GENERAL INFORMATION
1.0 INTRODUCTION
This manual contains information relative to the physical, mechanical and electri-
cal characteristics of the KMH 880/KTA 870 Multi-Hazard Awareness System. It
includes the basic guidelines, considerations and recommendations for the instal-
lation and ground checkout of KMH 880/KTA 870 Multi-Hazard Awareness System
and associated components. It is intended to provide the detail required to assist
the installer in preparation for installation and appropriate work instructions to
ensure a proper installation and checkout.
This manual assumes a familiarity with avionics installation practices, with sys-
tems on board the aircraft and access to manuals and regulations commensurate
with the installation of such equipment.
The information contained herein, together with the general procedures outlined in
FAA AC 43.13-1B and AC 43.13-2A should be followed carefully to ensure a safe
and electrically sound system installation.
The contents of this manual are for information and reference use only and must
not be construed as a formal FAA approved work authorization.
It is highly recommended that prior to beginning the installation of the KMH 880/
KTA 870 system that this manual is carefully reviewed. Upon review the necessary
configuration items and system requirements will be identified allowing a speedy
installation.
Operational information is contained in the KMH 880/KTA 870 Operators Manual

supplied with each unit.
1.1 PURPOSE
This manual will describe the detailed system requirements for the Bendix/King KMH 880
Multi-Hazard Awareness System and KTA 870 Traffic Advisory System . The KMH 880
combines TAS (Traffic Advisory System) with EGPWS (Enhanced Ground Proximity
Warning System). The KTA 870 has TAS only.

1.3 SYSTEM DESCRIPTION

1.3.1 Basic EGPWS System
The KMH 880 EGPWS is a revolutionary new step in Controlled Flight Into Terrain
(CFIT) protection. It is capable of producing advanced alerting for prevention of
CFIT accidents. In addition to the alerting protection the system will also produce
a terrain display. This display depicts relative terrain in reference to the lateral and
vertical positions of the aircraft.
The EGPWS is intended for Light Turbine and Piston Aircraft Operations. It has
effective operational performance in providing timely alerts and operational terrain
display to enhance situational awareness. This performance, coupled to the sys-
tem's simplicity, practicality, small size and weight, with a minimum number of
required aircraft sensors, provides a formidable safety value.
NOTE
The EGPWS portion of the KMH 820 is not suitable for helicopter operation.
No Radio Altimeter, Landing Gear or Flap discretes, or Glideslope receiver are

necessary. This significantly lowers the installation costs.
The KMH 880 is a system designed to minimize the system requirements down to
a level economical to the private pilot. It is the central component in the system
providing timely alerts and optional display of impending terrain incursions.
The KMH 820 is a TSO C151a Class B compliant unit.

B KMH 880/KTA 870
1.3.2 Basic TAS System
The Airborne TAS system is capable of surveillance of aircraft equipped with tran-
sponders (i.e., Mode S and ATCRBS) able to reply to ATCRBS Mode C interroga-
tions in their operational environments. This is a step toward determining
potential collisions and displaying traffic advisory information to the pilot. The TAS
system will interoperate with the U.S. National Standard Air Traffic Control Radar
Beacon System (ATCRBS) and perform reliably out to a range of ten nautical
miles for densities up to 0.08 aircraft per square nautical mile while complying with
all ATCRBS signals-in-space requirements. The TAS equipment will not degrade
either the electromagnetic or the air traffic environment.
When all features are implemented the equipment has the capabilities of the Traf-
fic Advisory System (TAS) defined by TSO-C147 Class A.
The TAS system will provide:
(1) An alert to the pilot using an audible and visual advisory of the proximity of
an intruder aircraft.
(2) The range to ± 0.1 nautical mile, altitude (if reported by surveilled aircraft),
and relative bearing of intruder aircraft with maximum installed accuracy of
± 30° with high reliability. If the intruder aircraft is transponder equipped,
within ten nautical miles, ± 10,000 feet relative altitude, and TAS is not in
interference limiting, it will be reliably detected and reported.
(3)Timely data that does not lag more than 2 seconds behind the actual rela-
tive position as seen by the pilot during normal flight operations.
(4) Probability of displaying false targets will be less than 2%. If they are dis-
played, they will not persist for more than a few seconds.
(5) No increase of traffic on the Secondary Surveillance Radar radio frequen-

cies in a manner that degrades the ATC system.
(6) Display of indications that do not encourage the pilot to maneuver without
first visually acquiring the other aircraft and determining that a maneuver is
required.
1.3.3 System Components
The KMH 880 Multi-Hazard Awareness System shall be composed of the KMH
820 (TAS/EGPWS Processor), a top mounted directional antenna (KA 815), a bot-
tom mounted antenna (a KA-815 directional antenna which shall provide esti-
mated bearing of target aircraft, or an omni-directional monopole antenna which
will not provide bearing information), a top mounted GPS antenna (KA 92), and a
Configuration Module (KCM 805).

B KMH 880/KTA 870
A Multifunctional Display Unit, KMD 540, shall provide control and display of traffic
(via the KAC 504 Traffic Card) and control and display of EGPWS data (via the
KAC 502 Adapter Card). Other displays that are compatible with ARINC 735A
may be used for traffic with this system. See Figure 1-1.
The KTA 870 Traffic Advisory System is similar to the KMH 880 except the KTA
810 Traffic Advisory Unit has only TAS and not EGPWS. The KTA 870 system
does not use a KA 92 GPS antenna. See Table 1-2 and Table 1-3 for a complete
description and part number listing for both systems.

1.3.4 System Operation
A. EGPWS System
1. EGPWS Modes of Operation
a. Optional Alerting and Warning Parameters
The EGPWS may also be installed in aircraft that do not require FAA approved
TAWS Systems, and may be utilized with an optional set of alerting and warning
parameters that are designed especially for smaller piston aircraft and their nor-
mal flight characteristics.

B KMH 880/KTA 870
A system configuration making use of these optional curves may require further
showing of compliance for the KMH 820 for installation approval
b. GPS Sensor
The KMH 880 contains an embedded GPS-XPRESS Card sensor that pro-
duces validated navigational position data by continuous signal acquisition
and tracking of the navigational satellite network. The GPS Sensor receives
the C/A code signals transmitted by the satellite network on the L1 frequency
of 1575.42 MHz. The sensor has 8 signal processing channels allowing 8 sat-
ellites to be tracked simultaneously. At least 4 satellites must be in view of the
antenna for the sensor to operate. The GPS Sensor uses data in the satel-
lites’ navigation messages to solve for latitude, longitude, altitude, horizontal
velocity, vertical velocity and current UTC.
GPS Data can also be supplied via the ARINC 743, 743A and RS 232
(KLN 94) interfaces.
A GPS Antenna Splitter could be used in liew of installing another antenna.

B KMH 880/KTA 870
B. TAS System
1. TAS Modes of Operation
a. Setup Mode
The system shall be configured using an external PC via the Diagnostic

(RS 232) Interface. Reference the Appendices for the programming proce-
dures.
b. Standby Mode
When the Standby mode is selected, the TAS Processor shall disable
surveillance and tracking operations.
The Standby mode may be activated by any of the following: discrete

selection, self-test, aircraft on ground (configuration option), or system failure.
c. Functional Test Mode
When the Functional Test mode is selected, the unit shall be placed into the
Standby mode and the Functional Test portion of BITE shall be performed.
d. TAS Operation (Traffic Advisory) Mode
When the TAS Operation mode is selected, the TAS Processor shall perform
all the surveillance functions and shall provide for the generation of traffic
advisories . The information conveyed in the traffic advisories is intended to
assist the flight crew in sighting nearby traffic.
e. TAS Processor
The TAS Processor shall provide intruder surveillance and tracking, generat-
ing traffic advisories for both Altitude-Reporting and Non-Altitude-Reporting
intruders to display potential conflicts and advisories to the flight crew.
The TAS Processor shall track intruders under surveillance and analyze
range and range rate data, and altitude of the traffic to determine whether
that intruder represents a threat.
The TAS Processor shall also select "proximate traffic" and "other traffic"
intruders to be displayed on the basis of their altitude relative to own aircraft.
The "other traffic" intruders are those that do not qualify to be TA or proximate
traffic but are displayed.

B KMH 880/KTA 870
NOTE
Optional (The TAS Processor may be controlled using discrete inputs).
C. Options
1. Display Option
TSO C151a-Class B does not require a display for terrain data, however, if at
all possible, terrain data should be displayed for the aircraft operator. The ter-
rain display greatly improves situational awareness. The EGPWS supports
numerous displays including traditional Radar displays as well as mode mod-
ern MFD’s.
Installations, which include a display, will also need to provide the EGPWS
with range data via ARINC 429 format.
2. Altitude Monitor Option
The EGPWS has the ability to monitor altitude sources and provide caution-
ary messages should an altitude source be suspected of being in error. This
feature compares barometric altitude with GPS altitude and generates a
“Check Altitude” message when an error is detected. This is a highly recom-
mended option, which can alert a pilot to problems such as a stuck altimeter
or plugged static port. This option requires no additional hardware and is
enabled during the system installation by programming the configuration
module. This feature can provide both audio and display messages.
3. Outside Air Temperature (OAT) (Recommended)
The EGPWS supports an OAT probe for aircraft operated in cold environ-
ments. Very cold air temperatures cause an increase in the density of the air
mass and can result in barometric altimeter errors, both in sensitive altime-
ters/encoders and blind encoders. Aircraft normally operated in very cold cli-
mates can benefit from the addition of an OAT probe interfaced to the
EGPWS. If the aircraft is equipped with an Air Data Computer which outputs
Digital data with Corrected Altitude on an ARINC 429 port, this can be used
instead of an encoder and external OAT Probe. OAT is programmed into the
configuration module during system installation.

The following paragraphs contain information pertaining to the installation of the

KMH 880/KTA 870 System, including instructions concerning location and mount-
ing of the antennas.

B KMH 880/KTA 870
The equipment should be installed in the aircraft in a manner consistent with

acceptable workmanship and engineering practices, and in accordance with the
instructions set forth in this publication. To ensure the system has been properly
and safely installed in the aircraft, the installer should make a thorough visual
inspection and conduct an overall operational check of the system, on the ground,
prior to flight.
CAUTION
AFTER INSTALLATION OF THE CABLING AND BEFORE

INSTALLATION OF THE EQUIPMENT, A CHECK SHOULD
BE MADE WITH THE AIRCRAFT PRIMARY POWER SUP-
PLIED TO THE MOUNTING CONNECTOR, TO ENSURE
THAT POWER IS APPLIED ONLY TO THE PINS SPECIFIED
IN THE INTERWIRING DIAGRAMS IN SECTION III.
Installation should be accomplished using the guidelines of FAA Advisory Circular

43.13-2A Change: 2 ACCEPTABLE METHODS, TECHNIQUES AND PRAC-
TICES -- AIRCRAFT ALTERATIONS.
The KMH 880/KTA 870 System installation will conform to standards designated
by the customer, installing agency, and existing conditions as to the unit location
and type of installation. However, the following suggestions should be carefully
considered before installing your system.
2.2.2 Avionics Cooling Requirements
The most important contribution to improved reliability of all avionics equipment is

to limit the maximum operating temperature of the individual unit, whether panel
mounted or remote mounted. While modern circuit designs consume less total
energy, the heat dissipated per unit volume (Watts/cubic inch) remains much the
same due to contemporary high density packaging techniques. While each indi-
vidual unit may not require forced air cooling, the combined heat generated by
several units operating in a typical panel or rack, can significantly degrade the reli-
ability of the equipment. Consequently, the importance of providing force air cool-
ing to avionics equipment mounted in either a panel or rack, is essential to the life
span of the equipment. Adequate provisions for cooling should be incorporated
during the installation.
2.2.3 Processor Installation

2.2.3.1 Cooling Considerations
The KMH 820/KTA 810 requires no external forced air cooling.

B KMH 880/KTA 870
2.2.3.2 Installation Considerations

Consideration should be given to the following items affected by the choice of
installation location within the aircraft:
A. Environmental Considerations
B. Ease of Interface to aircraft systems
C. GPS Antenna location and coaxial cable length
D. Ability to extract and insert new terrain/obstacle Data Bases supplied on a
CompactFlash Card.
If possible, install the KMH 820/KTA 810 in a dry, temperature-controlled area

such as within the passenger compartment of the aircraft. Standard avionics bays
are acceptable as well.
If possible, the KMH 820/ KTA 810 should NOT be located in close proximity to
equipment which produce considerable heat.
Locations, which require disassembly of the aircraft to gain access, are less desir-
able.
Any location that is exposed to moisture and/or temperature extremes should be

avoided.
Select a mounting location that allows sufficient clearance at the front of the unit
for connectors and cables.
The +28 VDC power wire(s) for the KMH 820/KTA 810 may be routed with the pri-
mary wiring harness for the system and with existing aircraft wiring bundles. There
are no requirements to separate the wire(s) from the bundles.
Do not bundle data lines or antenna cable with any aircraft high current power
cables.
No more than 8.0dB signal loss is allowed in the GPS antenna cable run, includ-
ing the antenna splitter, (if used). Refer to Note 5 on the Antenna Interface Draw-
ing and Table 1-13 in Section 1 for information on cable types and lengths.
Mount the unit to provide good electrical bonding to airframe ground. Lightning
strike protection and RF susceptibility and emission characteristics depend on
good electrical grounding of the unit and cable shield returns.
Refer to Figures 2-11 and 2-12 for TNC connector assembly guidelines.

B KMH 880/KTA 870
NOTE
The KMH 820/KTA 810 will need to interface to the aircraft audio sys-
tem, aircraft DC power, panel mounted warning lamps and switches, a
source of barometric altitude (usually an encoding altimeter or blind
encoder), a GPS antenna and a panel mounted display.
If possible, clearance to the top of the KMH 820 should be provided to facilitate
removal and installation of the terrain database CompactFlash card. The terrain
database card is removed and installed with power NOT applied to the system.
The KMH 820 may be removed from the aircraft to extract and install database
cards if the mounting location does not provide enough clearance.
Updating the Terrain DataBase is accomplished by:
Moving the aluminum cover over the CompactFlash card out of the way.
Pressing the flash card ejector button located within the unit.
Removing the old flash card.
Inserting the new flash card and replacing the cover.
If possible, mount the KMH 820 such that the above can be accomplished without
requiring disassembly of the aircraft or removal of the KMH 820.
The KMH 820 drives three lamps and accepts input from two switches. The lamps
should be identified as:
FUNCTION COLOR LEGEND
Not Available Amber Terrain N/A or Terr N/A

Caution Amber Terrain
Warning Red Terrain
The RED Warning lamp must be located in the pilot’s primary field of view.
The EGPWS provides a single 600 ohm audio output which should be connected
to a un-switched/un-muted auxiliary audio input on the aircraft’s audio control
panel. The audio output power level is set by programming the configuration mod-
ule.

B KMH 880/KTA 870
2.2.3.3 Installation Procedure

A. Slide the unit into the rack and secure it.
B. Attach the harness to the front mating connector of the unit.

2.2.4 Configuration Module Installation
System configuration is defined via a Configuration Module which contains the

aircraft interface and functionality definitions specific to the installed aircraft.
2.2.4.1 Cooling Considerations

A. Make sure that the unit is installed in a location where the ambient tem-
peratures are -67°F to +158°F (-55°C to +70°C).
2.2.4.2 Installation Considerations
A. The Configuration Module must be mounted to the airframe within maxi-
mum cable/harness length of 2 feet. Make sure to leave adequate space
to mount the Configuration Module when installing the Processor Unit.
A. Install the Configuration Module into the airframe. Refer to Figure 2- 2
and notes.

2.2.5 DIRECTIONAL ANTENNA INSTALLATION
2.2.5.1 KA 815 Antenna Installation Considerations

A. Antenna Location
NOTE
The following antenna location procedure is provided for guidance pur-

poses and to outline a method of achieving certifiable system perfor-
mance.
The KMH 880/KTA 870 System uses a top-mounted directional antenna

and either a bottom-mounted directional or an L-band omni-directional
antenna. Refer to directional antenna outline drawings in Figure 2-3 and
Figure 2-4. Mounting the directional antenna MUST include the appropriate
doubler plate.The installing agency is required to fabricate the doubler plate
for the antenna installations.
NOTE
The L-band omni-directional has not been tested for the direct effects of light-
ning and the installer (TC or STC applicant) must determine the suitability
of the antenna for the specific installation.
NOTE
KMH 880/KTA 870 Systems REQUIRE that the antenna installation

guidelines be followed. Adherence to these guidelines will assure that crit-
ical specifications are considered. Optimum bearing accuracy can be
achieved by following these directions.
Antenna locations should be chosen so that both antennas appear to be at

the same range and bearing from the intruder.
The centerline of the top and bottom-mounted TAS Antenna should be

located as close as possible to the aircraft centerline.
The top directional TAS Antenna should be the most forward antenna and
as far forward on the constant radius portion on the fuselage as possible.

B KMH 880/KTA 870
Obstructions and ground plane discontinuities, such as door hatches, cowl-

ings and unriveted airframe skin overlaps must be 18 inches from the near-
est edge of the TAS Antenna. Other antennas, particularly high profile and
L-band transponder antennas, cannot be located in front of or within 30
inches (edge to edge) of the top mounted TAS directional antenna. This will
ensure a minimum of 20 dB of isolation at 1090 MHz, while minimizing far-
field path distortion in the forward quadrants.
B. Mount the antenna on the aircraft skin which is horizontal during enroute
flight. Antenna baseplate must be level within + or - 5° in longitudinal and
lateral axes when the aircraft is in level flight. Refer to Figures 2-4 and 2-5
and notes.
C. The antenna must be mounted on a nearly flat surface such that the
antenna contacts the bare metal skin all around the perimeter without gaps
when normal mounting screw torque is applied.
NOTE
Aircraft with fixed landing gear must be equipped with a bottom mono-
pole antenna. Furthermore, the landing gear discrete must be strapped
to the retracted position. The bearing from a bottom directional is inval-
idated when landing gear is extended, so it would always be invalidated
on a fixed-gear aircraft. (Therefore, there would be no use for a directional
antenna.)

2.2.6 GPS ANTENNA INSTALLATION
2.2.6.1 KA 92 Antenna Installation Considerations (KMH 820 P/N 066-01175-

2101 only)
A. The KA 92 GPS Antenna should be mounted on top of the fuselage near

the cockpit and in the centerline of the aircraft. Avoid mounting the antenna
near any projections, and the tail of the aircraft, where shadows could
occur. It is recommended that there be a separation of at least 3 feet
between the GPS antenna and any VHF Comm, HF Comm, etc. on the air-
craft. A minimum of 3 feet from any satcomm antenna should also be
observed. Refer to Figure 2- 6 and notes.
B. Mount the GPS antenna on the aircraft skin which is horizontal during
enroute flight. Antenna baseplate must be level within + or - 5° in the longi-
tudinal and lateral axes when the aircraft is in level flight.

A. Make sure the antenna is well bonded to the aircraft skin.
B. Make sure the antenna is sealed to the aircraft to prevent corrosion from
forming between the skin of the aircraft and the antenna.
C. Install the optional GPS Antenna Splitter, if aircraft is already equipped with
a GPS antenna.
D. Make sure the antenna cable is connected to the antenna, splitter and unit
prior to system checkout.
E. Perform system checkout using instructions in Section 4.3.
Refer to figures 2-6 and 2-7 and notes.

2.2.7 TAS Coaxial Cable Fabrication
The TAS cables must have an attenuation of 2.0 ± 1.0 dB within the frequency
band of 1030-1090 MHZ. To ensure proper phase matching, each of the four
cables of a set must be of the same type. The lengths in each set of four must be
within 2.0” of each other. Color bands on the cable ends to match the antenna
color bands is suggested as an aid to hook up. Cables can be fabricated or pur-
chased from a cable vendor.
NOTE
The nominal length of each set of four cables should be recorded for the
particular installation in the event a cable should require replacement. If
rework is required, a cable may be cut a maximum of 6”.
The following defines the characteristics of the 50 ohm coaxial cable types that
can be used with the KA 815 Antenna. Connectors are also defined. All lengths
are defined as end to end. Any in-line or bulkhead penetrations must be evaluated
separately. It is the installing agency’s responsibility to show airworthiness of the
fabricated cable assemblies.
When determining cable type and length make the following assumptions.
A. Attenuation of each straight TNC male connector is 0.06 dB @ 1.03 GHz

(using a 030-00134-0000 RF Connector)
B. Attenuation of each right angle TNC male connector is 0.07 dB @ 1.03

GHz (using a 030-00134-0001 RF Connector)
C. Attenuation of each TNC female panel mount connector is 0.06 dB @

1.03 GHZ (using a 030-00101-0002 RF Connector)
D. Attenuation of M17/128-RG 400 Coaxial Cable is 0.153 dB/ft @ 1.03 GHz
Using the above information, a RG 400 cable with a right angle TNC (antenna
end) and a straight TNC (KMH/KTA end) must be no longer than 225 Iinches long
as measured from end to end. If longer length is required, then a lower loss cable
with appropriate connectors must be selected. Refer to figures 2-8 through 2-12
and related notes..

B KMH 880/KTA 870
2.2.8 GPS Coaxial Cable Fabrication
The GPS Antenna Splitter allows the existing KA 91 or KA 92 GPS antenna to be

interfaced to the KMH 820 EGPWS.
The following criteria must be observed when using the antenna splitter:
1. The length of an M17/128-RG400 coaxial cable cannot exceed 18 feet.

2. The maximum allowable signal loss between the KA 91/92 antenna
and the KLN series GPS receiver cannot exceed 8.0 dB. Refer to the
appropriate KLN series GPS receiver Installation Manual for determi-
nation of loss.
3. The maximum allowable signal loss between the KA 91/92 antenna
and the KMH 820 cannot exceed 8.0 dB. Refer to the following table to
determine the loss between the antenna and the KMH 820.

3.0 INTRODUCTION
You will find information relative to the KMH 880/KTA 870 system requirement options
available to the system planner and the electrical characteristics of the various interfaces
in Section III. You will also find pin function lists and interconnect diagrams in this section.
Refer to Figure 3-2 for the system pinout diagram.
Section III contains interconnect family diagrams for the KMH 880/KTA 870 system.
Refer to figure 3-3 for the KMH 880/KTA 870 system diagram. There are several intercon-
nect drawings for popular equipment that interface with the KMH 880/KTA 870. The
installing agency should contact Honeywell International Inc. Product Support at (800)
257-0726 for information regarding the compatibility of equipment not listed in this man-
ual. Normal business hours are 8:00 A.M. to 5:00 P.M. CST, Monday through Friday.
3.0.1 Applicable Part Numbers Subsection Description
Information given in this section pertains only to the KMH 880/KTA 870 System
using part numbers. Refer to Section 1.4.1 for complete part number descriptions.
3.0.2 Function Subsection Description
Detailed information concerning the purpose and operation of the interface are
described in this section.
3.0.3 Requirements and Limitations Subsection Description.
Any operational requirements or limitations relating to the interface are described

in this section. Widely followed regulatory requirements may also be described
here. Regionally enforced requirements vary greatly and adherence to them
remains the responsibility of the installing agency.
3.0.4 Electrical Characteristics Subsection Description.
The electrical characteristics and format of the interface signals are described in
this section. Any flavor-related differences in signal format are also described
here. Overlined pin names generally indicate active low signals, although the
absence of an overline does not necessarily indicate an active high signal.

B KMH 880/KTA 870
3.0.5 Interface Subsection Description
The harness techniques for shielding and shield termination described in this
manual are identical to those specified for the test harness used during HIRF and
Lightning testing. Adherence to the information in this manual is essential in
establishing an installation environment equivalent to the test environment used
during HIRF and Lightning testing.
Should grounding the shields, as shown in the interconnect diagrams, cause

unacceptable interference due to noise sources on the aircraft, double shielded
wire may be substituted for single shielded wire shown in this manual. The outer
shield must be grounded at both ends to comply with HIRF and Lightning require-
ments. The inner shield may then be grounded at a single end to protect against
the aircraft noise source. Normally the inner shield is grounded at the source end
of the signal carried by the wire. Planning to install double shielded wire for low
level signals known to have a history of interference may be easier than later add-
ing the double shielded wire into the aircraft harness.

3.1 GENERAL INTERCONNECT INFORMATION
3.1.1 Power Inputs
The Processor is powered with +28 VDC and is protected by a circuit breaker
(5 Ampere) in the Aircraft distribution center.
A. 28 Volts Direct Current

J10 - 59 & 82 → Nominal: + 28 Vdc A/C Power In.
Range: + 22 Vdc to + 30 Vdc.
1.3 ± 0.2 Amps @ 28 VDC typical current
1.65 ± 0.2 Amps @28 VDC Max operating
3.3 Amps @ 18 VDC maximum current
Power: 46 ± 2.3 Watts
B. DC Return
J10 - 127 & 128
These pins connect to airframe ground with 22 gauge wire minimum.
NOTE
The KMH 820/KTA 810 will shut down when the power line dips below +15
VDC. The KMH 820/KTA 810 will resume normal operation (i.e. surveilling
targets) on power restoration (when the power line meets +18 VDC mini-
mum).
3.1.2 On * Discrete
The On * discrete input can be used to turn the unit ON or OFF, if desired. If
not used, it must be grounded.

B KMH 880/KTA 870
3.1.3 Air/Ground Discrete Input
The Air/Ground Discrete, if used, is wired to a logic source in the aircraft that
presents a standard “open” circuit while the aircraft is airborne and a standard
“ground” when the aircraft is on the ground. The Air/Ground Discrete is filtered
to allow takeoff and landings. The discrete will remain in the same state for 10
seconds before changing states.
AIRBORNE = >100Kohms , or +18.5 to +36 VDC.

ON GROUND = < 10 ohms, or 0 to +3.5 VDC.
J10-4 Air_Gnd*
NOTE
The normal mechanical failure mode will be the “airborne” condition
3.1.4 Landing Gear Discrete Input
The Landing Gear Discrete, if used, will present a standard “open” circuit when
the gear is retracted and a standard ground when the gear is extended.
RETRACTED = > 100Kohms to airframe DC GND or +18.5 to +36 VDC.

EXTENDED = <10 ohms to airframe DC GND or 0 to +3.5 VDC
J10-3 Landing_gear*.
NOTE
Aircraft with fixed landing gear must be equipped with a bottom monopole
antenna. Furthermore, the landing gear discrete must be strapped to the
retracted position.
NOTE
The normal mechanical failure mode is the “retracted” condition.

B KMH 880/KTA 870
3.1.5 Above/Below/Normal Input
This input defines the Altitude Select for the display. Momentary (250 msec.
minimum) application of a “ground” at this input will cause a transistion
between the three states in a cyclical manner ; Normal- Below-Above. The
default mode is “Normal”.
J10-71 ABV_BEL_NORM*
3.1.6 Baro Altitude (ARINC 429) Input
Baro Altitude will be input to the TAS Processor via the Baro Altitude ARINC
429 low speed input bus. This bus may also be used as an ARINC 419 low
speed input bus. The ARINC 706 Air Data Computer will interface to the TAS
Processor using the ARINC 429 input ports and the ARINC 575 Air Data
Computer will interface to the TAS Processor using the ARINC 419 input
ports.
3.1.7 Advisory Inhibit Input
The Advisory Inhibit into the TAS Processor will cause annunciations to be
inhibited when higher priority events occur (i.e., wind-shear alerts, terrain alert
warnings.)
NOTE
The TAS Computer Unit will inhibit certain functions which would tend to
distract the pilot when faced with a potentially hazardous condition such as
windshear or terrain alerts. These conditions are presumed to have a more
immediate possibility and higher probability of harm than the threat of a col-
lision. Thus, TAS functions such as aural announcements and aural alerts
are to be inhibited by placing the TAS Computer Unit in a mode which
would preclude its issuing the unwanted information.
If the Advisory Inhibit has been activated, no new voice or annunciator out-
puts can be activated by the TAS computer unit during the deferment period. If
already activated, these outputs will be discontinued within 250 milliseconds.
If an advisory condition is present when the deferment is removed, it will be
annunciated.

3.1.12 GPS Input
GPS information is furnished in ARINC 429 and RS-232 (NEMA or RNAV) for-
mats. The following Information is required from the GPS:
1. Latitude/Longitude
2. Ground Speed
3. True Track Angle
4. GPS Altitude
5. Indication of the quality of the navigation solution. (VFOM and HFOM
prefered).
Optional information to be used, if available, are:
1. GPS Vertical Velocity

3.1.13 Factory Test Input
When active, the EGPWS will go into the Factory Test Mode. The TAS Pro-
cessor and the Automatic Test Equipment will interface via RS-232 and the
ATE Test Pins.
J10-113 GSE_PRES# (Factory Test) (Factory Only)
3.1.13.1 TAS ATE Enable Input
The ATE Enable is used to enable the ATE lines for the Anechoic Chamber
and the RGS stations. The TAS Automated Test Equipment will fully test the
TAS system closing the loop around the TAS antenna system by emulating the
functions of an intruder aircraft.
3.1.13.2 TAS Built In Test Equipment (BITE)
BITE enables the TAS Processor to provide internal system performance

monitoring under normal bench conditions, under environmental extremes
and during normal operation. All BITE functions are an integral part of the nor-
mal operational TAS system and do not interfere with normal TAS operations.
The TAS Processor BITE function is responsible for executing the test outlined
below (during cold start or functional test) to ensure that the TAS Processor
and inputs from interfacing components are functional.
1. Automatic System Performance Monitoring (SPM) and Functional Test

The TAS Processor SPM and functional test functions will test the TAS Pro-
cessor for correct operation (detection of internal faults) and test inputs pro-
vided by external system components for correct operation (detection of
external faults). The SPM function and functional test are capable of detecting
and initiating the appropriate response to all faults that would affect the ability
of the TAS Processor to meet TAS system safety and performance require-
ments.
System Performance Monitoring is performed on a continuous basis. The

tests outlined below are accomplished to ensure correct operation of the TAS
Processor and interfacing components during normal operation.
NOTE
The purpose of the TAS Processor automatic system performance

monitoring (SPM) and Self Test is to detect malfunctions that degrade
or preclude TAS protection.

B KMH 880/KTA 870
2. Failure Processing
After each functional test or monitoring cycle is complete, the failures
detected are prioritized and logged in fault memory if the severity of the fault
allows. The fault memory will keep the three highest priority faults per power
cycle.
When a fault is detected that would cause the TAS Processor to declare
TAS inoperative or failed , the following responses, regardless of failure cate-
gory, will be initiated:
A. Set the ‘TAS Valid Output’ discrete to invalid.

B. Inhibit ATCRBS interrogations from TAS.
C. De-activate the ‘normal’ TAS display functions.
D. Cancel any TA voice message.
If a fault is detected that would invoke one of the above responses, then
that response will be accomplished within one second of detecting the fault.
3. Failure Categories
A. Catastrophic
The severity of a catastrophic failure will preclude any software from exe-
cuting.
B. Fatal
The severity of a fatal failure will preclude any TAS surveillance software
from executing.
C. Critical
The severity of a critical failure will force the system to run in a failed
state.
D. System
This type of failure is used for inputs from system sources external to the
TAS Processor.

annunciated. It will stay true until the voice is completed. This output can be
used to inhibit other audio systems (e.g., TAS) during EGPWS audio or used
to drive the audio key line input provided on some aircraft audio systems. This
discrete is internally wired to the TAS advisory inhibit and is available on:
J10-22 ADV_INHIBIT*
3.1.18 EGPWS, Terrain Inop and Terrain not available Output
The EGPWS produces one monitor output. This discrete reflects the EGPWS

SECTION IV
4.0 INTRODUCTION
This Section describes the procedure for configuring and testing the KMH 880/KTA 870
System after it is installed in the aircraft.
4.1 POST CONFIGURATION TEST

This Post-Installation Test verifies the proper operation of the KMH 880/KTA 870 System.
These procedures are used after the units have been initially installed. Thereafter, these
procedures can be used as an operational check. These tests are performed on the
ground.
Many of the test can be performed indoors. The scenario tests should be done in an area
where the local traffic and signal multipath are not a factor. The bearing accuracy tests
should be conducted outside away from operating aircraft. 115 VAC, 60 Hz power may be
required for the test equipment.
CAUTION
ADVISE THE LOCAL AIR TRAFFIC CONTROL BEFORE TESTING THE

TRANSPONDERS OR THE KMH 880/KTA 870 SYSTEM WITH A SYNTHETIC
ALTITUDE TO ACKNOWLEDGE POSSIBLE INTERACTION WITH OTHER
TAS/TCAS-EQUIPPED AIRCRAFT.
4.2 CONFIGURATION PROCEDURE

This section describes the configuration options available to be programmed into the
Configuration Module of the KMH 880/KTA 870 System.
4.2.1 Power On
Turn the KMH 880/KTA 870 System on.
4.2.2 Aircraft Configuration

Aircraft Configuration strapping is stored in the configuration module via a
personal computer executing TASDIAG software across the RS-232 port. Follow
instructions for configuration programming in the TASDIAG Diagnostic, Appendix
D of this manual.

B KMH 880/KTA 870
NOTE
For new installations of Equipment or the Configuration Module, use the “Initial-
ize Config Mod” option (see Appendix D, Section 7.6).
4.2.3 EGPWS Configuration Instructions

These instructions will detail the configuration check list, initial configuration (new
configuration module) and volume output levels for the EGPWS.
It describes how the EGPWS interfaces to specific aircraft configurations. It con-

tains an overview of the selection categories for the different aircraft sensor inter-
faces. It defines how the category IDs are selected for the interface to aircraft
sensors and to select EGPWS performance options. It defines the specific aircraft
applications of the EGPWS.
4.2.3.1 Equipment Needed
A. EGPWS Installed and Operating

B. Interconnect Cable
C. IBM or Compatible PC
D. A Copy of Honeywell WINVIEWS
NOTE
WinViews is an Enhanced GPWS diagnostic communications program that runs

from Windows on a PC that is connected to the EGPWS. WinViews HELP, as
well as many other menu items are active even though the program is fully oper-
ational when communications are established with the EGPWS.
4.2.3.2 Configuration Module Programming
The Configuration Module Programming is completed via the RS-232 port.

The application code is capable of loading the Configuration Module with new
data.
This programming is achieved by using the WinsViews software. In WinViews,

the EGPWS will accept valid commands. To prevent inadvertent access to the
Configuration Module’s EEPROM, the keyboard monitor is set up with a tiered
menu. The keyboard monitor command “CFG” is used to gain access to the
Configuration monitor.
The command to program the memory with the Configuration String is
“CUW”.

B KMH 880/KTA 870
This command takes a pre-configured String (defined below) containing the

new memory contents and a CRC (written by the EGPWS) and writes them to
the Configuration Module’s EEPROM.
4.2.3.3 Configuration String Format
The EGPWS requires a string of configuration information to be written to the

configuration module memory when requested from the keyboard monitor.
Example String: = CUW 0/9 0 1 0 0 0 2 2 0/ (Space after cuw, category

and each number if there is no separator)
Where the first 0 reflects the string version, the next number is the number of
categories and the remaining numbers before the second separator reflect the
ID for each of the categories.
String breakdown Explanations:
CUW = The command to write

0 = String Version
/ = Separator
9 = the number of categories
0 = Category #1 ID = 0 (TSO-C151a Class B curve set)
1 = Category #2 ID = 1 (Altitude Encoder with 500 ohm
Temperature Probe)
0 = Category #3 ID = 0 (GPS, Internal GPS Express RS-232)
0 = Category #4 ID = 0 (Display select = ASPB)
0 = Category #5 ID = 0 (I/O Discrete Type Select = Basic, Lamp
format 2)
0 = Category #6 ID = 0 (Audio Menu Select = Basic)
2 = Category #7 ID = 2 (Audio Output Level = -12dB)
2 = Category #8 ID = 2 (Altitude Monitor Option Select = Disable)
0 = Category #9 ID = 0 (TA&D Alternate Pop Up = False)
/ = Separator
4.2.3.4 EGPWS RS-232 Maintenance Port (port: SMC1)
One port is provided which meets the characteristics specified in RS232C.

This bus can be used to access internal data from the EGPWS for aircraft test-
ing. In addition to the internal data, other items such as unit configuration and
flight history can also be accessed.

4.3.2 EGPWS Ground Test Procedures (066-01175-x101 only).
This Ground Test Procedure is designed to minimize potential equipment dam-

age and verify proper operation of the Honeywell EGPWS as installed in the air-
craft.

B KMH 880/KTA 870
A. Review your aircraft installation drawings against the manufacturer’s data

sheets and verify that all necessary connections are included on your
drawings and that the pin numbers are in agreement.
B. With all units disconnected and aircraft power off, do a point to point wiring
check using an ohm meter to verify proper wiring interconnect.
C. With all units disconnected, apply aircraft DC power and verify that power is
supplied to the power input pins.
D. Remove power from the aircraft and connect all units.
E. Connect a PC to the RS-232 communications port of the EGPWS unit.
F. Power up the PC, start “WinViews” and select connect.
G. Power up the avionics in the aircraft. You should note the “Not Available”
light ON and you should see INITIALIZATION messages coming from the
EGPWS on your PC. When the messages quit (could be as long as 3 min-
utes for the first application of power) press Control ‘Z’ on your keyboard.
The PC display should show a ‘>’.
H. Type ‘PS’ and the ‘return’ key on your PC. You should receive several lines
of status messages from the EGPWS. One of the messages should be
‘Configuration Module not initialized’. Instructions for programming the con-
figuration module are contained in section 4.2.3.2 of this document. Go to
section 4.2.3.2 at this time and after configuration has been completed,
return to item I. below.
I. With your PC communicating with the EGPWS, select ‘file’ at the top of the
WinViews screen. Select ‘Load Command File’ and then select the file
named Gagndtst.cmd. (This file can be created using WinsViews and
WinsViews Guide).
J. Now press function key F6 on your keyboard.
K. Set the aircraft’s altimeter to 29.92 IN Hg and note the altitude displayed on
the altimeter. Now look at the PC screen and locate the item named Gill-
ham Alt ft. and verify that the altitude shown agrees with the aircraft altime-
ter, ± 100 feet. If it does not, troubleshoot the encoding altimeter / wiring.
L. Provide a source of GPS signals to the GPS antenna. This can be accom-
plished by using a GPS repeater inside a hanger, or by taking the aircraft
outside where it has a clear view of the sky.

B KMH 880/KTA 870
M. Press function key F6 to return to the command mode of WinsViews. Type

in GPS followed by the ‘Return’ key to view the status of the GPS receiver.
Typing control ‘R’ on the keyboard will re-issue the last command sent and
allow you to continue to monitor GPS status. Once the GPS has acquired
satellites, the status message “Not Navigating” will change to “Navigation
with possible data collection”. The Not Available Lamp should turn off and if
a display is being used, a North UP terrain view should be shown on the
display.
N. Press the ‘Self Test’ switch and verify that the unit lights all lamps, produces
audio and the display, if installed, shows a test pattern. The EGPWS self
test function will identify any problems with the interfaces or with the
EGPWS computer. Troubleshoot any problem reported during the self test.
O. Connect a pitot-static test set to the aircraft static system. Operation of the
pitot-static test set should be performed only by persons trained in its use.
Additionally, if the aircraft static system was opened or modified to add an
encoder, the static system must be tested and approved by a licensed
mechanic or authorized repairman. Improper use of the pitot-static test set
can result in damage to altimeters, vertical speed indicators, etc.
P. Start with the pitot-static test set at current field elevation. Set the reference
altimeter in the test set for 29.92 IN. Hg.
Q. On the PC, select the Data display mode (F6). With the system receiving
GPS signals and no faults reported, you should now verify that the system
has correctly identified your closest airport. Look at the following items on
the PC display:
CrwyApt (the letter/number identifier of the closest airport Only

public airports with runways 2000 feet or longer)
CRwyDist nm The distance in nm to the reference point of the airport.
Verify that the displayed information agrees with your geographic location.
R. Set the pitot-stat test set to -1000 feet, exercise caution to avoid excessive
pressure changes to the static system of the aircraft. Verify that the PC dis-
play shows the item named Gillham Alt ft. at -1000 feet ± 100 feet.
S. Set up the pitot-static test set to allow an ascent to 30,000 feet, or to the
maximum altitude of the lowest rated device attached to the static system.
If, for example, the aircraft uses a blind encoder rated to 25,000 feet; the
altitude to climb to would be 25,000 feet.

B KMH 880/KTA 870
You must verify that all equipment connected to the static system can safely
be driven to your test altitude. If you go above 30,750 feet, the Gillham Alti-
tude displayed on your PC will start going backwards. This is normal
because the EGPWS does not use Gillham Code line D4. At altitudes
above 18,000 feet, the EGPWS uses GPS altitude for calculations.
T. Start an ascent at 3,000 feet per minute while monitoring the item named
Gillham Alt ft. At approximately a 2-second rate the displayed altitude
should increase by 100 feet.
Make absolutely certain that the altitude always increases; never goes
backwards and never skips a 100 foot increment. You can record this test
using the data collection feature of WinViews.
This will allow you to look through the data after the test using a text editor.
This test verifies that the barometric altitude source is working correctly
and that the wiring is correct. Troubleshoot anomalies discovered during
this test.
U. Return the static test set and aircraft static system to the local ambient
pressure.
V. If installed, press the Terrain Inhibit switch and verify that the item named
TerrDis switches between true and false on your PC’s display.
W. This completes the Ground Test of the EGPWS.
4.3.3 (TAS) Ground Test Procedure
Installation of the TAS System requires three stages of testing to ensure the
proper operation of the TAS System components. Initially, before installation of the
TAS processor and display units, a system interwiring check is performed. This
check verifies that the aircraft and all TAS System interconnections are correct,
before power is applied. After the units are installed, a visual inspection of the
equipment and connections is made. The Post-installation test is used to apply
power and functionally check out the system. Successful completion of the post-
installation test verifies the proper operation of the KMH/KTA Traffic Advisory Sys-
tem.
A. To check the aircraft system interconnections, perform the following:
Check that all cables and interwiring are installed according to the Interwir-
ing and Cable Fabrication instructions. (paragraph 2.2.7 and 2.2.8)

B KMH 880/KTA 870
Check that the following functions are properly strapped to reflect the air-
craft system configuration. (paragraph 4.2.3.6)
• Aircraft/Mode Type
• Air Data Type
• Position Type
• Terrain Display type
• I/O Discretes Type
• Audio Menu Type
• Audio Output Level Type
• Altitude Monitor Options Type
• Terrain Display Alternate Pop UP Option
Using the interconnect diagrams (Figures 3-1 through Figure 3-23), check
wiring for proper destinations, opens and shorts.
Check RF Cable for electrical length matching and insertion loss. (See
paragraph 2.2.7 and 2.2.8)
Check the transponder and DME interface.
NOTE
The only required interface between the KMH/KTA TAS and the transponder is
the suppression line. Some installations may use a common control for the tran-
sponder and the TAS. In these cases, the TAS control comes from the transpon-
der control unit.
B. In conjunction with the system installation, perform a visual inspection.
C. Perform the Pretest Setup to set the initial conditions to check the operation
and self-test features of the system. The following steps apply and check
the TAS System input power, configure the operational controls, and verify
that the system is ready for testing. It is assumed that the person perform-
ing these tests has a working knowledge of the KMH/KTA TAS System and
the Graphics Unit and is qualified to perform these tests on the aircraft.
Ensure that all aircraft systems are secure and safe. Confirm that 28Vdc
and 26Vac 400 Hz power sources are operational; i.e., check power bus
meter.
Check that the aircraft 5Vac or Vdc or 28 Vdc panel background lighting
power source and dimmer control is operational by adjusting the cockpit
dimmer switch for proper cockpit panel background illumination.

B KMH 880/KTA 870
Check that the Transponder, TAS, and Radar Systems are OFF. If applica-
ble, the selected encoding altitude source should be #1. If applicable, the
ADC (Air Data Computer) source should be set to normal.
Operate the appropriate aircraft circuit breakers to apply power to the TAS
Processor, Traffic Advisory displays and all other aircraft equipment con-
nected to the TAS Processor subsystem. Check that the circuit breakers
remain closed (pushed in).
Allow enough time for equipment warm-up. Equipment in the TAS system
require one minute for equipment warm-up. External sensors may require
more than one minute warm-up time.
On the TAS control panel, Place the SBY switch to SBY mode. Place the
ABOVE/NORM/BELOW switch so as to indicate “NORM”. Place the Range
so the 5 nautical mile (nmi) range has been selected. The following should

• No “TAS” flag annunciation.

• “TAS STBY”.
• If installed, the TA/VSI vertical speed needle should indicate 0 fpm.
Check that the brightness of the traffic display can be controlled by the
appropriate control. Brightness of the traffic display may be controlled by
the aircraft dimmer switch or by the BRT control on the display unit.
On the TAS Control Unit, select the ON position. The following conditions
should exist:
• The traffic display should indicate “TA” or “TA ONLY”.

• No faults or fail annunciations are present on the traffic display.
• Traffic may be displayed on the traffic display depending on the
TAS strapping configuration and whether traffic exists in the area.
• Non-threat Traffic, displayed as an open white diamond.
• Proximity Intruder Traffic, displayed as a filled white diamond.
• Traffic Advisory (TA) traffic, displayed as a yellow circle.
D. Perform the Self-test by initiating the TAS System Self-test on the TAS Con-
trol Panel. The following events should occur during the test period:
On the traffic display, a test pattern will be displayed that allows verification
of each type of intruder symbol that can be displayed. During the self-test,
the word “TEST” is displayed on the display. The following symbols are dis-
played:

B KMH 880/KTA 870
• Traffic Advisory (yellow circle) will appear at 9 o’clock, range of 2 miles,

200 feet below and climbing.
• Proximity traffic (solid white diamond) will appear at 1 o’clock, range 3.6
miles, 1000 feet below and descending.
• Non-threat traffic (open white diamond) will appear at 11 o’clock, range
of 3.6 miles, flying level 1000 feet above.
At the conclusion of a successful self-test, a synthesized voice announces,

“TAS System Test OK”. Should a failure be detected during self-test, the
audio message says, “TAS System Test Fail”.
E. Perform the Ground Test.
Ground tests are necessary to meet the requirements of DRAFT AC 20

ZZZ. While the tests are organized in a sequential fashion, they may be
completed in a random order to accommodate other conditions. The per-
son performing these tests should be familiar with the TAS equipment, the
aircraft installation and the supporting test equipment.

WARNING
PRECAUTIONS MUST BE TAKEN TO INSURE THAT THIS TEST DOES NOT

INTERFERE WITH OTHER TCAS/TAS EQUIPPED AIRCRAFT.
Apply a radio altitude signal to the aircraft using the radio altimeter test
set or equivalent. Increase the radio altitude to 2,000 feet or greater.
Disable the WOW logic and put the aircraft systems into the
“AIRBORNE” mode. For retractable gear aircraft, the landing gear logic
should remain in the “EXTENDED” or DOWN position.
Put the TAS and transponder control panels in the ON position. Select
#1 Transponder.
Using TASDIAG, enable the “Ramp Tester Mode” under the “File” drop
down menu. This will place the own aircraft at 50,000 ft. and place the
TAS into a test mode (as seen on the display).
NOTE
Once “Ramp Tester Mode” is entered, power must be cycled on the KMH/KTA
before any flight.
Using the IFR-201 Ramp Test Set.
Using the IFR-201 Ramp test set, create a scenario to simulate an

approaching Mode C transponder equipped aircraft beginning at 10
NM, at an altitude of 50,500 feet, at a closure rate of +450 KTS and an
altitude rate of 0 FPM. An alternate scenario may be required for some
test sets.
Initiate the intruder test on the TCAS Ramp Tester.

B KMH 880/KTA 870
Verify that the intruder symbol corresponds to the scenario in bearing,

distance and relative altitude. Confirm that the audio announcement
agrees with the scenario.
The intruder symbol will begin as an open white diamond with relative
altitude tag of + 05. The bearing should be from the direction of the test
antenna. The intruder will become proximity traffic at 5 NM; The white
diamond will be filled. Finally, the intruder becomes a TA (traffic
advisory) and the symbol will change to a yellow circle.
“TRAFFIC, TRAFFIC” voice announcement should occur around 3.75

NM.
Traffic Display ______, Traffic Announcement ______.
Using the BFG TT391 Flightline Tester
Turn on the TT391 Tester. Verify that two intruders appear on the traffic
display. One will be at approximately 0.25 nmi., co-altitude and will be
a TA (filled yellow circle). The other will be an open white diamond at
about 4.5 nmi. and co-altitude.
A “TRAFFIC, TRAFFIC” voice announcment should occur coincident

with the intruder at 0.25 nmi.
Verify that the intruder symbols correspond to the description above in

bearing, range and relative altitude. Confirm that the audio announc-
ment occurs at the appropriate time.
Traffic Display________, Taffic Announcment _________.

Pass/Fail ______.
Initiate the TAS self-test.
As soon as the “TAS SYSTEM TEST OK” message begins, press

the Wind Shear test switch or simulate a Wind Shear advisory. Verify
the TAS audio is interrupted.
Pass/Fail ______.
10. TAS Bearing Accuracy is required for STC Approval.
Evaluate the performance of the directional antenna for 360° coverage

at 30° intervals.
NOTE
Whenever checking the TAS bearing accuracy, the test antenna must be within
line-of-sight of the directional antenna under test. The accuracy to the top direc-
tional antenna should be checked while the test antenna is 50 to 75 feet distant,
and the landing gear logic is “DOWN”. When measuring the accuracy of the bot-
tom antenna, the test antenna should not be within line-of sight of the Top Direc-
tional Antenna. Either use the fuselage to block the Top Directional Antenna and
position the test antenna 8 to 12 feet (if possible) from the bottom antenna or
shield the top antenna with echosorb or equivalent.
Bearing accuracy checks on the Bottom Directional Antenna can only be per-
formed accurately in the air with a target aircraft. If you choose to perform bear-
ing accuracy checks or boresight on the Bottom Directional Antenna while on
the ground, the Ramp Test Antenna and the KA 815 Antenna must have unob-
struted line-of sight to each other
NOTE
The landing gear logic must simulate “RETRACTED” (UP) whenever checking
the bearing accuracy to the bottom antenna. TAs will appear as “No Bearing” tar-
gets when the gear position logic is “EXTENDED” (DOWN) because the bottom
antenna is in omni directional mode.
To insure proper antenna selection, the relative altitude difference between

the simulated intruder and own aircraft altitude should be + 6,000 feet, i.e.
intruder at 56,000 ft. when checking the top antenna. The test antenna
should be elevated slightly above the height of the Top Directional Antenna.

B KMH 880/KTA 870
When checking the bottom antenna bearing accuracy, the relative altitude
difference between the simulated intruder and own aircraft altitude should
be -6,000 feet, i.e. intruder at 44,000 ft.. The test antenna should be below
the mounting plane of the Bottom Directional Antenna.
NOTE
When using the TT391 for bearing checks, the antenna not being tested should
be shielded from the Flightline Tester. This is needed since the intruder altitude
cannot be programmed on the TT391.
Position the aircraft outside away from hangers and other aircraft.
Static pressure to the aircraft using the static tester is not required unless
local conditions make it necessary.
Apply a radio altitude signal to the aircraft using the Radio Altimeter Test
Set or equivalent. Increase the radio altimeter to 2,000 feet or greater.
Disable the WOW logic to put the aircraft systems in the “AIRBORNE”
mode
Set up the TCAS Ramp Tester on headings listed in the following figure.
On each heading in a CW direction initiate an intruder test scenario on the

TCAS Ramp Tester and measure the relative bearing to the intruder from
the traffic display.
Whenever testing the bottom directional antenna, set the landing gear logic
to “RETRACTED” (GEAR UP). Repeat the above steps for the bottom
antenna

B KMH 880/KTA 870
Figure 4-1 TAS Bearing Measurements
NOTE
Bearing Error equals the heading to TCAS Ramp Tester less the relative bearing
of intruder. Relative bearing to the intruder should be a positive number mea-
sured clockwise from north on the traffic display unit.
NOTE
The largest acceptable TAS bearing error is +/- 30° except between 135° and
225° (aft of the wings) where the error could be larger.

B KMH 880/KTA 870
NOTE
On some installations, it may be necessary to run the Bore Sight Calibration

Procedure of TASDIAG in order to achieve the desired bearing accuracy perfor-
mance. This procedure is described in paragraph 11 below. See Appendix D for
more information on using TASDIAG.
11. Perform Bore Sight Top/Bottom Antenna Procedure (Optional)
This optional procedure is used during installation of the TAS system

to automatically align the top and bottom TAS antennas to the aircraft.
To begin the Bore Sight procedure, start by setting up the ramp tester
as described in Section 4.3.3, paragraph E (8).
Using the IFR-201 Ramp Test Set, create a scenario to simulate a

Mode C transponder equipped aircraft at 2NM, at an altitude of 50,000
feet and an altitude rate of 0 FPM. Initiate this intruder scenario at the
0° heading.
Apply a radio altitude signal to the aircraft using the Radio Altimeter
Test Set or equivalent. Increase the radio altimeter to 2,000 feet or
greater. This will disable the WOW logic and put the aircraft systems in
the “AIRBORNE” mode.
NOTE
If you do not want to observe the Ramp Tester Target on the Traffic Display, the
Radar Altimeter does not have to be defeated to run this procedure.
Start the TASDIAG Program. (Refer to Appendix D for additional infor-

mation on the TASDIAG program).
NOTE
If the TAS unit is powered on but communications have not been established,
ensure that the computer’s COM port is connected to the TAS unit’s RS-232
diagnostics port. If the computer has more than one COM port, determine which
one is connected and check TASDiag COM port properties.
Select “Bore Sight Top Antenna” or “Bore Sight Bottom Antenna” from
the “Config Mod” menu.
Select the “Ramp Tester with Target altitude at 50,000” radio button
and click OK. The procedure will take a few seconds to complete

B KMH 880/KTA 870
The procedure is successful if “Antenna Calculations Complete” is dis-

played in the pop-up message box.
Click OK to close the message box.
If the procedure is unsuccessful, one of the following errors will be

reported:
A. “Bore Sight Failed. Cable calibration failed”
Cable calibration occurs automatically during normal operation. If

the unit is unable to complete the cable calibration, then a bore sight
calibration will not be performed. Check cable connections from TAS
to the antenna. Check TAS fault LED to verify that there are no fatal
failures and retry the procedure.
B. “Bore Sight Failed. The bearing of the reply is outside of the Bore
Sight Window.
If too many target bearing readings are outside the ± 45° window,
then the bore sight will fail. Check antenna orientation. Check Ramp
Tester placement and retry the procedure.
C. “Bore Sight Failed. The power of the received reply is below the
Bore Sight power minimum.”
This error is reported when the power level of the Ramp Tester
replies is too low to accurately determine the bearing. Check the
Ramp Tester set up and retry the procedure.
D. “Bore Sight Failed. Not enough replies are being received.”
This error will be reported when at least 30 Delta 1 and 2/swap A

and B replies are not received. Check Ramp Tester operation and
placement and retry the procedure.
E. “Bore Sight Failed. The Antenna calculations could not be written

to the configuration module.”
This error will be reported if the bore sight procedure completes, but
the antenna Delta offsets cannot be saved to the configuration mod-
ule. Check the wiring and the connection to the configuration module
and retry the procedure. or try re-initializing the configuration mod-
ule and retry the procedure.

B KMH 880/KTA 870
When the Bore Sight procedure is successfully completed, the Delta 1 and
Delta 2 offsets for the selected antenna will be stored in the configuration
module.
TAS will automatically shut down and restart after the procedure has been
completed to begin using the new antenna offsets.
After the Bore Sight Procedure has successfully completed, The Bearing
Accuracy Test (E 10) should be re-run at + 30° , 0° and -30° to confirm
that the bore sight procedure has improved bearing accuracy.
12. Perform the Power and Frequency tests shown in the TCAS-201 Oper-
ator’s Guide (pp 27- 29). These tests are optional.
13. Perform Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) / Radio Frequency

Interference (RFI) required for STC. Determine if there is any mutual
interference with any other aircraft system.
Pass/Fail ______.
14. Determine that the system suppression is active.
15. Conduct a flight test of TAS (Required for STC) according to the
requirements of FAA Advisory Circular AC 20-ZZZ, titled “Airworthi-
ness Approval and Operational Use of Active Traffic Advisory System
(TAS)”.

1. Introduction
The TAS Processor Field Diagnostics Program (TAS Diag) provides an interface to
the KMH 820/KTA 810 (TAS Processor Unit). The following information may be
retrieved from the TAS Unit via TAS Diag:
- I/O data (straps, attitude, altitude, etc.),
- TAS’s Internal Diagnostic and Log File,
- Configuration module straps,
- Currently tracked intruder data (range, altitude, bearing, etc.),
- Cable calibration data,
- Current system status (fault LED reading and description).
TAS Diag for Windows has four different diagnostic windows:
• Main Diagnostic Window

• IO Continuous Window
• Intruder Data Window
• System Status Window
All data may be written to a user-specified file by clicking Save from the File menu.
The active (selected) window will be saved.
A TAS Diag demonstration mode, in which no RS-232 communications are present,

is available for familiarizing the user with the program. Select Demo Mode from the
File menu.
This document is an operations manual for TAS Diag, providing tips and techniques
enabling TAS Diag to be a useful tool in installation and/or troubleshooting KMH
820/KTA 810 TAS Processors.
The following Part Numbers identify the TAS Diag program and documentation:
700-01055-0000 User Manual (this documentation)

731-30007-0000 CD-ROM containing TAS Diag for Windows and User Manual
2. Computer Requirements
The TAS Diag program requires a personal computer with a CD_ROM running
Microsoft Windows 95, Windows 98, or Windows NT 4.0 . The user should be famil-
iar with running Windows programs.

3. Installing the TAS Diag Program
1. Insert the TAS Diag CD into your CD-ROM drive.

2. Select the “Start” button then “Run”.
3. In the Command Line Box, type the letter of the drive that contains the TAS
Diag CD, a colon, a backslash, and the word setup. For example, Type:
d:\setup
4. Click the OK button.
5. Follow the instructions that appear on the screen.
If Setup prompts you to replace some of the system files with newer ver-
sions:
• Select OK, then Yes when prompted to restart Windows.

• After Windows restarts, repeat steps 1 through 5.
A Program Group called “TAS Diag” should have been created.
4. Starting TAS Diag
The TAS Diag program may be started at any time. If the TAS unit is currently pow-
ered on, TAS Diag will automatically establish communications. If the TAS unit is not
currently powered on, TAS Diag will continuously attempt to establish communica-
tions until communication is established or the Cancel button is pressed. Once com-
munications are established and the TAS unit has completed initialization, TAS Diag
will accept user input.
NOTE
If the TAS unit is powered on but communications are not being established, ensure
that the computer’s COM port is connected to the TAS unit’s RS-232 diagnostics
port. If the computer has more than one COM port, determine which one is con-
nected and check TAS Diag COM port properties
The TAS Diag program is started by selecting the “TAS Diag for Windows” icon in
the “Start-Programs-TAS Diag’ group.
Once communications are established and the TAS unit has completed initialization,
theTAS Diag main screen appears (see Figure 1). The main window consists of a
menu bar and button bar at the top and TAS Processor specific information at the
bottom of the window. The processor specific information consists of the TAS Pro-
cessor serial number, software version, hardware version (if available), and the
Engineering software version.

B KMH 880/KTA 870
Figure 1 Main Window
The menu and button bars contain the available options for the TAS Diag program.
WARNING
TAS DIAG IS NOT INTENDED FOR USE DURING FLIGHT. TAS

DIAG IS AN INVASIVE PROGRAM AND MAY INTERFERE WITH
TIMING INTERVALS OF THE TAS PROCESSOR. THIS MAY
CAUSE INTERMITTENT TAS FAILURES. POWER MUST BE
CYCLED ON THE TAS PROCESSOR AFTER TAS DIAG HAS
BEEN CONNECTED AND BEFORE ANY FLIGHTS OCCUR.

B KMH 880/KTA 870
4.1 TAS Diag Demonstration Mode
The TAS Diag program contains a demonstration mode (in the file menu) which is
useful for familiarizing the user with available options. The demonstration mode
does not require an RS-232 connection to a TAS unit. Any option may be selected,
and a simulation TAS unit response will occur.
5. Inspecting Current Processor I/O Data
There are two options for inspecting the TAS unit’s I/O data: single snapshot or con-
tinuous ( see Figure 2).
Figure 2 I/O Data View Continuous Window

B KMH 880/KTA 870
5.1 Snapshot View
On the I/O Data menu, click Snapshot View to request a snapshot (one time) of the
I/O Data. The TAS unit sends the data to the “Main Diagnotic Window”.
5.2 Continuous View
On the I/O Data Menu, click Continuous View to request continuous updates of
the I/O data. Continuous mode is the single snapshot repeated every one to two
seconds. The TAS unit sends the data to the “I/O Continuous Window”. A slight
screen flicker will be noticeable as each new screen of data is written.
The red Stop button on the button bar will be enabled as long as communications
are on going and the window is being updated. To stop the update, click the Stop
button.
6. Inspecting TAS Unit’s Internal Diagnostic and Log Data
On the Diag Log Menu, click View Log to request the TAS unit’s Internal Diagnotic
and Log Data. The TAS unit sends the data to the “Main Diagnostic Window” ( see
Figure 3.)

B KMH 880/KTA 870
Figure 3 Diagnostic and Log Data Window
NOTE
Failures for the current power cycle are not in the Diagnostic and Log Data, since
the Log is written at the end of each power cycle.
7. Configuration Module Options
The user will be offered options to view the strap data, modify the strap data, save to
a text file, save to a binary file, copy from a binary file, and initialize the configuration
module.

B KMH 880/KTA 870
7.1 View Strap Data
This option allows the user to view the current strap settings in an easy to read lay-
out. The TAS unit sends the data to the “Main Diagnostic Window” ( see Figure 4).
Figure 4 View Strap Data Window
NOTE
For new installations of Equipment or the Configuration Module,
use the “Initialize Config Mod” option (see Appendix D, Section
7.6).
7.2 Modify Strap Data
The strap data is read from the TAS unit and displayed in a dialog box ( see Figure
5). The dialog box has two pages, Strap Page 1 and Strap Page 2. Click on the top
of each page to view/modify the different straps. The user may modify any of the
straps by selecting the desired configuration.

B KMH 880/KTA 870
The selections are made using list boxes and radio buttons. Click the down arrow on
the list boxes and click the desired configuration. For radio buttons, click the desired
configuration button.
Once the user is satisfied with the strapping, click the OK button and the user will be
prompted as to whether or not to write the data to the configuration module. Click
the cancel button to exit without saving changes.
If the user opts to write the data to the configuration module, a message window will
appear informing the user that the data is being written, the TAS unit is resetting,
and the user should wait until the initialization is complete. When the TAS unit is ini-
tialized, a message will be displayed in the window. At this point the user may click
the OK button to continue.
Figure 5 Modify Straps Window

B KMH 880/KTA 870
7.3 Save to Text File
This option creates a specific file containing the configuation module’s strap and
bearing correction data. The file will have a header containing the TAS unit’s serial
number, the software version, the current PC date, and the current PC time. The file
will be an ASCII text file.
7.4 Save to Binary File
This option allows the user to save configuration module set-ups and recall them at
a later time, if needed. The user will be prompted for a brief description to be
attached to the binary file. File names of the format:
TASCFG.xxx,
where xxx is from 000 to 999 are created in the current PC directory.
7.5 Copy from Binary File
This option allows the user to program the configuration module with data previously
stored in a binary file . When this option is selected, a window allowing access to all
binary file names in the current PC directory is displayed ( see Figure 6 ). When a
file is clicked, the description entered when it was saved is displayed in the File
Description Field. When a file is selected ( by clicking the open button ), the user is
prompted for the data to be written to the configuration module.
If the user opts to write the data to the configuration module, a message window will
appear informing the user that the data is being written, the TAS unit is resetting,
and the user should wait until the initialization is complete. When the TAS unit is ini-
tialized, a message will be displayed in the window for the user. At this point the
user may click the OK button to continue.

B KMH 880/KTA 870
Figure 6 Copy Binary File Window
7.6 Initialize Config Module
This option sets the configuration module’s strap data to default values. The user
must view both Strap Pages ( see Modify Strap Data ) to verify/modify the configura-
tion. The user may click the Cancel button at any time to end the initialization pro-
cess without actually writing to the configuration module.
When the Strap configuration is complete, click the OK button to save it to the con-
figuration module.
7.7 Bore Sight Top/Bottom Antenna
This option is used during initial installation of the TAS system to auto matically align
the top and bottom TAS antennas to the aircraft.

B KMH 880/KTA 870
To begin the Bore Sight procedure, set up the ramp tester as described in Section
4.3.3, Paragraph E (8), of this manual and select “Bore Sight Top Antenna” or “Bore
Sight Bottom Antenna” from the “Config Mod” menu. Select the “Ramp Tester with a
target altitude at 50,000” radio button and click OK. The test will take a few seconds
to complete. The test is successful if “Antenna Calculations Complete” is displayed
in the pop-up message box. Click OK to close the message box. If an error is
reported, refer to Section 4 of this manual for troubleshooting techniques. When the
Bore Sight procedure is successfully completed, the Delta 1 and Delta 2 offsets for
the selected antenna will be stored in the configuration module. TAS will automati-
cally shut down and restart after the test has been completed to begin using the
new antenna offsets.
8. Intruder Data
There are two options for viewing tracked intruder data ( currently under TAS sur-
veillance ). Overwrite View and Capture View ( see Figure 7).
Figure 7 Intruder Data Window

B KMH 880/KTA 870
The following information is presented to the user:
TISI-- This is the number of interrogation update periods the TAS unit has
been through since power up.
survno-- This is the unique internal surveillance number assigned to an

intruder. This number remains assigned to an intruder the entire
time that it is under surveillance.
bear-- The bearing ( in degrees ) of the intruder relative to own aircraft.

0 degrees is at the 12 o’clock position, 90 degrees is at the 3 o’clock
position, 180 ( or - 180 ) degrees is at the 6 o’clock position, and - 90
is at the 9 o’clock position. A series of -----’s indicates that a bearing
could not be determined for the intruder.
range-- The slant range from own aircraft to the intruder in nautical miles.
alt-- The intruder’s altitude in feet (MSL). A series of -----’s indicates that
the intruder is non-altitude reporting (NAR).
Ant-- This is an indication of the antenna on which the intruder is being

surveilled. A ‘T’ indicates the top antenna, while a ‘B’ indicates the
bottom antenna.
power-- The measure power of the last received from the intruder. A power
of 255 indicates no reply was received from the intruder. A power of
zero indicates that a power and/or bearing could not be computed
for the intruder during the current TISI.
NOTE
Not all intruders displayed in this window will be sent to the traffic dis-
play. Any intruders determined to be on the ground will not be displayed.
8.1 Overwrite View
On the Intruder Data Menu, click Overwrite View. The user is prompted for the
maximum range in nautical miles-- this allows the user to limit the range at which
intruders are displayed.
When this option is selected, the intruder information is erased before each update
is sent to the screen. It is updated at approximately one TISI per second. To stop
the update, click the Stop button on the button bar.

B KMH 880/KTA 870
8.2 Capture View
On the Intruder Data Menu, click Capture View. This option allows the user to cap-
ture specified number of TISI’s of data. The number of TISIs to be captured is
entered, then the maximum range is requested (see Overwrite). When the number
of TISIs have been captured, the updates are stopped. If the stop button on the but-
ton bar is clicked, the updates will also stop before completion of the specified num-
ber of TISIs.
9. Viewing Cable Calibration Data
Cable calibrations are performed periodically by the TAS unit so that bearings may
be computed as accurately as possible. This option allows the user to view the
results of the most recent cable calibration and causes the cable calibrations to be
performed at an accelerated rate. Cable calibrations are normally spaced at 3
minute intervals, but this option causes the spacing between the end of one cable
calibration and the start of the next to be 10 seconds. An internal TAS unit variable
that displays messages on retries and/or errors is enabled.
A cable calibration sequence for a dual directional system requires about 8 seconds
to complete, so a new cable calibration summary will be displayed every 18 sec-
onds. To view the cable calibration data, View Data on the Cable Cal Menu (see
Figure 8).

B KMH 880/KTA 870
Figure 8 Cable Calibration Data Window
NOTE
The second cable calibration summary could take as long as 3 minutes and 8
seconds before being displayed, due to the nature of the multi-tasking environment
of the TAS unit and the method by which tasks are delayed.
10. Viewing Current System Status
This option allows the user to view the current TAS unit system status without hav-
ing to try to read the LEDs located on the side or front of the TAS unit (see Figure
9). This data may be viewed two different ways; Overwrite or Continuously.
The status is updated every second or two. The system’s status is indicated along
with the state of the LED indicator. When a fault occurs, a brief description is added
to the LED fault information. To stop the update, click the Stop button on the button
bar.

B KMH 880/KTA 870
In the Overwrite mode, the data is erased before each update. For the overwrite
mode, click Overwrite View on the Sys Status Menu. For continuously, click Con-
tinuous View on the Sys Status Menu.
Figure 9 System Status Window
11. TAS S/W Info
This option allows the user to retrieve TAS unit specific software (see Figure 10).

B KMH 880/KTA 870
Figure 10 TAS S/W Window

12. Ramp Tester Mode
This option turns on the P4 pulse of TAS ATCRBS interrogations so a IFR 201B
ramp tester can be used to reply to the TAS unit. To turn this option on or off, click
Ramp Tester Mode on the File Menu. When the option is on, a check mark
appears to the left of Ramp Tester Mode on the File Menu. Selecting this mode will
set own aircraft altitude to 50,000 feet. The traffic display will display “TEST” rather
than “TA Only” when in this mode.

B KMH 880/KTA 870
WARNING
POWER TO THE TAS UNIT MUST BE CYCLED UPON COMPLETION

OF RAMP TESTING AND BEFORE ANY FLIGHT TESTS. OTHERWISE
“TEST” WILL REMAIN ON THE TRAFFIC DISPLAY. TAS WILL STAY AT
50,000 FEET AND THE P4 PULSE WILL CONTINUE TO BE TRANSMIT-
TED (PREVENTING MODE-S TRANSPONDER EQUIPPED AIRCRAFT
FROM BEING TRACKED).
13. Suggestions and Hints
Below is a list of some of the problems that have been encountered to date along
with possible solutions and/or work-arounds.
13.1 TAS Diag doesn’t Communicate with the TAS unit.
If TAS Diag can not establish communications with the TAS unit, the first thing to
check is the Comm port to which the RS-232 is connected. The RS-232 setting on
the File-Properties dialog box should not be changed. However, the Comm (serial)
port needs to be selected for the port connected to the TAS unit. Usually ‘Comm 1’
is the correct port. If you have several ports you may have to experiment by chang-
ing the Comm Port setting.
Some Laptops use Comm 1 for Modems and Infrared Sensors. If this is the case
and you have only one serial port, you will need to disable the device using the
Comm Port and enable it for external communications. This is usually done in the
“My Computer” properties or in the BIOS setting. You should call your computer
manufacturer if you can not free up the port.
