IFR Aeroflex TCAS-201 TCAS Ramp Test Set Part Number: TCAS201
The Aeroflex / IFR TCAS-201 simulates the airborne environment necessary for verification/certification of TCAS installations performing many of the required tests for Supplemental Type Certification (STC) during initial installation and subsequent routine maintenance.
The TCAS-201 includes the capability to monitor TCAS interrogations (displaying decoded information/communication data) and generating ATCRBS or Mode S replies that simulate threat aircraft for bearing accuracy checks.
Programming flexibility of the TCAS-201 allows the operator to exercise and generate Traffic Advisory (TA) and Resolution Advisory (RA) alerts.
Ruggedized construction designed for the conditions encountered in the ramp environment.
Non-volatile memory for storing up to ten user-programmed scenarios.
Squitter generation with selectable squitter address.
Automatic power shutdown after approximately 15 minutes of non-use when ac power is not connected.
LCD Display with automatic light sensing illumination control.
Switchable TCAS I (no P4 width detection) or TCAS II (normal P4 width detection) operation.
Soft-press key controls for easy operation.
Built-In-Test (BIT) for confidence testing and fault isolation.
Selectable altitude levels to test inhibit climb RAs and low altitude operation.
Broadcast Interrogation Monitor with display of Interrogating Aircraft Address.
Selectable percent reply (ATCRBS) in 10% steps.
RF, Monitor, Interrogation Video and Sync Pulse outputs for use in bench testing.
Internal Battery allowing up to 1.5 hours of operation before recharge.
Size and usability to allow one person operation on the ramp.
