Features
In order to operate the Mode-S transponder it is necessary to request (in time) an ICAO 24-Bit Aircraft Address at the responsible
National Aviation Authorities. The received code must be configured within the transponder (see chapter. 3.1.2 “Flight-ID (FID) &
Set-Up”).
• Class 1 Level 2els Non-Diversity Mode-S-Transponder for ground based interrogations at 1030 MHz and response at 1090 MHz
• Replies to Secondary Radar Interrogations
o Mode-A replies with a Squawk (one of 4096 possible Codes; e.g. flight
plan number, Squawk assigned by a Controller or the VFR Squawk).
o Mode C replies, including Encoded Flight Level.
o Mode S replies, including Aircraft Address and Flight Level.
o Event Squitter, containing Identification Information.
o Extended Squitter, including position data.
• IDENT capability for activating the Special Position Identification“- Pulse (SPI)
for 18 seconds, which is requested by the Controller „Squawk Ident“
• Maximum flight level 30 000ft; maximum airspeed 250kt
• Display information contains Squawk code, mode of operation and pressure alti-
tude.
•
Temperature compensated
high
precision
piezo-resistive pressure sensor
• RS-232 data port enabling connection with mutual suppression and On the
Ground (weight on wheels) inputs. In addition, an appropriate GPS receiver for
“extended squitter” can be connected.
• 8 storable entries for AA-/AC-Code, FID,
•
Ground-Switch support, RI-Code.

The device is switched on/off by pushing the mechanically locked key. After power
up, the display appears as follows (example):
Device Name

Software-Version
e.g. V.0101
Firmware-Version
e.g. FPGA: 6.0
After approx. 2 seconds the normal operation window appears and the transponder will enter the mode ALT. If a weight on wheels switch is installed and the aircraft
is on ground the mode GND will be set.
No GND switch installed GND-switch installed, on GND

In case that multiple Flight ID’s are present, the screen will first display the selection menu for
one of the Flight ID’s:
Select the correct Flight ID by rotating the rotary knob to the one you chose and confirm by
pushing. The screen will switch automatically to the normal operation window.
2.1.5. Adjusting the Squawk
When pushing the rotating knob in the normal operating mode, the first number of the standby squawk turns green, and can be adjusted by rotating the rotary knob. Pushing the rotary
knob will save the selected number and jump to the next digit which also will turn green during adjustment.
Continue with the remaining numbers in this way until the desired squawk is set.
With the toggle button you can turn the stand-by squawk into the active squawk.
The active squawk is always on the top line.
