It operates on the secondary radar principle and enables the particular ground stations to locate, identify and track aircraft for the purposes of air traffic control. The transponder can also be used to transmit special information to the air traffic controllers (ATC) at the same time. 2. General description A.The ATC 3401 transponder is constructed as a single module unit designed for installation in the instrument panel or control panel of an aircraft. The dimensions correspond to the ARINC standard for control panels and it is secured in place by means of four DZUS fasteners. B.All controls are located on the front panel of the unit. The unit connector for connecting the aircraft wiring and the antenna socket are fitted on the back of the transponder. C.The control panel contains the electrical modules, processor board and display board. D.The electronic equipment of the transceiver consists of the encoder/power supply module, the receiver/decoder module and the transmitter tube. The receiver/decoder module can be swung out for servicing, thus making all the components of the transponder readily accessible. The transmitter tube is bolted to the side of the unit frame. E.The transponder is ready to operate within 30 seconds of switch on. During this period the display test is performed and the transmitter tube is warmed up and stabilized. F.The following modes are possible with the transponder : (1) Standby mode (SBY) (2)ON mode (mode A) where a code set on the transponder is transmitted back in response to interrogation from a ground station. (3)ALT mode (mode C) where in addition to the facility in mode A the encoded aircraft altitude is also transmitted, provided a coding altimeter is connected to the transponder. (4)Indication of flight level (altitude/100) if a coding altimeter is connected to the transponder. INSTALLATION AND OPERATION ATC 3401 Page 1-1 34-50-07 July 15/97 (5)Additional identification information whereby the ident button of the trans- ponder is pressed on instructions from the air traffic controller. The iden- tification pulse (SPI pulse) transmitted in this case enables immediate identification of the aircraft on the controller’s radar screen, by means of an additional marking on the object display. (6)Test function by pressing the TEST push-button in which all digits flash in the displays and the reply lamp comes on. 3.

The manuals DV 60602.03 ("Installation and Operation") and DV 60602.04 (Maintenance and Repair") contain the following section : SectionDV 60602.03DV 60602.04 1General InformationXX 2InstallationXX 3OperationXX 4Theory of operationX 5Maintenance and RepairX 6Illustrated Parts ListX 7Modification and ChangesX 8Circuit Diagramsx 1.2Purpose of equipment This remote-control VHF-transceiver RT 3209 - ( ) is controlled by a CU 5209 - ( ) control unit (or equal). The transceiver enables voice communication on 760 channels in the 118.000 MHz to 136.975 MHz range with a channel spacing of 25 kHz. It complies with the requirements of ICAO Annex 10 valid from 01.01.1995. RT 3209 - ( ) DV 60602.03/04 Issue 08/97Page 1-1 1.3General description The transceiver is designed for installation in the avionics compartment. The following are mounted on the connector end. The equipment connector for connecting to the aircraft system. The antenna socket for connecting the antenna. The electronic system of the unit consists of the following circuit boards, which are connected to each other by connectors. l 1. Audio board l 2 Connector board l 3. Receiver board l 4 Transmitter board l 5. Processor board The processor board is secured to the front panel by three bolts. The microcontroller as well as the necessary storage and peripheral components are located on the processor board. The VHF transceiver is fitted with a single superheterodyne receiver. A squelch (muting) circuit suppresses transmitters or disturbances below a certain field strength. The switching threshold can be set. The squelch function can also be switched off. The transmitter is designed to be wideband over the 118.000 MHz to 136.975 MHz range. The sidetone is automatically switched to the headphone output during transmission. The oscillator frequency of the receiver and the transmitting frequency of the transmitter are generated by a VCO (voltage controlled oscillator). This is monitored by a digital frequency evaluation circuit. This digital frequency processing operates in conjunction with a microprocessor. The microphone inputs are designed for parallel both dynamic and standard microphones. The inputs are connected to a dynamic volume compressor which keeps the modulation voltage constant over a wide input voltage range. Aircraft internal communication is possible in the IC (intercom) mode. Activation is by means of an external IC button (or switch) which is to be connected to the equipment connector. The AF auxiliary input enables AF signal switching of auxiliary units in the aircraft. The switched AF signals can, however, only be monitored in the reception mode. RT 3209 - ( ) Page 1-2DV 60602.03/04 Issue 08/97 Special functions The transceiver contains some special functions which can be set in the service mode in conjuntion with the control unit CU 5209 - ( ). l The squelch sensitivity, IC, sidetone and audio external input volume l The frequency setting can be inhibited. The transceiver then operates only on the frequencies stored in the storage channels. l The storage of frequencies in the storage channels can be inhibited. l Access to the service mode can be interlocked with a 4-digit password. 1.4Variants survey Type designationPart No.:Transmitter outputPower supply voltage RT 3209 - (11) 60602-0000.000 0505.668-910≥ 6,5W ≥ 10W 13,75V 27,5 V 1.5Technical data 1.5.1Power supply Nominal supply voltage13.75 V.d.c.
