TECHNISONIC INDUSTRIES LIMITED www.til.ca TDFM-7300-3 Installation & Operating Instructions TiL 11RE436 1-1 SECTION 1 - GENERAL DESCRIPTION 1.1 INTRODUCTION This publication provides operating and installation information on the TDFM-7300-3 airborne transceiver. The exact configuration depends on which and how many RF modules are installed. 1.2 DESCRIPTION The TDFM-7300-3 transceiver is an airborne multi-band radio capable of operation in conventional analog and P25 digital FM systems, SmartNet/SMART ZONE trunking systems and P25 9600 trunking systems. Type II RF modules are available in VHF, UHF LO, UHF HI and 700/800 MHz bands. These optional additional features include P25 9600 Baud trunking that may be combined with AES and/or DES-OFB encryption with OTAR in any of the available modules. Bands 1 through 4 on the TDFM-7300-3 are not normally frequency agile. In order to have the ability to change the frequencies at the front panel, the FPP (front panel programming) option must be ordered. FPP is only available on the VHF and UHF modules. The FPP option precludes trunking and limits available channels to 240 (15 zones/16 channels) on that module instead of 1000 channels. Please note that all 240 memories must be filled if FPP is ordered. The TDFM-7300-3 has provisions for four of the above RF modules as well as one analog only module. This additional module is fully frequency programmable from the front panel and covers the aviation band 117.975 to 138 MHz AM. 1.3 MODEL VARIATION Irrespective of digital module type the bands are numbered 1, 4, 5 and 8 for VHF, UHF low, UHF Hi and 800/700 respectively. The transceivers part number indicates whether type I (-1, -2) or type II (-3, -4) modules are installed along with which type of modules are installed. The front panel LED display will also indicate which type of modules the transceiver contains.

TECHNISONIC INDUSTRIES LIMITED www.til.ca TDFM-7300-3 Installation & Operating Instructions TiL 11RE436 2-1 SECTION 2 – OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS 2.1 GENERAL A 6-line display and a keypad and a rotary knob provide the operator control of up to 5 RF modules installed in the unit. The display is showing the activity of all 5 modules (bands) as well as the menu of the active band, selected by pressing the BAND key. The knob has multiple functions including volume, and channel. The microphone, key line and headphone audio can be wired separately for each of the 5 bands therefore switching from band to band is performed at an audio panel such as the Technisonic A71X series. This allows for separate and simultaneous operation on each of the bands just like having 5 separate radios. The transceiver can also be connected so that all bands are available on the combined output. In this configuration, the BAND key on the transceiver must perform switching between bands. It is possible to connect the transceiver such that both methods are used. 2.2 FRONT PANEL Refer to the diagrams below: FIGURE 2-1 Front Panel Controls – TDFM-7300-3 Transceiver
TECHNISONIC INDUSTRIES LIMITED www.til.ca TDFM-7300-3 Installation & Operating Instructions TiL 11RE436 2-2 2.3 POWER SWITCH To switch the transceiver on, press and hold the knob until the radio powers up. The display will show TECHNISONIC and the software version installed followed by the model number along with which RF modules are installed. The display will then show the normal display. To switch off the transceiver at any time, press and hold the knob for 2 seconds until the display shows OFF then release. If it is desired that the radio powers up with the radio master in the aircraft, a power jumper may be installed (see installation instructions) such that the radio is always on. The battery master must be used to turn the radio off with this jumper installed. 2.4 KNOBS The knob is a rotary encoder, which turns endlessly, meaning its actual position is not important. The knob also has a push button incorporated in it so you can press the knob as well as turn it. The knob will start out as a volume control. Pressing the knob again will change its function to act as the channel selector. Pressing the knob again causes the keypad function to change from function keys to number keys. The knob in this mode acts as a volume control. Another knob press will bring you to the recall mode. In the recall mode, typing in the channel number will bring you quickly to that channel without scrolling through channels in between. Pressing the knob again brings it back to the volume control mode. The current function of the knob is shown at the bottom right of the display. 2.5 SOFT KEYS AND HOME The transceiver has three soft keys, which assume the function shown on the menu above them on the display. The functions displayed depend on how the module was programmed with the customer programming software (CPS)™. These menu items can be different on a channel by channel basis. Typical menu items may include: ZONE - Pressing this function will prompt you for a new zone number which can be entered directly (if the keypad is in numlock mode) or scrolled using the UP(5) and DN(8) keys. MUTE - Selecting this function will prompt you for an on or off entry using the soft keys to mute the tones. Tones refer to the beeps heard when pressing buttons. PWR - Selecting PWR will allow the power output of the radio to be set to high or low. PROG - Selecting PROG brings you to user programmable features of the radio such as telephone numbers or scan lists. The ability for the user to program phone numbers, scan lists, etc can be enabled or disabled by the CPS™. VIEW - The view function is used to view lists. Lists can include scan lists, phone numbers, call lists and or paging. FPP - Front Panel Programming mode allows you to program at the front panel without the customer programming software. This option is available on VHF and UHF type II modules and is always present on band 5 (analog VHF low band module). At any time while in one of these functions, you can escape back to the normal mode by pressing the HOME key. When programming the modules with the CPS™, it is suggested not to double up functions. For example, programming a soft key to CHAN would be redundant since there is already a channel function using the knobs. Using the CHAN soft key would also not update the channel number on the display, causing some confusion.
TECHNISONIC INDUSTRIES LIMITED www.til.ca TDFM-7300-3 Installation & Operating Instructions TiL 11RE436 2-3 2.6 BAND KEY Pressing the BAND key will select the next band in sequence. A solid arrow will indicate which band is selected. 2.7 FUNC KEY Pressing the FUNC key will bring up the first functions menu: F1 to F4 = Channels Pressing one of these keys will load a pre-programmed channel. 4 = Record Pressing 4 will cause the transceiver to record the next message received on the band selected. 5 = Playback Pressing 5 will play the last message recorded. Pressing the FUNC key again will bring up the second menu. The following functions are available: 1 = Cross Band Repeat You can select any two bands to cross band repeat. The repeat function is semi-duplex. This means the TDFM-7300 will retransmit from one band to another in both directions but not simultaneously. 2 = Configuration Enters the configuration menu (see 2.18 configuration menu). This is the same menu that can be invoked during boot up. 3 = Simulcast You can select bands to transmit simultaneously. Simulcast is not available when audio routing is set to separate mode and will not show up in the functions menu. 4 = F1-F4 Programming Allows you to program a Hot Memory (zone/channel) to the F1 to F4 keys for each band. 5 = Simplex Repeat When turned on, the band selected will become a simplex repeater. Simplex repeat (sometimes called parrot repeat) will record an incoming message and immediately retransmit the message on the same frequency. 6 = PCDL Mode When Band selector is set to Band 5, this switches the front panel program connector serial port to the Band 5 RF module. This is used when programming with MultiTDP software. 2.8 F1 to F4 KEYS Four function keys at the top of the keypad provide the same actions as the three side buttons and the top button found on the XTS-5000 portable. They are as follows: F1 – Top-side-button (purple button) on the portable. F2 – Centre-side-button (with one dot) on the portable. F3 – Bottom-side button (with two dots) on the portable. F4 - Top button (orange button) on the portable.

TECHNISONIC INDUSTRIES LIMITED www.til.ca TDFM-7300-3 Installation & Operating Instructions TiL 11RE436 2-12 2.19 FRONT PANEL PROGRAMMING (FPP) MODE (Bands 1 – 4) One of the bands may have the capability to program channel information such as frequencies, PL tones, modulation types, etc from the front panel. ‘FPP’ will show up as one of the soft menu items at the bottom of the screen if this option has been ordered. When the FPP soft key is pressed, you will be prompted for channel information. Wait until the cursor is flashing then press ‘OK’ for the next input or press ‘QUIT’ to finish and get out of the programming mode. All changes up to that point will be saved. The prompts are as follows: TX Frequency Enter the desired transmit frequency using the numeric key pad. If the frequency entered is not within band limits or not on proper channel spacing, the frequency will automatically be changed to the closest valid channel. RX Frequency Enter the desired receive frequency. TX PL Enter the desired transmit PL tone frequency. After the last digit is pressed the radio will verify that it is a valid frequency and flash the first cursor again. Press ‘OK’ at this time. The transceiver supports all standard PL tones. (Also known as CTCSS tones) TXPL tones are generally used to open repeaters or in talk groups where the receivers are squelch protected by PL tones. Enter ‘000.0’ for no tone. PL tones are used by analog mode only. RX PL Enter the desired receive PL tone frequency. Enter ‘000.0’ no tone – carrier squelch operation. TX DPL Enter the desired DPL code. You can not have both a PL and a DPL at the same time. The one that is entered last will turn the other off. A DPL of 000 means off. DPL codes are also known as DCS codes. RX DPL Enter the receive DPL code as above. TX NAC Enter the desired transmit P25 NAC code if using digital, otherwise just press ‘OK’. The code is hexadecimal therefore the letters A to F could also be used. Press the ‘A-F’ soft key to use buttons 1-6 as A-F. A NAC or Network Access Code is used like PL tones but are only used by P25 (digital) mode. A value of 293 is considered to be the standard code for open channel. RX NAC Enter the desired receive P25 NAC code as above. RX TYPE Select the receive mode using the UP and DN keys – Analog, digital or mixed. The mixed mode will allow the receiver to decode analog and P25 digital signals as needed. TX TYPE This prompt will only come up if you selected mixed for RX. Select analog or digital. BANDWIDTH Select 12.5, 20.0 or 25.0 kHz using the UP and DN keys. Bandwidth may also be called ‘Channel Spacing’. CHANNEL NAME Use the UP and DN keys to scroll to the desired letter and press the NXT soft key to get to the next character. Press ‘OK’ when done. There will be a delay while the channel is saved, then the display will return to normal.

Save the original shipping container for returns due to damage or warranty claims. Check that each item on the packing slip has been shipped in the container. 3.3 TRANSCEIVER INSTALLATION The TDFM-7300-3 Transceiver is designed to be Dzus mounted and should be installed in conjunction with an IN-7300 installation kit. See Figure 3-1 for an outline drawing of the unit with dimensions to facilitate the installation. 3.4 INSTALLATION KIT - CONTENTS The IN-7300 installation kit (P/N 069726-1) consists of: 1. One 25 pin Cannon D mating connector (female) complete with crimp pins and hood. 2. One 9 pin Cannon D mating connector (female) complete with crimp pins and hood. 3. One 15 pin Cannon high density D connector (female) complete with crimp pins and hood. 4. Five (5) BNC connectors. 3.5 ANTENNA INSTALLATION The type and number of antennas depends on the model of transceiver being installed. The following is a list of recommended antennas for the various RF modules: VHF 136 to 174 MHz Comant part # CI-292 UHFLO 403 to 470 MHz Comant part # CI-275 UHFHI 450 to 512 MHz Comant part # CI-275 UHFHI (II) 450 to 520 MHz Comant part # CI-285 800 806 to 870 MHz Comant part # CI-306 800/700 (II) 700 to 870 MHz Comant part # CI-285 Type II (II) modules have a wider bandwidth in some cases. If communications are going to occur in this wider bandwidth area, the antenna with wider coverage should be used. The antenna should be mounted on the bottom of the aircraft whenever possible possible and must not be co-located (kept at a separation distance of more than 20cm from each other when installed). Also they must be installed in such a way that they always maintain a separation distance of more than 90cm (36 inches) from any from any occupant in the airframe during operation. Consult with instructions provided with the antenna. Connect the RF cables to the back of the transceiver using the BNC connectors provided in the installation kit. It is possible to use equivalent 50-ohm aviation antennas that cover the appropriate bandwidths. For IFR certified aircraft, it is recommended to use the Sensor Systems antenna for VHF low band along with a low pass filter to prevent harmonic interference with NAV equipment.

Connect a 1N4006 diode in series with the cathode towards the audio panel in this case. 3.13 TX DATA AND RX DATA: J1 (PINS 12 AND 13) These pins provide RS-232 serial communications for use with the RC-7000 or RC-7300 remote control head if installed. Consult the RC-7300 installation manual for details. 3.14 CHANNEL UP / DOWN: J1 (PINS 16 AND 17) These pins can be used to scroll up and down through the zone/channel/mode/talk group selections for the band currently displayed on the screen. The inputs normally floating are grounded to activate. Two push buttons or a center off, SPDT, spring loaded toggle switch are typically used on these inputs. If both pins are grounded simultaneously, the next band will be selected. 3.15 LH DATA, SB9600 BUSY, OPTB+, CTS OUT, BOOT DIN, RTSBIN AND RS232DIN: J1 (PINS 18 THROUGH 24) These pins are used for programming or updating the transceiver using Motorola Customer Programming Software (CPS™) or encryption key loading and are left unconnected. They may be used to update the radio once it is removed from the aircraft. These pins are also brought out to the TDFM-7300-3’s front panel mini-DIN connector to allow programming in the aircraft. 3.16 PANEL BACKLIGHTING: J1 (PIN 25) Connect to aircraft panel dimming bus. The transceiver is capable of supporting 28 VDC or 5 VAC backlighting circuits. Select 28 volts DC or 5 volts AC via the configuration menu (see section 2.18). No damage will occur if the wrong setting is made. 3.17 ANTENNA TUNER CONTROL LINES: P1 (PINS 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 10 AND 12) These connections are not used on the TDFM-7300-3. 3.18 POWER JUMPER The radio must be turned on manually each time the avionics bus is switched on. If it is desired that the radio comes on with the radio master in the aircraft, remove the right side panel from the radio and install the supplied 0.1” jumper across JP1 (two pins) near the rear of the radio on the right side of the MCU board. The radio is shipped with the jumper on only one of the two pins. If you attempt to turn off the radio with the jumper installed, it will come back on again in 5 seconds. Turning the avionics bus or battery master switch off will be required to de-energize the radio.

TECHNISONIC INDUSTRIES LIMITED www.til.ca TDFM-7300-3 Installation & Operating Instructions TiL 11RE436 3-9 3.19 POST INSTALLATION EMI TEST PURPOSE The purpose of this test is to identify any interference that the TDFM-7300-3 transceiver may cause with existing aircraft systems. TEST CONDITIONS The TDFM-7300-3 transceiver should be installed and function tested. The antenna VSWR should be checked. A forward/reverse power check with an in-line wattmeter should show no more than 10% reflected power. For the following tests, insure that the output power is set to high. METHODOLOGY Most of the EMI tests can be accomplished on the ground. In some cases flight testing is required or is easier. If the aircraft is approved for IFR operations, then it is mandatory that interference between the TDFM-7300-3 transceiver and the approach aids be checked in flight. The GPS should be operational and navigating with at least the minimum compliment of satellites. The VHF comm should be set to the frequencies indicated with the squelch open. VOR/DME receivers should be set to the frequencies indicated and selected for display. If possible, set up a DME ramp test set on the frequencies indicated and adjust the output until the flags are out of view. The transponder and encoder should be monitored with ramp test equipment. Set the output of the transponder test set to 3db above the output necessary to achieve 90% reply. If possible set the ADF to a nearby navigation station. Modulate the TDFM-7300-3 transmitter on the indicated frequencies for at least 20 seconds. Observe the GPS for any degradation in satellite status or availability or flags. Listen for any noise or detected audio signals on the VHF comm(s). Listen for any noise or detected audio signals on the VOR/LOC receiver audio; look for any moment of flags or needles on the VOR/LOC/GS navigation display(s). Observe the transponder for any loss of reply or spurious reply. List the power plant, fuel and other electric instruments in the chart provided and note any anomalies that occur while transmitting. Assess the results. If the aircraft is equipped with an autopilot or a stability augmentation system, then test fly the aircraft and verify that operation of the TDFM-7300-3 transceiver does not have adverse effects on these systems. After checking for gross effects at a safe altitude, fly an approach with each of the different navigation systems coupled to the autopilot (ILS, GPS ETC.) and look for any anomalies.
TECHNISONIC INDUSTRIES LIMITED www.til.ca TDFM-7300-3 Installation & Operating Instructions TiL 11RE436 3-10 RESULTS If the installed system passes all of the applicable EMI tests, then no further action is required. If interference is observed then the interference must be assessed against the appropriate standards of airworthiness for the system in question. For example it is permissible for a VFR certified GPS to lose navigation capability while the TDFM-7300-3 unit is transmitting, providing that it recovers properly and promptly, but it is not permissible for an IFR Approach certified GPS to be affected in the same way. A complete discussion of all the standards of airworthiness to be applied in assessing EMI effects is beyond the scope of this document. PROCEDURE A. Operate the TDFM-7300-3 transmitter on the following frequency for at least 20 seconds. Observe the GPS for any degradation in satellite status or availability or flags.

Determine if the image frequency for the VHF Comm falls within the range of the TDFM-7300-3. If so, select a set of frequencies that will cause the TDFM-7300-3 to be set as close as possible to the image frequency. Any one of the many possible sets will suffice. Record those values in the spaces provided in the following chart. Modulate the TDFM-7300-3 transmitter on the following frequencies for at least 20 seconds. Listen for any noise or detected audio signals on the VHF comm. Example - Bendix /King KY 196A: The first IF frequency is 11.4 MHz. The L.O. is above the received frequency (high side injection), therefore the image frequency is 22.8 MHz above the selected frequency.

TECHNISONIC INDUSTRIES LIMITED www.til.ca TDFM-7300-3 Installation & Operating Instructions TiL 11RE436 3-13 D. The following procedure checks for second harmonic interference to the glide slope receiver from the TDFM-7300-3. All transceivers produce harmonics (multiples of the wanted frequency) and while the TDFM-7300-3 far exceeds FCC requirements, interference can still be experienced depending upon antenna position and separation. Furthermore, harmonics can be generated by other equipment in the aircraft and the structure of the aircraft where dissimilar metals make contact or where grounds are isolated, etc. This is also true of aircraft hangars, therefore testing should be done outside away from any structures where possible. With a portable glide slope generator, provide enough signal to firmly activate the indicator needle and hide all flags. Increase the signal level by 3 dB. Modulate the TDFM-7300-3 transmitter on the following frequencies for at least 20 seconds. Observe the Glide Slope displays. Look for any movement of flags or needles on the navigation display. If an interference condition is detected, then the installation will have to be flight tested according to the following procedure. Using the table below, determine the glide slope frequency based on the localizer frequency of the ILS to be used. Divide the glide slope frequency by 2 and program into the TDFM-7300-3. Fly the aircraft to intercept the localizer and glide slope (both needles centered) at 26 nm from the runway. Transmit on the TDFM-7300-3 for 10 seconds and watch for any deflections or flags. Repeat the test every 2 nm until the indicators are not affected. If the distance is greater than 18 nm then a pass shall be recorded. Otherwise the TDFM-7300-3 shall be placarded “Do not transmit while on ILS approach”.
