STC APPROVALS

Presently no TSO standard exists for airborne FM transceivers. To make it easier for installation

agencies to provide their customers with an approved installation supported by an effective

Airworthiness Approval, Technisonic has secured Supplemental Type Certificate (STC) approvals

(both US and Canadian) on it’s airborne FM products for many helicopters currently being delivered

in the US and Canada, as well as anumber of single engine fixed wing aircraft. The DO-160C test

data, referenced below, are also on file and available from Technisonic to support approval

requirements in airframes for which Technisonic does not possess an STC.

Approved aircraft types are listed in the attachments to the formal STC documents. These STC’s are

the exclusive property of Technisonic Industries Ltd., and require the written authority of Technisonic

for their use. To assist Factory Authorized Technisonic Dealers in the certification process, we have

placed copies of our Canadian and US STC’s on our web site along with aletter of authorization for

their use. These documents may be downloaded and used as support for the technical submission to

FAA or Transport Canada. Only factory authorized dealers/installers are permitted to download and

make use of these documents on behalf of their customers (end users) in support of regulatory

agency approval. please refer to the Technisonic web site www.til.ca for the latest issue of available

STC’s and letter of authorization for use.

SECTION 1

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

1.1 Introduction

This publication provides operating and installation information on the TDFM-136, Digital

Transceiver manufactured by Technisonic Industries Limited. The TDFM-136 is Project 25

(P25), Phase 1 compliant. The unit offers digital or conventional analog FM

communications over an extended frequency range with selectable channel spacing and is

intended for use (in the U.S.) only by government agencies or contractors thereto, who

have obtained licensing for operation in the 136-150 MHz portion of the band. If the TDFM-

136 transceiver is used in CANADA, operation is restricted to the following sub bands: 138-

144, 148-148.99, 149.005-150.005 and 150.05-174 MHz. Furthermore the frequency agile

transceiver is restricted to airborne use and must not be operated as a base station in

Canada.

1.2 Description

The TDFM-136, Transceiver is afrequency agile, fully synthesized airborne transceiver

capable of operating in the 136.000 MHz to 174.000 MHz frequency range in 2.5kHz

increments with either 25 kHz analog, 12.5 kHz analog channel spacing and P25, 12.5 KHz

digital modulation on a channel by channel basis. The Transceiver can operate without

restriction on any split frequency pair in the band and also incorporates atwo channel

synthesized guard receiver.

The TDFM-136 Transceiver provides 200 operator accessible memory positions. Each of

which is capable of storing Scan List membership information, up to nine (9) character

alphanumeric identifier, and Operating Mode information. In addition each memory position

contains information for both transmit and receive including: frequency, CTCSS tone, DCS

(DPL) code, P25 TalkGroup, and P25 Network Access Code (NAC) information.

Channel operating parameters, including frequency and other related data, are presented

on a 48 character, two line LED matrix display. Data entry and function control takes place

via a 12 button keypad.

1.3 Purpose of Equipment

The TDFM-136, Digital VHF/FM Transceiver is designed to provide secondary airborne

communications to facilitate operations which are typically performed in alow altitude

environment. The transmitter section of this unit has a minimum of 8watts and does not

exceed 10 watts output power, which may be reduced by afront panel switch to 1watt, in

order to reduce interference to land based systems.

1.4 Model Variation

There are four variations of the Model TDFM-136 Transceiver. All units offer identical

features and performance except for the following differences:

TDFM-136, P/N 981087-1 GREEN display and 28 Volt back lighting.

TDFM-136, P/N 981087-1 (5V) GREEN display and 5 Volt back lighting.

TDFM-136, P/N 981087-2 RED display and 28 Volt back ligting.

TDFM-136, P/N 981087-2 (5V) RED display and 5 Volt back lighting.

Both P/N's 981087-1 and 981087-2 are always provided with 28 Volt back lighting unless a

specific request is made for 5 Volt AC operation.
