SECTION 3 – INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
3.1 GENERAL
This section contains information and instructions for the correct installation of the TFM-
550, VHF/FM Transceiver.
Make certain that the correct frequencies are pre-programmed in accordance with the
equipment user's valid FCC operator's license, prior to installation.
3.2 EQUIPMENT PACKING LOG
Unpack the equipment and check for any damage that may have occurred during transit.
Save the original shipping container for returns due to damage or warranty claims. Check
that each item on the packing slip has been shipped in the container. Verify that the
equipment display and backlighting configuration are the same as those ordered.
3.3 TRANSCEIVER INSTALLATION
The TFM-550 Transceiver is designed to be Dzus mounted and should be installed in
conjunction with an IN-550 installation kit. See Figure 3.1a for an outline drawing of the
unit with dimensions to facilitate the installation.
3.4 INSTALLATION KIT - CONTENTS
The IN-550 installation kit consists of:
1.
One 15 pin Cannon D mating connector (female) complete with crimp pins and hood.
2.
One 9 pin Cannon D mating connector (male) complete with crimp pins and hood.
3.
Three BNC antenna mating RF connectors (male).
3.5 ANTENNA INSTALLATION
Antenna, Comant P/N CI-292-3 or suitable equivalent, may be utilized for VHF. Antenna,
Comant P/N CI-275 or suitable equivalent, may be utilized for UHF and the Foxtronics model
FLX-3050B antenna/tuning system or Sensor Systems P/N S65-8282-34 may be utilized for
the VLO band. A suitable whip antenna cut for a specific VLO frequency may also be used.
The antenna should be mounted on the bottom of the aircraft whenever possible and must
be located at least 20 cm (8 inches) from any occupant in the airframe. Consult with
instructions provided with the antennas. Connect RF cables from antennas to the back of
the TFM-550 unit by utilizing the BNC mating connector provided in the installation kit. The
VHF Low band (top) and UHF (middle) BNC connectors are located on the rear, above the
15 pin D connector and the VHF high band BNC connector is below the 9 pin D. If an
external antenna tuner (ATU) is to be used, the ATC-550 (P/N 991102-1) will have to be
utilized to control it. The ATC-550 is an external box to the TFM-550. See Figure 3.1b.
