1.2 FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
The Lynx MultiLink Surveillance System (also referred to in this manual as the Lynx NGT-9000s) is a
Mode S Level 2 dens Class 1 Transponder with an integrated GPS receiver providing Automatic
Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast (ADS-B) output using a 1090ES (Extended Squitter). The unit also
receives ADS-B data via 1090ES and UAT (978 MHz Universal Access Transceiver). Some models
support optional Active Traffic Awareness System (TAS) or antenna Diversity functionality.
The unit replies to Mode A, Mode C and Mode S interrogations receiving interrogations at 1030 MHz and
transmitting responses at 1090 MHz. The unit is equipped with IDENT capabil ity tha t activat es the
Special Identification (SPI) pulse for 18 seconds.
Ground stations can interrogate Mode S Transponders individually using a 24-bit ICAO Mode S address,
which is unique to the particular aircraft. In addition, ground stations may interrogate the unit for its
transponder data capability and the aircraft's Flight ID.
The ADS-B provides own aircraft data with Enhanced Visual Acquisition (EVAcq) traffic information
that improves situational awareness and flight safety by providing aircraft position, velocity, and heading
information that is automatically transmitted to other aircraft and ground stations providing immediate
surveillance of air-to-air traffic.
The 1090ES and UAT ADS-B datalink have the following capabilities:
• 1090ES In - Receive ADS-B, ADS-R and TIS-B
• 1090ES Out - Transmit ADS-B
• UAT In - Receives ADS-B, ADS-R and TIS-B, FIS-B, NOTAMS, and TFR’s
The unit also provides TAS traffic adviso r ie s w hen TAS configuration is enabled. A voice or tone audio
output announces traffic alerts. The unit has multiple transmit/receive ARINC 429, RS-422 and RS-232
data ports used to transmit data to traffic, weather, an d PED display s.
The unit provides the transponder code, reply symbol and mode of operation to the display.
Maintenance and configuration setup can be accomplished via the USB port located on the front of the
unit or by an optional WiFi connection.
Models are available that provide Active Traffic Awareness System (TAS) function and antenna
Diversity. Both models require additional equipment to be installed.
1.2.1 GPS Functional Overview
The GPS function utilizes signals from Global Positioning System (GPS) satellite constellation and
Satellite-Based Augmentation Systems (SBAS) such as the USA Wide Area Augmentation System
(WAAS), European EGNOS, Indian GAGAN and the Japanese MSAS. Currently it supports WAAS and
WAAS compatible SBAS systems.
The internal GPS function provides position, velocity, time, and integrity (NIC, NAC etc.) information to
the ADS-B functions and is ADS-B rule compliant with the requirements of AC20-165A.

Installation Manual
1.2.2 ADS-B System Overview
The Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast (ADS-B) improves situational awareness and flight
safety by providing real time traffic information. The ADS-B In function is used to receive ground station
supported TIS-B and ADS-R traffic, and direct communication with nearby like equipped aircraft (with
Mode S or UAT). The ADS-B Out (1090ES) function is used to periodically broadcast (without
interrogation) information about the aircraft that includes aircra ft id en ti fi c a tion, position, al ti tu de , ve loc ity
and other aircraft status information.
• The traffic display shows the relative position of ADS-B or standard traffic using text, shapes, and
colors. ADS-B also provides similar information on ADS-B equipped ground vehicles.
• The effective surveillance range is 60 nmi. The passive-mode surveillance range is 160 nmi and
maintains report messages for a minimum of 200 1090ES ADS-B participants and 300 UAT ADS-B
participants simultaneously. To reduce display clutter a set number of other aircraft of the highest
priority other aircraft are displayed at a time. See Figure 1-2 for an example of own aircraft traffic
(UAT, 1090ES, TIS-B, and TAS).
• The Lynx NGT-9000 is equipped with a dual-link receiver. ADS-R service is unnecessary to provide
a complete picture of traffic in the area.
1.2.3 ADS-R System Overview The Automatic Dependent Surveillance – Re-broadcast (ADS-R) is a ground based broadcast service that
repeats ADS-B messages from one link (1090ES or UAT) to the other link for aircraft with ADS-B In.
• ADS-R transmissions are updated at least every 2 seconds on the surface, 5 seconds in the term ina l
area, and 10 seconds in the en-route airspace.
• An aircraft on the ground receiving ADS-R is provided both ground aircraft and vehicles as well as
airborne other aircraft within 5nm and 2,000 ft above ground level of the airport reference point.
• Other aircraft are provided by the ground station if within a 15 nm horizontal range and +/-5,000 ft
of altitude of the receiving aircraft. ADS-B equipped ground aircraft and vehicles are not displayed
to airborne aircraft. See Figure 1-2 for an example of own aircraft traffic (UAT, 1090ES, TIS-B, and
TAS).
1.2.4 TIS-B System Overview
Traffic Information Service Broadcast (TIS-B) is a ground based broadcast service that provides
secondary surveillance radar (SSR) derived traffic data (aircraft not equipped with ADS-B Out capability)
to ADS-B In equipped aircraft.
• The actual availability of services depends upon the availability of ground-based radar to support
TIS-B source data.
• Receiving aircraft must be in both radar coverage and ground based transceiver (GBT) coverage in a
given area to receive TIS-B service in that area. When ownship is above 24,000 ft, the ground station
will no longer provide TIS-B service. To reduce display clutter, the TIS-B service provides traf fic
information on other aircraft within 15 nmi and +/- 3500 ft of ownship.
• Other aircraft are provided by the ground station if within a 15nm horizontal range and +/-3,500 ft of
altitude of the receiving aircraft. ADS-B equipped ground aircraft and vehicles are not displayed to
airborne aircraft. See Figure 1-2 for an example of own aircraft traffic (UAT, 1090ES, TIS-B, and
TAS).

1.2.5 FIS-B System Overview
The Flight Information Services - Broadcast (FIS-B) function provides pilots with a cockpit display of
certain aviation weather and aeronautical information for awareness of own aircraft location with respect
to reported weather, including hazardous meteorological conditions (CONUS/ NEXRAD /AIRMETS/
SIGMETS/ NOTAMS/ METARS, etc) and SUA status and TAF (FIS-B products).
NOTE
CONUS and Regional NEXRAD may not always contain complete data.
The data is refreshed every 15 minutes and it is likely to be updated in a
future cycle.
FIS-B is advisory information only and is intended to enhance pilot decision-making during strategic
flight planning. FIS-B augments traditional sources of this information such as ATC and Flight Service
Station (FSS). FIS-B information is provided over the ADS-B Services network on the 978 MHz UAT
link when in ground station coverage.
1.2.6 Traffic Awareness System (option) Overview
The TAS option is an active system that operates as an aircraft-to-aircraft interrogation device. The unit
interrogates transponders in the surrounding airspace similar to ground based radar. When rep lies to these
active interrogations are received, the responding aircraft’s range, altitude, and closure rates are computed
to plot traffic location and predict collision threats. The unit alerts the flight crew to nearby transponder
equipped aircraft and assists the pilot in the visual acquisition of aircraft that may represent a danger.
Traffic information, out to a selected range, is graphically displayed on the unit or alternate display. See
Figure 1-2 for an example of own aircraft traffic (UAT, 1090ES, TIS-B, and TAS).
• The system display shows the relative position of traffic using text, shapes (i.e., Traffic Advisory =
solid circle; Other Traffic = open diamond) and colors.
• The effective active-mode surveillance range is 35 nmi and track 35 ATCRBS intruders
simultaneously with the target bearing relative to the nose of own aircraft.
• The tracking of targets is in a cylindrical volume centered on own aircraft that has, at a minimum, a
radius of 35 nmi and extends 10,000 ft above and 10,000 ft below own aircraft.
1.2.7 Discrete Inputs and Outputs
The Lynx NGT-9000s have discrete inputs and outputs available that can be interfaced to indi cat or lam ps
and cockpit switches. These are optional installations and are not required.
• The WOW input discrete signals the On Ground status to the unit via a squat switch, airspeed
monitor, or a collective switch.
• The IDENT switch activates the IDENT pulse which highlights the aircraft’s symbol on the ATC’s
radar screen and is identified on the NGT-9000 when active.
• The Audio Mute switch is used to signal the unit to suppress all audio output. The discrete is set to
GND/Open. The active position indicates Audio Muted. When grounded this input mutes all audio
from the NGT-9000. This input is typically only used if the aircraft equipped with TAWS or other
aircraft alerting systems.
• The TAS Alert lamp is used to indica te Tra f fi c Ale rt ( TA ). Th e dis c re te is set to G N D /O pen . The
GND (active) position indicates Traffic Alert. The GND (active) position illuminates the lamp.
• The TIS-B Not In Coverage lamp is used to indicate that the unit is not receiving a ground station
signal. The discrete is set to GND/Open. The GND (active) position illuminates the lamp.
• The ADS-B Out Fail lamp is used to indicate that ADS -B out is not operating. The discrete is set to
GND/Open. The GND (active) position illuminates the lamp. Depending on the situation the lamp
has the following functions: flashes while the GPS is initializing and stays illuminated when the
ADS-B Out has failed.

1.4.4 Audio Out
Two audio out discrete outputs are available that can output a 40 mW signal to equipment with a load of
600 Ohms.
1.4.5 RF Suppression Input/output
The mutual suppression input/output is used to provide suppression of L-band equipment on the aircraft.
The transponder uses the signal as an input to inhibit decoding of receiver signals when other equipment
on the aircraft is transmitting. When the transponder transmits, it asserts a positive voltage on the output
to provide the suppression to other systems on the airplane.
1.4.6 TAS Alert
Traffic Alert is a discrete output that provides an indication of when a TAS Alert exists. Discrete outputs
are ground/open type and are able to sink 250mA.
1.4.7 TIS-B Not In Coverage
The TIS-B Not In Coverage discrete output provides an indication that the unit is not in an Radar
coverage area or that power has been removed from the unit. Discrete outputs are ground/open type and
are able to sink 250mA.
1.4.8 WiFi Interface
The Unit uses a RS-232 bus to interface with a commercially available RS-232 to Wifi accessory. This
interface provides traffic and weather information on a personal electronic device via an approved
software application (APP).
1.4.9 WOW Input
The WOW input discrete is optional. The input signals the On Ground status to the unit via squat switch,
Airspeed monitor, or a collective switch. The discrete input is active (ON) when the input is grounded.
• Do not connect this to a gear switch or a manual pilot switch input.
• An internal algorithmic override that uses ground speed and altitude inputs may override this input
and change the air/ground state (ex. a WOW "in-air" state could get changed back to on ground if the
Aircraft is sitting on the ground). This is expected behavior. If simulated in-air tested is requir ed,
use the ground test mode.
1.4.10 Maintenance Interface
The Unit can interface to a maintenance computer using either the WiFi interface or the USB port located
on the front of the unit. This interface is used for installation setup and fault isolation and is only available
while on ground.
1.4.11 GPS Antenna
Antenna performance is critical to the operation of the Unit. The unit requires that the GPS Antenna meet
performance requirements s peci fi ed in TSO-145c.

The Lynx NGT-9000s utilizes electronic part marking for the software part
number, which is stored in non-volati le memor y .
Per the guidance in FAA Order 8150.1c, the appliances are marked with the
primary TSO along with a reference to the Installation Manual for the other
TSO information (other applicable TSOAs, devia tio ns , etc .).
The Lynx NGT-9000s has an RF transmitter which is used to generate both
the 1030MHz and 1090MHz waveforms for Mode S Transponder , ADS-B
Out, and TAS functions. Due to the RF power requirement and inherent nonlinearities in RF transmitters, the harmonics of the transmitter exceed the RF
radiated emissions limit in DO-160G. ACSS deviates from DO—160G
Section 21 Category M Radiated RF Emissions in the following frequency
bands when the transmitter is active:
2180MHz ± 7MHz (2nd Transmitter harmonic) Exceeds Cat M by as much
as 19.3dB
3270MHz ± 23MHz (3rd Transmitter harmonic) Exceeds Cat M by as much
as 22.0dB
4360MHz ± 23MHz (4th Transmitter harmonic) Exceeds Cat M by as much
as 24.4dB

The NGT-9000 does not perform Comm-A (broadcast or addressed) or
Comm-B Air-Initiated ADLP (Airborne Data Link Processor) link operations.
The NGT-9000 meets the certification of Level 2 transponders except for the
support of the above listed ADLP functions.
The use of traffic symbology as defined in DO-317A is equivalent level of
safety to the symbols define in TSO-C147.
ACSS submits that the use of the 0.1 inch character size for the TAS
characters (relative altitude tag) and use of 0.163 inch traffic symbols
provides an equivalent level of safety to the TSO-C147 specified character
and symbol sizes.
The ACSS ATCRBS and ADS-B traffic in a track-up orientation when
heading source is unavailable. ACSS believes that removing the ADS-B
traffic or ATCRBS traffic from the display when the heading input is not
available would significantly reduce the value of the CDTI’s support in the
pilot’s see and avoid responsibilities.
ACSS proposes the DO-317A ASA AIRB application dis play TIS-B traffic,
with a NACv of 0, as a non-directional track similar to EVAcq. This removes
the contradiction between requirements and is in-line with updat es in the
next revision of the MOPS (i.e., DO-317B).
ACSS proposes the DO-317A ASA AIRB application dis play TIS-B traffic by
reporting the most recent non-zero NACv reading confirmed over a 60
second interval.
ACSS will set the EVAcq and AIRB functions unavailable when ownship
position is beyond 85 degrees North or South latitude. The result is a
display of “Traffic Unavailable” on Panel mount units and an indication of
“Standby” for remote displays. However, for NGT-9000 installations, where
TAS is enabled, the range/bearing based TAS targets are displayed.
1.7.3 Non-TSO Functions
The Non-TSO functions information provided here and below is to support FAA Order 8150.1B, section
17.c.(3) and Order 8110.4C Change 3, section 6-9.b.(2),(3) and are covered throughout this installation
manual as applicable. All Non- TSO functions are provided for situational awareness and are not
catastrophic or hazardous (per FAA Notice 8150.6 Section 5(f) (4)). Non-TSO functions are functions not
covered by a TSO approved Minimum Performance Standard/Specification (MPS) and are distinct and
independent, i.e., are not a supporting or additional feature of another TSO’s function.
The Lynx NGT-9000s and DCM do not have any Non-TSO functions.

2.1 INTRODUCTION
This section describes the installation of the Lynx Multilink Surveillance System (MSS). Installation must
be made by qualified personnel, in conformance with applicable government regulations. The information
furnished is for convenience only.
Tolerances (unless otherwise indicated):
ANGLES ARE ± 0.5°
0.00 TWO PLACE DECIMALS ARE ± 0.02
0.000 THREE PLACE DECIMALS ARE ± 0.010
2.2 UNPACKING AND INSPECTING
Carefully unpack the unit and note any damage to shipping containers or equipment. Visually inspect
each component for evidence of damage. Compare the equipment received with that noted on the packing
list. Report immediately any missing items or evidence of damage to the carrier making the delivery. To
justify a claim, retain the original shipping container and all packing materials.
Every effort should be made to retain the original shipping containers for storage. If the original
containers are not available, a separate cardboard container should be prepared that is large enough to
accommodate sufficient packing material to prevent movement.
2.2.1 Transport and Storage Considerations
Transport of the avionics equipment should be done in accordance with standard procedures, i.e. hand
carried or transported in the original container. The container limits the shock to the indicator at a
maximum of 20g’s when dropped from a distance of 36 inches.
Storage of avionics equipment must be consistent with industry standards for avionics equipment and
performs satisfactorily after periods of storage up to 24 months. The ambient temperature of the storage
area should not fall below -55° C (-65° F) or rise above +85° C (+185° F).

7. It is recommended that the installer perform the following wiring checks during installation:
• Check all wiring point-to-point for continuity before connecting components.
• Ensure voltages are not applied to signal wires.
• Inspect cables for correct connection.
8. Use the following information for interfacing compatible equipment. Additional information may be
found in the General Information section under Equipment Interfaces.
• Installations using the GMX 200 connect the Lynx NGT-9000s (TX pins 52 & 53) only.
2.3.2.1 Shielded Cable Preparation
• Use these instructions to prepare the Shielded Tefzel Wire (MIL27500) or equivalent for connection
to the 62 pin sub D connector.
• The crimp pins of the 62 pin connector are to be crimped to the wires.
• The Outer Jacket of the cable is to be removed for all cables on which the solder sleeve to be placed
for ground contact. The installer is to ensure that the outer jacket is removed on the cable for the
length of the cable inside the 62 pin connector backshell and can be around 1 to 1.5 inches from the
crimped pin side. Refer to Table 2-1 for the procedure on how to remove the jacket and insertion of
solder sleeve.
1. The cable can be stripped according to the following procedure designed to leave the shield braid
smooth and flat. The use of finger cots is recommended to prevent transfer of oils to the shield.
a. Score and remove the jacket as shown below:
b. Bunch the braid:
c. Trim the braid as close as possible to the jacket:
0040-17001-01 Installation Page 2-7
Revision A January 15, 2015
Lynx NGT-9000s
Installation Manual
d. Score the jacket ¼ to 5/16 inch from the end of the braid:
e. Remove the section of jacket carefully by pulling straight. This will flatten the braid strand ends:
f. Inspect the cable to make sure that the braid strands are lying against the primary insulation.
2. Solder Sleeve placement
NOTE
Ensure the strands of the shield braid and ground lead lay flat and smooth.
a. Position the stripped portion of ground lead (s) against the stripped portion of the shield braid.
b. Slip the selected shield terminator over the cable and ground lead assembly. Rotate the shield
terminator as it slides over the ground lead to prevent it from catching on the strands.
c. Position the terminator so that the exposed shield is centered between the solder sleeve (solder
preform) inserts and some of the cable jacket is visible between the solder sleeve inserts and the
exposed shield.

3. Apply Heating on the Solder Sleeve
a. Use Tyco Electronics approved heat source and reflector as shown below:
Heat Gun / Setting Reflector
HL1910E = 6 on dial
HL2010E = 700°F on LCD
PR-25 or PR-25D and
HL1802E-ADAPT
b. Allow hot air heaters to warm up before using.
c. Position the assembly (cable, ground lead and terminator) in the reflector so that the solder
preform is in the center of the hot air or at the focal point on the infrared heaters.
d. If the cable jacket or ground lead insulation is susceptible to heat damage for example, if the
insulation is PVC (PVC may not be used on new installations), or if the infrared heating is used
with black insulation, move the assembly toward the heat source to minimize unwanted
exposure of the jacket to the heat.
e. Heat until the solder preform melts flows and wets the shield and ground lead.
f. Some terminators contain a thermal indicator to signal when the correct amount of heat has been
applied to the solder. There are two types of indicators. One is a thermo -chromic material which
signals correct heating by loss of color. Terminators with this type of indicator should be heated
until all the colored material in the joint area has turned colorless. (Slight traces of the material
may remain in the standing of the shield). The other type of thermal indicator is a ring of fusible
material around solder preform. Terminators with this Bi-Alloy indicator should be heated until
the solder preform melts and the indicator ring completely disappears in the joint area.

low loss RF cables. See Figure 2-7.
All models of the Lynx NGT-9000s are required to have GPS and Omnidirectional (UAT) cable
connections (A5 & A4). Models with TAS have three cables connecting to A1, A2, and A4. Models with
Diversity have one cable connecting to A2.
NOTES
1. The cable attenuation and VSWR ratings must be verified to not
exceed the specified values.
2. Place 4-6 inches (10.2 to 15.2 cm) of heat shrink tubing over each
antenna connector and cable to add strain relief and alleviate stress
caused by aircraft vibration.
When routing antenna cables, observe the following precautions:
• All cable routing should be kept as short (do not exceed maximum cable length detailed in the
vendor tables, paragraph 1.6, in the General Information section) and direct as possible.
• Avoid sharp bends (do not exceed maximum bend radius detailed in the vendor tables in the General
Information section, paragraph 1.6.
• Avoid routing cable near power sources (e.g., 400 Hz generators, trim motors, etc.) and near power
for fluorescen t lighting.
• Avoid routing cable near ADF antenna cable (allow at least a 12-inch (30.5) separation).

2.3.5.1 GPS Antenna
The GPS antenna performance is critical to the performance of the Lynx NGT-9000s. The antenna must
meet the minimum performance requirements for the Lynx NGT-9000s.
• The recommended antenna is a DO-301 compliant antenna meeting the requirements of TSO-C190.
For installations where the aircraft has an existing antenna complying with DO-228 (TSO-C144a),
the unit may be installed utilizing this antenna, as per DO-229D Note 1, Section 2.1.1.10. Use the
antenna location information below to verify an existing antenna location is acceptable for use.
• The performance of the unit is affected by the gain, noise figure, impedance, and frequency
selectivity characteristics of the antenna. The unit should be used only with the recommended
antenna and cable. Use of other antennas or cables may not meet all the performance characteristics
specified in DO-229D.
• The cable including connectors, loss should not exceed 10dB.
2.3.5.1.1 GPS Antenna Location
The following guidance provides information to aid the installer in determining the best location is
selected for the installation of the GPS Antenna.
The installation guidelines presented here meet the intent of AC 20-138C Chapter 12, Section 12-1.
NOTE
Not all the listed installation guidelines may be possible on all aircraft.
The guidelines are listed in order of importance. The chances of optimal
signal strength are decreased if the guidelines are not followed.
1. The antenna must be located on the top of the aircraft and should be mounted in a location to
minimize the effects of airframe shadowing during typical maneuvers. Typically mounting farther
away from the tail section reduces signal blockage seen by the antenna.
2. Mount the antenna as close to level as possible with respect to the normal cruise flight attitude of the
aircraft. If the normal flight attitude is not known, substitute with the waterline, which is typically
referenced as level while performing a weight and balance check. A shim may be used to level the
antenna.
3. The antenna should be mounted no closer than 3 feet from any VHF COM antenna or any other
antenna, which may emit harmonic interference at the L1 frequency of 1575.42 MHz. An aircraft
EMI check can verify the degradation of GPS in the presence of interference signals.
• If an EMI check reveals unacceptable interference, either insert a GPS notch filter in line with
the offending VHF COM or select a different GPS Antenna location.
4. To maintain a constant gain pattern and limit degradation by the windscreen, avoid mounting the
antenna closer than 3 inches from the windscreen.
5. It is permissible to temporarily locate the GPS Antenna with a coaxial cable connected to the unit
and check the GPS performance as described in the installation checkout section. Permanently mount
the antenna once a suitable location has been verified.
6. Once the antenna mounting position has been established, route the coaxial cable from the antenna to
the Lynx NGT-9000s. Proper selection of coaxial cable and assembly of connectors is critical to GPS
signal performance.
7. For installations on rotorcraft, ensure that the rotor blades do not interfere with the GPS received
signal. This problem has been experienced in some rotorcraft and varies with rotation rate.

1. Electrical Bonding Requirements:
The GPS/WAAS antenna requires a minimum ground plane radius of 7.5 inches around the
perimeter of the antenna. For metal aircraft, the surrounding metal skin on which the antenna is
mounted supplies the ground plane. For non-metal aircraft, the ground plane can be composed of
heavy duty aluminum foil tape, such as 3M PIN 438 or other adhesive backed dead soft aluminum
foil minimum 0.012 inches thick. It should be noted that if the antenna is struck by lightning, the foil
by itself may not be sufficient to dissipate lightning currents. Additional protection may be needed
depending on the
• The electrical bonding requirements stated in paragraph 2.3.2 must be met.
• To prepare an aluminum surface for proper bonding, refer to SAE ARP1870.
2. Connection to the antenna should be made in accordance with the system interconnect diagram

following guidance provides information to aid the installer in de te rmining that the best locat io n is
selected for the in s ta lla ti o n o f the L-band Antenna.
• The primary L-Band antenna (978 MHz /1030 & 1090 MHz) must be mounted vertically on the
bottom of the aircraft fuselage. The antenna shall be located to minimize obstruction to fields in the
horizontal plane.
• The optional Diversity L-Band antenna (1090 MHz) must be mounted vertically on the top of the
aircraft as shown in Figure 2-13. Horizontal separation from the bottom mounted L-band antenna
must be no more than 25 feet (7.6 meters).
• The total attenuation including connectors shall not exceed 1.5 dB. Based on this, the length of the
cable can be decided assuming RG-400 cable. RG type coaxial cable insertion loss can vary
significantly between manufacturers. Refer to the cable manufacturer's specification sheet for actual
attenuation (insertion loss) for the cable being used.
• The Antenna(s) should be located away from major protrusions, such as engine(s), propeller(s), and
antenna masts. It should be as far as practical from landing gear doors, access doors, or other
openings that could affect its radiation pattern.
• The Antenna(s) must be mounted no closer than 20 inches from any FADEC (Full Authority Digital
Engine Control).
• The bottom L-Band must be mounted no closer than 7 feet to any DME antenna.
• The Antenna(s) must be mounted no closer than 36 inches to any TAS/TCAS antenna.
• The Antenna(s) should be mounted no closer than 3 feet from any GPS antenna.

2.3.5.3 L-Band Antenna Installation
Refer to the aircraft manufacturer's data and the antenna manufacturer's installation instructions to mount
the antenna(s). The installer may use other FAA approved data to gain a separate antenna installation
approval.
• Electrical Bonding Requirements:
Each L-Band antenna requires a minimum ground plane radius of 12 inches of contiguous metal (no
access panels, etc.) around the perimeter of the antenna. For metal aircraft, the surrounding metal
skin on which the antenna is mounted supplies the ground plane. For non-metal aircraft, the ground
plane can be composed of heavy duty aluminum foil tape, such as 3M PIN 438 or other adhesive
backed dead soft aluminum foil minimum 0.012 inches thick. It should be noted that if the antenna is
struck by lightning, the foil by itself may not be sufficient to dissipate lightning currents. Additional
protection may be needed depending on the construction of the structure to which the antenna is
mounted.
The electrical bonding requirements stated in paragraph 2.3.2 must be met.
• Connection to the antenna should be made in accordance with the system interconnect diagram
Figure 2-3.
• All antenna cables should be clearly marked as both connections use TNC connectors.
• Acceptable coaxial cable attenuation including connectors shall be less than 1.5 dB at 978 MHz.
• Reference General Information Section – Antenna Cab les for L-Band Antenna cable loss and
minimum antenna spacing requirements.
• Refer to General Information Section - lists some suitable cable types. Any 50ohm, double-shielded
coaxial cable assembly that meets airworthiness requirements and the acceptable attenuation
requirements (including connectors) may be used. When computing cable loss, a typical loss of 0.2
dB can be used for each connection. Refer to paragraph 2.3 step 2 for antenna electrical bonding
requirements.
2.3.5.4 Installation Guidelines for NY156 (TCAS) and NY164 (TCAS) Directional Antenna
Connections are made through two TNC and one BNC connector. To ensure a tight seal between the
airframe and antenna, an O-ring seal (i.e., an O-ring groove for an MS28775-044 O-ring) has been
incorporated into the design. An O-ring is supplied with each antenna and must be installed when
mounting the antenna. Installati on kits ass oci ated wi th v arious ai rframes are described in the General
Information section along with the contents of each kit.

2.3.5.4.1 Directional Antenna Location
Location is an important factor for maximum antenna performance. Optimum location for a particular
aircraft type is usually available from the aircraft manufacturer. See Figure 2-15 for Antenna Outline
dimensions.
1. In selecting a location, consider the following:
• The mounting site should be on the top forward fuselage, as close to the centerline as possible,
and within -10° of the in-flight horizon (see Figure 2-14).
• The optimum mounting point for maximum coverage is as far forward as possible without
exceeding the -10° forward pitch.
• If necessary, consideration should be given to relocating other antennas to obtain the furthest
forward location for the directional antenna.
• The antenna should be mounted on the aircraft with at least 20 dB isolation (about 30 inches
(76.2 cm)) from other L-band frequency antennas and 24 inches (61.0 cm) from other antennas
or obstructions.
• The ground-plane should be as large as possible, a 30-inch (76.2 cm) ground-plane diameter is
recommended.
• Refer to the guidelines given for the GPS Antenna and L-Band (UAT/1090) Antennas for
additional spacing requirements.
• The directional antenna can be bottom mounted only if a suitable top mount location is not
available. Each bottom mount installation must be evaluated on a case-by-case basis. Before
starting a bottom mount installation, contact Field Service Engineering at 1-800-453-0288 or 1616-949-6600. Note - The bottom mount directional antenna eliminates the diversity option.

2.3.5.5 Installation
1. Use the following information to the extent necessary to install the directional antenna.
• Standard installation practices prescribed in FAA Advisory Circular 43.13 must be followed.
• The installer must ensure the immediate antenna installation area is clean and prepared so that
the antenna is electrically bonded (metal-to-metal contact) to the aircraft. To provide optimum
bonding through the mounting holes, prepare the surfaces with Alodine No. 1001.
• To facilitate mounting to the airframe, the dimensions shown in Figure 2-16 can be used to
locate and drill mounting and connector access holes.
• Connection to the antenna should be made in accordance with the system interconnect diagram
Figure 2-3.
NOTE
A doubler plate (not supplied) is required to reinforce the aircraft skin.
2. Connect each of the three antenna cables. Check to ensure that each cable is connected to the correct
antenna connector. Each connector/cable has a matching color band (see note paragraph.).
3. Attach the antenna to the aircraft, with the special adapter plate and o-ring, using 10-32 hardware
provided. See Figure 2-17.
1. Before installing the antenna on an aircraft remove the tape, which
holds the O-RING gasket in place during shipment (refer to SL-206).
If the O-ring is in a separate bag, remove and install it in the O-ring
groove on the bottom of the antenna.
2. For pressurized aircraft, use a sealant that meets the requirements of
SAE AMS-S-8802 such as Flamemaster CS3204 class B. For nonpressurized aircraft, use a non-corrosive sealant that meets the
physical requirements of MIL-A-46146 such as General Electric
RTV162.

3.3 MAINTENANCE PC
The procedures for installation checkout require the use of a Maintenance PC (MPC), Lynx Maintenance
Appliance Tool (Lynx MAT), LynxMSS USB Driver, and a USB cable.
A compatible Lynx MAT revision must be used to successfully communicate with Lynx NGT-9000s.
Refer to the Software Revisions information in the General information section for details.
NOTE
The revision of the Lynx MAT must be compatible with the unit’s
software release. Refer to software rev isi ons in the Gen eral info rmation
section for details. The revision of the Lynx MAT can be found in the
Help/About menu at the top of the screen.
Persons performing the checkout should monitor the Lynx MAT status bar. The bottom left corner of the
screen provides information on connection type and communication status.
• The communication status is either “Connected – green indicator” or “Not Connected – red indicator”.
• Messages are also shown on the right side of the status bar providing guidance to the user.
• The operational status of the unit is shown on the Lynx MAT and is located at the top of the panel
(next to the model ID) and on the status bar. The operational status is either “Flight” or “Maint”.
When “Flight” status is shown the unit is in ei the r “Normal Operation” or in “Ground Test” modes.
When “Maint” status is shown the unit is in “Maintenance” mode, with or without Wifi. The Restart
function of the Lynx MAT may be used to restart into Normal Operational mode, Maintenance mode
