4.7.7 Traffic Sensor Wiring

The MFD supports a number of different traffic sensors. Be sure to follow the instructions for the
specific traffic sensor installed on the aircraft.
●
TAS (L-3 SkyWatch: SKY497, TRC497 and TRC899)—Connect data and TTL control lines and
configure as shown in Appendix L: Wiring Diagram – Traffic Sensors. Use shielded wiring and
terminate as shown.
If using a TRC 497, ensure the software revision is 1.6 or later.
Note:
●
TAS/IHAS (Avidyne TAS600 Series, Bendix/King Honeywell: KTA 870)—Connect data lines and
configure as shown in Appendix L: Wiring Diagram – Traffic Sensors. Use shielded wiring and
terminate as shown.
●
TCAD (Avidyne 9900BX)—Connect aircraft power to the Avidyne TCAD sensor as described in
the Avidyne TAS600 Installation manual. Connect and configure as shown in Appendix L: Wiring
Diagram – Traffic Sensors. Use shielded wiring and terminate as shown.
The TCAD 9900BX is a TAS-type active device. Under Sensor, you can select either TCAD or
Note:
TAS. However, the EX5000 stores this configuration as a TAS sensor. This does not affect the
way the EX5000 receives or displays the traffic information.
Ensure the 9900BX software revision is 1.07 or
Note:
● TIS (Garmin: GTX-330, GTX-330D)—Ensure the Garmin software revision is 3.03 or
Connect data lines and configure as shown in Appendix L: Wiring Diagram – Traffic Sensors. Use
shielded wiring and terminate as shown.
Wire power to the Garmin GTX -330 transponder as directed in the Garmin Installation Manual.
The MFD does not provide power to the GTX sensor. TIS uses an ARINC 429 data connection
Note:
between the transponder and the MFD. Make this connection after consulting the wiring
diagrams in the appendix of this document and the GTX-330 installation manual.

4.7.8 TAWS Wiring

(Honeywell: KGP 560) – Ensure the Honeywell KGP 560 has part number 965-1198-005. Connect as
shown in Appendix M: Wiring Diagram – TAWS.
The EGPWS software must support KC Picture Bus (KCPB) Phase 2. See the Honeywell EGPWS
documentation for applicable software configurations. If the EGPWS interface is operating properly,
there will be no system status messages.

4.7.9 Map Configuration

Wiring for Map can be done in a number of different ways, depending on the aircraft configuration and
options. After you determine the appropriate configuration

The EX5000 can receive heading directly from an installed Avidyne Entegra EXP5000 PFD via an
ARINC 429 or an RS-232 bus.
