For diversity one antenna is installed on the top side, and the other on the bottom side of the aircraft fuselage (detailed type description see "Type Plate", page 31).

The BXT6513-(0XX) operates on rad ar frequencies; r eceiving ground radar and ACAS inter rogations and replies via its transmitter with coded pulse packages on 1090 MHz. A special position identification pulse (SPI) can be added for a period of 18 seconds to each pulse package after activation of the dedicated discrete signal input on the unit.

The BXT6513-(0XX) meets Mode S Enhanced Surveillance (EHS) requirements.EHS parameters require additional interface with other aircraft systems and the BXT6513-(0XX). Aircraft that can provide the list of eight Do wnlink Aircraft Param eters (DAPs) listed in BDS regis ters 4.0, 5.0 and 6.0 are considered to be Mode S EHS capable. Aircraft that cannot provide these parameters will be considered as, not EHS capable.

1.4.1. Fixed and Non-Volatile Data

The BXT6513-(0XX) configuration is stored in a non-volatile memory. There are two possibilities where to store configuration data:

• Use the internal memory

• Use the external memory module EM6100.

The selection of equipment configuration source is done by hardware configuration (see “Unit Configuration", page 46).

The picture shows a typical location for top and bottom antenna installation for Diversity Mode S transponder.

A safe distance to the installed antenna must be ensured by corresponding installation measures around human body damage (e.g. at the eyes) and/or avoid the inflammation of combustible materials by radiated energy.

Figure 5: Antenna Installation (Diversity)

Transponder antennas should be installed as far away as practical from:

• Other antennas,

• Sha do wing prod uc ed b y other inst allat ions on the surface of the aircraft body,

• Exhaust path of the engine(s),

• Landing gear doors or other openings.

• Check the skin panels for sufficient bonding before the antenna installation.

• Separate the transponder antennas from DME and TCAS as much as possible

(approx. 1.8 m or 6 feet as guideline).

• Generally, transponder antennas should not be closer to the XPDR transceiver installed as 3 ft. Otherwise RF interference may occur.

• Mount the main antenna on the bottom of the aircraft fuselage in a vertical position, same as the top antenna. Horizontal separation of both antennas should not exceed

7.6 meters (25 ft).

• Follow the manufacturer´s installation instruction for the antenna to ensure achieving maximum performance of the BXT6513-(0XX).

• If existing antennas on the aircraft will be used an inspection of the area between antenna and the aircraft skin is highly recommended to avoid negative effects of possible corrosion in this area.

• On composite aircraft, add sufficient ground plane material.
