ILS Marker 413
Description and Operation General

CHAPTER 1
GENERAL

1.1 INTRODUCTION
See Fig. 1-1.

A marker beacon is a component of the Instrument Landing System (ILS); it serves as a navigation
aid during ILS landing procedures, whereby the pilot of the aircraft flying over the marker beacons
during the landing approach is provided via radio with distance markings indicating his current
distance from the runway threshold. The marker beacons are conform to the ICAO recommendations
in Annex 10 and to the technical requirements of the Deutsche Flugsicherung GmbH (DFS)1). A markĆ
er beacon can be supplied as single or dual installation.

Two - or in special cases three - marker beacons are required for the ILS landing procedure. They
are known as the OUTER marker, MIDDLE marker and INNER marker in accordance with their point
of installation, whereby the inner marker is only installed on request. Each marker beacon transmits
on a carrier frequency of 75 MHz a particular code via an associated antenna vertically upwards. In
the case of the OUTER marker the carrier frequency is modulated with 400 Hz and dash keyed. In
the case of the MIDDLE marker the carrier frequency is modulated with 1300 Hz and is dash-dot
keyed. In the case of the INNER marker the carrier frequency is modulated with 3000 Hz and is dot
keyed.

The antennas of the marker beacons have a vertically upward radiation characteristic. The antenna
of the OUTER marker beacon is located approximately 7 km, that of the MIDDLE marker beacon
approximately 1 km and that of the INNER marker beacon approximately 75 m ahead of the runway
threshold. The transmitter and antenna can be installed ± 75 m both sides of the runway center line
extension in the case of the OUTER and MIDDLE marker beacons. In the case of the INNER marker
beacon on the other hand, the antenna is installed on the runway center line extension, the transmitter
is installed approximately 60 m away from this line.

Marker 413 ILS
General Description and Operation
The low electrical power requirement for operation makes it possible to maintain interrupt-free operĆ
ation for several hours in case of a failure in the mains power supply or the battery-charged power
supply with the aid of the battery operating in standby parallel mode.

The installation is generally accommodated in a marker building or shelter. It is largely insensitive to


humidity and temperature variations. Extreme climatic conditions however necessitate the installation
of heating or cooling units for regulating the humidity.

The following functions of the installation are monitored during operation:

- Transmitter power
- Modulation depth
- Code (transmitter failure)

If a fault or failure is determined in one or more of these monitored functions, either there is a changeĆ
over to the standby transmitter or the marker beacon is deactivated.

Description and Operation General
1.3 SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

1.3.1 Operating at the device

The supply voltage should always be disconnected by actuating the main switch (PSS) (Fig. 2-3/1)
on the rear side before removing a subassembly or a plug-in connection in order to avoid danger
to persons or subsequent damage to subassemblies. The device should be disconnected from the
mains before commencing maintenance or installation operations

1.3.2 Handling subassemblies

When replacing subassemblies and plug-in cards containing electrostatically sensitive compoĆ
nents, special precautionary measures should be taken during removal, transport and installation in
order to prevent damage to the components.

PCB's containing electrostatically sensitive components are marked with this symbol:

This damage may be caused by the person performing the subassembly replacement being charged
up via an insulated plastic floor covering or via plastic clothing (e.g. soles) and by the charge being
transferred to the terminals of the MOS components.

In order to avoid this, firm contact should be made between the device ground of the system and the
hand before and during removal or insertion of the subassembly. Any body charge is then discharged
to the device ground. When the subassembly has been removed, the short-circuit bar provided
should be connected to the connector strip, and the subassembly placed in the special container.
When the subassembly is inserted the appropriate procedure should be followed. The sequence is
described below:
- Discharge the body touching the system ground with both hands,
- Remove the subassembly from the special container,
- Remove the short-circuit bar from the subassembly,
- Touch the device ground,
- Insert the subassembly, if possible whilst retaining contact with the device ground.
Further instructions on this type of safety measure can be found in the section Operation and MainteĆ
nance in this manual.

1.3.3 Handling lead batteries

WARNING

Before starting up a battery, i.e. before filling an empty battery with acid, the relevant inĆ
structions in chapter 7.4 should always be observed.

Protective goggles should be worn for all maintenance operations which involve opening the acid
screw caps. Any acid which spatters should be removed immediately from the clothing by washing
with water or any soda solution (100 g soda to 1 l water) on account of its highly caustic effect. PenetraĆ
tion of soda or soda solution inside the cells should be avoided at all costs.

Ed. 01.02 1-5


Marker 413 ILS
General Description and Operation
When the emergency battery is charged up during mains operation oxyhydrogen gas results from
the decomposition of the water. For this reason the ventilation holes on outside of the battery box
should not be sealed.

1.3.4 Components with beryllium oxide ceramic


Some subassemblies of the marker are equipped with transistors containing beryllium oxide. These
transistors are in accordance with the latest state of the art and are used all over the world.
The ceramic components with beryllium oxide incorporated in the transistors are completely harmĆ
less in a solid, compact state. The transistors mentioned in the table should never be dismantled or
shattered. We should point out that if any of these transistors are opened, care should be taken that
no beryllium oxide dust is produced, since this is harmful to health.
This indication should also be observed when the components are scrapped or disposed of.

Beryllium oxide is contained in the high-power transistors below:

COMPONENT TRANSISTOR USED ON SUBASSEMBLY CODE NUMBER


V2 BLF244 TX-M 1AB088290001
Fig. 1-2 Components with beryllium oxide ceramic

1.3.5 Using Lithium Batteries


Always observe the label on the battery. Thales ATM recommends only those with lithium copper oxĆ
ide. Other types of lithium battery, e.g. those with lithium sulphur dioxide, are not approved by Thales
ATM for use in navigation systems.

WARNING

Do not recharge, disassemble, heat above 100 °C, incinerate the lithium cell. Do not short
circuit or solder directly on the cell. Disrespect of the norms regarding the use of lithium
batteries may cause risk of fire, explosion, toxid liquid and gas to leak out. Run-down
batteries are elements that pollute the environment and must be eliminated with proper
precautions.

1.3.6 Operations on the Antenna System


The risk of accidents is due to the fact that operations on the antenna system must be performed on
the roof of the transmitter building. It is not possible to install a guard rail on the roof for electrical reaĆ
sons. A safety ladder, which cannot slide or fall over, should be used to climb onto the roof.

1.3.7 Miscellaneous
During storms operations outside the transmitter building or on the antenna system are forbidden due
to the risk of lightning.

1.3.8 Observation of safety regulations


In addition to the above-mentioned instructions for avoiding damage, locally valid safety regulations
should always be observed.

ILS Marker 413
Description and Operation Technical Description

CHAPTER 2
TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION

2.1 FUNCTIONAL OVERVIEW


See Fig. 2-1.
The transmitter operates with a carrier frequency of 75 MHz generated by a quartz oscillator. This carriĆ
er is amplitude-modulated via a modulator with an AF of 400, 1300 or 3000 Hz (depending on the
point of installation of the marker beacon). The AF is either dash keyed, dash-dot keyed or dot keyed,
likewise depending on the point of installation of the marker beacon. When conditioned in this manner
the carrier frequency is supplied via the RF amplifier to the antenna switch, and from there to the transĆ
mitter antenna. A part of the RF is coupled out via the RF amplifier, demodulated and supplied to the
Control Logic Marker (CL-M) via a second output for monitoring the depth of modulation and the
code. A part of the RF radiated by the transmitter antenna is coupled out via a coupling probe at the
antenna and supplied to the Monitor Signal Processor (MSP-M). If the nominal values for the three
monitored functions: transmitter power, modulation depth and code (transmitter failure) are not obĆ
tained, the Control and Status Board (CSB) changes over to the standby transmitter, and the transmitĆ
ter antenna is likewise switched to the standby transmitter via the antenna switch. The design and
functioning of the standby transmitter are identical to those of the service transmitter. The remote conĆ
trol unit, via which the various monitoring operations and commands are implemented, transmits a
changeover message to the tower.

Technical Description Description and Operation

2.2 MECHANICAL DESIGN

See Fig. 2-2 to 2-3.

The mechanical design of the marker beacon is based on "ISEP" module technique located in a 19"
housing. All plug-in cards are accommodated on a assembly carrier (subrack) behind a front panel
which can be hinge-opened. A control and indication panel (part of the LCSU) is located on the front
panel. The subrack is a 19" slide in unit. Rails made out of plastic are located at the top and at the
bottom of the subrack to guide the plug-in subassemblies with the standard size of 100 x 160 mm.

Metal contacts to hold the subassembly connectors are located at the rear end. An internal wire-conĆ
nection between the subrack and the backpanel and the Control and Status Board (CSB) is estabĆ
lished. The main switch (PSS) with mains cable socket, the DC-switch, the battery terminals, the
RF-connectors, the ground terminals and the connectors to connect the peripheral equipments are
located on the rear side (/backpanel).

2.3.2 Transmitter (TX-M)


See Fig. 2-5.

The Fig. 2-5 shows the block diagram of the transmitter (TX-M) together with the modulation conĆ
trol. A crystal oscillator generates a frequency of 75 MHz with an accuracy of ±5 x10-5. The RF signal
is amplified by the RF stages up to 3 W. The CMOS output transistor is modulated according to the
tone signals defined for the application as outer, middle or inner marker in Section 1.2.4.2. For the
generation of the keyed tone signals on the modulation control (part of the CL-M) the frequency of
a crystal oscillator with 6.5536 MHz (216 x100 Hz) is divided in a way to control the signal processing.
The analog modulation control voltage for the modulation of the 75 MHz RF signal is generated with
the aid of 12 Bit D/A converters.

The first 12 Bit D/A converter generates the analog sinusoidal voltage. The second 12 Bit D/A converĆ
ter is used as an analog multiplier. With the digital control data the signal amplitude can be varied
(control of depth of modulation). The third D/A converter is used to control the complete modulation
signal (output power control). All the control signals for the modulation signal processing are delivĆ
ered from the CL-M.

The location of the TX-M shows Fig. 2-4.

2.3.3 Antenna Switch (AS-M)


See Fig. 2-6.
The selected transmitter to be connected to the antenna is switched by this switch. The control signal
is generated also by the CSB. Hot standby operation will not be provided. Thus only one transmitter
can be switched on and will be connected to the antenna automatically. Besides the antenna switch
there is also a bidirectional 20 dB coupler on the module. The incident and reflected signals are deĆ
tected. Only the incident signal is used for transmitter control. Both the incident and the reflected sigĆ
nals are used for BIT control. A low pass Filter (LPF) reduces the harmonics of the 75 MHz carrier.

2.3.4 Control Logic Marker (CL-M)


See Fig. 2-7
The functions realized on the CL-M are:
- analog/digital conversion of 16 analog signals coming from the monitor- and transmitter modules
- power supply control to switch the DC voltages including a mechanical power supply switch (PSS)
- modulation control for the transmitter(s).

The A/D converter has a resolution of 12 Bits and measures the


- battery voltages and currents for battery monitoring
- demodulated filter output signals and DC voltages from the Monitor Signal Processor(s) to monitor
the RF level, depth of modulation and the code of the audio signals
- various test signals for Built-In Test (BIT).

The DC/DC control is used to switch the transmitter on and off under operators and monitor control.
In a dual transmitter configuration, only one transmitter can be switched on (cold standby only). In
case of battery operation and if the capacity gets to low, the operating transmitter can be switched
off automatically under control of the LCSU/CSB. In case the mains supply is further missing, the batĆ
tery gets discharged further on by the current of the LCSU/CSB monitor operation only. If the mains
supply gets available again, the transmitter is switched on automatically by the LCSU/CSB and if not
at a minimal battery voltage the PSS gets switched off.
From the LCSU/CSB a data bus connection (CSL-bus) is implemented to deliver control data to the
CL-M and to receive measurement data from the CL-M to the LCSU/CSB.

The location of the CL-M shows Fig. 2-4.

2.3.5 Monitor Signal Processor (MSP-M)
See Fig. 2-8.
The Monitor Signal Processor gets the input signal from the coupling probe of the marker antenna.
After passing a RF filter the sensor signal gets detected by a precision detector. The demodulated
signal is fed to an audio filter bank after the demodulation, for each type of marker configuration a
tone filter is provided. The peak voltage of the extracted tone signals and also the averaged video
signal (from the LPF) are selected by a multiplexer, analog/digital converted and then processed by
the CSB. The averaged video signal is used for carrier power monitoring and the tone signals together
with the video signals are processed to monitor modulation depth and code.

For dual monitoring also two MSP subassemblies may be installed into the marker equipment and
the measured signals are than processed by the CSB in the same way. An And/Or monitor configuraĆ
tion can then be selected. A T-link has to be installed to divide the sensor signal for two MSP.

The location of the MSP shows Fig. 2-4.

See Fig. 2-11.

The CSB is a part of the LCSU (Local Control and Status Unit) which comprises the CSB and the ConĆ
trol and Indication panel. The CSB is located on the rear of the marker front panel. The LCSU with
the CSB is the switching center between the operator side (local or remote) and the marker. Its most
important tasks are as follows:

- Communication control and communication with the various functional units


- Sequence control (control of transmitter and power supply)
- Local display control and local operation (via local Control and Indication Panel)
- Remote control (communication with RMMC)

Description and Operation Technical Description
The CSB is communicating with following equipment functions and components:

S Communication with transmitter


- switching on/off transmitter
- controlling of modulation signal processing
- transmitter selection (connect selected transmitter to antenna)

S Communication with monitor


- receiving monitor data (trasnmitter power, modulation depth, code) to transfer it to RMMC via
modem, if requested

S Communication with power supply


- switching on battery in case of mains power loss
- switching off transmitter, if minimum capacity level of battery is reached (to avoid over-
discharge of battery)
- switching on/off of DC/DC-converter

S Communication with local PC (PC user program ADRACS)

S Communication with remote PC via modem (dedicated or switched line)

The CSB is equipped for these tasks with an processor 80386 (or TI486), as well as the peripherals
needed for various purposes. The processor functions are defined by the associated software. The
Input/Output register function is used to control both transmitters, monitors and the power supply.
Two serial interfaces are connected to the modems (dedicated line or switched line modems). A furĆ
ther serial channel is used for PC control of the marker. A number of serial and parallel interfaces perĆ
mit communication with the other parts of the system.

Auxiliary optocoupler isolated inputs via register 1,2 (IN) and solid state relays isolated outputs via
register 1,2 (OUT) may be used for additional features of the user. The parallel, isolated inputs and
outputs can be reserved for various analog signals to supply additional information (e.g. burglar
alarm, fire etc.). The auxiliary inputs (IAUX8..15) can be set to high or low level logic with jumper J1..4).
The auxiliary outputs and inputs are available at the top of the cabinet. The MEM I/O decoder (output
register 8,9; U82,84) is reserved for ROM/RAM disk memory bank selection, if a ROM/RAM disk is
used.

The BATTERY BACKUP function on the CSB board is used for RAM data retention. Moreover the batĆ
tery voltage is connected to the PC-104 CPU board for real time clock and setup data retention. The
battery is a non rechargeable Lithium cell with a voltage rating of 3.6 V. For battery backup to work,
jumper J21 must be closed. The battery voltage is compared against a fixed reference voltage of U83.
If the voltage drops to <2.9 V a BIT signal is generated.

The CSB has its own RESET signal controlled by the switch SW2 at the supervisory circuit U83. This
signal is ORed with the reset on the PC-104 board. The watch-dog on the CSB board is active if
jumper J19 is closed and if enabled by software.

2.3.6.3 Modems
2.3.6.3.1 Dedicated Line Modem ZUA
See Fig. 2-14.
The ZUA is an interface board for converting a V.24/V.28 (RS232C) or V.11 (RS422) interface to an FSK
signal (frequency shift keying) according to CCITT V.23 (half duplex operation). The digital interface
can be set to either V.24/V.28 or V.11. It is possible to connect transmission links with a frequency
range of 300 Hz to 3.4 kHz, and to transmit data asynchronously and code-transparently up to a rate
of 1200 baud. The information which must be transmitted (voice frequency telegraphy signals) takes
the form of commands and interrogations. The center transmission frequency at 1200 Bd (standard
setting) is 1700 Hz, with a frequency deviation of ±400 Hz (i.e. fu=1300 Hz and fo=2100 Hz). The conĆ
nection is implemented using a 2-wire line. The received information is converted into DC signals
in the modem and supplied to the connected station via the V.24 interface. In the opposite direction,
the status messages and acknowledgments which must be transmitted from the connected station
are offered to the V.24 interface of the ZUA in the form of DC signals. The modem converts this informaĆ
tion into modulated AC signals.
The ZUA incorporates a 2/4-wire amplifier, which can be looped into a transmission path in order
to compensate the attenuation. It is also used as a switching network for coupling the FSK transmit
and receive signals in and out. The amplifier is switched permanently in 4-wire mode; in 2-wire
mode, it is through-connected in the desired direction according to the incoming levels. Sequence
control is handled by a microcomputer (63701 type). The ZUA can be looped in to implement a transiĆ
tion from 2-wire to 4-wire lines. Tandem operation with a high input impedance and a variable output
impedance is also possible. A watchdog timer checks that the microcomputer is functioning correctly.
The voltage monitor trips a reset if the 5 V operating voltage is no longer present. In addition, a continĆ
uous tone can be switched in the transmit direction in order to adjust the level of the ZUA; the tone
can either have a constant frequency or be an FSK signal for tuning the internal FSK receiver.

Technical Description Description and Operation
The activity of the transmit and receive data and the levels on the connected lines are indicated by
LEDs. The connected trunk circuits are accessible via ISEP test sockets on the front panel. The gain
can be set separately with jumpers for each transmission direction. The signals of F11 and F21 are
supplied to the modem. The transmit signal of the modem is switched to the F12 and F22 outputs
with the signal of the analog switch (MRTS).
The transmit level of the modem can be set jointly for both outputs by means of jumpers. The LD A
and LD B LEDs indicate the receive levels of F11 and F21, while the TxD and RxD LEDs indicate activity
on the transmit and receive data lines. The CTRS interface signal switches the transmit level of the
modem via MRTS. The MDCD input signal is switched to the TCRR interface line and indicates readiĆ
ness to receive.
The location for the ZUA is shown in Fig. 2-4.

2.3.6.3.2 Dedicated Line Modem LGM1200MD


See Fig. 2-15.
The LGM 1200MD is a universally applicable half duplex permanent line modem. The data transfer
rate is 1200 or 600 bit/s. The LGM 1200MD (MD=multidrop) is optimised for operation on permanent
two-wire lines in the so called party line mode. In this case, several modems are served by a control
station via one line only (polling mode). On replacement, the LGM1200MD is used instead of the
ZUA29. It occupies one LGM slot.
The LGM 1200MD operates in the voice band with FSK modulation, i.e. frequency shift keying in con-
formity with V.23 at 1300 and 2100 Hz with up to 1200 bit/s and 1300 and 1700 Hz with up to 600
bit/s. The data transfer method is half duplex or simplex. Generation of interfering trailing bits (on
deactivation of the remote transmitter) is largely excluded by process–controlled ”fast clamping” of
the received data. In the asynchronous mode, data transfer from 0 to 1200 bit/s or 0 to 600 bit/s is
possible, independently of the code and speed. A microcomputer controls and monitors all functions
of the LGM. Parameters for the processor and processor–independent circuitry can be influenced
by means of 14 adjacent coding switches. A power–on self–test is run. LEDs indicate transmit and
receive data activity or line seizure. The connected trunk lines are accessible via an ISEP test socket
on the front panel. (for monitoring the analog line signal). When the ”TEST” key on the front panel
is pressed, the modem is switched to the ”close range analog loop” (without transmitter) while the key
is pressed. This is also active during the transmission phase (the connection is then aborted).
In half duplex mode on two–wire connections, the participating data transmission equipment each
seizes the telephone line in succession. The respective DTE responsible for transmission controls
operation with the 105/S2/RTS (ready to send) signal. This activates the modem’s carrier. The DTE
must only offer data to the modem via the 103/D1/TD line once a specific delay after ready to send
has elapsed and the modem has switched the 106/M2/CTS (clear to send). During the delay time
between the ”ready to send” 105/S2/RTS and ”clear to send” 106/M2/CTS signals, the signal detector
of the receiving modem will already react and will adapt the clock signals of the receiver to the clock
pulse of the incoming signals. With the 109/M5/DCD (receive signal level) signal, the receiving mo-
dem indicates that it is capable of forwarding received data (104/D2/RD). If the 109/M5/DCD (receive
signal level) signal is not in the ON state, the receive interface line (104/D2/RD) is in the ”I” state.
A so–called fast clamping circuit is integrated in the LGM1200MD to avoid trailing bits during recep-
tion. It is processor–controlled, with the result that no more than 1 byte can occur as a trailing byte.

NOTE: When using the LGM1200MD the permanent line must be equipped with a termination
(600 Ohm/47 nF parallel) at the point where it ends (station and remote ends). The R/C
combination can be soldered onto the 9pin SubD connector with the two-wire line.
The location for the ZUA is shown in Fig. 2-4.

2.3.6.3.3 Switched Line Modem LGM28.8


See Fig. 2-16.
The LGM28.8 is a high speed modem for duplex operation which supports all common duplex moduĆ
lation procedures. The modem is designed for synchronous as well as asynchronous data transmisĆ
sion according to the following CCITT modulation modes: V.34, V.32bis, V.32, V.22bis, V.22, and V.21,
which have implemented the data securing procedures according to V.42 and MNP4. Data compressĆ
ing to increase the baud rate is implemented according to V.42bis and MNP5. These procedures enĆ
able a practical fault free transmission between two data terminal equipment (DTE) units. Depending
on the procedure the transmission rate can be increased up to 38400 Bd (autobaud) using V.42bis
and the AT -mode/reliable mode. The modem can also communicate with modems from other venĆ
dors at the same transmission rates, providing these modems comply with CCITT Recommendations
V.22 and V.22bis. Software configuration is possible using AT or DNL commands while hardware conĆ
figuration is performed employing the DIP switches located at the bottom and on one side of the moĆ
dule. It is designed for operation in public switched networks and consequently equipped with an inteĆ
grated automatic dialing facility (IAWD). Data connections can however also be set up by the subĆ
scriber dialing manually and pressing the data key. Point-to-point operation on dedicated lines
(leased or tie lines) is likewise possible. Almost all the modem functions can be set by the data terminal
equipment (DTE) using a command set in accordance with CCITT Recommendation V.25bis. Correct
operation of the microprocessor and the signal processors is monitored by an integrated circuit,
which initiates a "master reset" if one of these processors malfunctions (watchdog).
A data connection can be set up by means of either the integrated automatic dialing facility or the
automatic call acceptance feature. It is also possible to dial out or to accept incoming calls manually.
No dialing takes place on dedicated lines. All the V.25bis commands and messages are exchanged
via the interfaces which are also used to transfer the actual data.

Technical Description Description and Operation
After a call request with identification, the LGM checks whether the subscriber line is already busy,
i.e. whether the subscriber is in the process of making a call. If not, the outside line is seized. The LGM
then transmits the dialed digits which have previously been transmitted by the DTE. After the dialing
procedure, an intermittent 1300 Hz tone is transmitted and the modem waits for a constant 2100 Hz
answer tone. As soon as this answer tone - which is transmitted by modems with an automatic call
acceptance facility - is identified, the two modems start the prolog (handshake).

A data connection can only be terminated by the DTE, unless there is no carrier for more than 250
ms/10 s. In this case, the line seizure is canceled by the LGM. Eighteen switches are provided on the
PC board for presetting the seven different operating modes, the four communication protocols and
various other parameters. A self-test is performed each time the modem is switched on. The default
setup is as follows: 2400 bd, V.22bis, autodial.

If autodial is set, the connection is set up automatically by the modem. The telephone number is
notified to the modem by means of a request (command). This call request with identification can be
preceded by a command for setting the transmission parameters. The command and the desired data
(transmission parameters and telephone number) can be transmitted automatically using the
communication software, i.e. the user does not need to concern him or herself with this.

Description and Operation Emergency Power Supply

CHAPTER 3
EMERGENCY POWER SUPPLY

3.1 GENERAL

The emergency power supply comprises an external connected battery which is loaded and switched
by the plug-in subassembly AC/DC converter.

CAUTION

Alkaline batteries, e.g. nickel-cadmium batteries, require a different charging method,


and cannot therefore be used in conjunction with the AC/DC converter plug-in subasĆ
sembly integrated in the marker beacon.

3.2 BATTERY

A set of lead batteries comprising four single batteries supplies the marker beacon in case of a mains
failure or a maintenance-related disconnection of the primary voltage. Starter batteries, which are
maintained at a permanent cell voltage of 2.25 V (standby parallel operation) by the AC/DC converter,
are supplied by the NAV appliance manufacturer as standard for navigation installations (NAV 400).
Due to limitation of the charging voltage to 48 V and of the charging current to max. 1.5 A, the max.
cell voltage is 2.28 V and therefore below the gassing voltage. Each of the six batteries has three cells.
The normal temperature range for the charged lead batteries is -20...+50 °C. The battery type recĆ
ommended by the NAV appliance manufacturer has a capacity tailored to the requirements of the
marker installation.

Recommended battery type: Block battery (Make: VARTA)

VARTA identification number: 250 0800 601, Type: SBS 8

S Voltage : 12 V
S Capacity : 7 Ah
S Weight : 4x 2.7 kg
S Length : 138 mm
S Width : 86 mm
S Height : 103 mm

CAUTION

Maintenance-free batteries have to be set into operation within a half year after delivery
to prevent drawback in lifetime of battery.

CHAPTER 4
REMOTE MAINTENANCE AND MONITORING CONFIGURATION
(RMMC)
4.1 APPLICATION AND DESIGN
The Remote Maintenance and Monitoring Configuration (RMMC) is used for remote monitoring, operĆ
ation and maintenance of all the connected navigation systems. The network has a radially configured
architecture based on communication between the system components via switched or private lines
in the public network and dedicated lines in private networks.
The remote control instruments allow all the networked navigation systems to be operated optionally
from central points, from normal operation of the dual systems with automatic changeover in the event
of a fault through manual operation to measurement and setting of all the possible signal parameters,
as well as detailed fault analyses on the basis of a wide range of measured values. They facilitate new
maintenance strategies, whereby importance is placed firstly on concentrating logistics and qualified
personnel, and secondly on responding to specific failures with systematic maintenance activities
rather than relying on periodic precautionary measures. This considerably improves both mainteĆ
nance efficiency and the economic efficiency of the systems throughout their service life.
Although these advantages only apply to the modern generation of air traffic control systems develĆ
oped by Thales ATM, with the navigational aids, namely the CVOR and DVOR, the ILS and MLS instruĆ
ment landing systems, the ILS farfield monitor (FFM), the TACAN 453 and the DME 415/435 radio beaĆ
cons, the electronic TACAN antenna (ELTA 200) and the NDB 436, the extensive range of interface
boards makes it possible to incorporate other collocated systems in the remote control and monitorĆ
ing strategy if desired.

RMMC Description and Operation

4.1.1 Hierarchy of RMMC Remote Control Equipments


At the top, the Central Remote Maintenance Center (RMC-C) is used to obtain an overview of the
status of all systems. The RMC-C is connected via dialing modems to the PTT net to obtain serial
data from the RMC-R, NAV-LCU 443 or RCMS 443.
At the RMC-R the main status of all en-route equipment (VOR, DME-Transponder and TACAN-
ground stations) of one defined region are displayed continuously at an indication and control panel
(INC) to the controller for en-route. Besides en-route subsystems, the main status of the Landing
Systems ILS and MLS are also displayed for maintenance purposes. The RMC-R is also connected
to the PTT via autodialing modems. For special applications a dedicated line interface may be proĆ
vided. For maintenance activities at the screen of the Personal Computer maintenance data are disĆ
played. The maintenance technician obtains all the data from the subsystems configured for this reĆ
gion with defined menus on the screen of the data terminal (PC). It is possible to use the ADRACS
software (Automatic Data Recording And Control System) for maintenance purposes to control NaĆ
vaids 400 or SYSTEM 4000 equipment at the remote site. For ELTA-, DME-, or TACAN-PC the suĆ
pervisory programs are employed.
The RCMS 443 and the NAV-LCU 443 are link control units and provide central points for communiĆ
cation between RMC's and the navaids systems. While the RCMS is connected via twisted telephone
line pairs and modems to the ILS/MLS-equipment the NAV-LCU 443 has direct RS-232/422 interĆ
faces to the VOR, TACAN/DME and ELTA-equipment. For small projects, it is possible to connect
the NAV-LCU of en-route navigation systems via switched lines to an RCMS.

4.1.2.2 Remote Control and Status Equipment RCSE 443

The RCSE is an REU with a control and indication panel (INC). It can be used as a simple, yet comĆ
plete, remote control unit. The INC indicates the states of up to eight substations with the following
LED displays: ALARM, WARNING, NORMAL, DATA COMmunication and MAINTENance.

An alarm tone is sounded if a status changes. Each station can be selected by pressing a membrane
button, in order to activate the EQUIPment ON, OFF and CHANGEOVER functions and to indicate
specific monitor alarms. An additional status indication device is the control tower unit (CTU), which
however, only indicates the NORMAL, WARNING and ALARM operating states of up to eight NAV staĆ
tions. Its display brightness is adjustable to permit adaptation to the varying light conditions in the
control tower. The CTU can be used in conjunction with a runway selector (RWY-SELECT), which
activates the ILS systems in one approach direction and switches the other direction to a dummy load.
This panel also indicates the general status of the two ILS systems (OPERATIONAL, DEGRADED,
SHUT DOWN) and their availability (ENABLE) to aircraft as a landing aid.

A variety of interface boards is available for serial or parallel data I/O, installing an ETHERNET interĆ
face, connecting a PC and autodialing via the public network (PTT), so that the system has a considerĆ
able potential for expansion. The connections to the NAV stations are set up via modems and teleĆ
phone lines (600 ohms). The control and indication panels are connected by means of serial RS422
interfaces.

RMMC Description and Operation

4.1.2.3 Remote Control and Monitoring System RCMS 443

The maintenance, fault analysis and documentation functions of the RMMC are implemented by conĆ
necting a PC system to the RCSE and installing the RMS or RCMS application software on it. The
difference in the names is a reflection of the definitions laid down by the U.S. FAA. An RMS designed
for maintenance purposes has direct, permanent access to the navigation systems via separate cable
connections, and is operated independently of the Remote Control and Status Equipment (RCSE),
while an RCMS uses the same communication paths for the maintenance functions as it does for reĆ
mote control and monitoring. The following functions are provided:
- System status indication for each connected system
- Permanent indication of the general status of all systems
- Permanent indication of the current date and time
- Detailed status indications for a selected system
- Polling, display and setting of system parameters
- Polling of internal measured values (BITE)
- Continuous monitoring of parameters (either printout if a programmable limit value is reached or
periodic polling)
- 5-level password protection
- Configuration of the remote maintenance and monitoring system
- Loading and saving of setups for operation
- Logbook function, status and alarm history memories
- Selection of data to be printed out

4.1.2.4 Navaids Local Communication Unit NAV-LCU 443

The NAV-LCU is a device used as local communication interface between en-route navigation sysĆ
tems TACAN, ELTA, CVOR, DVOR and the RMC. The NAV-LCU comprises a remote control electronĆ
ic unit (REU), which is equipped according to the specific requirements of the NAV station. It serves
as a communication interface between the connected equipment and the public switched network,
and as a common point for connecting a service terminal (Laptop PC) for commissioning and mainteĆ
nance purposes.

In Navaids 400 en-route navigation systems (e.g. CVOR 431) no separate NAV-LCU has to be used
as local communication interface. The NAV-LCU functionality is integrated in the Navaids 400 subĆ
rack, i.e. the LCU software is running on the already existing LCSU/CSB board, additional modems
are used for communication purposes.

4.1.2.5 Remote Maintenance Center RMC 443

If a maintenance center is installed, it is possible to connect several different remote control systems
to a central REU via switched lines. The general status of all the remote control systems in the network
is indicated permanently on one or more INC panels. Any change in a status causes a connection
to be set up automatically from the NAV-LCU or the RCSE to the responsible center and all the curĆ
rent status information to be transmitted. The center can also be set up to poll the regional stations
periodically.

The center is fully equipped to exchange such data with the networked systems which is necessary
for it to be able to perform a detailed fault diagnosis. It communicates either directly with en-route
navigation systems via switched connections or with ILS substations via the Remote Control and StaĆ
tus Equipment (RCSE) at each airfield.

INSTALLATION AND ALIGNMENT PROCEDURE

5.1 GENERAL

This chapter describes the installation and the alignment procedure of the marker. The equipment-
and system-configuration depends on the installation site. The configuration of the marker to the
installation site is done by means of software.

5.2 INSTALLATION

5.2.1 Determining the Installation Site

The area in which a marker should be installed is determined by the Civil Aviation Authority according
to the international air traffic regulations. The installation site of the OUTER and MIDDLE marker
beacons should be on the runway center line extension. Deviations of ± 75 m on both sides are
permissible. In the case of the INNER marker beacon on the other hand, the antenna is installed on
the runway center line extension, the transmitter is installed approximately 60 m away from this line.

The installation is determined by means of a site survey e.g. by a firm of surveyors on behalf of the
customer. Thales ATM can also provide an engineering consultant on site for this survey.

5.6 MARKER BUILDING
5.6.1 General
A marker building can be assembled by the customer as a solid construction or can be delivered on
request as a finished product, which takes the form of a shelter.
5.6.2 Shelter
See Fig. 5-2.
The shelter is an extreme light transport cabin in self-supporting construction. The walls, the floor
and the ceiling are light metal sandwich constructions with 1.2 mm aluminum sheets inside and
outside. 50 mm thick Polyurethane-foam plates are located between the sheets for heat insolation.
Two diagonal arranged lifting eyes are secured on top of the shelter. Mounting supports made out
of 12 mm thick aluminum are located in each corner of the floor for mounting the shelter to prepared
foundations (Fig. 5-3) using four stone bolts. An reinforced support plate for mounting the marker
antenna is placed in the middle of the shelter roof. The roof is accessible by two persons at the same
time. The floor is reinforced with a 13 mm thick ship-wood plate. The footwalk is covered with a
2 mm thick plate with projections. The feeding of the power supply and signal cables takes place from
below through openings in the shelter floor. In the middle of one narrow side of the shelter a lockable
door is installed. A platform can be provided in front of the door optionally. The door contains a ventilaĆ
tion opening which is covered by a dry filter. The shelter contains a battery box, which is hermetically

5.6.8 List of DIP-FIX-Switches and Jumpers
5.6.8.1 General

Some of the subassemblies have DIP-FIX switches or jumpers on the component side. The jumpers
act either as on/off switches or as changeover switches. The DIP-FIX switches and jumpers can be
set or placed to particular positions in order to adapt universal subassemblies to specific equipment
types. Other switches or jumpers must be actuated for test and maintenance purposes.

NOTE: Before installing a spare subassembly check and correct if necessary position of the DIP-
FIX switches and jumpers.

Description and Operation Initial Startup
5.7 INITIAL STARTUP

This chapter describes the initial setup procedures for the marker. It is assumed that the equipment
has been preset and tested in the factory.

NOTE: The initial setup procedure has to be done for all marker types (OUTER, MIDDLE and evt.
INNER) at the installation site.

5.7.1 Operation via Personal Computer with ADRACS

A standard or Laptop PC is used to perform locally the first alignment of the installation. The PC should
meet the following requirements:
- Processor Pentium 90 or better (IBM PC/AT compatible)
- 32 MB RAM, min. 1 GB HDD, VGA adapter, CD-ROM drive
- VGA color monitor
- Control via mouse or comparable
- two serial interface connectors
- any 32-Bit version of Microsoft Windows operating system
- min. 10 MB free disk space on HDD

Usual a suitable PC equipment is already available at site. Otherwise it can be delivered on request
as an option by Thales ATM Navigation. The ADRACS operating software for the different NAV sysĆ
tems must be installed on the PC system. The adjustment of the transmitter and monitor parameters
is performed via this terminal using the corresponding menu window. First the ADRACS software
should be installed on the available PC. For installation procedure refer to Section 1.4 of Technical
Manual ADRACS (Reference No. 83140 55324).

NOTE: The older user program version WIN ADRACS is described in technical manual with Ref.
No. 83140 55323.

5.7.2 Recommended Measuring Equipment

- Multimeter
- Dual trace oscilloscope
- RF-power meter

5.7.3 Installation

Before operation, the system must be completed as follows:


- Marker, power supply, battery and antenna must have been installed and wired up.
- Mains voltage must be in accordance with assigned input voltage.
- The marker must be fully equipped with all plug-in units.
- The jumpers on the concerning subassemblies have to be in accordance with the corresponding
installation sites (see section 5.6.8).
- The ADRACS software is loaded to PC (refer to 5.7.1).

Ed. 01.02 5-29


Marker 413 ILS
Initial Startup Description and Operation

5.7.4 First Switching On


5.7.4.1 Status of the System

- Mains off
- Mains switch (AC) on the rear side of the marker to "0": down.
- DC switch (PSS) on the rear side of the marker to "OFF 0": down.
- Battery fuses out (battery fuse box).

5.7.4.2 Special Jumper Settings before Start Up

Individual jumpers have to be set before first switching on. These are concerned with the enabling
of backup batteries for non volatile memory (LCSU/CSB) and the emergency battery management
(CL-M). The location of jumpers is shown in section 5.6.8:
- LCSU/CSB: Set jumper J21 (enabling backup battery).
- CL-M: Set jumper X5 (enabling cutoff for over discharge protection of emergency battery).

5.7.5 Switch On

CAUTION

If no antenna is connected, a 50 W dummy load with a rating of  3 W must be connected


instead. Check the correctness of the RF cabling and the secure position of the connector.

WARNING

Do not contact measurement pins when measuring the mains voltage!


Do not shorten battery terminals when measuring the battery voltage!

a) Check mains voltage with Multimeter (230 VAC/+10/-15 %)


b) Check battery input voltage with multimeter (nom. 48 VDC (48...54 VDC)).
c) Connect PC serial interface (e.g. COM1) to connector RS232 at front panel of LCSU using an interĆ
face cable (zero modem cable).
d) Switch on mains.
e) Insert battery fuses (battery fuse box).
f) Switch the mains switch (AC) to position "I" (up). Switch the DC switch (PSS) to position ON I (up).
The indications on the LCSU/CSB must light up. During initialization of LCSU/CSB a buzzer signal
is set.

In the normal case the standard operation is done via a remote control interface with a user program
ADRACS installed on a PC. For local operation only a few functions are operable with the Control and
Status Board. The alignment procedure and the maintenance are performed with a local connected
PC.

6.2 CONTROL AND STATUS BOARD


See Fig. 6-1.
The Control and Status Board is subdivided into the following fields:
- MAIN STATUS
- DETAILED STATUS
- LCSU
- COMMAND

A serial connector RS 232 is located on the left hand side to interconnect a local PC. The individual
fields contain indications and keys. Only those indications currently in message are lit up and thus
legible. This ensures that misinterpretations are avoided. The meaning of the indications and keys
in the various fields are described in the following sections.

CHAPTER 7
MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR

7.1 MAINTENANCE

There are two basic types of maintenance, namely periodic maintenance and normal maintenance.
It is essential to ensure that the radiated signals remain within the stipulated tolerances at all times
after the marker system has been handed over for air traffic. With this aim in mind, ICAO recommends
verifying the most important signal parameters of the ground station within the framework of periodic
maintenance. In NAV 400, all the main parameters are maintained at the preset values throughout the
entire life of the system by means of a microprocessor in the transmitter, so that drift as a result of
ageing should not normally occur. In addition, the radiated signals are checked by two high-preciĆ
sion monitors (also microprocessor-controlled); these prevent spurious signals from being emitted
by either switching over to the standby transmitter or shutting down the system completely.

Since, moreover, no parts which are subject to mechanical wear and tear are used, the periodic mainĆ
tenance intervals can be made longer than usual and the number of measurements restricted to a
minimum. In addition to the periodic maintenance work, there are a number of normal maintenance
activities which must be performed as and when necessary.

NOTE: The responsible authorities (e.g. ATC/Controls) must be informed before commencing
any maintenance work in accordance with national regulations!

7.1.1 Periodic Maintenance

We recommend performing the maintenance activities listed in the table below once every week,
month, quarterly or yearly. The following measuring instruments are required to do so:
- Frequency counter
- Multimeter, cables, adapters
- Battery maintenance equipment (acidmeter, acid syringe, areometer, thermometer, funnel).

No. Weekly maintenance


1 Check system status and make a visual inspection of building equipment and antenna

No. Monthly maintenance, additional to weekly


2 Check lead batteries including voltage check, acid density.
No. Quarterly maintenance, additional to monthly
3 Check settings of both transmitters
4 Check output power and power alarm
5 Check remote control system (line loss)
6 Check battery function by simulating a power failure
No. Yearly maintenance, additional to quarterly
7 No recommendations

Maintenance and Repair Description and Operation

7.1.1.1 Elimination of Static Charges

A ribbon line with a large cross-sectional area is laid from the ground terminal to the rack and the
work table, and permanently connected to the table and a ground bus on the work surface, to act as
the system ground to eliminate electrostatic charges. This system ground should not be connected
to either the ground wire of the network or the housing and grounds of external loads, in other words
to those loads not associated with the work table, except at the potential equalization bus for the
overall installation. The ground wire which is offered via the mains cable or mains connector is not
suitable for potential equalization of the equipment on a work table. Depending on local circumĆ
stances it carries more or less strong RF interference voltage. Main-supplied equipment, the power
supply and test equipment should be connected via a two-wire line and a two-pin connector.

For measures to be taken with respect to components sensitive to electrical static charging (MOS,
Lower Power Schottky) please refer to the customer service documentation of the manufacturer. If
an employee is required to handle subassemblies for transport purposes, he should place both hands
flat on a grounded surface beforehand (e.g. on the ground bus of the work table). The module can
be picked up by its insulator immediately following this potential equalization. It is safer to avoid
touching the terminals. Only remove short-circuit bars where absolutely necessary. Only place
printed circuit boards on tables with a conductive, grounded work surface. Leave individual subasĆ
semblies in the antistatic plastic bags for as long as possible.

7.1.1.2 Damage Check

The following system parts have to be checked visually for entirety:


- Shelter and equipment
- Antenna installation
- Fence around the shelter/house, if existing
- Tight fitting of all RF cable connections (internal and external)

7.1.1.3 Cleaning

CAUTION

Before opening the marker housing disconnect the mains- and battery supply.
Cleaning aids, such as brushes and dusters, must be made of antistatic material (see secĆ
tion 7.1.1.1).

- Shelter
Brushes, dusters and a vacuum cleaner should be used to clean the transmitter rack and the rack
for the battery-charged power supply. The transmitter room should not be cleaned with a broom,
but rather using a vacuum cleaner. The floor should be washed regularly every 6 month. The
detergent should be added in small quantities only to the water; no aggressive cleaning agents
should be used. Floor cleaning agents should be avoided, since these have the same effect as
a dielectric and encourage the development of static charges. If the floor covering is made of a
conductive material, then similarly only those cleaning agents expressly recommended by the
manufacturer of the floor covering should be used.

ILS Marker 413
Description and Operation Maintenance and Repair
The air filters of the ventilation resp. air conditioner should be checked from time to time in accorĆ
dance with the volume of dirt which accumulates at that particular location. The filters should be
replaced by new ones before they become clogged. If no new filters are available, the dirt may -
as an exceptional measure - be banged out of the old filter to permit it to be used again. Damaged
filters on the other hand should not be used again. In case of freezing of the air conditioner switch
it off and defrost it. Observe the manufacturers maintenance recommendations.
The separate battery box should be dusted once a year. Dirty parts should not be transferred from
the battery box to the transmitter room.

- Marker subrack/cabinet
Dusting of the subassemblies should only take place in conjunction with removal of a subassembly
when this becomes necessary in any case for some other purposes. Even then, subassemblies
should only be dusted if dust can be detected by means of a visual check. They should always
be dusted using a soft brush, and possible with the aid of a vacuum cleaner.

- Antenna
Inspect complete antenna, monitor dipole and the equipment installation for any damage caused
by corrosion, rodents, termites, or others. Air traffic control should be informed before the antenna
will be inspected. Normally the antenna is not radiating by this inspection (transmitter switched
off).

7.1.1.4 Documentation of System Data

The data recorded during the flight test is the only data which is binding for operation of a navigation
installation. It is advisable to check this data in accordance with the chart for periodically mainteĆ
nance.

7.1.2 Normal Maintenance


7.1.2.1 Replacing the Lithium Battery (LCSU/CSB)

To back up data in the non volatile RAM in case of a voltage drop the subassembly LCSU/CSB conĆ
tains a Lithium battery. Lithium batteries have an extended life time. The battery voltage is checked
by the BIT of the system. The battery is soldered to the pc board. The battery back up function is enĆ
abled via jumper set during first setup or before replacing the respective pc board. Always observe
the label on the battery. The Lithium battery has to be replaced by the same battery type. Other types
of lithium battery are not approved by Thales ATM.

WARNING

Do not recharge, disassemble, heat above 100 °C or incinerate the lithium cell. Do not
short circuit, or solder directly on the cell. Disregard of the norms regarding the use of
lithium batteries may cause risk of fire, explosion or leaking out of toxid liquid and gas.
Run-down batteries are objects that can pollute the environment and must be disposed
of with proper precautions.

Maintenance and Repair Description and Operation

CAUTION

Contents of the RAM will be lost when the jumper is opened which enables battery voltage
to the RAM device.

Replacing Lithium battery:


We recommend switching off the marker before the Lithium battery is replaced. This will ensure that
any interference resulting unintentionally from the replacement procedure will not affect the radiated
signal. A soldering iron with a grounded soldering tip should be used. A battery short-circuit via the
soldering iron for the duration of soldering is unlikely to harm the relatively high-impedance battery,
but should however be avoided wherever possible. The procedures is as follows:
- Back up the data of the marker being serviced (see Technical Manual ADRACS, Reference No.
83140 55324, section 2.5.2 and 2.5.2.5)
- Open front panel of Marker housing
- Remove jumper J21 on LCSU/CSB.

NOTE: The backup battery of the LCSU/CSB may be replaced without dismounting the LCSU/
CSB-Board. However, access and work may be easier when the CSB is dismounted.
- Re-tin the soldering tags of the new battery in order to ensure a good soldered connection.
- Unsolder the minus and plus pole of the old battery, and remove the battery from the pc board.
- Insert the new battery, and solder the minus and plus pole of the battery.
- Set jumper J21 on LCSU/CSB again.
- Re-enter all marker parameters when the battery has been resoldered.

7.1.2.2 Battery Maintenance

Startup, care and maintenance of the lead battery are described in chapter 7.4.

ILS Marker 413
Description and Operation Maintenance and Repair
7.2 FAULT LOCATION
7.2.1 General
Fault location in the ILS System (here: MARKER) can be executed with the PC and ADRACS.
You should print out all settings, BITE values and monitor values of the monitor and LCSU/CSB on
the finally set system that has reached operating temperature. This data consists of the reference valĆ
ues, a knowledge of which will substantially facilitate troubleshooting. These values are assumed for
the following troubleshooting procedure. If RF modules are replaced, the printout should be updated
because RF modules have greater tolerances. This log of the ACTUAL state is a basis for the troubleĆ
shooting procedure.

7.2.2 Fault Evaluation with PC and ADRACS

Any fault is stored in the system memory, which occurs in the installation and is acknowledged by
the internal BIT and which leads to a WARNING or ALARM indication. This report is available in the
configuration menu of the ADRACS program (see Technical Manual Reference No. 83140 55324):

- Move mouse cursor to field MONITOR or LCSU/CSB, a cursor more appears.


- Click twice for more information about monitor or LCSU/CSB. The ensuing BIT results are disĆ
played and can be interpreted or printed out.

7.2.2.1 Power Supply and Module Indicators


In addition to the BIT fault report ( see 7.2.2), the following fault location table lists typical faults, which
may occur in an Marker installation. The tables contain 5 columns: Step, Fault, A ,B, C.

The BIT fault report (see 7.2.2) indicates faulty operating voltages, so that the defective module
(AC/DC converter or DC/DC converter) can be defined and replaced. Before replacing the AC/DC
converters, check mains power supply. Before locating a fault, try to define roughly the defective funcĆ
tional group, i.e. power supply, antenna, monitor or LCSU/CSB. A first localization is done by evaluatĆ
ing the LED indicators on the various modules (see Fig. 7-3):

Maintenance and Repair Description and Operation

7.3 REPAIR
7.3.1 General
The repair is restricted to changing the marker unit itself, its plug-in cards (subassemblies) and the
cables.

NOTE: Subassemblies and components which are sent to the manufacturer for repair or returns
must be packed in a way that no damage of the parts could arise. It is recommended to
use the original packing, e.g. of the spare part, or a comparable packing in corresponding
performance to ensure a safe shipping of defective subassemblies or components.
Handling of subassemblies with electrostatically sensitive components see section 1.3.2.

CAUTION

Before changing the mains switch, the mains cable or the Marker equipment disconnect
the mains supply. When working on the opened equipment be careful not to touch live
parts. Before replacing an AC/DC-module the equipment must always be disconnected
from the mains.
After repair test the marker unit according to section 5.7.3. When changing the complete marker unit
perform an initial startup according to section 5.7.

7.3.2 Removal of Subassemblies


a) Before changing subassemblies and cables the voltage must always be switched off using the
mains switch and DC switch (PSS). Observe section 1.3.2 when handling subassemblies. It is necĆ
essary to swing open the front plate (Fig. 7-2/2) before starting repair. To do so turn the quick fixing
devices (Fig. 7-2/3) 90°. To remove a subassembly loosen the three fastening screws of the transĆ
portation bar (Fig. 7-3), remove the bar and pull out the subassembly.
b) Several of the subassemblies have DIP-FIX switches or jumpers on their printed circuit boards.
It is essential to check that the switches or jumpers on the new subassemblies are set to the same
positions as on the old subassemblies. Section 5.6.8 contains a list of the DIP-FIX switches and
jumpers.

7.3.3 Replacing EPROM


The EPROM should always be replaced by qualified personnel only. The following subassemblies
contain EPROM which may need to be replaced: CL-M, LCSU/CSB. The locations are shown in Figs.
5-17, 5-18 (EPROM), 7-3 (subassemblies).

CAUTION

Since the EPROM are electrostatically sensitive components, the following safety precauĆ
tions must always be observed (see also section 1.3.2): The person replacing the EPROM
should preferably not wear shoes with rubber or plastic soles, and should first eliminate
any static charges by touching the divice ground with both hands.

a) Switch off mains switch and PSS.
b) Release the CL-M with the lever mechanism and remove it from the slide-in chassis in the rack.
Lay the subassembly down on an electronically conductive surface (e.g. on the special packaging
provided). EPROM of the LCSU/CSB can be replaced without disassembling: open the front door
of the Marker 19'' subrack.
c) Remove the EPROM:
Identify the EPROM to be replaced by means of its inscription and note its orientation (notch on
one of the narrow sides). Lever the EPROM slowly out of the base by carefully applying a flat,
pointed object (e.g. a screwdriver) to the narrow sides alternately.
d) Fit the new EPROM into the empty base in the same position. If the EPROM is swapped from one
unit to another, determine the correct orientation by comparing the two units. Before fitting the
EPROM, check that all the pins are aligned exactly. Press the two rows of pins into the base one
at a time.
e) Reinstall CL-M and lock it in position.

f) Execute the following checks after switching on again:


- LED live lamp must light up (LCSU/CSB)
- all the settings must correspond to test reports.

7.4 SPECIFICATIONS FOR STARTUP, MAINTENANCE AND CARE
OF THE LEAD BATTERY IN NAVIGATION INSTALLATIONS
7.4.1 General

The sets of lead batteries in the navigation installations are normally supplied to countries in Europe
already filled and charged by the manufacturer. On site the batteries then merely need to be installed
and connected to the power supply unit of the navigation installation. Batteries supplied in a
non-filled state to their point of installation must be mounted, filled and charged there in accordance
with the handling specifications laid down by the manufacturer. The batteries can be supplied in a
precharged state either non-filled and dry or non-filled and non-dry (see 7.4.3.2 and 7.4.3.3). The
battery may not be removed from its transport packing until immediately prior to startup.

CAUTION

Maintenance-free batteries have to be set into operation within half a year after delivery
to prevent drawback in lifetime of battery.

The startup procedure comprises the following stages:

a) Installation on site, and connection of the cells to the cell connectors and the electrical installation;
b) Filling with accumulator acid;
c) Immediate subsequent charging or activation of the plates (see 7.4.3)
d) Immediate subsequent activation in standby parallel mode.

These instructions do not cover the installation work, but instead deal merely with filling and activation
using tools which, even in remote areas, are either available or easily obtainable; they moreover apply
only to batteries for which a rated acid density of 1.24 kg/l is specified by the manufacturer, e.g.
Gro E, iron-clad and block batteries, and not to starter batteries or batteries with a fixed electrolyte.
The aids required are as follows:

Accumulator acid The acid must have a particular density. If this value is incorrect, the mixture
should be made up of high-density sulphuric acid and specially purified
water (see 7.4.2.2).

1 Acid syringe with areometer


1 Thermometer
1 Acid jug (non-metal)
supplied with battery
1 Funnel (non-metal)
- Float acid level indicator
- Handling specifications

- Various resistors
- Single-wire cables (2.5... 6 mm@)
- Ammeter and voltmeter (accuracy <1 %).

Maintenance and Repair Description and Operation

7.4.2 Preliminary Operations


7.4.2.1 Accumulator Acid and Specially Purified Water

Diluted sulphuric acid and specially purified water are used for filling and topping up lead batteries.
The regulations specified in VDE 0510 (regulations for accumulators and battery installations),
according to which no components which may be harmful to the plates may be used, must be
conformed to. Particularly harmful substances are chlorine, which is present both in the water and
in the acid, and iron which is sometimes contained in the acid. These impurities can however easily
be evidenced. Only specially purified water, i.e. water which has been distilled or fully desalted, may
be used; it must moreover be clear, colorless and odorless

CAUTION

Boiled water, rainwater, well water, river water, tap water or condensation from machines,
heating systems etc. are unsuitable.

The sulphuric acid and the water should be preserved in glass or plastic containers, which must be
sealed and covered carefully. Dust and vapors which penetrate may contaminate originally pure liqĆ
uids.

7.4.2.2 Mixing Sulphuric Acid


If the accumulator acid does not have specified density, specially purified water should be mixed with
a high-density acid (mixed acid) in order to obtain the values shown in the chart (Fig. 7-4).

WARNING

When mixing high-density acid with water the acid must be added to the water in a thin
jet whilst stirring with a clean wooden rod. If the water is added to the acid, the latter will
splash dangerously.

Description and Operation Maintenance and Repair
Example for mixing accumulator acid:

100 l accumulator acid with a density of 1.24 kg/l is required. The mixing acid available has a density
of 1.71 kg/l. The intersection A on the right-hand side of the chart is obtained as follows:

The slope 1.71 (density of mixed acid) intersects the vertical 1.24 (nominal density of accumulator
acid). The horizontal through point A intersects the slope at 72 l (specified purified water) and the
vertical at 31 l (quantity of mixed acid) in the left-hand section of the chart. The two quantities must
then be mixed in order to obtain 100 l acid with a density of 1.24 kg/l. This chart is only valid for temĆ
peratures of +20 °C. For other operating temperatures see 7.4.2.3.

When purchasing mixed acid it may be that the quantity is specified in kilograms on the container.
The chart (Fig. 7-4) is however only valid for quantities specified in liters. Kilograms can be converted
to liters as follows:

Quantity in kg
Quantity in l =
Acid density in kg/l

7.4.2.3 Relationship between the Acid Density and the Temperature

The nominal acid density of fixed batteries is valid at an acid temperature of 20 °C. If the temperature
increases the density will be reduced by 0.0007 kg/l per °C; if the temperature falls it will be increased
accordingly. Thus if the temperature rises by 15 °C the density will be reduced by approx 0.01 kg/l;
if the temperature falls by 15 °C the density will be increased by approx. 0.01 kg/l. The chart (Fig. 7-5)
shows the acid densities for various temperatures in relation to a temperature of +20 °C.

It is forbidden to use naked flames or incandescent bodies in the vicinity of accumulators.


This is particularly dangerous during the charging procedure, since oxyhydrogen gas is
produced in the gassing area of the accumulator acid.
Caution should be observed when opening the inspection plugs. On no account should
salt crystals or other foreign bodies be allowed to penetrate the acid.
Caution should be observed when topping up with specially purified water and when meaĆ
suring the acid density. Remove splashes of liquid, or conductive layers might form, causĆ
ing creepage. Seal the inspection plugs again.
Maintenance-free batteries need not to be refilled. No acid density check is necessary.
Caution should be observed when mixing high-density acid with water. The acid should
be added to the water in a thin jet whilst stirring with a clean wooden rod. If water is added
to the acid, the latter will splash dangerously.
Splashes of acid should be neutralized and salts removed using a lukewarm soda soluĆ
tion (100 g soda to 1 l water).
Care should be taken to ensure that no soda solution penetrates the cells. After treating
with the soda solution, clean with clear water and wipe dry.
Sufficient ventilation should be provided for the battery compartment. The acid vapors are
aggressive; be careful of clothing.
Specially marked and stored test leads should be used for battery measurements on
account of the acid residues which may be present.

The following points should be observed in order to prevent false acid density measurements with
the areometer:

a) The areometer float should not stick to the side or hit the top, and should always be clean.

b) When the battery is charged or discharged a period of about 30 minutes should be waited
before commencing measurements, in order to allow time for the acid density between and
above the plates to become uniform.

c) If specially purified water is used for topping up, no measurements should be performed for
the next few hours.

d) If the temperatures should deviate substantially from the reference temperature of +20 °C, this
should be taken into consideration when performing measurements (the density decreases with
higher temperatures and increases with lower temperatures).

7.4.2.5 Filling the Batteries with Acid

A particular quantity of accumulator acid is required for each battery type; this quantity is specified
by the manufacturer or is defined by the cell levels (acid level indicator or max. marking on the cell
box). The tolerance of the accumulator acid density is ± 0.01 kg/l.The acid temperature should not
exceed +35 °C, since heat is developed internally following filling, and higher acid temperatures may
cause the maximum permitted battery temperature to be exceeded.
In hot climates with the associated high ambient temperatures it is particularly difficult to cool off the
batteries during the day. We therefore recommend slowly filling the batteries half full in such regions,
then filling them right up the next day after they have cooled off during the night.

NOTE: The battery should only be removed from its transport packaging immediately
prior to the startup (see also Section 7.4.1).

7.4.3 Startup

Initial charging or activation.

7.4.3.1 General

The plates are fully activated on initial charging; special rules and data which deviate from the stanĆ
dard values for battery operation and the charging procedure apply. If the initial charging procedure
is not performed in accordance with specifications, the plates will only be partly activated; coarse
sulfates will be produced, and the batteries will not reach their full capacity.It is only possible to elimiĆ
nate the damage by means of a time-consuming desulfating procedure in few cases.

As mentioned above in 7.4.1, the batteries may be supplied in a precharged state either non-filled
and dry or non-filled and non-dry. This is not apparent externally except from the color of the plates.
The positive plate of activated batteries has a brown coloring (Pb O2), whilst the negative plate is light
grey (Pb).

7.4.3.2 Dry Precharged Batteries

Dry precharged batteries are activated by the manufacturer. They can be started up simply by filling
the accumulator acid with the specified acid density. The battery can then be operated in the navigaĆ
tion installation without any further delay. This however applies only to brand new batteries, since
these batteries are extremely sensitive to climatic conditions.If dry precharged batteries are stored
for some time without being filled with acid, the plates will gradually become deactivated. This process
is accelerated in a moist or warm environment.They will be completely deactivated after about 6
month, and the battery must be treated and started up in almost the same way as a non-activated
battery. The initial charging procedure will be more or less long depending on the storage period and
the state of the plates.

7.4.3.3 Non-dry Precharged Batteries

These batteries have the longest initial charging period. These batteries can be determined by the
fact that the acid density drops substantially 1 to 2 hours after filling (density <1.15 kg/l), and/or the
acid temperature rises by a few degrees.

7.4.3.4 Initial Charging

WARNING

There is a particular risk during the charging procedure, since oxyhydrogen gas develops
in the gassing area of the battery acid. It is therefore forbidden to use naked flames or
incandescent bodies in the vicinity of accumulators. Sufficient ventilation should be proĆ
vided for the battery compartment. The acid vapors are aggressive, therefore care should
be taken of clothing.
The battery manufacturers specify various methods with setting and nominal data; the appropriate
instructions are contained in the handling specifications enclosed with each battery. A constant
current charge (I-characteristic) is used for the battery charged power supply in the navigation
installation.

The acid density and temperature must be measured and noted once an hour during the charging
procedure at every 6th or 3rd cell (test cells). The same applies to the battery voltage, which should
be measured at the battery poles. For voltage measurements see Chapter 7.4.1).The duration of the
charging procedure depends on the state of the plates, and should be at least 6 hours.The crucial
factor for determining the end of the charging procedure is that the battery voltage and the acid
density no longer rise a test interval of 2 hours, and that the nominal values are reached.If the acid
density and the battery voltage do not reach their nominal despite absolute conformance with the
charging specifications, the charging procedure must be continued with the same charging data for
a further 10 hours.If the acid density still does not reach its nominal value, the acid must be neuĆ
tralized. If the density is too low, higher-density acid (mixed acid) must be added; if the acid density
is too high, specially purified water must be used for topping up. The temperature and acid level must
be taken into consideration when measuring the density, in other words the nominal acid density is
valid when the acid level indicator is at max.

If water is lost during the charging procedure on account of gassing, the acid must be topped up
beforehand with specially purified water.If it is necessary to correct the acid density or acid level, the
battery must be topped up beforehand with specially purified water.If it is necessary to correct the acid
density or acid level, the battery must be charged again afterwards with the same charging values
(approx. 1 hour) in order to make sure it is properly mixed. This is ensured by means of the gassing
which results.The acid temperature must be monitored during the charging procedure. This is particuĆ
larly important in case of high ambient temperatures. The acid temperature may not exceed 55 °C.
If a temperature of 50 °C is reached, a cooling period should be allowed until the temperature has
dropped to 35 °C again.

The battery is ready for service when the nominal values are reached and each cell has the correct
acid level (max. marking of acid level indicator). Finally the outside of the battery should be cleaned
with water to remove acid and dirt. The battery should then be installed immediately in the navigation
installation, and operated in standby parallel mode. This procedure ensures that the battery is always
charged, but that it is not operated close to the gassing area. The charge characteristic of the AC/
DC-53 (current/voltage characteristic or I-U characteristic) ensures that the limit value specified by
the battery manufacturer are conformed to, including subsequently during charging and discharging.
NOTE: Each battery cell/battery must have the same charge or discharge state on account of the
series connection.
The following table summarizes the procedure.

7.4.3.5.1 Maintenance Accessories and Check Area
The accessories below are required for monitoring and maintenance of the battery.

1 Acid syringe with areometer


1 Acid jug
non-metal
1 Funnel
1 Container with specially purified water
Various cleaning agents (acid-resistant Vaseline, soda, cotton waste).

The maintenance chapters below refer to the check area under observation. The checks and related
operations should be performed regularly every 2 to 3 months. The Basic Rules for Handling Batteries
(see 7.4.2.4) should be observed.

Maintenance and Repair Description and Operation

7.4.3.6 Keeping the Lead Battery Clean

The battery box with batteries, boxes, terminals and connections should be kept clean and dry. When
performing the regular check pay special attention to the poles and cell connections, since these are
particular subject to acid aggression and likely to form salt crystals, in particular at the plus pole. The
poles and cell connections should be greased slightly with an acid-resistant Vaseline following
cleaning.

7.4.3.7 Measuring the Acid Density (not for maintenance-free batteries)

The acid density should be measured using the areometer. False measurements can be avoided by
observing the rules see 7.4.2.4. The density of accumulator acid is 1.24 ± 0.01 kg/l at 20 °C when
the battery is charged. If the temperature deviates substantially from the reference temperature of
20 °C, this should be taken into account when measurements are performed.

7.4.3.8 Topping Up the Cells (not for maintenance-free batteries)

The cells should be topped up in good time with specially purified water. A visual check of the cells
should be done approx. every 2 to 3 month. An acid level indicator with two markings 10 mm apart
is incorporated in one of the cells for determining the nominal acid level. If this indicator is missing,
the cells should be topped up 15 mm above the protective plates. It is not always possible to obtain
specially purified or desalinated water of the required quality at the point of installation. In countries
where the water quality is inadequate the specially purified or fully desalinated water in stock should
be checked before use in accordance with the handling specifications of the battery manufacturer
(test chemicals supplied if required). If the purified water does not meet the specifications, it must be
post-treated (ion exchanger or distilling apparatus - supplied on request) or suitable water must
be obtained.

CAUTION

The battery guarantee is only valid if the accumulator acid and water have the necessary
degree of purity.

7.4.3.9 Measuring the Cell Voltage

The nominal voltage of the lead cells has been fixed at 2.0 V. The no-load voltage is 2.04 to 2.1 V
depending on the acid density. The discharge voltage is dependent on the discharge current. The
higher the discharge current, the lower will be the cell voltage and vice versa. Under normal operating
conditions with trickle charging the cell voltage is 2.25 V. In case of a failure or disconnection of the
220 or 115 V mains voltage resulting in discharging of the batteries, the cell voltage is 2.1...1.75 V after
approx. 5 minutes up to a discharging time of approx. 4 hours. The cell voltage should not fall below
1.75 V during discharging. This is ensured by the supervision in the NAV installation. The cell voltage
can be measured either as described in 7.4.1 or using a multimeter. Only special test leads provided
exclusively for battery measurements should be used, however, on account of the acid residues
which may be present at the battery poles. It is sufficient to check the voltage of all cells at the charge
current every 2 to 3 month.
