This product is partially compliant to TSO C74d due to the absence of a human interface. All control and exchange of data is made via a serial data interface (RS232). The T2000UAV-VL is based upon the certified T2000SFL transponder, and is compliant with the following: TSO: C74d (INCOMP) Environmental: RTCA/DO-160F Hardware: RTCA/DO-254 Software: RTCA/DO-178B Transponder Function: RTCA/DO-144A FCC: Part 2, Part 87 Microair Avionics T2000UAV-VL Install and User Manual T2000UAV-VL Installation and User Manual 01R1.doc Page 5 of 21 1 st December 2010 2.0 T2000UAV-VL DESCRIPTION The UAV-L version of the T2000SFL has no display. The chassis has been truncated by having the display housing milled off. The front face is plated off and sealed. A command set allows the UAV’s flight management system to have full functional control over the transponder. The RS-232 interface is accessed from the DB-25 connector on the rear face of the chassis. The T2000UAV-VL receives all identity code and altitude data over the RS-232 interface from the UAV’s flight management system. The T2000UAV-VL features external lines for suppression in and suppression out functions. 2.1 T2000UAV-VL ANTENNA OPTIONS The T2000UAV-VL can be supplied with a standard BNC connector located on the rear face of the chassis, adjacent to the DB-25. Part Number: T2000UAV-VL_01R1 Order Number: T2000UAV-VL_MA1358_01R1-0 The T2000UAV-VL can be supplied with a standard TNC connector located on the rear face of the chassis, adjacent to the DB-25. Part Number: T2000UAV-VL_01R1 Order Number: T2000UAV-VL_MA1359_01R1-0 Microair Avionics T2000UAV-VL Install and User Manual T2000UAV-VL Installation and User Manual 01R1.doc Page 6 of 21 1 st December 2010 3.0 SOFTWARE CONTROL The T2000UAV-VL can be controlled by issuing of commands in the form of ASCII characters, sent and received over an RS232 interface. The command set can be used to either poll the transponder of the status of a parameter, or to command a function to a particular setting. 3.1 MICROAIR UAV TERMINAL SOFTWARE The T2000UAV-VL is supplied with UAV Control software to which it is capable of issuing all commands, and polling for all parameters. The terminal software is a simple EXE file, and is compatible with windows 98 through to windows XP operating systems. The terminal software is capable of issuing all of the commands, to either poll for any of the parameters, or to set any of the parameters to discrete values. Microair Avionics T2000UAV-VL Install and User Manual T2000UAV-VL Installation and User Manual 01R1.doc Page 7 of 21 1 st December 2010 3.2 THE UAV COMMAND STRUCTURE The T2000UAV-VL is controlled by a series of simple commands. The T2000UAV-VL can be commanded to set a code, and to operate in a particular mode. Once the code is set, and the operating mode decided, the T2000UAV-VL will operate until another command is received. The status the T2000UAV-VL’s various operating parameters can be queried. A query command returns a value for that particular parameter. The operator can address the T2000UAV with a command from the command set, via an RS232 interface. The command requires the correct syntax, to be valid. The command string will consist of STXx=<command>ETX Where STX is the non-printable ASCII character (02) ETX is the non-printable ASCII character (03) x is a valid command <command> may be either ? or a string of ASCII characters, if the <command> is a ?, this will evoke a response with the current status for that command 3.3 DATA SPEED The RS232 interface for the T2000UAV-VL has a data rate of: 9600,N,8,1,P where 9600 = baud rate of 9600 8 = 8 data bits 1 = 1 stop bit P = with XON / XOFF Refer to section 10.0 for wiring details and pin assignments.

A minimum safe distance between the user / general public and the device has been calculated below. In accordance with Section 1.1310 the Maximum Permissible Exposure (MPE) power density limit for the General Population / Uncontrolled Exposure of 0.73 mW/m 2 (1090/1500) has been applied. Power density, mW/m 2 = E 2 /3770 E for MPE: (1090/1500) = E 2 /3770 E = (1090/1500)*3770 E = 52.5 V/m The minimum distance from the antenna at which the MPE is met is calculated from the equation relating field strength in V/m, transmit power in watts, transmit antenna gain and separation distance in metres: The rated maximum power of this transmitter is 200 watts with a duty cycle of 0.1% which gives a mean power of 0.2 watts In a typically mobile installation this transceiver would be used with a whip ¼ wave dipole type of antenna with a gain of 1.64. d =  (30 * P * G) / E =  (30 * 0.2 * 1.64 ) / 52.5 = 0.06 metres or 6 cm The above calculations that this device will meet the MPE requirement for mobile devices providing a safe distance of at least 6 cm is provided. A warning to this affect will need to be inserted in the equipment manual. Result: Complies
