9100 transceiver. There are receive audio, mic audio and PTT lines for each band as well as a set of lines combining both bands. The TDFM-9100 can be wired such that band selection can be made on the audio panel. Two positions need to be available on the audio panel. Otherwise the TDFM-9100 can be wired into one position of the audio panel where band selection and audio monitoring is done on the TDFM-9100 front panel.
Connect to aircraft panel dimming bus. The transceiver is capable of supporting 28 VAC/DC or 5 VAC/DC backlighting circuits. Select 28 volts or 5 volts via the configuration menu (see section 2.17). No damage will occur if the wrong setting is selected. TDFM-9100 Installation Instructions TiL 13RE483A...

When single band modules are installed, a single band antenna should be used. If the TDFM-9100 has more than one single band module installed that are on different frequency bands, a single multiband antenna with separate connectors or a multiband antenna with a coupler can be used if the frequencies in use are not multiples of each other.
2.22 POST INSTALLATION EMI TEST PURPOSE The purpose of this test is to identify any interference that the TDFM-9100 transceiver may cause with existing aircraft systems. TEST CONDITIONS The TDFM-9100 transceiver should be installed and function tested. The antenna VSWR should be checked.

For example it is permissible for a VFR certified GPS to lose navigation capability while the TDFM-9100 unit is transmitting, providing that it recovers properly and promptly, but it is not permissible for an IFR Approach certified GPS to be affected in the same way.

Determine if the image frequency for the VHF Comm falls within the range of the TDFM-9100. If so, select a set of frequencies that will cause the TDFM-9100 to be set as close as possible to the image frequency. Any one of the many possible sets will suffice. Record those values in the spaces provided in the following chart.
Page 25
Determine if the image frequency for the VOR/ILS Nav falls within the range of the TDFM-9100. If so, select two sets of frequencies that will cause the TDFM-9100 to be set as close as possible to the image frequency. Choose one set in the localizer frequency range and one in the VOR frequency range.

With a portable glide slope generator, provide enough signal to firmly activate the indicator needle and hide all flags. Increase the signal level by 3 dB. Modulate the TDFM-9100 transmitter on the following frequencies for at least 20 seconds. Observe the Glide Slope displays. Look for any movement of flags or needles on the navigation display.
