Preparer: Date: Engineer: Date: Product Manager: Date: Quality Manager: Date: CHANGE RECORD Paragraph Description Of Change Approval/ Date Revision Initial release - 1 Introduction This document establishes one part of the baseline of configuration data for the Spectra Lux Corporation product called Dlink+. This product was originally co-developed under the Pentar name “CMS-1000”. In October of 2003, Pentar Systems Inc. and Spectra Lux Corporation dissolved their team, and agreed that each company should proceed to develop the future of the product individually. TSO approval was granted for the product prior to the decision to separate the programs. Spectra Lux Corporation is therefore establishing a certification package based on the previous documentation. Appendix A of this document contains Pentar document 5630-5101-A00, Rev A. This certification baseline document allows us to establish an SLC numbering system for documentation of future differences between the Dlink+ product and the CMS-1000 product.

To date, there have been no hardware design changes. The printed circuit boards used in the existing units are identical to those used in the units used for certification/qualification testing. In fact, the exact same GERBER files (the files that define the board design and layout) have been used for all units to date. There have been no component changes since any and all certification/qualification testing. The changes that have been made can be categorized into two categories; cosmetic and software. The cosmetic changes consist of changing the unit’s model name from CMS-1000 to DLink+ and the corresponding change to the units nameplate marking. The software changes have all been associated with protocol issues to allow the unit to use the ARINC VHF network. These changes have no effect on the RF modulation or output. ARINC requires complex protocol for the receiving and processing of the messages that are exchanged over their network between the aircraft and their ground stations. It should be noted that the DLink+ can only communicate via RF by using the ARINC VHF network. Please contact the undersigned if there are further questions.

Type or types of emissions: Emissions Designator: W7D RF Emissions From the Unit :: The unit complies with Section 21, Category M RTCA DO-160D standards for LRU RF Emissions. The following characterizes the emissions from the RF Transmitter. Spurious Emissions from Transmitter : When the transmitter is active and operating at full power, and terminated in a resistive load equal to the nominal output impedance, the power of any spurious emission at the output of the transmitter is as follows: • <0.25 microwatts within a bandwidth of 1 KHz on any frequency in the range of 9 kHz to 150 kHz • <0.25 microwatts within a bandwidth of 10 KHz on any frequency in the range of 150 kHz to 30 MHz • <0.25 microwatts within a bandwidth of 100 KHz on any frequency in the range of 30 MHz to 108 MHz • <0.25 microwatts within a bandwidth of 100 KHz on any frequency in the range of 108 MHz to 117.5 MHz • <0.25 microwatts within a bandwidth of 10 KHz on any frequency in the range of 117.5 MHz to 117.8 MHz • <0.25 microwatts within a bandwidth of 10 KHz on any frequency in the range of 137.175 MHz to 137.475 MHz • <0.25 microwatts within a bandwidth of 100 KHz on any frequency in the range of 137.475 MHz to 1 GHz Additionally, the level of spurious emissions at discrete frequencies, excluding harmonics) in the following bands does not exceed 4 nanowatts • 47 to 68 MHz • 88 to 108 MHz • 162 to 244 MHz • 328 to 336 MHz z Page 3 May 28, 2004 • 470 to 862 MHz Harmonic Emissions from the Transmitter : Harmonic emission products are less than 60 dB below rated RF output power (-60 dBc). Frequency Range: The unit operates at discrete frequencies spaced 25 kHz apart starting at 118 MHz and ending at 136.975. Range of Operating Power: When on the ground (in the airport environment) the unit’s RF power is restricted to 4 watts. When not on the ground and in Mode 0 (MSK) modulation, RF power is at 10 + 1 watts. When not on the ground and in Mode 2 (D8PSK) modulation, RF power is 15+ 1 watts. Maximum Operating Power: 16 watts DC Voltages Applied and DC currents of final RF Device in Normal Operation: Bias Driver PA Voltage: 3.97V Bias HPA Voltage: 3.72V Driver PA Current: 234 mA HPA Current: 1.61 A Total Current: 1.844 A Total Gain: 31 dBm Tune-up Procedure: The procedure for operational tuning is detailed in ARINC Specification 618-4 in section 5.6. To briefly summarize the procedure, the unit, at power up, is tuned to 131.55 MHz. It awaits an uplink (usually in the form of a squitter). The squitter is broadcast from the ARINC ground station on the base frequency (131.55 MHz) about every 2 minutes in light traffic and every 10 minutes in heavy traffic. The squitter instructs the unit what frequency to tune to and broadcast on. The unit then sends a link message and two way communications are established. During this process (while at 131.55 MHz) the unit transmits in Mode 0 (MSK). The squitter may instruct the unit to tune 136.975 MHz and indicate that the station supports Mode 2 operation (D8PSK), in which case the unit will trans…
