Section 3.0 Installation and Calibration  

 

3.1 Mechanical Installation 

The SSD120-(XX)M series altitude encoder/digitizer may be mounted in 
any attitude within the body of the altimeter, but should be mounted to 
insure no interference with the altimeter mechanism, and no obstruction of 
the SSD120-(XX)M static pressure inlet. The mounting position should 
insure that the 26 pin mating connector does not interfere with the 
altimeter static port connection or other electrical or mechanical 
connections required for the altimeter’s operation. 
 
Manufacture an opening in the altimeter case per the outline drawing for 
the 

Connector Panel Cutout 881667

. Be sure to provide a flat surface to 

which the connector O-Ring can seal. Secure the encoder/digitizer to the 
altimeter case using the 1

c

-18 nut provided. Refer to the outline drawing 

for mechanical dimensions and the sample installation diagram. 

 

3.2 Electrical Installation 

The encoder/digitizer is designed to operate with a +9 to +28VDC power 
source. This voltage can be A+ switched power provided by the 
transponder or can be provided by the avionics buss, protected with the 
appropriate fuse or circuit breaker. 

 

3.2.1 Parallel Altitude Data Connection 

The outline drawing provides electrical connector pin/function 
data. Use this information when connecting the encoder/digitizer to 
the transponder. In some installations where older transponders are 
in use, the transponder may not provide an “altitude disable” 
function. In this case a panel mounted switch may be required. 

 

3.2.2 Serial Altitude Data Connection 

Connect the TxD (transmit data) pin X (TxD1) or pin U (TxD2) 
from the connector to the receive data RxD port on the GPS or 
other navigation device. See connection 

Table V 

as well as the

 

GPS Connection Data.

 Be sure to connect a ground from the 

encoder/digitizer to the receiving GPS unit to ensure good data 
transmission. Shielded cable is recommended for both serial and 
parallel data wiring assemblies.
