4.4 Required Items

Additional items you will require, but which are not in the TT31 package, include:

•

Antenna and fixing hardware. The TT31 is compatible with any transponder antenna
approved to (E)TSO C74 or C112.

•

Altitude encoder. You require an encoding altimeter or a blind encoder with either parallel
Gray code or RS232 serial output. For best results, and simpler installation, an encoder with a
serial output is recommended.

•

Cables. You need to supply and fabricate all required cables. Guidance on cable types is
given in section 5 below.

•

Fixings. To secure the transponder tray to the airframe you will need at least 6 flat head
screws and six self-locking nuts. If the aircraft does not have existing mounting provisions
