General Description 1
1.1 Introduction
This manual is intended to provide mechanical and electrical information for use in the
planning and design of an installation of the Air Trac Displays (ATD-11, ATD-57, and
ATD-80) into an aircraft. This manual is not a substitute for an approved airframe-specic
maintenance manual, installation design drawing, or complete installation data package.
Attempting to install equipment by reference to this manual alone and without rst
planning or designing an installation specic to your aircraft may compromise your safety
and is not recommended. The content of this manual assumes use by competent and
qualied avionics engineering personnel and/or avionics installation specialists using
standard aviation maintenance practices in accordance with relevant accepted practices.
This manual is not intended for use by individuals who do not possess the competencies
and abilities set forth above. Refer to section ‘‘Limitations’’, for additional information and
other considerations.

ATD are cockpit displays. Multiple ATD can be used in a single aircraft. The small outline
and multifunctional software of the devices allow for better system integration in space
constrained environments. The pilot-centered user interface aims at reducing crew
workload, increasing crew eciency and improving ight safety.

1.3 System Capabilities
AIR Trac Display (ATD-11, ATD-57, or ATD-80) is a small and aordable Cockpit Display
of Trac Information (CDTI) that is displaying trac and warning messages generated by
connected trac systems or trac receivers.
Comprehensive position and danger-level information on dangerous trac are given.
Additionally, detailed target data is optionally displayed. ATD features a sunlight readable
TFT display with a 2 inch (ATD-57) or 2.7 inch (ATD-11, ATD-80) screen diameter. It features
eld updateable software and is capable of using trac databases (e.g. FLARMNet) from
a mass storage device (microSD card). ATD emits aural alerts through an integrated alert
sounder.
1.4 Trac System Compatibility
ATD is compatible to many trac systems. The following list shows trac systems ATD has
been tested with. Many other trac systems may be compatible as well. ATD is certied as
‘‘FLARM compatible’’ in the category ‘‘Standalone Display’’.
Not all trac systems provide for the same functionality. ATD is only capable of
displaying data it receives from connected trac systems.

While many factors have to be carefully taken into account, it is recommended to
always use an RS-232 data rate of at least 38,400Bd for interfacing ATD-57 to a trac
system. Higher data rates come with the benet of higher bandwidth and therefore
the capability to transfer more information per time.

2.2 Data Interfaces
2.2.1 Serial Data Interface
ATD is capable of interfacing with other aviation instruments by sending and/or receiving
serial data on its serial ports.

The serial outputs conform to RS-232C (EIA Standard) with a positive and negative output
voltage of at least 5V when driving a standard RS-232 load.
The serial data interface (RS-232) consists of one or two data transfer wires and a ground
connection. As shown in the example below, there shall always be a direct ground
connection between all RS-232 clients.
It is not sucient that power supply ground in both devices is connected to aircraft
ground, an additional direct ground connection is mandatory.
The use of a twisted pair shielded cable, for example MIL-C-27500-22TG 2T14
1
, is highly
recommended. With this cable both data wires and the GND reference can be connected
using a single cable.

Serial Input Protocol
ATD accepts ‘‘extended NMEA’’ GPS and trac data as well as GARMIN TIS trac data. For a
detailed description of supported datasets, please contact AIR Avionics customer support.
ATD accepts dierent data rates. ATD-57 automatically adjusts to the current data rate
present on its serial inputs, if one of the following:
•4800 baud
•9600 baud
•19,200 baud
•28,800 baud
•38,400 baud
•57,600 baud
2.3 Power and Lighting Functions
This section covers the power input requirements and lighting bus input.
2.3.1 Power Supply
Power inputs on connector 1 and connector 2 provide power. All pins of one connector
should be connected. If required, pins on both connectors may be connected.
Connector 1 and connector 2 power pins are internally decoupled. Therefore dierent
supply voltages on the two connectors are acceptable, e.g. if a backup battery is connected
to one of the two connectors.
Pin Name Pin number I/O
Aircraft Power 1.1/1.6 or 2.1/2.6 In

Connection of input power to incorrect pins can cause damage to the unit that will
require return to the factory for repair. Ensure that the power supply is connected to
the correct pins and does not short to any adjacent pins prior to applying power to
the unit.
