to store configuration data:
• Use the internal memory
• Use the external memory module EM6100.
The selection of equipment configuration source is done by hardware configuration (see “Unit
Configuration", page 46).

1.4.2. Diversity
Antenna diversity reduce the potential for antenna "shading", and helps to prevent target drop out in
each situation.
BXT6513-(000) is capable to operate with two antennas (top and bottom), required for installation in
aircrafts with gross mass in excess of 5700 kg or a maximum cruising true airspeed in excess of
175 kt (324 km/h).
1.4.3. Mode S
BXT6513-(0XX) as Mode S transponder is an airborne part of Mode S
Secondary Surveillance Radar system which detects ground interrogations arriving at 1030 MHz
signal frequency, processes them and generates responses at 1090 MHz signal frequency.

1.4.4. ADS-B (Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast)
ADS-B is a GPS based technology to define and provide aircraft relevant data. To support ADS-B Out,
the aircraft needs a certified GPS receiver as the position source, and this device to send the ADS-B
data. This data can be received by other air- and ground stations.
The Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast Out (ADS-B Out) function provides position,
velocity and status data on the transponder for broadcasting as extended squitters (ES). When data is
available, it is transmitted at specific periods and enable other participants to determine current
position, velocity and status of the aircraft without interrogation.
BXT6513-(0XX) is an ADS-B class B1 or B1S (aircraft broadcast only) Mode S transponder capable
for automatically sending out ADS-B data like:
• (BDS 0,5) Airborne Position Message.
o SPI.

2.3.6. Antenna Installation
For antenna installation, refer always to the manufacturer´s maintenance documentation for the
aircraft. Carry out the antenna installation in accordance with AC 43.12-2A Chapter 3.
Penetration of the pressurised cabin on a pressurised aircraft requires additional
data, which are not contained in this installation manual.
Radiation risk:
A safe distance to the installed antenna must be ensured by corresponding
installation measures around human body damage (e.g. at the eyes) and/or
avoid the inflammation of combustible materials by radiated energy.
The picture shows a typical location for top and bottom antenna installation for Diversity Mode S
transponder.
Figure 5: Antenna Installation (Diversity)
Transponder antennas should be installed as far away as practical from:
• Other antennas,
• Shadowing produced by other installations on the surface of the aircraft body,
• Exhaust path of the engine(s),
• Landing gear doors or other openings.
• Check the skin panels for sufficient bonding before the antenna installation.
• Separate the transponder antennas from DME and TCAS as much as possible
(approx. 1.8 m or 6 feet as guideline).
• Generally, transponder antennas should not be closer to the XPDR transceiver
installed as 3 ft. Otherwise RF interference may occur.
• Mount the main antenna on the bottom of the aircraft fuselage in a vertical position,
same as the top antenna. Horizontal separation of both antennas should not exceed
7.6 meters (25 ft).
• Follow the manufacturer´s installation instruction for the antenna to ensure achieving
maximum performance of the BXT6513-(0XX).
• If existing antennas on the aircraft will be used an inspection of the area between
antenna and the aircraft skin is highly recommended to avoid negative effects of
possible corrosion in this area.
• On composite aircraft, add sufficient ground plane material.

2.7.5.1. External Memory Module
External memory interface signals are available at P1 connector and EM connector.
If the External Memory module EM6100 is used as configuration data source the mechanical
installation is as per description:
• Backshell installation
(fix the EM6100 module to the pre-assembled connector at the back shell. Please
note, use a cable connection as short as practical but not longer than 150 mm).
Do not install two External Memory modules at same unit. The External Memory
module must always be installed when it is defined as configuration data source
(see "Data Source Configuration", page 48.
In dual unit installations with External Memory module as a configuration data
source, each unit needs its own External Memory module.
In case of dual unit installation, it is the responsibility of the installer to provide
correlated data to each unit.
Please make sure that configuration data of both units match to the aircraft and
installation. Aircraft properties include:
• Mode S address
• Maximum airspeed
• Aircraft registration
• Aircraft category
• Length and width code

Configuration Data
54 BXT6513-(0XX) DV15104.03 Issue 03 November 2016
2.8. Configuration Data
The BXT6513-(0XX) must be configured with the characteristic aircraft data.
The BXT6513-(0XX) configuration is stored in a non-volatile memory.
There are two possibilities where to store or load configuration data (see "Data Source Configuration"
page 48):
• Usage of the internal memory or
• Usage of an external memory module.
• We recommend the usage of the External Memory module EM6100 as data
source.
• The usage of the internal memory as configuration data storage can only be
approved when customers have and maintain an own data base memory.
• It is a condition to store the current configuration data in the customer data
base memory.
2.8.1. Configuration of BXT6513-(0XX) with EM module
The configuration parameters of the BXT6513-(0XX) with EM module can be set via two ways:
• CANbus interface at BXT6513-(0XX) to program EM6100 which is connected to
BXT6513-(0XX) via "CANbus Kit".
• Program EM6100 by PC directly via "EMP Kit".
Detailed information are available in "EMP Extended Memory Programmer User Manual" and "ARINC 826 Data Loader
Manual", please see “Order Code”, “Available Documentation” page 26.
2.8.2. Configuration of BXT6513-(0XX) with internal memory
• The usage of the internal memory as configuration data storage can only be
approved when customers have and maintain an own data base memory.
• It is a condition to store the current configuration data in the customer data
base memory.
• In case the internal memory is used a service connector needs to be placed at a
suitable place inside the aircraft to be able to configure the device without
removing it.
