10 volts in a TY96, or 18 volts in a TY97. 3.5 Installation Approval The conditions and tests required for the TSO approval of the TY96 and TY97 VHF radios are minimum performance standards. It is the responsibility of those installing this VHF radio on or within a specific type or class of aircraft to determine that the aircraft operating conditions are within the TSO standards.
TY96/97 VHF Radio Installation Manual 29 July 2016 01238-00 Issue AD 4. Unit and Accessories supplied 4.1 TY96 VHF radio Items The TY96 VHF radio includes the following items: Unit Description Part Number TY96 VHF Radio 01226-00-01 TY96/TY97 Installation Kit...
Additional items you will require, but which are not in the TY96/TY97 package, include: Antenna and fixing hardware. The TY96 or TY97 are compatible with any standard 50 ohm vertically polarised antenna with a VSWR better than 2.5:1. ...
To justify your claim, save the original shipping container and all packaging materials. 5.2 Installation Overview The TY96/TY97 VHF Radio must be mounted rigidly in the aircraft panel. The following installation procedure should be followed, remembering to allow adequate space for installation of cables and connectors.
5.4 Electrical Connections The TY96 has single 25 way D-type connector which is used for all the data and audio signals. A single coaxial BNC is used to connect the antenna.
Antenna 5.4.2 D Connector Crimp Terminals The 25 way connector supplied with the TY96 installation kit are MIL standard versions of the popular sub miniature D type connector family, and use individual crimp terminals and a receptacle. The MIL specification for this family of connectors is MIL-C-24308. We supply crimp terminals because these are more reliable than soldered connections, and are easier to assemble in-situ in an aircraft, where soldering is impractical.
5.4.5 Mono Wiring Considerations The TY96 audio wiring can be connected to suit a mono installation. To do this, you must short the left and right signal wires together at the TY96 end of the loom. This will have the effect of placing all audio in the centre of the connected headphones.

The cable shield should be connected to ground at the TY96 end only. Do not connect the shield at both ends of the cable to avoid a ground loop which can increase interference effects.
5.4.7 Example Wire Harness Below is a typical example of the TY96 wire connections, shown without the D-Sub backshell. Wire harness viewed from top Wire harness viewed from bottom Signal Signal...
The antenna cable should be terminated with BNC type male connector 5.5.3 BNC Connection Feed the supplied blind mate BNC connector to the TY96 mounting tray back plate and attach the washer combination in the following order: Wave washer (p/n 00317-00).
5.6.2 Headphone Outputs The TY96 can drive two sets of headphones. The output is stereo and is intended for headsets of 150 to 600 ohm impedance. The radio also works correctly when a mono headset is plugged into a stereo socket, or can be wired for mono headphones sockets.
4 volts. 5.6.13 Power Input The TY96 power supply can be 11-33 volts DC; no voltage adjustment is required. Use a 5 Amp circuit breaker for power supply protection to the TY96. The TY97 requires 22-33 volts DC; again use a 5 amp circuit breaker.
TY96/97 VHF Radio Installation Manual 29 July 2016 01238-00 Issue AD 6. Installation Setup and Test 6.1 Initial Power On The TC90 will display a splash screen when the radio is first switched on. The splash screen shows the software versions currently loaded and what model of radio is connected.
Issue AD 6.2.5 Frequency Step Size The TY96/TY97 is capable of operating in both an 8.33 kHz and 25 kHz environment. If 8.33 kHz operation is not required, the 8.33 kHz channels can be disabled to simplify the tuning operation.
TY96/97 VHF Radio Installation Manual 29 July 2016 01238-00 Issue AD necessary to adjust the darkest setting of the backlight to best match other equipment and to improve the cockpit appearance at night. Note – it is only practical to do this in pitch darkness, since that is the in-flight environment that you are trying to reproduce.
Interference check. Check the radio with other avionics and electrical equipment on the aircraft operating. Check at low, mid and high radio frequencies. There should be no significant interference on reception, and when the TY96/TY97 transmits there should be no adverse effect on any other equipment.
The Flip-flop button swaps the frequency in the standby display at the right of the screen, into the active position, and moves the active frequency to the standby position. 8.6 MON Button The TY96/TY97 includes a dual-frequency listen feature; pressing the MON button toggles this feature on and off. ______________________...
8.11 General Low Temperature Operation The TY96/TY97 is certified to operate correctly down to -20°C, but at low temperatures the controller display may be impaired. On a cold day you may need to wait for the cockpit to warm up to ensure normal operation.
TY96/97 VHF Radio Installation Manual 29 July 2016 01238-00 Issue AD Some FAULT indications can be recovered by switching the VHF radio off and back on again, although in all cases a FAULT code implies that there is a fault with the VHF radio or the installation.
Issue AD 9. Continued Airworthiness Other than for periodic functional checks required by the regulations, the TY96/TY97 VHF radio has been designed and manufactured to allow “on condition maintenance”. This means that there are no periodic service requirements necessary to maintain continued airworthiness, and no maintenance is required until the equipment does not properly perform its intended function.
