GMT/FSK Output Signals
In addition to the voice channel inputs, in the 2100
−
1010
−
( ) and 2100
−
1X2X
−
( )
configurations, GMT is applied as low speed (12.5 kbps) ARINC-429 to pins 25 and
26; with the exception of 2100
−
1X20
−
02 configurations (FSK option). In the
2100
−
1X20
−
02 version, GMT may either be applied as low speed ARINC 429, or al-
ternatively as an FSK signal combined with the audio input on either Channel 1 or
Channel 3.
(3)
Rotor Speed Signals
Rotor Speed Encoded (RSE) input signals are applied to the rear connector pins 48
and 49 as an analog frequency varying between 7
−
6000 Hz. The input impedance
of the RSE signal is 100 Kohms. The GMT/RSE input signals are then digitally con-
verted and compressed in the Acquisition Processor PWA. This data is then stored
in a memory partition separate from the Audio data. In the case of the 30-minute
Model FA2100 CVR, p/n: 2100–1010–( ), 30 minutes of GMT/RSE data is stored. In
the case of the 120-minute Model FA2100 CVR, p/n: 2100–1X2X–( ), a full 120 min-
utes of GMT/RSE data is stored.
