Abridged Description
The
transponder ATC
2000
is
a single block
unit
provided
for
installation
in the
instrument
panel
or
control
panel
of
an
aircraft, its dimensions being
in
keeping
with
ARINC
standard
for
control
units,
and secured
by
rnecms
of
four
DZUS
fd~Lt::ller5.
Ali
controls
are
located on the
front
panel, the rear panel
of
the
transponder mounts the connectors
for
connecting the aircraft
wiring
and
an
encoding altimeter
as
weil
as
the
antenna socket_
The
electronics
of
the
unit
are made
up
of
the
encoder/power
supply
module,
the
receiver/decoder module
and the transmitting tube. The receiver/decoder module
can
be
folded
out
to
facilitate servicing, thus
permitting
easy
access
to
ali transponder cornponents. The
transmitting
tube
is
screwed on one side
to
the
chassis frame.
The
transponder
is
ready
for
operation roughly
60s
after switching
on,
