GENERAL INFORMATION ‘4

1.1 INTRODUCTION

This manual contains information regarding the physical, mechanical and electrical
characteristics, as well as installation information pertaining to the Ryan TCAD Model
ATS-9000. For maintenance and repair information, contact Ryan International
Corporation.
1.2 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The Ryan TCAD (Traffic and Collision Alert Device) is an on-board traffic display
product used to identify and display information regarding nearby transponder equipped
aircraft. From Mode C transponder replies, TCAD determines relative altitude and range
of nearby aircraft. Aircraft with non-Mode C transponders can provide range
information. The Ryan TCAD will not detect aircraft without transponders. TCAD,
within defined limits, creates a shield of airspace around the aircraft, whereby detected
traffic cannot penetrate without generating an alert. The shield size is selectable for
various phases of flight, and is adjustable by the pilot.

TCAD uses a cockpit display for traffic information. An audible tone and an optional
annunciator light are provided to alert the pilot. Range is displayed in indicated Nautical
Miles(iNM), determined from the alrival amplitude of the threat transponder signal.
Relative altitude is displayed in hundreds of feet, and is determined from comparison of ‘-J
the Mode C replies with the host altitude encoder. Installation consists of a single or dual
Display units, a remote mounted processor, a top-mounted L-band antenna and a
Transponder Coupler for each transponder. An optional second, belly mounted, antenna
and associated Dual Antenna Module is available.

See the Pilot’s Handbook for limitations.

Additional functions are provided:

Code and Altitude - TCAD will display the identity code and altitude of detected
traffic.

Indicated Altitude - TCAD provides for MSL corrected altitude (or Flight Level) of
the host aircraft.

Density Altitude - Quickly computes density altitude, for determining runway

requirements and cruise performance.

Altitude Alert - Provides tones for approaching a target altitude, and to inform the
pilot of inadvertent changes in cruise altitude.

TCAD will display multiple aircraft inside the selected shield. The TCAD is advisory
only, and is a back-up to the “SEE-AND-AVOID” concept and the ATC radar
environment. i/

SECTION II
INSTALLATION

2.1 GENERAL

The Ryan TCAD should be installed according to this manual and AC 43.13-1A and -2A.
Cable harnesses and mechanical supports must be fabricated by the installing agency to
these requirements. This section contains interconnect diagrams, mounting dimensions,
antenna placement and other information pertaining to installation.
Re fer to Section IV for checkout and Customer Care checklist.

2.2 UNPACKING AND INSPECTION

Exercise care when unpacking the equipment. Make a visual inspection of the unit for
evidence of damage incurred during shipment. If a claim for damage is to be made, save
the shipping container to substantiate the claim. The claim should be filed with the
transportation company. Retain the container and packaging material after the equipment
has been removed should equipment storage or reshipment become necessary.

2.3 TRANSPONDER AND ENCODER REQUIREMENTS

The onboard transponder(s) must have suppression capability (often called DME
suppression). A transponder is not required for proper operation of the TCAD.

An altitude encoder is required for proper operation of the TCAD. Encoders that meet
the performance requirements of TSO C88a have the proper output, and can interconnect
with the TCAD paralleled on the output without degrading the performance of the
encoder (see Figure l-l).
In most circumstances, the TCAD should be connected to the encoder which is
connected to the transponder.

2.4 SUPPRESSION

TCAD is connected to the transponder(s) via the suppression line. When TCAD and the
transponder are the only devices on the line, TCAD is connected directly to the
suppression input of the transponder(s) as illustrated by Figure 2-6.

DME suppression is not required for TCAD operation. If the DME is not on the
suppression line, it is not necessary to connect it.

TCAD is compatible with both mutual and unidirectional suppression systems. Only
transponders with suppression can be used. The following table lists the availability of
suppression for various transponders. Not all transponder suppression configurations
conform to ARINC standards. See Figure 2-12 for conformance information.

2.5 ANNUNCIATOR OUTPUT

An output is provided for a remote indication of traffic on the display. A switched

ground is available from the Processor Unit. The output can be used for an annunicator
light. The output is grounded when traffic is displayed, and the circuit opens when traffic
is no longer displayed.
The maximum current through the Annunciator Output is 100ma.

Revision 2: December 6, 1993 Rym TCAD Model ATS-9000 Page 2-2

 2.6 DUAL ANTENNA MODULE

The Dual Antenna Module is a switching device used to provide TCAD with signals
from the primary top antenna and the secondary bottom antenna. The Dual Antenna
Module is optional. A five volt source, logic line, and ground for the Dual Antenna
Module come from the TCAD processor.
NOTE: Insure that the mounting location for the Dual Antenna Module is
accessible (must be accessed for checkout) and at a location that
provides a good ground. Normally, the mounting tray or avionics
rack is not a good ground.

2.7 TRANSPONDER COUPLER

The Transponder Coupler is a passive device used to provide TCAD with an indication
that the transponder has fired. The information is used in signal processing and for
Performance Monitoring.

A Transponder Coupler is required for each transponder. The Coupler is normally

installed near the transponder, behind the instrument panel or in the equipment rack. See
Paragraph 1.6 for recommended interconnect cable type.
See Figure 2-8 for mounting dimensions, and Figure 2-5 for assembly of the Coupler
cable.

- When routing the Antenna Cable, make the run as short as possible, and avoid any
cabling that may contain excessive EMI, such as such as DME, transponder cables,
suppression lines from other equipment or high-current power cables.

When mounting the Transponder Coupler, use the Type-N connectors provided. Use of
BNC to Type-N adapters can increase the VSWR in the transponder cabling. Check the
output frequency of the transponder at its antenna after installing the Coupler to insure
that a standing wave has not been introduced.
NOTE: Insure that the mounting location for the coupler is accessible and
at a location that provides a good ground. Normally, the mounting
tray or avionics rack is non a good ground.

2.6 COOLING

Elevated operating temperatures reduce reliability. Forced air cooling is not required,
however, sufficient space around the display to allow adequate convective cooling is
desirable.

2.9 INITIAL BENCH CHECK

Every Ryan TCAD is checked for operation before shipment. Occasionally however, a
unit may not function after shipment. To avoid undue inconvenience, an initial bench
check is appropriate. See Paragraph 4.3 for this procedure.

2.12 PRIMARY ANTENNA LOCATION & CABLE ROUTING

A well fabricated antenna cable is very important to minimize signal loss. See Figure l-2
for recommended types and lengths.
NOTE: The antenna should be mounted on top of the fuselage
I ” (see
x
Figure 2-2).
A. The L-band antenna must be located on a top surface of the
aircraft, as high and as far forward as practical. Mount close to the
aircraft centerline, and in a vertical position when the aircraft is in level
flight. Generally, the antenna mounts above the cockpit, as far forward
as practical (See Figure 2-2).
B. The antenna should be mounted at least 12-inches from access panels,
doors, or other openings to provide a good ground plane. To the extent
practicable, mount the antenna so that the base is horizontal when the
aircraft is in cruise attitude.

C. Avoid mounting the antenna within two feet of other antennas, or

physical obstructions.
D. The TCAD antenna should be at least three feet from any transponder
or DME antenna.
E. Plan the antenna location so the cable length is as short as
practical.

F. For high speed aircraft, use an L-band antenna appropriate to the

aircraft speed. See Paragraph 1.6 for recommended antenna type.

G. Route the cable avoiding sharp bends and using strain relief. Secure as
necessary to prevent chafing. Avoid routing antenna cables with
electrical cables.

OPERATION

3.1 GENERAL

The ATS-9000 display uses 20 LED cells to communicate alphanumeric information.

Audible tones are provided to alert the pilot. See Figure 3-l for the special symbols
used, and Figures 3-2 and 3-3 for basic display information.

A tone and an optional annunciator can be used to call attention to a detected threat that
has penetrated the Air Traffic Shield. Additionally, when the Altitude Alert is engaged, a
distinctive short tone is generated to call attention to either arrival at a target altitude, or
an altitude deviation.

TCAD computes relative altitude and range of threats using transponder replies from
nearby Mode C equipped aircraft. Aircraft with non-Mode C transponders can provide
range information.
Relative altitude information is derived from decoding the Mode C replies from nearby
aircraft, and comparing the data with the encoded altitude information provided by the
host aircraft. Range information is determined from the arrival amplitude of the digital
transponder signal. TCAD displays the range in indicated Nautical Miles (iNM).

Refer to the Pilot’s Handbook (P/N 32-2102) for TCAD Limits.

3.2 TONES & VISUAL ALERT

Three tones and a visual alert are used by TCAD:

TRAFFIC DETECTION A single tone, providing an audio alert to traffic

detected inside the selected Air Traffic Shield.
When traffic is detected very close to the host
aircraft, the tones become repetitive. See the Pilot’s
Handbook.
ALTITUDE A unique non-repetitive tone, used for the
ALERT Altitude Alert function.

TCAD PERFORMANCE A non-repetitive tone, used to

MONITOR indicate a detected equipment problem.

VISUAL An auxiliary output is supplied. When connected

ALERT to an annunciator lamp, a visual alert to traffic
detected in the selected Air Traffic Shield is
provided.

Revision 2: December 6, 1993 Ryan TCAD Model ATS-9000 Page 3- 1

i/ 3.6 THE AIR TRAFFIC SHIELD

The volume of airspace in which traffic should be detected changes with the traffic
density. When traffic is light, and aircraft are at cruising speeds, a large area of airspace
should be monitored. In higher density airspace, when the pilot is more alert for traffic
and speeds are limited, a smaller surveillance volume is generally appropriate.
The concept of an Air Traffic Shield is used to describe an adjustable volume of airspace,
controlled by the pilot to display potential threats, yet prevent extraneous traffic from
being displayed.

The Air Traffic Shield is a slice of airspace of specified radius and specified height above
and below the aircraft, where a detected threat normally cannot enter without generating
an alert.

3.7 OPERATING MODES

The Ryan TCAD provides three quickly selectable and Pilot programmable shield
volumes, designated as the Enroute (ENRT), Standard (STD), and Terminal (TRML)
modes. See Paragraph 1.3 for Shield limits.

The TCAD displays threat data when an intruder is detected near the shield, and a tone is
generated when the threat enters the shield. The Mute button may be used to suppress
the tone for a specified duration.

d To avoid nuisance indications on the ground, a special sub-mode of the Terminal Mode,
called the Ground Mode, can be automatically activated. The Ground Mode has the same
dimension as the Terminal Mode shield size, suppresses the display of traffic at and
below 100 feet above the host altitude, and mutes all alert tones. Thus data available
from traffic near the airport is displayed, and aircraft on the ground are not displayed.

The Ground Mode is activated automatically upon initialization, or by pressing the

TRML and STD buttons. See Paragraph 3.11 and the Pilot’s Handbook for more
information.

A transition symbol of “DP”, for departure is shown in the Mode cell during the
transition from the 200 foot level to the full dimension of the Terminal shield.

The Approach Mode can be activated before landing to eliminate tones caused by aircraft
on the ground as the TCAD-equipped airplane approaches the runway.

In order to use the Approach Mode before landing, TCAD must be supplied with the
destination elevation.

Anytime before landing, the pilot can access the mode by pressing the MUTE and TRML
buttons (thus Muting the Terminal). The status window will show APCH. The top line
of the TCAD display will show FldElev:, and the lower line will show >>xxOOft (xx is
normally the elevation previously set into this mode). The up and down buttons can be
used to enter the destination field elevation. Pressing the MUTE button again restores
TCAD to the previously selected mode (or eight seconds elapsed time will return TCAD
to the previously selected mode). When the base of the Terminal shield gets within 100
feet of the selected field elevation, TCAD automatically enters the Approach Mode, as

Revision 2: December 6, 1993 Ryurl TCAD Model ATS-9000 Page 3-6

shown by “AP” in the Mode cell. When the airplane gets within 100 feet of the field
elevation, threat tones are muted, as indicated by the “M” in the status window, and the
Ground Mode is activated, as indicated by the “G” in the Mode cell.
When preset, TCAD will automatically enter the Approach Mode from the Terminal,
Standard, Enroute, or Unrestricted Mode.
The Unrestricted Mode can be selected by pressing the Enroute and Standard buttons
simultaneously (the letter “U” is indicated in the mode cell). This removes all altitude
restrictions from the shield and places the horizontal limit at 5 iNM. Alert tones are
muted, and any aircraft detected within 5 iNM from the surface up to 60,000 feet will be
displayed.
If, while in the Unrestricted Mode, traffic is detected inside the ENRT shield, the alert
tone will sound and TCAD automatically enters the Enroute Mode.

3.8 [Reserved]

3.9 PROGRAMMING

When completing an installation, the factory settings should be checked, and the
programming functions should be used to adjust the settings as necessary (see Factory
Settings Paragraph 1.4). The following. paragraphs describe the programming functions.

To engage a programming function, the appropriate button is pressed twice. When this is
done, the current setting is displayed. The up and down buttons can be used to adjust the
displayed parameter. To select the next parameter, the appropriate button is pressed
again, When each parameter has been considered, TCAD returns to collision alert
operation. In all cases, if no button is pressed for about 8 seconds when in a
programming mode, the TCAD will return to collision alert operation.

3.10 SETTING THE SHIELD SIZE

Depress the selected button (TRML, STD, or ENRT) twice. The shield height in
hundreds of feet will be displayed. To change the height, press the A or V buttons.
Depress the selected button again for shield radius adjustment. Depress the mode button
once more to return TCAD to normal operation.

Revision 2: December 6, 1993 Rym TCAD Model ATS-9000 Page 3-7

L-l
3.11 SETTING TONE OPTIONS
Depress the Mute button twice. The Tone Volume can be adjusted using the up or down
buttons. Depress Mute again to adjust Mute time duration, Depressing the Mute button
again instructs TCAD to select Ground Mode when power is applied. A final press of
Mute will return the TCAD to collision alert operation.

If no button is pressed for 8 seconds, the TCAD will automatically return to collision
alert operation.
The sequence for tone related set up is as follows:

Press Mute twice: Adjust tone volume

Press Mute again: Adjust Mute Duration, ten second intervals

Press Mute again: Select Ground Mode, On or Off

Press Mute again: Return to operation

3.12 SETTING DENSITY ALTITUDE

Press the Trml and Code buttons simultaneously. The previously programmed
temperature will be displayed on the right. Use the up and down buttons to set the actual
outside air temperature and read the Density Altitude on the left.

3.13 SETTING THE ALTITUDE ALERT

Press the v and A buttons simultaneously. The previously programmed altitude will be
displayed. Use the up and down buttons to set the selected altitude. Pressing the v and
A buttons again will engage the Altitude Alert. See the Pilot’s Handbook for more
information.

3.14 TCAD FAULT DISPLAYS

TCAD uses the host transponder to continually monitor the equipment performance.

The host transponder reply is sensed through the transponder coupler. When a reply is
detected, the signal received through the antenna is coarsely measured for proper
amplitude. If the amplitude is at least 50% of the power required for overload of the
receiver, the test result is considered satisfactory. If the amplitude is less than 50%, then
a failure is declared.
A failure to receive signals will allow partial operation of the equipment. “Signal Fail” is
momentarily displayed on the TCAD, a tone is generated and the TCAD collision alert
functions are deactivated. All other functions are available, including altitude display
and altitude alert. After the alert, the equipment will show the altitude on the top portion
of the display, and “SgnlFAIL” on the lower portion.

Revision 2: December 6, 1993 Ryurt TCAD Model ATS-9000 Page 3-8

TCAD also monitors the interface between TCAD and the transponder. If a malfunction
is detected, an Interface Failure is declared. An Interface Failure allows full operation of
the TCAD, with reduced coverage. If a failure occurs, all functions are still available.
The equipment will show all displays normally, except a “W” will be displayed in the
Mode symbol cell.
The Self Test monitors the receiver whenever there are host transponder replies.

NOTE: If connections between the processor and display is broken

or corrupted, LINK FAILURE is displayed. The
equipment must be turned off, then turned on to clear this
fult display.

3.15 PILOT INITIATED TEST

When the Pilot Initiated test is activated (by pressing the Mute and Up buttons), the
following is displayed:

1. Testing Remote.

2. A single threut wurning tone is sounded.

3. ALT CHK: (correct altitude display)
4. SQK CHK: (shows correct squawk)
5. REC CHK: OK or Fault

6. SYS CHK: OK or Fault

7. COM LINK 100% (should be 95% or greater)

8. Testing Display.

9. The displuy will then show the software versions.

Each display will remain on for a short time before the next display is shown. The
displays can be advanced more quickly by pressing any button to step to the next display.

NOTE: The Pilot Initiated Test depends on a host reply, which

may be absent outside of a radar environment, or if the
transponder is off or not transmitting. These tests only
address operation of the TCAD equipment.

7. COM LINK 100% (should be 95% or greater)
8. Testing Display.
9. The display will then show the software versions.
NOTE: This test can be conducted while flying.

If ALT or SQK are decoded incorrectly, conduct the test again, possibly at a different
location on the ramp, since reflections can influence these tests. If the ALT and SQK are
never received, check that the transponder is transmitting, and that the test location is not
in a highly reflective area. If these are OK, check for and eliminate possible sources of
EMI on the Coupler line.

If REC check indicates failure, check the antenna cables and check for and eliminate
possible sources of EMI on the Coupler line. If REC check still fails, contact the
Factory.

If SYS check indicates failure, check the suppression connections.

If COM LINK is less than 95%, check the display to processor interconnect lines for
sources of EMI. If COM LINK percentage cannot be improved to 95% or more, contact
factory.

E. Perform a complete encoder con-elation and transponder test in accordance

with the equipment manufacturer’s instructions, to verify proper operation of
the encoder and transponder with TCAD operating.
