Page 52: Disclaimer
3.16 DISCLAIMER The Ryan TCAD has been meticulously designed to provide warning of nearby traffic. As with any device, there are significant limitations. The TCAD can only detect signals if they are received. There are many impediments that prevent the signal from being received, including the lack of interrogation signals, and the relative signal patterns of the transmitting and receiving antennas. -
Page 53: General
This test may be performed when TCAD is isolated from the aircraft. The test can also be performed in the aircraft. If the test is performed in the aircraft, disregard the Setup instructions. Ryan TCAD 9900 Series Page 4-1 Revision 4 - December 17,1998... - Page 54 Depress STD. The indicator for STD mode will replace the “U”. Depress MUTE twice.

Page 55: Ramp Test
Steps A. through D. can be conducted while flying. Perform a complete encoder correlation and transponder test in accordance with the equipment manufacturer's instructions, to verify proper operation of the encoder and transponder with TCAD operating. Ryan TCAD 9900 Series Page 4-3 Revision 4 - December 17,1998... - Page 56 Some signal attenuation (range variation) may occur when using the bottom antenna only. Verify TCAD performance per subparagraph 4.4.3C. Reconnect top antenna. Verify traffic is displayed per subparagraph 4.4.3C. Ryan TCAD 9900 Series Page 4-4 Revision 4 - December 17,1998...

Page 57: Interference Check
Pay special attention to the DME and select different frequencies to verify there is no interference. The frequencies from 109.2 to 115.2 are especially important and should be specifically checked. Ryan TCAD 9900 Series Page 4-5 Revision 4 - December 17,1998... - Page 58 Observe any other anomaly in other radios such as the ADF, the Marker Beacon, the Transponder, GPS navigation equipment, weather detection, autopilot and the DME when applying power to the Model 9900.

The common line should not be diode isolated, and should be the same potential as the encoder. D1 and D2 are not altitude lines, and should not be connected. Ryan TCAD 9900 Series Page 6-2 Revision 4 - December 17,1998...
- Page 65 If the DME causes the transponder to transmit often, there is much less time available for TCAD to acquire data. To assure no interference from the DME, always connect DME suppression. Ryan TCAD 9900 Series Page 6-3 Revision 4 - December 17,1998...

Check the primary source of the audio noise. Reduce the noise from this source as required. If the problem persists, shield the encoder lines and the audio line. Normally the Ryan TCAD 9900 Series Page 6-5 Revision 4 - December 17,1998... - Page 68 Sometimes grounding at both ends is the most effective arrangement. If audio interference is still a problem, contact the factory. -End- Ryan TCAD 9900 Series Page 6-6 Revision 4 - December 17,1998...
