Issue 1.6 1. Preface 1.1 Purpose To document the minor modification to replace a Mode A/C transponder with a Trig Avionics TT31 Mode S transponder. 1.2 Scope This minor modification applies to unpressurised single engine piston aeroplanes with fixed landing gear and 14 Volt or 28 Volt DC electrical systems, having an existing certified Mode A/C transponder installation, and an existing altitude encoder.

Issue 1.6 2. Introduction The TT31 Mode S panel mount transponder is an ED-73B Class 1 compliant Mode S level 2 datalink transponder, with support for extended squitter, which also meets the relevant environmental requirements of ED-14D. The TT31 meets the European requirements for Mode S Elementary Surveillance and is certified to ETSO 2C112b.
The TT31 is certified by EASA to ETSO 2C112b under ETSOA EASA.21O.643. 3.4.2 Deviations A single deviation is noted on the DDP for the TT31 which affects the behaviour of the transponder when recovering from All-Call interrogations which have been locked out. This deviation has negligible effect on this installation.

Induced Signal Category A Equipment intended for operation where Susceptibility interference-free operation is desirable. RF Susceptibility Category T Specified in the HIRF rules; representative of the internal EMI environment from aircraft equipment.
28 Volt aircraft with a KT76A it is good practice to replace the KT76A tray with a Trig TT31 tray, and install a connector – even if it is empty – in the TT31 tray secondary connector position.
4.4.1 Verify Circuit Breaker Status Trace and identify the existing transponder circuit breaker. Verify that the circuit breaker is in satisfactory condition and is of the correct type and rating. The circuit breaker for the TT31 should rated between 3 Amps and 5 Amps.
The voltage reduction typically uses a resistive dropper attached to the firewall or other metal aircraft structure. Remove or bypass the resistive dropper; the power supply to the TT31 must come directly from the 28V aircraft supply.
Pin N – the lower left pin when viewed from the front – is not normally used in a KT76A or KT78A installation and should be empty. Pin N is used for bench testing of the TT31 and MUST NOT be connected in the aircraft –...

Capability Report, Pressure Altitude With the exception of Pressure Altitude all these and Flight Status (including for the avoidance of doubt, the Flight Status requirement) are provided directly by the TT31 transponder. Pressure Altitude compliance depends on the performance of the altitude encoder.
