The units are shipped set to operate on 28 Volt back lighting. Equipment can be set to operate on 5V back lighting by using the software based configuration menu. See Section 2.17 Configuration Menu in the TDFM-9000 Operating Instructions available at www.til.ca. Damage will not occur if the incorrect voltage is applied.

When single band modules are installed, a single band antenna should be used. If the TDFM-9000 has more than one single band module installed that are on different frequency bands, a single multiband antenna with separate connectors or a multiband antenna with a coupler can be used if the frequencies in use are not multiples of each other.

For example, it is permissible for a VFR certified GPS to lose navigation capability while the TDFM-9000 unit is transmitting, providing that it recovers properly and promptly, but it is not permissible for an IFR Approach certified GPS to be affected in the same way.

Determine if the image frequency for the VHF Comm falls within the range of the TDFM- 9000. If so, select a set of frequencies that will cause the TDFM-9000 to be set as close as possible to the image frequency. Any one of the many possible sets will suffice.
Page 28
Determine if the image frequency for the VOR/ILS Nav falls within the range of the TDFM- 9000. If so, select two sets of frequencies that will cause the TDFM-9000 to be set as close as possible to the image frequency. Choose one set in the localizer frequency range and one in the VOR frequency range.

ILS to be used. Divide the glide slope frequency by 2 and program into the TDFM-9000. Fly the aircraft to intercept the localizer and glide slope (both needles centered) at 26 nm from the runway. Transmit on the TDFM-9000 for 10 seconds and watch for any deflections or flags.
