600/6000 series transceiver installation. DESCRIPTION The AMS-6000 is an audio mode selector box that is designed to work in conjunction with the Technisonic TDFM-600/6000 series airborne FM transceivers. The AMS-6000 will combine the audio and key lines from up to three separate RF Bands in a TDFM-6000 and permit the TDFM-6000 to operate as a single transceiver from one position on an audio controller.
Operating Temperature Range: -30°C to +70°C Power Requirement: Voltage: 28.0 Vdc, ± 15% Current: 2 amps max. Back Lighting: 28 Volts or 5 Volts Display Colour: NVG Compatible Green AMS-6000 Installation and Operating Instructions TiL 03RE325 Rev n/c Issue 5...
SECTION 2 – OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS FEATURES The AMS-6000 provides the following features to a TDFM-600/6000 Transceiver installation: 1. The ability to connect a TDFM-600/6000 transceiver to a single audio panel position. 2. Displays squelch indication for each band in the TDFM-600/6000 simultaneously.
2.2.1 Combined Mode: This means that the AMS-6000 is being used to interface the two or three bands on a TDFM-600/6000 to a single position on an audio controller. In the combined mode configuration the AMS-6000 acts like a secondary audio controller expanding the transmit/receive capabilities of the aircraft’s main audio panel.
REPEAT button and the left RX button while powering up the unit. PROGRAMMING CONNECTOR (Mini-DIN) On the front panel of the AMS-6000 is an 8 pin mini DIN socket which provides access to the TDFM-600/6000 programming lines. Through this connector, channel information can be uploaded or downloaded to the transceiver.

WIRING INSTRUCTIONS The AMS-6000 can be installed and operated in one of two modes. Which mode to use will be determined by how many positions are available on the existing audio panel. If there are enough positions for number of bands in the TDFM-600/6000 (either two or three) then it is recommended to wire the unit in separate mode.
The ‘Y’ harness is used to connect the TDFM- 600/6000 transceiver to the AMS-6000 as well as to the aircraft audio system. The aircraft harness shall be wired as if it were to be plugged directly into the TDFM-600/6000 but instead will be plugged into the third connector on the ‘Y’...

Connect to the aircraft dimmer bus. Can be driven by 5 volts or 28 volts selectable by the internal jumper JP1. No damage will occur to the AMS-6000 if the wrong jumper selection is made, however this line is also routed to the TDFM-600/6000 via the ‘Y’ harness which is voltage sensitive.

FIGURE 3-4 Wiring Diagram (Separate Mode) HARDWARE INSTALLATION The AMS-6000 is designed to mount in a standard 5.75" DZUS rail rack. See Figure 3-4 for physical dimensions. The ‘Y’ harness is of sufficient length to allow the AMS-6000 to be mounted directly above or below the TDFM-600/6000 series Transceiver.
