1.1. INTRODUCTION.
This publication provides all the specifications, principles of operation, and information necessary to install, test, and troubleshoot
the TSS-4100 Traffic Surveillance System (TSS). The three major functions of the TSS-4100 follow:
• The TSS-4100 is a Mode S transponder that replies to directed and all-call interrogations.
• The TSS-4100 is a Traffic Alert Collision Avoidance System (TCAS) II, change 7 unit. It monitors the area around the aircraft
for potential airspace conflicts.
• When enabled, the TSS-4100 is also an Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast (ADS-B) transmitter/receiver unit. It trans-
mits the aircraft position, velocity, and identification. It also processes the transmissions of other ADS-B equipped aircraft.

system components 523-0809018
Make sure that the aircraft battery master switch is turned off before installing any equipment, mounts, or inter-
connect cables. Failure to do so could irradiate the installer.
The TDR-94D ATC/Mode S transponder requires two ANT-42 antennas. One ANT-42 L-Band Antenna is mounted on top of the
fuselage and the second ANT-42 antenna is mounted on the bottom of the fuselage. All antennas should be mounted in a location
that keeps the interconnecting coaxial cables as short as practicable.
2.4.4.1. Installation. The procedure to install the ANT-42 follows (Refer to Paragraph 2.12.5.1.3 for instructions on antenna
placement relative to other antennas):
a. Verify interconnect cabling before proceeding.
b. Connect the connector to the ANT-42 antenna and position the Antenna on the fuselage.
c. Secure with three mounting screws. No. 8 Stainless steel flat head screws are recommended. Zinc, cadmium plated, or alu-
minum alloy screws are not recommended.
d. Apply any weather/aerodynamic fillet of sealant to the periphery of the antenna and shape as necessary. The height of the bead
should not exceed 2.5 mm (0.1 in).
2.4.4.2. Removal. The procedure to remove the ANT-42 follows:
a. Remove sealant around periphery of the ANT-42 antenna.
Do not allow the antenna to hang from cable. Allowing the antenna to hang from the cable could damage the
connector.

Make sure that the aircraft battery master switch is turned off before installing any equipment, mounts, or inter-
connect cables. Failure to do so can damage the equipment.
The unit should be mounted on a vertical surface. Other mounting orientations may be acceptable upon confir-
mation by engineering. Mounting on a horizontal surface with the connector facing up is not acceptable, and can
cause operational failure or damage to the ECU due to water that does not drain out.
For installations with a TSS, the maximum length of each wire between the TSS and the ECU should be one meter
to avoid potentially damaging currents.
NOTE
Refer to the ECU-3000 outline and mounting diagram Figure 2-6 for further instructions. Refer to Table 2-3 for
specific mating connector and contact information.

NOTE
The term CONTROLLER refers to any transponder control unit, such as an Radio Tuning Unit (RTU), a Transpon-
der Control (CTL), or a Control Display Unit (CDU). Buses and discretes are followed in parentheses by the spe-
cific bus name shown in the example illustration, Figure 2-7.
Refer to Figure 2-7. This sheet shows a typical transponder system, and the external signals to and from the Transponder (TDR).
Operating power is derived from the +28 V dc avionics triple-fed bus supply.
2.7.1.1. The TDR is controlled by an ARINC standard transponder controller such as an RTU or a CDU. A controller provides the
transponder state (STANDBY, ALTITUDE REPORTING OFF, ALTITUDE REPORTING ON), the flight ID, the squawk code, the
selected altitude, and TCAS control data.
2.7.1.2. Either two or three ARINC 429 low-speed control busses may be routed to the TDR containing control and altitude data.
The on-side data comes to Control Port B. The cross side data comes to Control Port A. An optional back up third controller comes
to Control Port C. The microprocessor reads the discrete (RTU PORT A/B SELECT, P2-57) and selects the active port. Normally,
port B is selected and the TDR is tuned by the on-side controller (RTU). When the reversion switch (RTU1 INHB) is set to inhibit, a
ground is applied to pin P2-57, which selects port A of the right side controller (RTU) tune data. When the reversion switch (RTU2
INHB) is also set to inhibit, a ground (BURST TUNE ENABLE) is applied to pin P2-59, which selects port C (IAPS) burst tune
data.
2.7.1.3. The TCAS/transponder cross talk busses (TSS-TX and TDR-XT busses) are used for coordination between the TCAS
function of the TSS and the TDR.
2.7.1.4. The Mode S address is set by rear connector strapping (P1-33 through P1-56) and is unique for each aircraft.
2.7.1.5. The main transponder output bus (TDR-1) outputs maintenance data and echoes selected control data.
2.7.1.6. The TDR-94D operates with two antennas to provide traffic air-to-air capability. The 1030 Hz interrogation input is
received on either or both L-band antennas, low-pass filtered, and applied through diversity and transmit/receive switches to the
front-end receiver. The diversity switch is not used in receive mode. The transmit/receive switch connects the antennas to the re-
ceiver (not the transmitter) in receive mode.
2.7.1.7. The TDR responds to Air Traffic Control Radar Beacon System (ATCRBS) and Mode S All-Call interrogations.
2.7.1.8. The TDR also responds to selective Mode S interrogations. These interrogations use the transponder Mode S address.
This mode allows the air traffic controller to identify each aircraft by tail number. It is also used by the traffic surveillance system
for air-to-air communication with a cooperating aircraft.
2.7.1.9. A suppression pulse (P1-29) is generated while the TDR is transmitting a response to an interrogation. This pulse is
intended to inhibit the receivers in other L-band radios, such as the TSS and the DME. These other radios also generate a suppression
pulse while they are transmitting. While this is active the TDR will inhibit its replies.

2.8.6.6. The data bus input through an ARINC 429 high-speed receiver to the third input UART is read from the UART by the
microprocessor.
2.8.6.7. The processor reads the discrete inputs through two buffer circuits. The first buffer provides the input port A/B select
logic, strut switch logic, source identification logic, maximum airspeed logic, altitude input logic, and TCAS installed logic.
2.8.6.8. Parallel data is output from the microprocessor to the output UARTs. Both UARTs are enabled by the processor to decode
and transmit serial data.
2.8.6.9. The TDR is interrogated by the 3-pulse Side-Lobe-Suppression (SLS) method. The TDR-94D operates with one antenna
to provide TCAS air-to-air capability. The 1030-MHz interrogation input is received on the L-band antenna, low-pass filtered,
and applied through the transmit/receive switch to the front end receiver. The transmit/receive switch connects the antennas to the
receiver, but not the transmitter, in receive mode.
2.8.6.10. The front end receiver is a dual 1030-MHz bandpass filter that rejects images and spurious responses. The two filtered
rf inputs are then independently mixed with a 1090-MHz injection frequency from the synthesizer. This local oscillator frequency is
programmed by the microprocessor using latched data, clock, and enable logic. The two resultant 60-MHz if signals are amplified
and applied to the Differential Phase Shift Keying (DPSK) detector and the video processor.
2.8.6.11. The DPSK detector is a part of the receiver circuit that senses phase reversals present in mode-S interrogations. The
DPSK detector outputs are applied to the Pulse Amplitude Modulation (PAM) decoder. The video processor monitors the received
signal strengths and generates video signals to the PAM decoder.
2.8.6.12. The PAM decoder and a dedicated video microprocessor function together as an interrogation processor. This circuit
processes the video inputs to determine if the received interrogation is a valid ATCRBS or Mode-S interrogation. If a response
is required, the processor determines if the top or the bottom antenna should be used for the reply. The processor then enables the
transmit mode and generates the proper response. The TCAS generated collision avoidance transmit data is input to the interrogation
processor through the dual port RAM.
2.8.6.13. When transmit mode is enabled by the interrogation processor, INT SUPRN logic activates the suppression amplifier and
XMT ENBL logic activates the transmit enable driver. During transmit mode, the suppression amplifier momentarily inhibits other
L-band units, described in a later paragraph. During transmit mode, the enable driver closes the transmit/receive switch. This isolates
the receiver and connects the transmitter to the selected antenna. The interrogation processor generates the ATCRBS or Mode-S
reply output and top/bottom antenna select logic. This response is applied through a multiplexer to the rf transmit modulator.
2.8.6.14. The 1090-MHz transmitter circuit consists of an rf modulator and a power amplifier. The rf modulator receives operating
power from the high-voltage power supply. This power supply provides the voltage levels required for L-band transmission. A
current monitor disables both the rf modulator and the High-Voltage (HV) supply if the current draw or power output becomes
excessive. An HV power monitor provides a high-power monitor output through a buffer to the main microprocessor.
2.8.6.15. The reply output from the interrogation processor controls the modulator bias applied to the power amplifier. The power
amplifier is driven by a 1090-MHz CW signal generated by the synthesizer. The ON/OFF BIAS from the modulator causes the
power amplifier to generate a corresponding pulse train output, at the 1090-MHz drive frequency. This rf reply output is a series of
pulses, the number and spacing of which is determined by the ATC code plus a trailing IDENT pulse, if selected, and the operating
mode. The pulse transmission is applied through the closed transmit/receive switch and radiated out the antenna. The transmit signal
is sampled by a forward power monitor, which provides a low-power monitor output through a buffer to the processor.
2.8.6.16. A suppression amplifier generates a blanking pulse output when the interrogation processor selects transmit mode.

NOTE
If the TRE-930 or any other omni-directional antenna is used, the option for antenna monitoring in the aircraft
configuration portion of the ECU must be enabled. The TSS uses antenna monitoring to determine that there is
only a single connection on the bottom of the aircraft. If antenna monitoring is off, the TSS will assume that
there is a directional antenna on the bottom of the aircraft. If antenna monitoring is off, any TSS antenna port not
connected to an antenna may cause a failure of the TSS transmitter or receiver.
The TRE is an L-band omnidirectional antenna. The TRE radiates and receives L-band signals in an omnidirectional pattern.

2.10.4.2. The recommended requirements to facilitate the certification of the TCAS, transponder, and related antenna system on
an aircraft are below:
• It is recommended that the system be certified as operational, at a minimum, between -55 and 80 ºC.
• It is recommended that the system have a Voltage-Standing Wave Ratio (VSWR) of 1.5 to 1 or less, for 1000 to 1100 MHz.
• It is recommended that the system be compliant with TSO-C119. Specifically, it is recommended that the antenna comply with
the requirement in Section 2.2.4.7.2.1 of DO-185A. This requires that the gain of an omnidirectional wave pattern not be less
than the gain of a matched quarter-wave stub, minus one dB, over 90% of a coverage volume from 0 to 360 degrees in azimuth,
and -15 to +20 degrees in elevation.
Make sure that the aircraft battery master switch is turned off before installing any equipment, mounts, or inter-
connect cables.

2.12.4.1. The ECU contains settings based on the type and length of cable used (refer to Table 2-2). The antenna coaxial-cable
loss is calculated by multiplying the loss factor of the cable used by the length of the cable. The coaxial cable delay is calculated by
subtracting the amount of delay from the antenna that is closer to the TSS from the amount of delay from the antenna that is further
away from the TSS. The cable delay sign bit is simply a way to determine which antenna is further away from the TSS. Adding the
delay to the bottom antenna means that the bottom antenna is closer to the TSS.
2.12.4.2. The TSA-4100 directional antenna requires four antenna cables. Unlike other TCAS antennas, the TSA-4100/TSS-4100
combination does not require the four cables to be in phase. The requirements for the four cables are:
• They are of the same type.
• They are within .3 m (12 in) of length of each other (so cable delay difference between the cables is minimized).
• They are within 0.5 dB of loss of each other (including loss due to the connectors. This is so the Coaxial Cable Loss is the same
for all of the cables to the same antenna).
Make sure that the aircraft battery master switch is turned off before installing any equipment, mounts, or inter-
connect cables.
One TSA-4100 Traffic Surveillance Antenna is mounted on top of the fuselage and the second antenna, either another TSA-4100 or
an omnidirectional antenna, is mounted on the bottom of the fuselage. All antennas should be mounted in a location that keeps the
interconnecting coaxial cables as short as practicable.
2.12.5.1. Antenna Placement. One TSA-4100 is mounted on top of the aircraft fuselage. Another TSA-4100 or an omnidirec-
tional antenna is mounted on the bottom.
2-49
system components 523-0809018
2.12.5.1.1. Place the antennas, especially the top antenna, as forward as possible on the aircraft fuselage. Make sure there are as
few obstructions as possible between the antenna and the front of the aircraft.
2.12.5.1.2. Make sure that the lateral deviation between the top and bottom antenna is less than 25 feet. This is to make sure that
both antennas receive and reply to an interrogation at about the same time.
2.12.5.1.3. Separate the antennas as much as possible from other antennas. The minimum distances from a TSS or TDR antenna,
to another type of antenna, are specified below:
• To an ADF antenna, 2 feet
• To a VHF antenna, 5 feet
• To an L-band antenna, 30 inches (approximately 20 dB isolation).
NOTE
Other L-band antennas include the DME, TDR, and TSS antennas.
2.12.5.1.4. Make sure that the tilt angle both in the longitudinal and in the latitudinal directions are as close to parallel to the
horizon as possible. Refer to Figure 2-17 for limitations on mounting the antenna.

e. Use four mounting screws to secure the antenna. Stainless-steel socket head-cap screws are recommended. Zinc, cadmium-
plated, or aluminum-alloy screws are not recommended.
f. Tighten the screws to almost contact with the bearing surface, and then torque to 25 ±5 lb in.
g. Apply any weather/aerodynamic fillet of sealant to the periphery of the antenna, and shape it as necessary. The height of the
bead should not exceed 2.5 mm (0.1 in).
h. Install the four foam-rubber plugs, CPN 676-3291-002, in the antenna mounting holes. Push them down below the antenna
surface. Cover the plugs with a layer of Dow Corning gray RTV-3145 (CPN 005-1531-010, or three 3 oz collapsible tubes, or
CPN 005-2531-030 for one 11 oz cartridge), or equivalent sealant. Feather sealant over mounting holes and remove any excess
sealant.
2.12.5.3. Removal. To remove a directional antenna, follow the steps below:
a. Remove the sealant from mounting holes and around periphery of the TSA-4100 Antenna.
b. Remove the foam plugs from the antenna mounting holes.
c. Remove the four mounting screws from the antenna. Do not allow the antenna to hang from cables.
d. Disconnect connectors P1, P2, P3, or P4 from the antenna.

system components 523-0809018
2.13.1.1. A pilot may put his own aircraft’s transponder into one of three modes: standby, on with altitude reporting off, or on
with altitude reporting on. TCAS may also be put into one of three modes: standby, TA Only, or TA/RA. TCAS interrogates the
transponders of other aircraft to gather the altitude, range, relative speed, and bearing of those aircraft. The altitude, range, and
bearing information is then passed along to a display so that it can be shown to the pilots.
2.13.1.2. If TCAS determines that one of those other aircraft is going to be a potential threat, then it issues a TA (Traffic Advisory).
This is noted by a TRAFFIC, TRAFFIC aural and a visual annunciation on the display. The icon representing the offending aircraft
is changed as well.
2.13.1.3. If TCAS believes that a collision is possible, it will issue an RA (Resolution Advisory). This resolution advisory will
advise the pilot to climb, descend, or maintain the current vertical rate. This information will be related aurally and via a visual
annunciation on the display. Again, the icon representing the offending aircraft is changed. If an RA is issued and both aircraft are
TCAS equipped, then the TCAS and transponder of both aircraft coordinate which aircraft goes up and which goes down. The TSS
may use either its internal transponder or an external TDR-94D in order to perform this coordination.
2.13.1.4. Automatic Dependant Surveillance - Broadcast (ADS-B) allows for traffic information to be made available without
interrogations. If enabled, the transponder function of the TSS takes own aircraft position, velocity, track, and flight ID information
and makes it available at a periodic basis for anyone to receive. Either a ground station or another aircraft may read this information
and use it for one of many defined applications. If enabled, a TSS will merge the ADS-B messages it receives with TCAS targets
and send them to a display as one data block.
2.13.1.5. The TSM-4100 is a standard 4 Modular Concept Unit (MCU) mount with a fan that can be controlled and monitored.
The Traffic Surveillance Mount (TSM) has a discrete line in that turns on and off the fan. The TSM also has a line out which contains
a signal wave form that indicates the speed of the fan. The TSS uses this output to determine if the fan has failed by checking the
speed against a predetermined threshold.

RF switch include fixed-gain, low-noise amplifiers and band-pass filtering. Each of the eight antenna ports feeds a separate receiver
path. The receiver circuits down-convert the band-pass filtered L-band frequencies provided through the switch card to intermediate
frequencies, provide additional filtering and provide receiver gain. There are 16 parallel transponder receiver paths; eight each high
and low gain. There are four parallel TCAS receiver channels, with switchable high/low gain. These 16 Transponder and four TCAS
signals become 20 parallel high speed Analog to Digital Converter channels to the signal processor circuit card. The TSS design
also supports a 5 antenna port installation where top ports one thru four are connected to a directional antenna and bottom port 1 is
connected to an omni-directional antenna. Bottom ports two thru four would not be used in this configuration. The signal processing
circuits correlate and track the replies of Mode S and Mode C transponders for the TSS-4100 TCAS function. The signal processing
circuits use these replies to calculate intruder aircraft range, altitude and bearing. From this calculation, the signal processing circuits
also develop resolution and traffic advisory data. Resolution Advisories (RA) and Traffic Advisories (TA) are sent to the aural and
visual displays. The signal processing circuits also receive and prepare responses to ATCRBS and Mode S interrogations for the
TSS-4100 transponder function.
2.14.7.4. Traffic Transmitter Assembly. The traffic transmitter module consists of a modulator circuit card and a power am-
plifier circuit card. The Traffic Transmitter Module receives serial frequency tuning data and a set of digital commands from the
digital signal processor that specify the desired pulses to be sent. The modulator circuit card then generates the appropriate ACAS
Differential Phase Shift Keying (DPSK) modulation, Mode-C whisper shout, or transponder interrogation output that will be sent to
the ATC/ACAS antenna. The modulator card implements a power control loop so that the drive to the power amplifier is varied to
achieve the desired output power. Modulation is produced in a quadrature modulator, allowing amplitude only (pulse), PPM, and
the PSK waveform to be produced. The modulator drive level changes on a 16.667 nsec (60.000 MHz) clock, allowing tight control
of the rise and fall times of the pulse. The power amplifier circuit amplifies the transmit signals before the signals are sent through
the RF switch to the antenna.
2.14.7.5. TSS-4100 Cooling Considerations. Because the TSS-4100 was tested without the TSM-4100 for the loss of cooling
test, the TSS-4100 must be installed with cooling. If the TSM-4100 is not used, equivalent cooling must be supplied or a thermal
analysis of the installation must be done to show that the TSS-4100 will remain within its operating temperature range (-55 to +80
degrees C).
2.14.7.5.1. If the traffic module of the TSS detects that the transmitter is getting too hot, the TSS-4100 will put itself into standby
and declare itself failed.

Operation
3.1. INTRODUCTION.
NOTE
This section is not intended to be a pilot’s guide, but is written to provide a basic knowledge and understanding of
operating procedures for this system. For detailed data about the controls and displays of a specific airplane, refer
to the Operator's Guide for that airplane.
Line Replaceable Units (LRU) with specific controls and displays are described in this section. However, the
Traffic Surveillance System (TSS) can be controlled by any Transponder (TDR) / Traffic Alert Collision Avoid-
ance System (TCAS) control unit, and TCAS traffic. Also, Traffic Advisory (TA) / Resolution Advisory (RA)
information can be shown by any ARINC 735A standard display.
Only basic controls and indicators, plus those related to TRAFFIC operation, are discussed in this manual.
This section shows the typical operating controls and displays of a Traffic Surveillance System. Tables describe each control or
display in sufficient detail so that the flight-line technician can operate the equipment and troubleshoot the complete system.
3.2. GENERAL.
This chapter of the Traffic Surveillance System installation manual contains examples and a description of the controls and indicators
listed below:
• Traffic Display on an Adaptive Flight Display (AFD)
• RA Displays on an AFD
• Top Level Radio Page on a Radio Tuning Unit (RTU) or a Control Display Unit (CDU)
• TCAS Control Page on an RTU or CDU

DISPLAY FUNCTION/DESCRIPTION
Refer to Figure 3-1.
TRAFFIC map The TSS traffic symbology is available for display on the display. Push the Traffic (TFC) line
select key to show the TSS traffic overlay on the Horizontal Situation Indicator (HSI), arc,
or Present Position (PPOS) Map formats. This map is a dynamic, heading-up pictorial that
shows nearby transponder-equipped aircraft. This screen shows traffic symbols that alert the
crew to potential and predicted collision threats. A traffic only format, along with the standard
traffic overlay option, is available from the PPOS Map using either a LOWER FORMAT or
the TFC line select key. The traffic only format erases all non-traffic symbols.
TRAFFIC RANGE Three range rings provide a distance measuring scale. These rings show distance from the
RINGS aircraft. Turn the RANGE knob on the Display Control Panel (DCP) to select the desired
full-scale display range. The outer ring is a full-intensity circle with a tic mark every 30
degrees. This ring represents the selected full-scale range. A numeric distance label shows
by the outer range ring. The middle ring is a half-intensity circle with a tic mark every 30
degrees. This ring marks the half-scale range (not shown when full-scale range is 5 miles).
The inner ring consists of (only) tic marks every 30 degrees. This ring normally marks a range
of 3 miles, but blanks when the full-scale range is more than 25 miles.
INTRUDER AIRCRAFT INTRUDER AIRCRAFT are shown with an INTRUDER SYMBOL, Altitude (ALT) DATA,
and a VS ARROW.
INTRUDER SYMBOL Four kinds of intruder aircraft symbols may show.
NOTE
If a Traffic Advisory (TA) or TCAS Resolution Advisory (RA) intruder is detected that
is beyond the selected display range, (only) half of the TA or RA traffic symbol shows.
This half-symbol appears on the outer ring at the appropriate bearing.
• The cyan open-diamond symbol shows an aircraft that is in the protected air space volume,
but is not considered to be a collision threat.
• The cyan solid-diamond symbol is a proximate traffic symbol. This symbol shows an aircraft
that is nearby (<1200 feet relative altitude), but not close enough to be considered advisory
traffic.
• The yellow solid-circle is a TA traffic symbol. This is a traffic advisory that means the in-
truder aircraft is a potential threat.
• The red solid-square is an RA traffic symbol. This is a resolution advisory that means the
intruder aircraft is an immediate threat. Take corrective or preventive action to maintain
minimum air space separation. RA traffic symbols are shown only with traffic.
VS ARROW If the vertical trend rate of the intruder is greater than 500 feet per minute, the VS arrow
shows. The arrow points up if the intruder is climbing, and down if descending.

DISPLAY FUNCTION/DESCRIPTION
TRAFFIC MODE The traffic mode display shows the traffic altitude above/below limits selected, the aircraft
DISPLAY altitude, and other traffic selected off. This window defines a zone of vertical air space relative
to the aircraft. Intruders into this zone are tracked and considered potential threats. Four
selections are possible, and the selected option on the CDU is enlarged.
• NORM: The protection window is 2700 feet above and 2700 feet below the aircraft.
• ABOVE: The protection window is 9900 feet above and 2700 feet below the aircraft.
• BELOW: The protection window is 2700 feet above and 9900 feet below the aircraft.
• ABOVE/BELOW: The protection window is 9900 feet above and 9900 feet below the air-
craft.
When Absolute (ABS) altitude is selected, the airplane absolute altitude shows in hundreds of
feet. This field is blank when Relative (REL) altitude is selected.
AIRPLANE SYMBOL This symbol is a reference that represents the airplane. This symbol is used to visualize the
relative positions of intruder aircraft. The airplane symbol is stationary and always shows in
the center of the screen. Intruder traffic symbols show and move about the screen as long
as valid bearing information is received, and the aircraft is within the selected range and
relative altitude window.
TRAFFIC Push the TFC line select key to add or remove the traffic overlay from the arc or present
ANNUNCIATOR position map formats. The selected traffic operating mode annunciates below the TFC
annunciator. Select the traffic mode from the TRAFFIC CONTROL page on the CDU or
Radio Tuning Unit (RTU). When TA/RA mode is selected, the TFC annunciator field is blank.
TA and RA symbols may show. TA/RA mode is inhibited when the aircraft is on the ground.
When Standby (STBY) mode is selected, TRAFFIC OFF (or TCAS OFF) annunciates in
white. When TA mode is selected, TA ONLY annunciates in white (no intruders) or flashes
yellow (TA intruder detected). RA symbols are not shown in this mode. TRAFFIC FAIL (or
TCAS FAIL) annunciates if the display is not receiving the TRAFFIC bus. TRAFFIC TEST
(or TCAS TEST) annunciates when the TSS is in test mode.
No bearing table This two line table, shown below the TRAFFIC operating mode, automatically shows when
the TSS detects an RA or TA intruder, but does not receive valid bearing information. This
table shows data for the first two TA/RA intruders for which bearing information is not
available. Each line lists the RA/TA advisory type, distance/altitude, and a VS trend arrow (if
trend is more than 500 feet/minute). The lines are red (RA) or yellow (TA).

RA Fly-To Commands
NOTE
The message TRAFFIC shows in red below the vertical speed scale on the PFD when the
system detects RA traffic. The message shows in yellow below the vertical speed scale
when the system detects TA traffic.
RA vertical speed fly-to commands show on the PFD vertical speed scale when in TA/RA
mode and a traffic conflict exists. The fly-to commands show as red and green bands. To
comply with an RA, avoid flying vertical speeds within the red-banded areas and do fly the
vertical speeds within the green-banded areas.
There are two types of RAs that show on the PFD, preventive and corrective. These are
described below:
• Preventive RAs are issued for threat traffic for which the TSS has determined current vertical
speed will resolve the threat situation. The vertical speed range to avoid shows in red on the
PFD vertical speed scale.
• Corrective RAs are issued for threat traffic for which the TSS has determined that corrective
action needs to be taken to avoid the traffic. The vertical speed range to seek (green) and
avoid (red) shows on the PFD vertical speed scale. Aural commands are issued over the
cockpit audio system.
Refer to Figure 3-3 for an illustration of RA pitch cues on an attitude indicator.

DISPLAY FUNCTION/DESCRIPTION
RA Pitch Cues, Attitude The TCAS Resolution Advisory (RA) pitch cues are shown on the PFD attitude indicator. The
Indicator pitch cues advise the pilot of the pitch attitude that is necessary to satisfy a vertical RA.
RA cues are issued by the TSS when aircraft corrective maneuvering is required in order to
avoid a potential collision. The pitch cues are shown as red avoidance zones and green fly to
zones. A yellow NO ATT RA message is shown in the TCAS data field when RA pitch cues
cannot be computed or if pitch data is not in view on the PFD. The pitch cues are disabled
when an excessive attitude condition exists. When any data required to compute pitch cues is
invalid, the pitch cues are removed.
The two types of RA cues that can be issued by the TSS are preventative and corrective.

CHAPTER 4
Maintenance
4.1. INTRODUCTION.
NOTE
Use the flight line maintenance procedures as customer acceptance test procedures by interconnecting the equip-
ment on the bench using the equivalent of an aircraft interconnect harness and appropriate sensor data sources.
Throughout these procedures the term Traffic Control is intended to apply to any traffic control Line Replaceable
Unit (LRU).
The term Traffic Surveillance System applies to the entire traffic system. The abbreviation TSS-4100 applies to
the LRU.
Throughout these procedures, the term Traffic Display refers to whatever traffic display device is present in the
installation. This can be a single or dual VSI/Resolution Advisory (RA)/TA display like the TVI-920D, an Elec-
tronic Flight Instrument System (EFIS) display like an MFD-3010E, or a combination of these or other traffic
displays.
This section contains the procedures necessary to assure proper post-installation system operation.
4.1.1. Flight Line Maintenance.
The flight line maintenance procedures assist the flight line technician in isolating a reported failure to a given LRU. Therefore, the
instructions in this series favor a higher probability of traffic surveillance system equipment failure. Faulty units then can be tested
and repaired with the bench procedures given in the associated unit repair manual.
4.1.2. Automatic Testing.
The traffic surveillance system incorporates automatic testing routines (Built-In Test Equipment (BITE)) in the TSS-4100 Trans-
mitter/Receiver to check the operational integrity of the system. Monitoring of system functions is continuous during operation.
Testing may be initiated manually via the traffic control LRU, or by pushing the TEST switch on the front panel of the TSS-4100.
If a system failure is detected during operation or after initiating test, an indicator illuminates on the TSS-4100 front panel and a red
Traffic Alert Collision Avoidance System (TCAS) System flag displays on the TCAS display. Refer to the Operation chapter of this
manual for a description of front panel control and indicators.

NOTE
Observe all warnings and cautions listed in the advisories paragraph of this manual and the Collins Avionics Stan-
dard Shop Practices Manual.
This section presents the special instructions necessary for cleaning the traffic surveillance system equipment. For standard cleaning
instructions, the technician should follow the instructions outlined in the Collins Avionics Standard Shop Practices Manual, Collins
Part Number (CPN) 523-0768039.
4.2.2. Cleaning Indicators.
There are no indicators coming from any part of the Traffic Surveillance System to indicate necessary cleaning.
4.2.3. Cleaning Antennas.
Do not paint the antenna surface. Do not attempt to touch up the silk screening with paint.
Do not use cleaning solvents on the antennas.
NOTE
Refer to TRE-920 Service Information Letter 1-95, Radome Paint Peeling, for cleaning the TSA-4100 or TRE-930.

maintenance 523-0809018
NOTE
The TSS-4100 (hardware only) and TSSA-4100 (software only) are separate top level part numbers. Both must
be maintained as part numbers on the aircraft.
The TDR and TTR top level part numbers are different. Each includes both software, and hardware, components.
4-3
maintenance 523-0809018
4.4.1.1. If the bus speeds are configured differently in the ECU than what is listed in Table 4-1, follow the following steps in order
to load data.
a. Disconnect the cable from the ECU.
b. Power cycle the TSS-4100. This forces the TSS to use the default speeds listed in Table 4-1.
c. Reconnect the cable to the ECU.
d. Start the data load process as normal. The data load software always uses the default bus speeds. The bus speeds in the ECU
are ignored once the data load process has begun.
4.4.2. TSS Data Loading.
The TSSA-4100 and the ECU files are field loadable. Rockwell Collins has tested the TSS data load procedure using the ARINC
615-3 data loaders shown in Table 4-2. It is recommended that one of these data loaders, or an upgraded version of one of these data
loaders, is used to load the Traffic Surveillance System Application (TSSA) or the ECU.
4.4.2.1. The TSS may be data loaded using one of two input buses and one of three output buses. Loading must be done using the
default speed of the bus. Refer to Table 4-1 for bus names, pin numbers, and bus speeds. Refer to Table 4-2 for a list of the data
loaders that the TSS-4100 has been tested with. Most standard ARINC 615-3/4 compatible data loaders should be able to interface to
the TSS-4100. No special adaptor is called out for the TSS-4100. See the specifications of the applicable data loader for information
on the mating connector to be used.
4.4.2.2. The TSS-4100 needs one of the following sets of requirements in order to enter data load mode:
4-4
maintenance 523-0809018
OR
• Set the SDI code of the unit to right or left. • Set the SDI code of the unit is set to indeterminate
• Make sure the airspeed and ground speed are each (neither of the SDI pins are grounded).
less than 40 kts. • Make sure the Data Load Enable discrete (RMP-
10K) is grounded.
• Make sure the Data Load Enable discrete (RMP-
10K) is grounded. • Make sure the Shop Mode Enable discrete (RMP-
6A) is grounded.
• Make sure one of the air ground discretes is
grounded. • Make sure the TSS-4100 receives an ARINC label
• Make sure the TSS-4100 receives an ARINC label with a data load request.
with a data load request. The TSS uses ARINC label
027 as the data load input label and sends label 226
as the data load output label.
4.4.2.3. Refer to Figure 4-1. To make sure that the TSSA has been loaded correctly, look at the electronic nameplate being sent
to the maintenance system. Refer to Paragraph 4.4.3 for data about the TSS electronic nameplate, and for what needs to be verified
after a TSSA or ECU media set data load.
4-5
maintenance 523-0809018
4.4.3.1. The top section of the electronic nameplate (lines 1 - 10) contains information regarding the TSSA-4100 software. When
the software is updated, make sure the items that follow:
• CPN – this is the top level software part number for the TSSA loaded
• CRC32-SysIO – this is a Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC) on the first of two load sets that are part of the TSSA-4100
• CRC32-SysIO – this is a CRC on the second of two load sets that are part of the TSSA-4100.
4.4.3.2. The second section of the electronic nameplate (lines 12 - 15) contains data about the ECU connected to the TSS-4100.
4.4.3.2.1. When the ECU is properly connected to the TSS-4100, the hardware part number of the ECU is shown. If the ECU is
incorrectly formatted for the TSS or is not properly connected, the hardware part number will be shown as INVALID.
4.4.3.2.2. The second and third lines of the ECU portion of the electronic nameplate show the aircraft configuration that is loaded
into the ECU. If there is not an aircraft configuration loaded, or if the load is invalid, both the LOADED CONFIG PN and CRC32-
AIRCRAFT CONFIG line of the aircraft configuration are INVALID. When a valid aircraft configuration file is loaded into the ECU,
the part number and the CRC must be compared against the part number and CRC provided with the configuration file.
4.4.3.2.3. The last line of the ECU portion of the electronic nameplate shows the Mode S address stored within the ECU. The
Mode S address is shown in octal. Do not use this display of the Mode S address to verify a changed Mode S address. Instead, use
a transponder test set such as the IFR-6000 to verify a changed Mode S address.
4.4.3.3. The third section of the electronic nameplate (lines 17+) contains some information about the TSS-4100 hardware. This
is reported as a convenience only and is not to be used for official record keeping. The official part number, serial number, and list
of installed service bulletins are on the physical TSS-4100 nameplates.

maintenance 523-0809018
g. Enter the Mode S Address. If entering in octal, the entered is eight digits between 0 and 7. If entering in hexadecimal, the
entered value is 6 characters, each character being either a single digit (0 – 9), or a letter A thru F.
NOTE
If there are not enough characters for the selected base, zeroes (0s) will be added to the beginning of the value
entered.
h. Push the PROGRAM button and wait for up to a minute. The system will attempt to send the new Mode S address to the
TSS-4100. If the process completes incorrectly, an error message will appear in the Display Log. If the process completes
correctly, the TSS-4100 will reset itself. Allow the TSS-4100 to complete its power up sequence.
i. Push the QUERY button. Make sure that the Mode S address displayed is the newly programmed address.
NOTE
This is not an approved way to officially verify the current Mode S address setting.
j. Select the TSS-4100 as the active transponder. Make sure that there is no annunciation of a transponder failure. Interrogate the
TSS-4100 using a test set (such as the IFR-6000), and verify the Mode S Address.
k. Turn off the power to the TSS-4100.
l. Remove the cross-over cable from the TSS-4100.
m. Slide the cover back onto the front panel of the TSS-4100 and tighten the screws.
4.5.6. Programming Tool Overview.
Figure 4-6 shows a screen shot of the TSS-4100 Mode S Address Programming Tool. The description of the screen shot follows:
1. Octal / Hexadecimal: Radio buttons used to change between Octal and Hex just by clicking on the radio button with the
appropriate base for ease of readability. This affects both the input and the output.
2. Mode S Address: Text box in which to enter a Mode S address. If octal is selected, only the characters 0 – 7 are accepted.
If hexadecimal is selected, only the characters 0 – 9 and A – F are accepted.
3. Current Mode S: Text field that shows the Mode S address currently being used by the TSS-4100. This is only populated
after the Query button is pushed. This output is either in octal or in hexadecimal based on the current setting.
NOTE
The Current Mode S field is for informational use only. This is not an approved way to officially verify the
current Mode S Address setting. Checking the reported Mode S Address from the reply to an interrogation
of the TSS-4100 (using a test set such as the IFR-6000) is the appropriate way to verify the Mode S address.
4. Program Button: This button makes the programming tool attempt to program a new Mode S address into the TSS-4100.
5. Query Button: Button that causes the Programming Tool to obtain and display the Mode S address currently being used by
the TSS-4100. Pushing this button populates the Current Mode S text field. Pushing this button also causes a comparison
between the value in the Mode S address text field and the value in the Current Mode S text field.
6. Display Log: Log of communications between the TSS-4100 and the programming tool.
7. File: Three options are available under File: an option that replicates the functionality of the Program Button, an option that
replicates the functionality of the Query Button, and an option to exit the programming tool.
8. System: Two options are available under System: an option to view and change the target port and IP address, and an
option to view and change the IP address of the PC or laptop in use. These options are described in the Setup section of
these instructions.
4-10
maintenance 523-0809018
9. Help: Two options are available under Help: an option to view programming tool version information and an option
to view these instructions.
10. Match Indicator: After pushing the Query Button, there will be an indication here if the address in the Mode S address box
matches the Current Mode S box. If they match it will be green; if they do not match it will be red.
NOTE
Refer to the system pilot guide or the operation section of the system installation manual for displays indicators
and data.

(14) Reset the system so that each PFD is using its primary ADC source. Select the off side transponder as the active transpon-
der. Make sure that the system operates normally.
4.8.6. Range and Bearing Test.
Perform this test when there is pilot complaint suggesting a problem that is related to bearing accuracy. Run this test with an IFR-
6000 or other equivalent TCAS test set.
a. When testing the top antenna, monitor the TCAS display in the cockpit of the aircraft. Set the viewed range to 10 NM.
b. Set the Traffic Surveillance System aircraft simulated altitude below 400 ft agl. This automatically disables Mode C interroga-
tions (Mode S is still enabled) from the bottom antenna.
c. Set the test set parameters as follows:
(1) Altitude: Same as Traffic Surveillance System aircraft altitude
(2) Range: 8 nmi. Make sure a stationary PT symbol shows on the display. Make sure the PT symbol is at a relative bearing
that is equivalent to the bearing to the test set.
(3) VS: 0
(4) Rate: 0.
d. If a tarmac clock pattern (as shown in Figure 4-9) or a compass rose is available, use it as a reference to position the test set. If
not, position the TCAS test set at 45° intervals around the airplane and make sure that the displayed PT-symbol bearing agrees
with the bearing to the test set. Use two technicians if possible: one moves the test set around the aircraft, the other one watches
the display. The symbol moves about the aircraft symbol with no dropouts and no deviations in bearing that are more than 15
degrees. The center of the rose should be the TCAS antenna, not the center of the airplane. It is not required to test behind the
aircraft.
NOTE
Watch for large and constant bearing errors. An occasional bearing drift can be caused by signal reflections, and
is not an equipment failure. But if the symbol shifts to an adjacent or opposite quadrant, and remains there when
the test set moves into a test quadrant, then suspect a problem with the installation. Make sure this is a problem
by rotating the aircraft 90 degrees, then repeating the test. If the problem quadrant remains in the same position
relative to the aircraft, suspect an equipment failure (the TSS-4100, the TSA-4100, or the cabling). If the problem
quadrant stays fixed in space, suspect signal reflections or other outside interference.

Figure 4-9. Bearing Test, Aircraft and TCAS Test Set Orientation
NOTE
For a transponder to reply to Mode A, Mode C, or Mode S interrogations, it will be necessary to simulate the
aircraft being in the air. At a minimum this includes ensuring that the weight on wheels discrete is open and that
the radio altimeter reads above 50 feet. If possible it would be best to also simulate an airspeed of greater than
100 knots.
4-19
maintenance 523-0809018
a. Simulate a 2000 ft pressure altitude (uncorrected). Set the squawk code to 1234. Set the Flight ID to TEST1234. Set the
selected altitude to 16000 ft.
NOTE
Other altitude values can be used to run this test.
b. Run a Mode A/C decode and Side Lobe Suppression (SLS) test. Make sure they pass. Make sure that the proper altitude (2000
ft) and squawk code (1234) are reported.
c. Run an XPDR A/C Spacing Width Test, which also tests the ATCRBS all-call functionality. Make sure it passes.
d. Run the power and frequency tests. This also tests receiver sensitivity. Make sure they pass.
e. Run a Mode S All Call test. Make sure it passes. Make sure the Mode S address is correct.
f. Run a Mode S Reply test that includes a test of diversity. Make sure it passes.
g. Run a Mode S UF0 test. Make sure it passes. Make sure that the maximum airspeed range is what should be programmed for
that aircraft.
NOTE
The maximum airspeed range is programmed in the ECU as part of the aircraft configuration. If necessary, read
the documentation that comes with the aircraft configuration media set to see what this value should be.
h. Run a Mode S UF4 test. Make sure it passes. Make sure that the reported altitude is 2000 ft.
i. Run a Mode S UF5 test. Make sure it passes. Make sure that the reported squawk code is 1234.
j. Run a Mode S UF11 test. Make sure it passes.
k. Run Elementary Surveillance tests. Retrieve, at a minimum, registers 1,0, 1,7 and 2,0. Make sure that the tests pass and that
the retrieved value of register 2,0 is TEST1234.
l. Run Enhanced Surveillance tests. Retrieve, at a minimum, registers 4,0, 5,0, and 6,0. Make sure that the tests pass and that the
selected altitude reported in Register 4,0 is 16000 ft.
4.8.9. ADS-B Transmit Ground Test.
Run this test only if the ADS-B Out option is available. Perform this test when there is pilot complaint that there is an issue with the
ADS-B position transmissions from the aircraft.
NOTE
Flight testing, or GPS simulation of a flying aircraft, is required to do more testing than specified here.
a. Set the TSS-4100 as the selected transponder, and have it set to reporting altitude. Turn on the primary GPS and turn off any
secondary GPS. Allow the GPS to obtain a good position fix.
b. Use the IFR-6000, or any other ADS-B capable test set. Use it to monitor for Register 0.6, the surface position squitter. Make
sure that the decoded position is correct. Make sure that the position is synced to the time mark. On the IFR-6000, this is
indicated by the annunciation UTC. The indication that the position is not synced to the time mark is N/UTC.
c. If there is a secondary GPS, then turn off the primary GPS and turn on the secondary GPS. Let the secondary GPS to obtain a
good position fix.
d. Use the IFR-6000, or any other ADS-B capable test set, and use it to monitor for Register 0.6, the surface position squitter.
Make sure that the decoded position is correct. Make sure that the position is synced to the time mark.
4.8.10. Transponder/TCAS Suppression Bus Issues.
If the pilot report describes a Tracking Own Aircraft TCAS error when the non-TSS transponder is selected, then the transponder
suppression interface should be examined for open/short circuits. The suppression interface connects each TDR-94D connector,
TSS-4100 connector, and DME radio. When there is a suppression interface problem, the traffic display shows an intruder aircraft
4-20
maintenance 523-0809018
at zero-range, and at the same altitude (±200 ft) as own aircraft. The intruder stays at own altitude regardless of evasive vertical
maneuver. The problem can also make the display show a cluster of intruder targets at own altitude that move randomly. Check the
continuity of the suppression interfaces to show any short-circuits.
a. Remove all units connected to the suppression interface, including the TSS-4100, the transponder, and DME units.
b. Make sure that the continuity is less than 1Ω to each contact in the interface. Make sure an open is greater than 100 kΩ between
the center conductor and the shield/barrel of the coaxial connector.
c. Make sure that all coaxial pin contacts are positioned correctly.
d. When each unit is inserted back into the system but not powered, make sure that the connections to that unit are open.
4-21
maintenance 523-0809018
NOTE
These tests simulate TCAS-equipped aircraft at different altitudes with altimeter test equipment, but simulate the
aircraft as stationary in space.
The instructions in this section use the TCAS test set to simulate certain flight scenarios. The activity of intruder aircraft is simulated
by the TCAS test set. That activity simulates the combined relative horizontal and vertical movements of both aircraft in an actual
flight situation. For example, in an actual flight situation in which a TCAS equipped aircraft and an intruder are approaching at
the same altitude both with a speed of 360 kts, the relative approach speed is 720 kts. This situation can be simulated by giving
the intruder a speed of 720 kts. Refer to Figure 4-10 for the parameters involved in the flight scenarios (CPA = Closest Point of
Approach).
4.9.2.2. The altitude of the TCAS aircraft is simulated by means of radio and barometric altimeter system test equipment. The
TCAS test set allows entry of intruder-simulated altitude and vertical speed. A change in relative vertical speed can be simulated by
changing the intruder vertical speed while the test runs.
4-22
maintenance 523-0809018
4.9.2.3. You should be familiar with how to use the TCAS test set you are using. This procedure does not give detailed instructions
on test set operation. These are general instructions for a normal TCAS test set. Change these instructions to apply to your test set
if necessary.
4.9.2.4. Equipment Preparation.
NOTE
Equipment Preparation means running any necessary self-tests, making the necessary connections, and placing
the equipment as required for executing the test scenarios.
NOTE
The TCAS controls may have a position labeled AUTO. If so, use AUTO instead of TA/RA.
i. Make sure the TCAS display shows that TCAS is no longer in standby.
j. Make sure the TCAS display is set for full-time traffic display. If it is not, then select traffic mode. Set the TCAS Display
Range to 15 nmi or greater.
NOTE
If airborne aircraft are near (i.e. within approximately 15 nmi), the display can show an other traffic (OT) or PT
symbol.
4.9.2.5. Test Scenarios. Refer to Figure 4-10 for the Test Scenario setups. If using the IFR-6000 Test Set, pre-program the unit
for the desired scenarios. This can save time on the flight line. In all test scenarios, the bearing to the intruder symbol on the TCAS
display will always be in the direction of the test set with respect to the airplane. That is, if the test set is situated off the right wing,
all intruder symbols will appear at or very near, the 3:00 o’clock position on the TCAS display. Here is a summary of the scenarios:
• Scenario 1a: Climb RA
• Scenario 1b: Descend RA
• Scenario 2a: Climb RA just below maximum climb altitude
• Scenario 2b: Descend RA just above the maximum climb altitude
• Scenario 3a: Increase Climb RA
• Scenario 3b: Increase Climb Inhibit (not applicable to all installations)
• Scenario 3c: Climb Inhibit (not applicable to all installations)
• Scenario 4a: Low Altitude Allow Increase Descent

• Altitude Rate: 0.
4.9.2.5.6. Scenario 3b: Increase Climb Inhibit. Scenario 3b can only be run if the "Increase Climb Inhibit" discretes are
connected and can be stimulated. This test is intended to ensure TCAS properly recognizes the increase climb inhibit input (2500
ft/min climb inhibit). Follow the same steps as SCENARIO 3a except as follows:
a. Configure the airplane as needed to enable the 2500 ft/min climb inhibit condition. This may require a change to both the
altitude of the own aircraft and the altitude of the target aircraft. If the altitude of this test is greater than 20,000 ft, then the
ranges in the following step will be off. Also, the TA and the RA will occur sooner than indicated.
b. Monitor the TCAS display and audio system for correct presentation as follows (NOTE 1):
4-26
maintenance 523-0809018
4.9.2.5.7. Scenario 3c: Climb Inhibit. Scenario 3c can only be run if the "Climb Inhibit" discretes are connected and can be
stimulated. This test is intended to ensure TCAS properly recognizes the climb inhibit input (1500 ft/min climb inhibit). Follow the
same steps as SCENARIO 3a except as follows:
a. Configure the airplane as needed to enable the 1500 ft/min climb inhibit condition. This may require a change to both the
altitude of the own aircraft, and the altitude of the target aircraft. If the altitude of this test is greater than 20000 ft, the ranges
in the following step will be off. Also, the TA and the RA will occur sooner than indicated.
b. Monitor the TCAS display and audio system for correct presentation as follows (NOTE 1):
NOTE
An RA should be issued at about 6 nmi, and that it is possible that there is a change in which RA is being issued
inside of 6 nmi. This test passes as long as there is not a climb or an increase climb advisory.
4.9.2.5.8. Scenario 4a: Low Altitude Allow Increase Descent. Scenario 4a shows that a descend and increase descent advi-
sories will be given at low altitudes above a certain radio altimeter threshold.

B.1.4.1. TSS-4100 Monitor IDs. Label 353 cycles through all active faults detected by the TSS-4100. If there is more than one
active fault, every 500 ms a different Monitor ID will be transmitted. The "Start of Reporting Cycle" bit is implemented so that it is
possible to know that all currently active faults are recorded. For example, if there are four active faults corresponding to Monitor
ID 2150, 2151, 2152, and 2153, then label 353 will output Monitor ID 2150 with the Start of Reporting Cycle bit set to 1. The other
Monitor IDs will be output one at a time with the "Start of Reporting Cycle" bit set to 0. Once all of the Monitor IDs have been
output, the TSS will start with Monitor ID 2150 again. Refer to Table B-6 for a list of all the possible Monitor IDs and the associated
faults.

C.5.3.1. The following figure is of the expected concentrated bus architecture with a right TSS and a left TDR using a single output
bus from both the left and the right concentrator.
C.5.3.2. A summary of the data sources that are sorted based on SDI is below. Data from all other sources are sorted by the bus
that the data is received.
• Radio Altimeter
• PFD
• ADC
• AHC/IRS.
C.5.3.3. Here is a list of the labels that can be received on the concentrated buses, the ultimate expected source of the data, and
notes regarding their use. Not Required does not mean that it is not desired or will not be used – it means that at this time it is not
a required parameter.

C.5.4.1. GPS Bus Labels. Refer to Table C-13 for a listing of the data used from the ARINC 429 data block coming from a
GPS.
C-14
appendix C 523-0809018
C.5.4.2. GPS Data Latency. It is important that the GPS time mark (which comes out once a second) and the ARINC 429 data
block associated with it have less than a 200 ms lag between them. Typically, a high speed data block associated with the time
mark comes out about 150 ms after the time mark. A low speed data block comes out just under 200 ms. If there is not a direct
connection between the GPS and the TSS or TDR transponder, the latency through the rest of the system must be minimized. A
GPS may transmit data at either a 1 Hz rate or at a 5 Hz rate. Either input rate is acceptable for the transponders. GPS data may not
be down-sampled (for example, to one every 5 data blocks) as the block that corresponds to the time mark must be received by the
transponder.
C.5.4.3. GPS Data/Time Mark Input Correlation. GPS data may either come in through the dedicated GPS bus or through the
concentrated bus. It is not allowable to have the data come in through both. When received on the concentrated bus, GPS data is
sorted by the bus it comes in, so the data from the left GPS must come from the left concentrator and the data from the right GPS
must come from the right concentrator. In addition, the GPS Time Mark input being used must match the input of the ARINC 429
data. Refer to Table C-14 for which time mark matches which input port.
NOTE
For the TDR there is only one time mark input. Data received either from the cross-side GPS or the cross-side
concentrator will not have an associated time mark.

C.5.4.4. Single vs Dual GPS Installation. Refer to Figure C-2 for an example block diagram of a GPS installation. In this
diagram the Left GPS is standard and the right GPS is optional.
NOTE
There is an ECU setting for the TSS as to whether there should be one or two GPS inputs expected.
In a single GPS installation, a right TSS expects that the single GPS input to come in from the cross side – to come
in on the #2 input.

APPENDIX E
Interconnect Diagram
E.1. INTRODUCTION.
This appendix contains the interconnect wiring diagram. Refer to Figure E-1.
Make sure the aircraft battery master switch is turned off before installing any interconnect cabling.
NOTE
Figure E-1 shows a possible interconnect between the TSS-4100 and various altitude and control sources. Because
various part numbers of the TSS-4100 provide different strapping options this information is for reference only.
The Traffic Surveillance System (TSS) interconnect diagram is shown in Figure E-1. All installations follow this general configu-
ration pattern. Various options offer the installer a wide choice of configurations for new and retrofit installations. Use the generic
interconnect diagram to help locate specific interconnect data. Each functional area, shown in bold type, is complete only with
respect to TSS interface data for that particular function. That is, for peripheral systems, for example the air data system or radio
altimeter system, interconnect data to non-TSS related equipment is not provided here. In those cases, you must refer to other appro-
priate documentation. Most of the application groupings are also shown in bold type. Subordinate application groupings are shown
in normal type.
During preparation of the interconnect cables, observe the precautions that follow:
a. Read all notes on drawings and interconnect diagrams prior to fabricating interconnect wiring cables.
b. Bond and shield all parts of the aircraft electrical system, such as generator and ignition systems.
c. Keep the interconnect cables away from circuits carrying heavy current, pulse transmitting equipment, and other sources of
information.
d. Make all external connections of the equipment through the designated connectors listed on the outline and mounting diagrams.
e. For balanced connections, use twisted-pair shielded wiring for minimum pickup of electrostatic and magnetic fields. Avoid
long runs of wire and keep input and output circuits separated as much as possible.
f. All interconnect wires and cables should be marked in accordance with the Aircraft Electronics Association Wire Marking
Standard.
g. Avoid excessive cable lengths, but allow sufficient slack for movements due to vibration.
h. After installation of the cables in the aircraft, and before installation of the equipment, check to make sure that aircraft power
is applied to the pins specified on the interconnect diagrams and that all other wires and shields are properly terminated.
