2. Aircraft installation
2.1. General
Installation of the TRX-2000 in an aircraft needs to be performed in accordance with the applicable
engineering standards by qualified personnel only.
If the required skills and tools are not available, please contact your avionic shop or maintenance
organsiation.
The Installation of the TRX-2000 may not influence other aircraft equipment.
The TRX-2000 has been developed for integration with the FLARM(R) system. An installed and
operating original FLARM(R) or licenced 3
rd
party device (i.e. LX Red Box) or an TRX-2000 integral
FLARM(R) module is mandatory for operation.
Visualization of received data and audible warnings are provided by the system human machine
interface, or a connected 3
rd
party device (Butterfly, FlyMapL, V2/V3 or any Flarm(R) compatible display
as well as any device with GARMIN(R) TIS compatible interface.
According to EASA decision 2006/13/R and 2006/14/R, the TRX-2000 may be considered as
standard part, which can be installed in CS-22 aircraft (gliders and powered gliders).
•
For operating a TRX-2000, no transponder needs to be
installed in the aircraft.
•
Connecting a TRX-2000 and a transponder to a
common antenna (transponder antenna) is not
possible.
The TRX-2000 provides all data interfaces via four RJ-45 connectors on the backside of the device. To
prevent noise in the radio, the use of shielded lines is strongly recommended.
2.2. Panel installation
The unit has been designed for panel mount installation (58mm panel cut out). It has to be fixed using 4
screws (M3x8mm).
For proper operation and readability choose an appropriate position in the panel of your aircraft. To
avoid reduced airspace observation when using the system , do not fit the device in the lower area of
your panel.
The system housing is not waterproof. Take this fact into consideration when choosing a place for
installation.
A system exposed to water or severe humidity must not be supplied with external power or switched on.
Consult your local avionics shop or maintenance organisation for further steps.
