  • Page 4: Introduction

    Microair T2000ADSB Transponder. IMPORTANT NOTE The T2000ADSB must be installed and tested by a suitably qualified and authorised Avionics mechanic and all structural changes, such as the GPS antenna installation, must be approved by a suitably qualified and authorised engineer or the aircrafts manufacturer.
  • Page 5: Panel Mounting

    A depth of 200mm (8 inches) is recommended to accommodate the transponder and electrical connectors. The T2000ADSB weighs only 685g (24oz). The four M4 x 12mm machine screws are sufficient to support the transponder. No rear support is required unless the panel structure itself is too weak to support the load.

    T2000ADSB via a DB25 connector (refer wiring diagram). The power for blind mode C encoders can be supplied from the T2000ADSB and is equal to the aircraft supply voltage. This power is switched when the T2000ADSB is turned on.
  • Page 7: Transponder Antenna & Coax Cable

    4.3 Coaxial Cable The T2000ADSB allows for 2dB cable loss from the unit to the antenna. The installer should consider carefully what type of coaxial cable is to be used, so that this loss limit is not exceeded. The cable should be terminated with a crimped BNC connector rated for 200Wpep and 2GHz such as the Amphenol 112514.
  • Page 8 300mm (1ft) be ordered (available at microair.aero). If shortening a coax cable pay particular attention to the termination. A crimped connector rated for operation up to 2GHz and 200W is required such as the 112514 BNC Connector. T2000ADSB Installation Manual 01R2 Page 8 of 33 Mar 2023...
  • Page 9: Gps Antenna

    The T2000ADSB requires the installation of a GPS Antenna to receive a satellite GPS signal required by the unit. The GPS Antenna is connected to the T2000ADSB on the back of the unit via TNC connection. Two types of GPS Antennas are recommended for operation with the T2000ADSB transponder.
  • Page 10: Wiring

    The T2000ADSB must be installed with a wiring harness which meets the following requirements. 6.1 General Wiring The T2000ADSB is to be powered from the aircraft supply, via the avionics master and fuse/circuit breaker with a maximum 5 amp rating (3 amp minimum).
  • Page 11: Audio Beep

    Installation Manual 6.2 Audio Beep The T2000ADSB beep function when set to ON, will emit a beep tone on this line. Audio beep should be taken to the Auxiliary input of the aircraft’s radio or Audio Panel. When connecting the beep function to the Microair M760 transceiver, simply join the beep line directly to any headphone line (orange wire in factory supplied harness).
  • Page 12: Initialisation And Setup

    7.0 INITIALISATION AND SETUP On initial power up the T2000ADSB will enter Program Mode to allow the ICAO Code (sometimes call the Mode S code) to be set. It is important that the Emitter Category and Aircraft ID are also set.
