Text diagnostic module (TDM)
The TDM serves to assist the operator and simplify handling of the aircraft tractor.
The TDM displays the following information during normal driving operation.
·Status messages (e.g. “AST ready for service”) or
·Commands (e.g. “Release parking brake") or
·error messages (e.g. “E991:EDP01-ERR:186 CODE:3”)
Structure of error messages:
In the error message example “E991:EDP01-ERR:186 CODE:3” means:
“E991:xxxxxxxxxx” = message number
“xxx ERR:186 xxx” = error number
“xxxxxxxxCODE:3” = error code
The driver must notify the message number, error number and error code to
the workshop.
During driving operation the TDM is in user mode (driving operation).
Apart from assisting the operator, the TDM is also used for the following tasks:
·Aircraft selection
·Other functions (e.g. heating ON/OFF)
Text diagnostic module (TDM) – aircraft selection
AC1-AC6 Aircraft selection buttons
