(c) On the TEMPERATURE Page, select “NO” for SENSOR INSTALLED.
(d) MODE S Address (ICAO Aircraft Address Code) and FLIGHT ID Entry Page
When the unit is turned on for the first time, or an invalid address is recognized, the unit
will prompt the user to enter a valid aircraft address.
NOTE: U.S. registered aircraft ICAO Aircraft Address Code (ADDRESS HEX) is the
“N number” and is displayed as such on the ATC-601. On Non-U.S. registered
aircraft, verify only that the hexadecimal code displayed on ATC-601 matches the
“ADDRESS HEX” code programmed on the GTX-330.
1 U.S. Registered Aircraft
a To highlight the “U.S. Tail #” address field, press the CRSR key one time.
b Enter the registration number using the number keys. Press a key repeatedly to
scroll through the digit/alpha characters for that entry field.
c Press the CRSR key to select the numeric entry field. Enter the next character
as stated in step b , then move onto the next one, repeating the process until
the complete number is entered.
d When finished, press the CRSR key to accept the number entry.
e For entering the Flight ID number, press the CRSR key one time.
f Repeat steps b and c.
g When finished, press the CRSR key to accept the number entry.
2 Non-US Registered Aircraft
a For entering Non-U.S. Aircraft Registration, press the CRSR key one time, then
8 or 9 to select ADDRESS HEX.
b Non-U.S. Aircraft Registry normally supplies a 24 bit binary code, known as the
ICAO Aircraft Code for the Mode S address in lieu of directly entering the N# for
U.S. registered aircraft.
c The GTX 330 only accepts a hexadecimal format for the Non-U.S. Registered
Aircraft, so the 24 bit binary code must be converted to a hexadecimal format.
d Convert the 24 bit binary code to hexadecimal as follows:
1) 24 bit binary code: 11100100011111101101101
2) Separate for hex conversion: 1110 / 0100 / 0111 / 1110 / 1110 / 1101
3) Apply the hexadecimal values found in Chart 16.
