• Select a position away from heat sources. Care for adequate
convection cooling.
• Leave sufficient space for the installation of cables and connectors.
• Avoid sharp bends and wiring close to control cables.
• Leave sufficient lead length for inspection or repair of the wiring of
the connector (containing the memory), so that when the mounting
hardware for the rear connectors is removed, the assembly may be
pulled forward several inches.
• Bend the harness at the rear connectors to inhibit water droplets
(formed due to condensation) from collecting in the connector.
• For mounting details/drawing refer to chapter 3.12.2 Mounting
Advices.
For storage or reshipment the original packaging should be
used.

3.6 Equipment Connections
3.6.1 Electrical Connections
One 15 pin D-SUB miniature connector includes all electrical
connections, except for the antenna. Use only an External Memory
Adapter TRT800EM or TRT800EMSS as they are part of the certification
and include a memory with the stored ICAO 24bit Aircraft Address.
3.6.1.1 Mutual Suppression
Other equipment on board (e. g. DME) may transmit in the same
frequency band as the transponder.
If such a device is installed a suppression wiring shall be installed in
order to protect the receiving parts of the different devices from in-band
transmissions.
Mutual suppression is a synchronous pulse that is sent to the other
equipment to suppress transmission of a competing transmitter for the
duration of the pulse train transmission. The transponder transmission
may be suppressed by an external source and vice versa.
To activate mutual suppression connect the SUPP_I/O signal to the
according signals of the other equipment
3.6.1.2 Ground Switch
If an external Ground-Switch is connected to the transponder and
activated in the setup, the transponder can detect if the aircraft is
airborne or on the ground This allows the transponder to automatically
activate the Ground mode whenever the aircraft is on ground.
In order to activate this feature, the input „FLY-GND“ must be connected
to an external switch which connects the input pin with „GND“ when the
gear is weighted, or remains open in the other case.
This feature must additionally be activated in the Setup. For details on
configuration please refer to section 4.2.1.
The (+UB)-wire has to protected by circuit breaker (2 Amp.)!

Operation and Installation
20 Document-No: 03.2124.010.71e / Revision: 1.00
3.6.1.3 Auto-On
The Auto-On input allows to define how the transponder will behave
when power is supplied to it.
If the aircraft is equipped with a dedicated avionics master switch that
switches the power supply to the transponder, the pin "Auto-On" must be
wired together with the UB+ pin to the avionic master switch. The on/off
button on the transponder is without function in that case. The
transponder will start automatically whenever power is supplied.
On aircraft without such an avionics master switch, the pin "Auto-On"
must be left unconnected. In this case, the transponder must be switched
on and off via the transponder's on/off button on the front panel.
3.6.2 Static Air Port
Install a silicon soft tube fitting the 5 mm static air port at the backside of
the transponder and secure plumbing with appropriate clamps.

3.8 Antenna
3.8.1 Antenna Selection
• Recommended antennas: see section 3.11 Accessories
• Choose an antenna type compatible with the vehicle and the
mounting location.
• Specified features depend on proper installation of the antenna.
• The radiation pattern needs to be verified considering aircraft type
and mounting location.
• The electrical interference between the antenna and any other
equipment must be taken into account in such a way that no
reduction of the performance of any other system will occur.
• Install only certified antennas!
3.8.2 Installation Recommendation
• Take note of the antenna manufacturer’s instructions.
• The usually deployed Dipole- or Blade antennas necessarily
require a high frequency capable solid metal ground plane at the
antenna base.
• For installation in composite aircrafts, ground planes are to be
added. The ground plane should be as large as possible but in any
case not smaller than 10 cm x 10 cm. If in doubt, please contact
the aircraft manufacturer.
• Keep away three feet from any other antenna.
• Pursue mounting in vertical position under the belly in flight
direction.

• Keep wiring as short as possible.
• The smallest cable bend radius is 10cm. Avoid sharp bends.
• Keep away from an ADF antenna cable at least 12 inches.
• Electrical connections to the antenna shall be protected against
moisture to avoid loss of efficiency.
3.9 Post-Installation Check
All steering and control functions of the aircraft are to be examined, in
order to exclude disturbances by the wiring.
The most important factor in the transponder configuration is the setting
of the ICAO address (see section 4.2.1).
Attenuation from antenna to transponder at 1090 MHz must
not exceed 1.5 dB!
A
certified maintenance shop must verify proper operation of
the transponder by testing in accordance with Appendix F of
“14 CFR Part 43 – ATC Transponder Tests and
Inspections”.

4.1 Overview
The TRT800H is capable of storing the following information:
• ICAO 24-Bit Aircraft-Address (AA), see section 4.2.1
• Aircraft Category (AC), see section 4.1.3, e.g.
o „19“ for gliders
o „21“ for aircrafts with a MTOW below 15.500 lbs, motor glider
o „1C“ for ultra light aircraft
• Flight Identification (FID), e.g. „DEOLK“, see section 4.1.4
(Important: Enter FID without
any blanks and dashes!)
• Ground-Switch (Yes/No), see section 4.1.5
• Speed Category (RI), see section 4.1.6
• RS232 Interface Configuration, e. g. for connecting a GPS-
Receiver to support ADS-B Out
All of these data are configurable in the Setup (refer to section 4.2.1) and
are stored in the external memory module integrated within the housing
of the D-Sub connector (included in the delivery).
The cable with this connector shall remain in the aircraft even if the unit
is removed, to ensure that the ICAO 24bit aircraft address is fixed to the
aircraft.
4.1.1 Error Logging
If errors occur, those will be internally stored in the order of appearance.
The error list can be displayed as described in chapter 4.2.2 Functions
Overview.
4.1.2 ICAO 24-Bit Aircraft Address (AA)
Ask your national aviation authority (e. g. in Germany: LBA, Referat B5,
Department “Verkehrszulassung”) how to obtain the AA. In the case of
aerial sports equipment the contact point would be the respective
associations.
TRT800H / P/N 800ATC-H-(2xx)-(2xx)
Operation and Installation
29Document-No: 03.2124.010.71e / Revision: 1.00
Only the assigned AA has to be used and must not be modified at any
time, because a duplicate address would jeopardize the data
surveillance and integrity figures of Mode S.
If no AA is stored, after power on the display shows
“CRADLE OFF” and the transponder operates in Mode A/C.
(Configuration of the AA: see section 4.2.1)
4.1.3 Aircraft Category (AC)
Code Description Code Description
11 Emergency Vehicle 1C Ultra-Light / Paraglider
12 Service Vehicle 1E Drone
19 Glider 21 Aircraft (D-Exxx) < 15.500 lbs,
Motor Glider (D-Kxxx)
1A Balloon & Airship 22 Aircraft
≥ 15.500 lbs,< 75.000 lbs
1B Paratrooper 27 Rotorcraft
Only one of the Codes mentioned in the table above must
be used.
4.1.4 Flight-ID (FID)
Per ICAO regulation Mode-S data must contain a valid flight identification
(FID), to ensure that the correlation between flight plan and radar data
will work automatically.
FID setting is required to correspond to the aircraft identification that has
been (correctly!) specified at item 7 of the ICAO flight plan. It contains
seven characters at a maximum (left-aligned, no additional zeros,
dashes or spaces/blanks.)
For an aircraft using a company call sign, the Flight-ID mostly consists of
the ICAO three-letter designator for the aircraft operator, followed by an
identification code, e.g. KLM511, BAW213, JTR25.
TRT800H / P/N 800ATC-H-(2xx)-(2xx)
Operation and Installation
30 Document-No: 03.2124.010.71e / Revision: 1.00
If no company call sign is used or no flight plan is filed, the default FID to
be set consists of the registration marking of the aircraft (e.g. DEABC)
with no dashes, spaces/blanks or additional zeros, even if they are
included in the registration marking on the aircraft (tail number). While
entering the FID into the transponder the last remaining digits must be
filled with blanks.
The ICAO Flight Plan only specifies 7 characters for FID.
Funkwerk Avionics reserves 8 characters as stated in ED73B for further expansion of the flight plan.
The user shall only program 7 characters for FID.
4.1.5 Option Ground-Switch
If a ground switch is connected (and activated in the setup!), the
transponder is able to determine on-ground and in-flight state. In the onground state, the ground mode is automatically activated (symbol 'G'
shown on the display).
With a connected ground switch (see section 3.6.1.2) the transponder
automatically changes into ground mode once the gear touches the
ground. For this, the setup must be configured accordingly. For a
detailed description of the setup progress, please refer to section 4.2.1
Setup Steps.
In ground mode, the transponder will reply differently to certain
addressed interrogations. Also, the transmission rate of some
periodically sent data (squitters, ADS-B) is reduced. This allows ATC to
distinguish between airborne aircraft and those on the ground and it
reduces the Mode S channel load.
For small aircraft, authorities normally do not require such a ground
switch. In this case, the transponder will use the same data formats on
the ground as in the airborne state.

Operation and Installation
31Document-No: 03.2124.010.71e / Revision: 1.00
4.1.6 Reply Information - Speed Category (RI)
Besides AA, AC and FID another important part of the Mode-S data is
the Speed Category of the respective aircraft. This speed category shall
be configured in the setup (see 4.2.1) and must contain one of the
following codes.
Code Description
08 No maximum airspeed data available.
09 Maximum airspeed ≤ 75 kt
10 75 kt > maximum airspeed ≤ 150 kt
11 150 kt > maximum airspeed ≤ 300 kt
12 300 kt > maximum airspeed ≤ 600 kt
13 600 kt > maximum airspeed ≤ 1200 kt
14 Maximum airspeed > 1200 kt
15 Not assigned
4.1.7 Serial Interface (RS232)
With the additionally available address adaptor TRT800EMSS the
RS232 interface can be connected to a GPS receiver, to support the
ADS-B Out functionality (Broadcasting of own position which could be
received by other appropriately equipped aircrafts and processed for
collision avoidance).
Selectable Options (How to proceed, see 4.2 Configuration):
• GPS-Receiver for ADS-B out

4.2 Configuration
Programming of the ICAOA 24-bit Aircraft Address and of
the Aircraft Category shall be executed by qualified
personnel only!
A wrong Aircraft Address or Flight ID may cause serious
problems ATC or with ACAS/TCAS systems!
Pilot and owner
are responsible for correctly set
transponder data.
4.2.1 Setup Steps
Initially after installation
The entered ICAO 24-bit address is stored in one out of eight possible
records (Record=Presetting). Beside the 24bit address and the FID one
record stores also the settings made for the serial interface (GPS/COMM
A/B) and also for the optionally installed Ground-Switch. A stringently
required input is the speed category (RI) of the respective aircraft (see
section 4.1.6 “Reply Information - Speed Category (RI)“).
All those data are stored in one record. If more than one record exists, a
record can be selected out of a list during start-up of the transponder.
Step Display (Example)
