2About this Manual
This manual describes the installation and checkout procedures for the ADS600-B UAT Data
Link Transceiver.
The ADS600-B unit is intended to be installed in aircraft that do not require an STC for
installation.
2.1 FCC Grant of Equipment Authorization
This equipment has been issued an FCC Grant of Equipment Authorization. The FCC ID is marked on the
equipment nameplate.
3Equipment Description
The ADS600-B UAT Data Link Transceiver contains a GPS/WAAS receiver and a Universal
Access receiver and transmitter. This unit transmits a GPS position and aircraft information
message once per second. Additionally, this unit receives messages from other UAT equipped
aircraft and receives TIS-B/FIS-B messages from GBTs. Data received by the ADS600-B is

3.3.1 Display
The ADS600-B outputs to compatible displays both traffic and weather information. The ability
to display traffic and/or weather depends on the display device.
3.3.2 Maintenance Port
The ADS600-B provides an RS232 communication port that is used to configure and monitor the
status of the ADS600-B system via a computer. The maintenance port is required to be
connected.
3.3.3 Annunciator Output
The ADS600-B can drive an external annunciator lamp.
3.4 Antenna Requirements
3.4.1 GPS Antenna
The ADS600-B requires one GPS antenna. GPS antenna performance is critical to the operation
of the ADS600-B GPS/WAAS receiver. Table 3-2 contains a list of GPS antennas that are
recommended for use with the ADS600-B. Other GPS antennas may meet the installation
requirements of the ADS600-B. Contact the factory to ensure antenna compatibility prior to
installing your ADS600-B.
3.4.2 UAT Antenna
The ADS600-B requires one UAT antenna meeting the following specification: standard 50Ω
vertically polarized antenna with a VSWR < 1.7:1 at 978MHz. Table 3-1 contains a list of UAT
antennas that are recommended for use with the ADS600-B.
Some types (1030 and 1090MHz) of transponder antennas use very thin radiator elements.
These types of antennas should be closely evaluated to determine their suitability as UAT data
link antennas.
Operating the ADS600-B without RF terminations on the UAT Antenna port can result in
equipment damage. Operate the ADS600-B with the UAT antenna port terminated with a
VSWR ratio of 3.0:1 or less.

Follow avionics installation practices per FAA Advisory Circular (AC) 43.13-1B, 43-13-2A, or
FAA approved revisions to these documents.
Perform an electrical load analysis in accordance with AC 43.13-1B, Chapter 11, on the aircraft
prior to installation to ensure that the aircraft’s electrical system is capable of carrying the
ADS600-B load. Section 3.1 describes the power consumption of the ADS600-B.
3.5.1 Materials Not Supplied
The following items are required for the ADS600-B installation, but are not supplied:
UAT Antenna (Table 3-1 provides a list of recommended UAT Antennas)
GPS Antenna, if installing an external GPS input for ADS600-B (Table 3-2 provides a
list of recommended GPS Antennas)
Wire (MIL-W-22759/16 or equivalent)
Shielded wire (MIL-C-27500 or equivalent)
Circuit Breakers
