7.1.3 Installation
Before operation, the system must complete as follows:
− Transmitter cabinet, installed,
− Power supply, installed,
− Batteries, installed,
− Antenna system and
− Nearfield monitor dipole* (option), installed and cabling complete.
(* The exact location and the foundation are usually defined after flight check)
− Mains voltage must be in accordance with assigned input voltage range of BCPS
(nominal 115 to 230 VAC).
− Cabinet has to be fully equipped with all plug−in units.
− Jumpers and DIP−FIX switches of the pertinent printed circuit boards (refer also to 6.6.5) have to
be in accordance with the system version. To enable battery backup on specific printed circuit
boards and for initial settings on site refer to 7.2.1.1.
− The MCS resp. ADRACS software has been loaded to PC (refer to 7.1.1).
CAUTION
All CSB and SBO RF−outputs must either be terminated with a dummy load or connected
to antenna. Otherwise the transmitter may be damaged when switching on the equip-
ment.
Individual jumpers have to be set before the first switching on. The location of jumpers is shown in
section 6.6.5. Perform the following settings:
− LCP: Set jumper X36 (enabling backup battery for RTC).
− SYN: Set jumpers J1 to J4 according to the selected operating frequency:
J1: 300 or 100 and tenth J2: units
J3: one tenth J4: one hundreds and thousandths
Example: The GP frequency is selected to 333.50 MHz. Perform following settings:
330 = 300+20+10 3 = 2+1 .5 = .4+ .1 .00 = 333.50
− ECU: Set switch SW1 according to selected station configuration and jumpers J6, J7, if specific
DME operation is required (LLZ only). This setting must correspond to software configuration data.
Standard setting of SW1 is:
Standard setting: 1 closed Transmitter 1 is main

Alignment Procedure GP−2F standard Operation and Maintenance
are described in detail in the ANNEX ’PC User Program−specific Procedures’ of this manual (see
Register 8).
NOTE: It is assumed, that the transmitter cabinet has been factory aligned and tested. Therefore
the site−specific configuration files are already stored in the equipment. The following
procedure is only necessary, if the configuration has to be modified.
NOTE: For users of the MCS user program currently the ’MCS File Transfer’ tool is used.
a) Switch on the PC and run the Linux OS.
b) Start the file transfer tool: click on desktop start button, select ’System Tools’, select ’MCS File
Transfer (ILS, VOR, FFM, Marker)’. The dialog window ’ADR_MAIN−DOS in a BOX’ appears.
c) Select function ’LOGIN’ of the MASTER MENU. Enter REU as ’UserName’ and confirm blank char-
acters in ’Password’.
d) Select ’FILE TRANSFER’ of the MASTER MENU, select function ’COPY PC FILE TO SITE’.
e) Select configuration files (*.sit, *.lke, *.ptt, *.oio) and enter.
f) Select function ’RESET SITE’ of the MASTER MENU to activate entered files and data.
NOTE: The File Transfer tool is closed due to the reset. It has to be restarted manually.
g) Run ’MCS File Transfer’ tool again. Perform Login.
h) Select ’DATE & TIME’ in the MASTER MENU. Select function ’SET SITE DATE & TIME’. Enter date
and time.
i) Select function ’EXIT’ in the MASTER MENU to close the File Transfer tool.
a) Start user program, perform login and select station. The detailed view on the GP station appears.
b) Switch both TX on and Set all monitor bypass on.
c) Open the Station Configuration dialog.
d) Enter all required parameters in the dialog window. Verify that the parameter ’Standby configura-
tion’ is set to ’Hot’.
NOTE: Settings in d) must correspond to the settings of the DIP−FIX switch SW1 on ECU board !
e) Switch both TX off.
NOTE: It is recommended for the first setup procedure to note down all settings and values which
have been performed in the individual steps of alignment. This is useful because the val-
ues should be remembered in the setup sequence of the procedure.
REMARK: Phase shifters Z1 and Z3 (Fig. 7−1) are set to 0° as default setting. A change of this setting
may be performed during flight check measurements.
a) Measurement procedure:
This check entails supplying the CRS CSB signal to the 3 inputs COURSE CSB, COURSE SBO
and CLEARANCE, one after the other (see Sections 7.3.1b) to 7.3.1d)). The inputs must be termi-
nated each with a 50 ohm resistor when not in use. The CRS SBO and clearance power remain
set to 0.
The power at the outputs to the antennas is measured by the wattmeter, where
A1= lower antenna (L), A2= middle antenna (M) and A3= upper antenna (U).
Connect all RF cables as normal again after the measurements.
b) CSB supplied to input J1 COURSE CSB. Check power ratio: A1 : A2 =+6 dB (±0.3 dB)
NOTE: Corresponds to power ratio 3.6...4.4, note value ....................dB
CAUTION
Set CSB to 1 W before supplying to input CR−SBO. Remove external attenuator if used!
REMARK: Install 6 to 10 dB attenuator at PIN diode transfer switch again if previously removed !

NOTE:
delayed trigger point For more clear representation the use of an analog oscilloscope is recommended. For the phase alignment
(use maximum of SBO) procedure, the delayed trigger segment of 50 us has to be in a range of the signals where the amplitudes rise
in the same direction to get correct phasing. Check the trigger position of the signal if the result seems to be
in the opposite phase range (e.g. 180° rotated); read also monitor result in the PC User Program (ADRACS
CSB
or MCS) for correct sign. If the phase cannot be adjusted insert phase adapters or phasing cables to achieve
a sufficient setting range of the potentiometers.
SBO
Recommended measurement procedure:
Adjust the scope so that both signals are equal in amplitude. Turn on the ADD and INVERT functions. Make
the signal now created on the scope as flat as possible. This will ensure the signals are within a couple of de-
grees. It is very important that these two signals are in phase.

NOTE: The procedure enables to calibrate to 17.5 % within a range of about 17 % to 18 %. This
is normally achieved by an accurate adjustment of the ratios of the inputs of A1, A2, A3
as performed in 7.6.1.2. If the value is out of range it may be necessary to adjust to a read-
ing of 17.5 % with R383 (this is the A2 path). Check Exec. Course Width RF Level of A2
again and adjust if necessary. Repeat steps c) to e). Proceed with f).
If emergency batteries are available, the battery voltage can be monitored to avoid over discharge
of batteries. For this purpose a warning level can be set and a low level limit can be set.
NOTE: A battery switch off to avoid deep discharge is executed via the separate LVS−circuit and
the relays located on the BP−PS subrack.
a) Open dialog ’LRCI − Environmental Setup’.
b) Enable ’Battery Low Monitoring’ by selecting ’Alarm Maint. Alert’ or ’Alarm Degradation’.
NOTE: ’Alarm Maint. Alert’ means indication only, ’Alarm Degradation’ means action.
c) Set ’Battery Warning Level’ to e.g. 46.0 V.
NOTE: Setting range: 40 to 50 V.
d) Set ’TX off if battery lower than’ to e.g. 44.0 V.
NOTE: Setting range: 40 to 50 V.
7.9.3 Phasing A1 − A3
REMARK: This check is only necessary for first flight check and if required main flight check.
a) Switch TX1 off. Perform the same setup as described in section 7.5.4 a) to d).
b) Approach at 3° elevation (nominal glide angle).
7.9.9 Miscellaneous
Some other parameters must also be checked, e.g. the range. No further settings must be made with
the transmitter or monitor however.
Finally, the system has to be set to normal operation, i.e. monitor bypass is removed, TX1 is aerial
and the key−lock switch at the LCP is set to "Remote".
c) To optimize the calculated distance with the aid of measuring technique, A1 should radiate CSB
only and A3 should radiate SBO only.
d) Switch TX1 off.
e) Remove supply cable for A2 on top of transmitter cabinet. Terminate output of cabinet for A2 with
50 ohm/10 W.
Disconnect cable W17 to input J1 COURSE CSB and cable W21 to output J5 from PAD−S. Termi-
nate input J1 COURSE CSB and connector J5 of PAD−S with 50 ohm load. Insert "Test Cable"
between removed cable W17 to J1 COURSE CSB and cable W21 to J5.
NOTE: The electrical length (435°) of the test cable represents to the phase response of PAD−S inter-
nal path J1 to J5. A1 radiates CSB, A3 radiates SBO.
f) Switch TX1 on.
g) Setting of transmitter:
− Set CRS CSB DDM to 0 %
− Add +90° to CRS SBO Phase (quadrature)
− Set CLR RF−Level to 0 W
h) Using the portable DDM instrument and an auxiliary mast measure DDM at the calculated monitor
point (DMon , HMon ). If the measured DDM deviates from 0 %, alter the distance until a DDM=0 %
is achieved.
i) Switch TX1 off.
j) Interconnect equipment as normal, connect cable of A2 and cable W17 respectively W21 again.
k) Switch TX1 on.
l) Setting of transmitter:
− Set CRS CSB DDM and CRS SBO Phase back to original values.
− Set CLR RF−Level to 0 W.
m)Alter the height of the receiving antenna at the determined optimal distance point until DDM = 0%
is achieved.
NOTE: When altering the monitor antenna height two nulls may occur. The monitor is to adjust in a way
that the DDM is reversed in comparison to the farfield with altering the height: height lower,
90 Hz > 150 Hz at the nearfield monitor.
n) Set CLR RF−Level back to original value. This must not lead to any change in the course position
(<±0.1 %).

NOTE: DDM adjustment values of antennas A1 and A2 of the Glide Path in dependence upon the Forward Slope. In normal case
the GP width is determined by the antenna height and the default DDM values. With rising or falling terrain a smaller or greater
glide angle as e.g. 3° has to be realized, whereby the width must not be altered for the nominal angle (3°).

In the standard application the local PC/Laptop is used as MCWP, i.e. the MCS application GUI, the
SNMP Proxy agents and the Direct Connect option are installed to the PC/Laptop. The Laptop is con-
nected to the connector Local PC (serial interface) on top of the cabinet.
In an optional application (currently only avialable for DVOR/CVOR systems) the local PC/Laptop is
used as CWP, i.e. the MCS application GUI is installed to the PC/Laptop and the SNMP Proxy agents
are installed to a built−in intelligent board, the optional ETX−CPU board. The Laptop is connected
to the connector ETHERNET on top of the cabinet which is fed to the ETX−CPU board.
Only an MCWP (with SNMP proxy agents installed) running under a Linux operating system can be
directly connected via a serial cable (RS232) to a Navaids cabinet (see Fig. A−5).
The tool ’MCS direct connect’ has to be is used for the standard application. For details see Technical
Manual MCS, section 1.8.1. To start the MCS Direct Connect application on the connected PC/Laptop
perform the steps:
− Click start button of Linux desktop (’red hat’), select ’System Tools’, select ’More System Tools’,
select ’MCS direct connect’ (see Fig. A−6).

A CWP (running under Linux or MS Windows OS) with an MCS GUI can be connected via an Ethernet
interface (TCP/IP) only to a Navaids equipment equipped with the ETX−CPU board (see Fig. A−9).
The SNMP proxy agent of the Navaids equipment is installed on the ETX−CPU board. For details see
Technical Manual MCS, Part 1, section ’Ethernet (TCP/IP) Connection’.
The common MCS application has to be used for the optional application.
The network interface of the CWP laptop has to be configured as ’DHCP Client’, i.e. the laptop gets
its LAN interface configuration (IP address, ...) from the ETX−CPU board.

For a number of parameter lists some ’sub−sets’ exist, which are accessible via file tabs in the upper
line of the 2nd Equipment window (see Fig. A−42).
Within the alignment of Navaids equipment, the procedure to open the dialog of such a parameter
sub−set is given as
"Open dialog ’<subsystem>−<data set>: <sub−set>’ for parameter setting".
In the example of Fig. A−42 the used procedure would be
"Open dialog ’Monitor1−Measurements/Limits: Current Executive Data’ for parameter setting".

If the same data sets of both monitors or both transmitters are required for parameter setting (e.g.
’Measurements/Limits’ of Monitor 1 and Monitor 2), the functions of the pull−down menu ’Compare’
in the MCS 1st Equipment Level window can be used (for details see Technical Manual MCS).
A window appears after selecting the corresponding function (’Compare Monitors’ resp. ’Compare
Transmitters’), see example in Fig. A−44, providing the parameters of both subsystems in parallel
columns. Select the required parameter (set) via left mouse click in the left column, click again and-
hold the left mouse button, then draw the cursor into the left blank area. The parameter list appears
there.
