    ATCRBS TRANSPONDER KT 76C SECTION II INSTALLATION GENERAL INFORMATION This section contains suggestions and factors to consider before installing the KT 76C ATCRBS Transponder. Close adherence to these suggestions will assure a more satisfactory performance from the equipment. The conditions and tests required for TSO approval of this article are minimum performance stan- dards.
  • Page 18: Kt 76C Interconnect Wiring And Cable Harness Fabrication

    Recommendations on stack cooling are contained in Honeywell Installation Bulletin #55. Failure to provide stack cooling will certainly lead to increased avionics maintenance costs and may void the warranty.
  • Page 19: Equipment Location

    ATCRBS TRANSPONDER KT 76C Primary Power and Circuit Breaker Requirements and Wiring The KT 76C transponder receives primary power from an aircraft by aircraft power circuit breakers. The KT 76C is designed to operate from 11-33 V dc. Power connections, wire sizes, and circuit breaker requirements are shown on the interconnection diagram Figure 2-2.

    ATCRBS TRANSPONDER KT 76C To prevent rf interference, the antenna must be physically mounted a mini- mum distance of three feet from the KT 76C and the wiring harness. The transponder antenna should be mounted a minimum of six feet away from the DME antenna, four feet from the ADF sense antenna, and three feet from TCAS antennas.

    ATCRBS TRANSPONDER KT 76C Antenna General For L-band blade antenna outline drawing, installation procedures, and mounting dimensions, refer to the manufacture’s instructions. KA 60 Peel backing off the antenna template and apply the template to the aircraft at the desired mounting location. Drill or cut the proper size holes for mounting the antenna, then re- move the template.

    ATCRBS TRANSPONDER KT 76C POST INSTALLATION TEST PROCEDURE 2.4.1 TRANSPONDER SYSTEM CHECKOUT The post-installation test is used to apply power and functionally checkout the system. Successful completion of the post-installation test verifies the proper operation of the KT 76C ATC Transpon- der System.
  • Page 31 ATCRBS TRANSPONDER KT 76C System Interconnect Check To check the aircraft and transponder system interconnections proceed as follows: Check that all cables and interwiring are installed in accordance with the Interwiring and Cable Harness Fabrication instructions (paragraph 2.3.3). Using the interconnect diagram (see Figure 2-2), check wiring for proper destination, opens, and shorts.

  • Page 46: Standby

    ATCRBS TRANSPONDER KT 76C Standby - The unit is energized, but is inhibited from replying to any interrogation. “SBY” is annun- ciated on the display in this mode. The altitude display is blank (see Figure 3-2). FIGURE 3-2 Standby TST - The unit will illuminate all segments. The unit will remain in TST mode until the mode se- lection is changed (see Figure 3-3).
