SECTION 2

INSTALLATION

2.1 GENERAL INSTALLATION INFORMATION

2.1.1 Safety Precautions

It is the task of the site supervisor or construction manager to make available the materials supplied by
THALES Italia s.p.a., independently procured special materials and tools. For every site, strict attention
should be paid to safety regulations issued by the local authorities.

2.1.1.1 General rules

The following rules should be observed for prevention of accidents:

- Consum ption of alcohol in any form is forbidden on the installation site.

- Drunken persons or those under influence of alcohol will not be tolerated on the installation site.

- Protective goggles and safety gloves are to be worn when work is being carried out on batteries. Rinsing
water, soda and several cleaning cloths should be available.

- Sturdy shoes, safety gloves and safety helmets are to be worn.

- Protruding nails, strips etc. must be removed immediately. Ladders and planks must always be carefully
checked before use.

- Do not tread on protruding plank sections.

- Never leave objects on scaffolding or ladders.

- Scaffolding or frames are to be erected sturdily and must always be tested before use.

- Test electrical devices and extension cables for accident safety.

- Remove fuses before carrying out work on mains.

- Wear protective goggles when carrying out sanding or drilling operations.

- Sand off burr from chisels and punches in good time.

- Test striking tools for tightness of fit.

- Do not put pointed or sharp objects into working-clothing pockets.

- Jewelry such as chains and rings should be removed when working on building sites - especially when
working with electrical devices.

- Always keep escape routes clear.

- Every employee on an installation site should know:

• where the First-Aid box is kept

• the telephone number of the nearest casualty doctor and eye specialist

• where the fire extinguisher is kept

• the location of hazardous areas on the way to the work place, or at the work place itself.

Damage caused by animals is highly improbable. The door of the shelter or equipment room should be

locked in the absence of the personnel.

DME 415/435 -Technical Manual

Vol. 1-Section 2 - Installation

2.2 INSTALLATION PRELIMINARY

The operator must perform the following operations when installing the beacon:

 Select and prepare the site;
 Unpacking, Paging and shipping;
 Typical installation

• ground the equipment;

• connect the power supplies;

• connect the antenna.

• I/O connections

The following connections may also be necessary, depending on the beacon configuration selected
and the options used:

• connection the facility with associated equipment;

• connection with other equipment.

2.3 INSTALLATION SITE SELECTION

The area in which a DME is to be installed is determined by the responsible Civil Aviation Authority
according to the international air traffic regulations.
The area is dependent on the type of obstacle. Also clearance and runway configuration (e.g. overrun,
clearway, stopway) in case located in terminal area.

The following site selection guidelines are general recommendation and only guiding values for information.
The exact values are locally dependent decisions, which are made during installation. They are computed
with formulas, which take in account of terrain, obstacles and other. See Appendix "A – DME Antenna Siting
Area Criteria", on this volume.

The installation is determined by means of a site survey at which a surveyor must always be present.
THALES Italia s.p.a. is able to provide engineering consultants on site for this survey.

The DME installation area selection depends on the following using conditions:

1) Terminal Area beacon
a) DME (substituting or integrating MARKER functions) placed with ILS equipment

In this case, DME antenna, usually directional antenna, is mounted on Glide Slope antenna mast
and the DME equipment is installed into Glide Path shelter.

b) Stand-alone

DME with omnidirectional antenna on its own mast and equipment installed into a suitable
shelter. The area is dependent on clearance and runway configuration.

2) In route beacon

(External zone site and normally far away from terminal area), with or without associated VOR
equipment: see Appendix "A – DME Antenna Siting Area Criteria", on this volume

2.4 EQUIPMENT SITE LOCATION

The ground beacon may be installed in a control room or inside a shelter, which complies with the
environmental temperature, humidity and pressure values listed in Section 4. Bear in mind that the
equipment has the following overall dimensions:

− height: 1730 mm,

− width: 580 mm,

− depth: 635 mm cabinet code 297509007or 610 mm cabinet code 297509004

the amount of space around the equipment must be as follows:

− more than a value between the rear part of the beacon and the wall or any other piece of equipment, to
allow the operator to open the rear door of the equipment.
Make it possible support the back part of the cabinet to a wall, in as all the operations of cables and
connectors assemblage, could be performed on front.

− a minimum of 30 cm between the top of the beacon and the ceiling of the control room or the shelter to
leave space for the external connection cables and to allow access to the antenna connector and to the
antenna probes connectors;

− a minimum of 60 cm between the front of the beacon and the wall or any other piece of equipment, to
allow the operator to open the front door.

The base must be able to support the total weight of the equipment (approx. 200/230 kg including the
optional modules) within the range of dynamic stress envisaged for the equipment.

The beacon does not normally need securing; if it is to be secured to the base, however, four M12 bolts
should be used and their fixing holes.

2.5 UNPACKING, PACKING AND SHIPPING;

The equipment should be unpacked as soon as possible in order to check that it is complete and intact. The
place of storage used for any intermediate storage period must be dry. The temperature range specified in
the technical data section 4 must be conformed to. The check list is inside the packing to which to refer.

The DME beacon and modules will be packed according to the national and international standards. The
packing procedure may be slightly different according to the way of shipping or to the destination country.

2.6 TYPICAL INSTALLATION

Figure

2.8 shows all the connections for beacon installation. Should this use an I/O system provided with the
LCSU unit in standard configuration; this figure also illustrates the characteristics of the cables used for
installation and provided by the manufacturer, as listed in table 2.1. The main characteristics of installation
cables are on figures 2.1 to 2.7. The reference item is shown on figures, internal at a circle.

Before connecting the cables check that the mains lead is dead and that the battery is not
connected (the breaker of mains and battery, on external electrical switchboard, must be OFF ).

, and fitted with a lug for attaching to the ground bolt, is

2.10 and figure 2.12 illustrate how the beacon is grounded.

One end of the cable is inserted in the lug terminal and the other end is connected to the local ground
network, which must comply with the safety regulations stipulated in the specifications.

2.6.3 Power supply connection

The equipment can be powered from either mains, or battery, or both.
The standard version can be powered from a external 48 Vdc. The BCPS rack must be added for VAC
operation and it can either be housed inside the equipment or installed externally as well.

Cabling connections are shown in figures

2.11 and 2.12.

The BCPS unit will have a different structure depending on the type of power supply used. Furthermore,
since the beacon is not provided with any on/off breakers. It will be provided from optional breaker AC and
DC recommended with independent switch for the two power supplies.

When collocated with a System 400 (D)VOR, NDB or ILS Systems a common power supply and battery will
be implemented.
The equipment may be supplied by the mains with a 194 to 260 Vac voltage, 48 to 64 Hz, single phase, or
by an source providing a rated 48 Vdc (external source or 48Vdc battery back-up) direct power supply (40
Vdc to 60 Vdc). Equipment consumption: refer to para. 4.10.1 section 4 on this volume

Connect the mains leads (L= mains phase; N = Neutral; Mains Ground = typical green-yellow color) and
battery leads (+polarity = red cable and negative polarity = black cable) to terminals on "terminal board" as
shown in figure

2.11 or 2.13.

Figure 2.14. Battery connections typical

Battery type and size depend on requirements.

Suggested batteries for back-up power supply must have the following characteristics:

- Output voltage: 48 V nominal (four 12 V unit serially connected: see fig.

2.14);

- Nominal discharge capacity: 50 A/h (this capacity ensures a time duration as at para. 4.10 of section 4);

- Low maintenance types or sealed types;

- Low self-discharge;

- Long life: >4 to 5 years;

- Temperature range: -20 to +50 °C;

- The charge from the equipment, at constant voltage, is typically: 2.25 V/element.

These required characteristics should be completed by technical information from the battery constructor.

CAUTION

The low maintenance battery group must be placed in a low-ventilated
environment, while the other sealed types, may be installed everywhere. In any
case, follow the battery constructor’s instructions.

2.6.3.1.1 Battery duration time (on 230Vac black-out)

The battery 50A/h (at end of 42V voltage), are the following:
DME415=20h - DME435=12h for TX2 stby, TX1 en service, and radiate 800 pps
DME415=18h - DME435=10h for TX2 stby, TX1 en service, and radiate 2700 pps
DME415=17h - DME435=7h pour TX2 stby, TX1 en service and radiate 4800 pps

NOTE: With battery 12 mounts old the back up period duration is typical degraded of 10/15% (see also

the technical information from the battery constructor)

2.6.4.1 Antenna coax cables-Attenuations and delays
The interrogating signal from the aircraft received on the beacon antenna, comes the antenna connector

SK1 (equipment input/output RF) with a delay Δt

which depends on the antenna coax cable.

RF

This delay, indicated in μs, is given through the following relation:

L

P

c

t

RF

where:

- L: Cable length expressed in m

- P: Relative propagation velocity (for LCF 1/2" cable, typical value: 88%)

- c: Light velocity (300 m/μs)

The low loss "LCF 1/2 inch" standard cable, has a delay of about 0.004 μs/m and an attenuation of about 0.073 dB/m.

The signal received in antenna comes the beacon receiver after a ΔtRF delay, is processed and, after the
reply delay (introduced by the transponder), returns to the antenna from where it is transmitted with an
additional delay Δt

(introduced by the antenna coax cable). If it is supposed that the beacon uses a "X"

RF

channel mode (50 μs reply delay), the total delay of the reply signal, generated by the antenna output
system, will be:

Rvel. = Δt

+ 50 μs + Δt

RF

= 2Δt

RF

+ 50 μs

RF

The measurement of the reply delay value and its automatic compensation, in 25ns steps compared to the
fixed value, is performed by the monitors through interrogating pulses (Pilot pulse) sent by the transponder
receiver.

The calculated value of the delay and the cables loss according to their length is shown as an example in
the following table

2-3):

2.6.4.2 Data entry calibration procedure for “EXTENDED CONFIGURATION”

Figure

2.16a) shows an example of typical installation with equipped standard cables.

For calibration and check of the correctness of the power parameters measurement displayed on windows
of the “CHECK”, preset the configuration “EXTENDED CONFIGURATION” (fig.

2.16b) with the procedures
here below (also see in this volume, Appendix “D” PC user EQPT Manager on paragraphs: "Executive
Monitoring on Antenna", "STD measurements & Routine Check on Antenna" and "UTILITY – DME
Configuration").

Remark: The peak power output calibration procedure of the TX100 ad TKW modules is described on

section 5 -MAINTENANCE- para. 5.3.4 and 5.3.5 of this volume. This procedure must be carried
out during the installation, in the event of substitution of module TX100 or/and TKW and also in
case the channel change.

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:

-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.
monitor to read measurements that are as equivalent as possible.
