Transponder Test and Conguration unit

TTC 400 description
The TTC 400 has been developed to provide a quick and easy
way to test and congure all applications on Kongsberg Mari-
time transponders, prior to sea deployment.
The TTC 400 is based around a splash-proof, small «all in
one» and portable unit. The unit is equipped with carrying
handles.
A small transducer on a cable, connects to the front of the unit.
This is all what is required to in-air-test transponders anywhere
the operator should choose to perform a thorough test, or recon-
guring a transponder.
TTC 400
• The TTC 400 applies for HiPAP, HPR 400 and HPR
300 channels.
• The TTC 400 can test and congure transponders using
the 30 kHz frequency band (MF).
TTC 400 standard model
The TTC 400 unit is for use on deck / in air.
Option
As an option, the TTC 400 can be used with an over-the-
side dunking transducer for test and conguration of trans-
ponders at sea.
