Description
TCAS Processor (cont)
TPA-100A (cont)
940-0300-001
940-0400-001
The TCAS processor monitors the failure status
input from external equipment and continuously
does built-in-test diagnostics. When functional
test is started from the Mode S
transponder/TCAS control unit, the TCAS
processor does extensive system functional test
diagnostics.
The front panel liquid crystal display (LCD) has
two controls to give the maintenance personnel
the ability to check the equipment.
The processor contains a front panel Personal
Computer (PC) card slot where internal signal
data can be recorded on a PC card or data from
the PC card can be loaded into the processor.
The TCAS processor receives 115 V, 360 to 800
Hz or 28 V dc primary power and 26 V ac
synchro reference power from the aircraft power
sources.
