TQ Aviation KTX2-F.0100 EASA.AP445 3.4.5.1 Altitude Offset Calibration MAN The Altitude Offset Calibration allows you to adjust the built-in altitude encoder to ensure that the flight level transmitted by the transponder complies with all relevant standards. This process is normally carried out every 24 months, as part of the altimeter checks on the aircraft. The maximum allowed difference between the primary altimeter and the altitude encoder is 125 feet according to ETSO C88a. The altitude encoder in the transponder is extremely accurate, has an excellent long-term stability and is accurately calibrated during manufacture. But it is possible that a combination of allowed accuracy deviations in the altitude encoder and the primary altimeter may show an altitude difference exceeding 125 feet. In that case it is recommend to perform an altitude offset calibration. 3.4.5.1.1 Calibration Equipment To perform the altitude offset calibration the transponder needs to be powered up. Additionally a pitot static test set is needed together with the appropriate adapters to connect to the static port on the aircraft. The pitot static test set should be able to drive the altitude from sea level to above the service ceiling of the aircraft. Note:
For the calibration procedure no transponder test set is required. During the calibration procedure all necessary information is displayed. Nevertheless a transponder test set can be used to verify the transmissions of the transponder. 3.4.5.1.2 Calibration Procedure Figure 39: Altitude Offset Calibration Menu To perform the altitude offset calibration perform the following procedure:

In a rare case the offset value determined by the calibration procedure is beyond the limits. Possible reasons can be:
Altitude set point values of transponder and static test set do not match.
=> Check the settings. Failure in the static port connection from the static test set to the transponder.
=> Check the installation. Failure of the altitude encoder.
=> Send the unit for servicing. To verify the altitude measurement the following procedure must be performed:
1. Switch off the transponder. 2. Switch on the transponder in Setup Mode and enter the Test Mode (see 3.4.5.2). 3. On the pitot static test set drive the altitude to -1000 feet. 4. Verify that the altitude displayed on the transponder correspond within the 125 foot tolerance. Additionally verify the altitude value transmitter by the transponder. 5. Repeat this procedure for all altitudes to the service ceiling of the aircraft in steps of 1000 feet. 3.4.5.2 Test Mode The submenu Test Mode displays the following internal measurements:

Installation 5.1 Equipment Connections 5.1.1 Electrical Connections The 15pin D-SUB connector at the rear side of the unit includes all electrical connections, except for the antenna, see chapter 5.2.2 for details. The positive supply line needs to be protected by a 3A slow blow fuse!
The transponder should be connected to an uninterruptible power supply as short power interrupts may cause the transponder to restart in STBY Mode or in Multiple Flight ID selection. 5.1.2 Mutual Suppression Other equipment on board (e.g. DME) may transmit in the same frequency band as the transponder. If such a device is installed a single wire bus (Suppression = active at +12V) must be installed in order to protect the receiving parts of the different devices from in-band transmissions. Mutual suppression is a pulse that is sent to the other equipment to suppress transmission of a competing transmitter for the duration of the pulse train transmission. The transponder transmission may be suppressed by an external source and vice versa. To activate mutual suppression the SUPP_I/O requires a +12V source from the other equipment, see chapter 5.2.2. All equipment connected to the suppression line must be re-inspected and reapproved from a qualified avionic technician before operation. Use only shielded lines. 5.1.3 Ground Switch If a Ground Switch is connected (and activated in the Setup), the transponder is enabled to distinguish between weight-on-wheel (On the Ground) and no-weight-on-wheel (In-Flight) conditions. In the weight-
on-wheel condition the transponder automatically enters the Standby mode. In order to complete this installation the input FLY-GND must be connected to a switch, which connects the input with GND in case there is weight on wheels, or remains open during flight, see chapter 5.2.2. KTX2-F.A-MAN.0001.docx Page 59 of 74 TQ-Systems GmbH. All information contained in this documents have to be treated strictly confidential. The transfer of presentations and know-how to third parties requires the prior written consent of TQ-Systems GmbH. TQ Aviation KTX2-F.0100 MAN EASA.AP445 This option must additionally be activated in the Setup. For details on configuration please refer to chapter 3.4.2.1.3.2. 5.1.4 Static Air Port The transponder has a built-in altitude encoder which must be connected to the same source of static pressure as the primary altimeter on the aircraft. For this purpose the transponder has a hose connection at its rear side for nominal 5mm or 3/16 inch tubing (inside diameter). Connect the static air connection to the static pressure port and ensure a tight connection with a suitable hose clamp. 5.1.5 GNSS Interface A GNSS source can be connected to the serial interface (RS232) providing GNSS position data for use of ADS-B out. Requirements:
Required GNSS hardware:
o NexNav Mini (Part-No. 21.000) which turns the transponder into a 14 CFR 91.227 compliant device as required for TCd aircraft (FAA 2020 mandate). or o Standard NMEA0183 RMC data stream including the RMC-sub-format
(4800/9600/19200/38400 Baud) for aircrafts which do not require the ADS-B requirements defined in 14 CFR 91.227. GNSS hardware needs to be connected to pin 13 (RX-RS232) and optionally pin 2 (TX-RS232) of the D-SUB connector (see chapter 5.2.2). Power supply needs to be provided separately considering the required operating voltage for the GNSS hardware. The WAAS GNSS device needs to be selected in the setup menu (see chapter 3.1.4.4). Note:
For connection to the NexNav Mini device, a proprietary cable is available from TQ. Please contact you dealer for more information. If a standard NMEA0183 WAAS GNSS source is sufficient for your aircraft (LSA, Experimental, Ultralight etc.) you should consider brands recommended by TQ to avoid incompatibilities or malfunctions. Note:
For correct function of the movement detection an update rate of 5 Hz is recommended for NMEA devices. 5.1.6 Antenna Connector The antenna is connected to a single coaxial connector (SMA) at the rear side of the transponder. 5.1.6.1 L-Band ADS-B Antennas The L-Band antenna used with the KTX2 must fulfil to the following specifications:
KTX2-F.A-MAN.0001.docx Page 60 of 74 TQ-Systems GmbH. All information contained in this documents have to be treated strictly confidential. The transfer of presentations and know-how to third parties requires the prior written consent of TQ-Systems GmbH. TQ Aviation EASA.AP445 KTX2-F.0100 MAN Standard 50 , vertically polarized antenna with a VSWR < 1.7:1 at 1090 MHz. TSO-C66( ), TSO-C74( ), TSO-C112( ) , or TSO-154c antennas that also meet the VSWR specification. Only the L-Band antennas listed in the table below have been tested for compatibility with transponder installations. Manufacturer Part Number Connector Type Remarks RAMI Comant AV-74 CI-105 Comant CI-105-11 Table 8: L-Band Antennas 5.1.6.2 Antenna Installation BNC BNC TNC The antenna should be installed according to the manufacturers instructions. The following considerations should be taken into account for the antenna installation:
The antenna should be placed not directly near any projections, the engine(s) and propeller(s). It should also be placed not directly near landing gear doors, access doors or others openings which will break the ground plane for the antenna. The antenna should be mounted on the bottom surface of the aircraft and in a vertical position when the aircraft is in level flight. The antenna should not be mounted within 3 feet of the ADF sense antenna or any COMM antenna and 6 feet from the transponder to the DME antenna. Where practical, the antenna location should be chosen to keep the cable lengths as short as possible and to avoid sharp bends in the cable to minimize the VSWR. To prevent RF interference, the antenna must be physically mounted at a minimum distance of 3 feet from the transponder. Electrical connection to the antenna should be dust and water proof to avoid loss of efficiency as a result of the presence of liquids or moisture. All antenna feeders must be installed in such a way that a minimum of RF energy is radiated inside the aircraft. 5.1.6.3 Antenna Cable The transponder is designed to fulfil the ADS-B Class 1 requirements allowing a maximum loss of 2 dB in the connectors and cable used to connect it to the antenna. Exceeding this loss will degrade the transmitter output power and receiver sensitivity. A typical installation needs two (2) connectors at each end of the antenna cable. Calculating a loss of 0.25dB for each connector allows a loss of 1.5dB for the cable itself. An acceptable cable must have the following characteristics:
Less than 1.5dB loss for the cable length needed. Characteristic impedance of 50 Ohms. KTX2-F.A-MAN.0001.docx Page 61 of 74 TQ-Systems GmbH.

TQ Aviation EASA.AP445 KTX2-F.0100 MAN Double braid screens or a foil and braid screen. Once the cable length from the transponder to the antenna is known, a cable type can be chosen which has a loss per meter low enough to meet the above requirements (see table below). Note:
Low loss cable typically uses foamed or cellular dielectrics and foil screens. These make such cables especially prone to damage from too-tight bends or from momentary kinking during installation. Once kinked, these cables do not return to full performance when straightened. The following table is shows a list of some common cable types and the maximum usable lengths.

Keep the cable length as short as possible. Avoid routing the cable round tight bends. Avoid kinking the cable, even temporarily during installation. Secure the cable so that it cannot interfere with other systems. Route the cable away from any heat sources. 1 RG type coaxial cable insertion loss can vary significantly between manufacturers. The insertion loss for RG type cables shown in this column is considered 'worst case'. Refer to the cable manufacturer's specification sheet for actual attenuation (insertion loss) for the cable being used. KTX2-F.A-MAN.0001.docx Page 62 of 74 TQ-Systems GmbH.

TQ Aviation EASA.AP445 KTX2-F.0100 MAN Route the cable away from potential interference sources such as ignition wiring, 400Hz generators, fluorescent lighting and electric motors. Allow a minimum separation of 300mm (12 inches) from an ADF antenna cable. Note:
In case an already installed antenna can be further used (old transponder is replaced) and the existing connector does not fit, it is recommended to replace the connector. Alternatively, an adapter from the existing connector to a SMA male type connector can be used. But this will add an additional loss of typical 0.1 0.2 dB to the installation which must be considered. If the total loss of 2 dB is exceeded the cable must be replaced. Note:
