D. 2-17 2.6.4.2.1 Check of the OUTPUT POWER measurement on transponder a) Preset the equipment in "Maintenance" mode (TX in STBY). Unplug the antenna cable and to connect the "peak power meter", as in fig. 2.16a, to the antenna connector. Switch to “OPERATING” mode, take notes of the reading of the power peak meter. b) Restore the connections of the antenna cables. With TX main in OPERATING and on window “EXTENDED CONFIGURATION – Mon. 1 Power Adj.” Enter, if necessary, a preset value from -100, 99, -98 ......to ..... +98,+99,+100 (Nr. 1 step by step), in order for the measurement reading on “Executive monitoring: Peak Power Output” to be the same (±2%) as the one indicated on the external “Peak Power Meter”, previously noted. c) Repeat point b) for “Mon. 2 Power Adj." on window “EXTENDED CONFIGURATION 2.6.4.2.2 Measurement calibration of the TRANSMITTED POWER (radiated) a) TX main on antenna in OPERATING. On window “EXTENDED CONFIGURATION – Monitor Cable loss” enter the value, measured or calculated, of the monitor probe cable loss (for standard cable see table in previous para. 2.6.4.1) b) On “EXTENDED CONFIGURATION – Monitor Probe Coupling” enter the value of the coupler at the operating frequency, a detail that is pointed out on the antenna features. For the model FAN 96 and FAN 88 the coupling values of the probes are shown on a table enclosed to the package of the antenna (for antenna FAN 96: typical value 20dB ± 3dB) c) On “EXTENDED CONFIGURATION – Antenna cable loss” enter the value, measured or calculated, of the antenna cable loss (for standard cable see table in previous para. 2.6.4.1) d) The measure indicated in “Transmitted Power”, in theory, should be: [“Peak Power Output” – Antenna cable loss] in Watt Some significant power ratios and loss percentage are calculated as per the following table 2-4 : Table 2-4 - Loss of STD coax cables Ant. cable loss: dB Ratio Loss % -3 0,5 50 -2 0,63 37 -1,5 0,708 29,2 -1 0,78 22 -0,5 0,89 11 -0,1 0,9772 2,28 Example: with STD cable (25m – LCF ½”) the reading in “Transmitted Power” must be: 1) for DME 415 with 110 W in Peak Power Output: 110 – (110 * 0,347) = 71,83 W 2) for DME 435 with 1050 W in Peak Power Output: 1050 – (1050 * 0,347) = 685.6 W e) if the reading in “Transmitted Power” is over ± 2% compared to the value mentioned in point d), vary, step by 0,1dB step , the data on window “EXTENDED CONFIGURATION – Monitor Probe Coupling” (or in “Monitor cable loss”) up to the limit of ± 2%. NOTE 1: The sum of the values in dB [Monitor Cable Loss + Antenna Probe Coupling + Antenna Cable Loss] must be >20 dB and <33 dB, otherwise the data will refused. NOTE 2: Values in “Transmitted Power” of each monitor can be adjusted within ±10%. Difference of measure of the values in "Transmitted Power" between the two monitors due to different attenuations of the coaxial cables, couplers and internal coax cabling, can be corrected with the trimmer P6 mounted on module MON (shown in fig. 2.17), in order for each monitor to read measurements that are as equivalent as possible.](https://usermanual.wiki/Thales-ATM/435.USERS-MANUAL-2/User-Guide-857503-Page-21.png)

D. 4-1 SECTION 4 TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS 4.1 GENERAL Equipment DME 415/435 is a ground beacon located in a subrack of 19", equipped with two transponders and a system dual monitoring, microprocessor controlled. This equipment can be also configured like DME/N for 100Wp (DME 415) or 1kWp (DME 435). The following characteristics are valid for the two configurations if that is not specified differently. 4.1.1 Applicable Documents: The DME ground beacons comply with the following specifications: − ICAO Annex 10, 5th edition, International Standard and Recommended Practices − EUROCAE ground DME, MPS (Minimum Performance Specification), ed.57, Iss. December 1986. − C E directives for Transceiver ETS 300 339 (EMC) EN 60065 – EN6215 (Safety) − EEC Directives for CE marking: EMC/89/336 Electrical Safety/73/23. 4.2 ENVIRONMENTAL AND SERVICE CONDITIONS The optimal environmental conditions for beacon operation are given below: − Temperature operation indoor: from −10°C to +55 °C. − relative humidity: up to 95% (-10 to +35°C); max 60% (> 35°C); − pressure: from 760 to 500 millimeters of mercury from sea level to an altitude of approximately 3000 meters; if the equipment is to be installed on sites at even greater altitudes, consult the manufacturer. As regards beacon storage and transport, the temperature must be within the limits −40 °C and +70 °C and pressure up to 15000 m. 4.3 PHYSICAL CHARACTERISTICS The beacon physical characteristics of the equipment single 19" standard cabinet are as follows: − height: 1730 mm; − width: 580 mm; − depth: 610 mm (cabinet code 297 509 004); 635 mm (cabinet code 297 509 007) ; − weight: approx. 145 kg DME 415 (optional modules included). approx. 165 kg DME 435 (optional modules included) Completely modular with plug-in module type.

It is however, possible to select two transmissions rates values: ranging from 800 to 4800 ppps or ranging from 2700 to 4800 ppps. The difference is given by the minimum number of pulse pairs per second (800 ±50 ppps or 2700 ±90 ppps) transmitted by the equipment. Even in case of no interrogations from the airborne interrogators; as a result, the power consumption will be different. 4.4.7 Reply Delay The reply delay may be defined as the reply interval between an interrogation, in antenna, and the corresponding reply at the same point. On a DME/N beacon, the reply delay may be selected in 0.05 µs steps, as follows: - from 35 µs to 75 µs for X channels; - from 50 µs to 75 µs for Y channels. As far as reply delay accuracy according to interrogation level is concerned: Interrogation level delay variation (average) distance accuracy (average typical) from –10 dBm to –79 dBm ± 0,2 µs ± 30 m from –79 dBm to –89 dBm ± 0,4 µs ±60 m from –89 dBm to –91 dBm ± 0,6 µs ±90 m 4.4.8 Automatic Stabilization of the Reply Delay The reply delay can be automatically adjusted according to the measurements performed by the monitors and of specific circuits on the transponder (circuits of pilot pulse) that they measure and they adjourn the precision of the reply delay in continuity with step of 12,5ns. The average value of the measurements from both monitors is used to modify the reply delay presetting in steps of 12,5 ns. The automatic reply delay stabilization will continue even if one of monitors is faulty, if the monitoring logic set will permitted.](https://usermanual.wiki/Thales-ATM/435.USERS-MANUAL-2/User-Guide-857503-Page-105.png)

Press the LAMP TEST pushbutton located in the LCSU section and verify the indicators are working properly. b. Shut down all the equipment from the control panel then switches on again after a few seconds. If the fault persists, replace the CSB board since the failure is not caused by a transient fault condition. The INC board can be indirectly tested through the LAMP TEST. By verifying that the individual indicators and buzzers are operating and using the control push-buttons, check they are working efficiently. If the indications and commands are correct on the PC and the corresponding indications are different on the INC module, there may be an INC board fault or the configuration made is not correct. The serial and parallel ports I/O can be checked by verifying the ON/OFF levels using the Hardware Test described in section 3 in this volume; item [3] of the main menu displays the HARDWARE TEST command that can be used to test all the parallel line inputs and outputs and all the serial channels either separately or in groups. Cable or connector faults are unlikely to occur. When they are present, a visual inspection will often indicate where a cable has been damaged. 5.3.3 Modules Replacement Procedures a) All the modules may be removed and installed without removing power. The special design of the connector that supplies power to each module prevents damage to the electronics from occurring. b) Modules replacement is made easier thanks to the plug-in technique and to the upper and lower extractors every module. To extract these modules, lift the extractors (push them towards the inside of the beacon) and pull the module out of its guides. To reconnect the module, reinsert it back in its guides, push it in and lower the extractors. c) Several of the modules have jumper switches on their printed circuit boards. It is essential to check that the switches or jumpers on the new PBA are set to the same positions as on the old module. Section 2 "INSTALLATION" contains the list of the jumpers. d) Modules with extractors do not require any special operations for their replacement, except for the DPX and TKW modules, which requires unscrewing the proper front screws and coax. cables disconnection. e) Outline drawing are shown in this section f) For other modules, not proved with extractors and requiring particular procedures, proceed as described below. g) The specific RF connectors plug-in, situate at the back panel and associated to semi-rigid coax cables, must be fixed in sure way from the proper nut, by using the spanner of 16 mm. They must have little end clearance to help the insertion system. On each removed module, to check and regulate manually that each RF connector on the back panel are under the previously mentioned conditions. The modules interested at these notes are RX, MON, DPX, TX100 and TKW. Connectors SMA must be fixed with the torque wrench (1Nm/8.9in-lbs) code 870952302X. You have this spanner in the tool bag of the equipment. Connectors "N" of coax cables, must be screwed and blocked in sure way. NOTES: Check that all the RF cables have been connected correctly before switching the transmitter on again, and make sure that either the antenna or a dummy load is connected On some modules are scheduled opportune trimmers that are factory adjusted: they must not be tampered with, if the maximum precision of system wants to be obtained. After having replaced the TX100 or/and TKW module it is essential to follow the described procedures to paragraphs 5.3.5 and 5.3.4 for the respective channel of operation](https://usermanual.wiki/Thales-ATM/435.USERS-MANUAL-2/User-Guide-857503-Page-142.png)
