Revision: 1.0b 4 19 DEC 2011

Preface

Many thanks for purchasing the TRX-2000 traffic monitor.

The TRX-2000 is a panel mounted system combining a high performance ADS-B receiver and a color

LCD for displaying the traffic situation. It has been designed either to be connected to an external

FLARM(R) or comes with an integral FLARM(R) module. The system provides interfaces for connecting

two external Displays (CDTI) and a GPS interface to be connected to a Mode-S transponder (i.e.

Garrecht Avionik VT-01, VT-02, VT-2000) with ADS-B out capability.

To avoid malfunction, reading and understanding of all chapters of this manual is required.

Limitations of the system are described in the chapter „System Limitations”

A detailed data port specification is described in the “TRX Data Port Specifications” manual, which is

available on request from the manufacturer.

New releases of manuals or firmware udpates are published on the manufacturers website

www.garrecht.com

Your feedback or suggestions for improving the system are welcome. Please contact us via email:

info@garrecht.com

This manual provides all information, that is required for proper installation and safe operation.

For more information and addtional support, please contact your TRX-2000 dealer. ´

To avoid damage, please do not open the system housing.

The following symbols and terms are used in this manual:

Warning

Warning statements identify conditions or practices that could result in

injury or loss of life

Caution

Caution statements identify conditions or practices that could result in

damage of this product or other property.

Important note:

Important Information about integral FLARM® module

The TRX-2000 can be equipped with a FLARM® module optionally. FLARM is a very popular collision

avoidance system for general aviation and gliders, which is installed in over 17.000 aircraft worldwide.

FLARM® features at a glance:

•Situational awareness display. Collision warning (audible and visible) if other aircraft is also

FLARM® equipped.

•Obstacle warnings

•Intelligent trajectory prediction, also under unconventional conditions (i.e. thermaling gliders) to

reduce pseudo warnings

•Typicial range: 4-8 km

•Operating in free ISM Band

Detailed information about the FLARM® system can be obtained under

www.flarm.com

Mandatory updates are required to improve the whole FLARM® network without respecting downward

compatibility. The aviation typical periodic maintenance has been extended to electronic systems.

The expiry date of the current firmware is Feb. 28 2015

Detailed information about the udpate process can be downloaded from

www.garrecht.com

All required files are provided via this website.

Please do not send the device to the manufacturer

for firmware updates!!

To keep all FLARM®

up to date and to improve the system,

mandatory updates are required from time to time (every 3 to 5 years).

If your TRX-

2000 is FLARM® equipped, these updates are mandatory

in order to keep your FLARM® alive.

After the expiration date, FLARM(R) stops working.

1. Principles

1.1. General

Automatic Dependent Surveillance – Broadcast is a modern ATC system for broadcast aircraft

position data. Transponders which are connected to a GPS system transmit her own position and other

flight data, like call sign, Mode-S address, speed and altitude as well as track and vertical speed. The

transponder transmits these data periodically – typically once per second – like a radio station

(Broadcast).

TRX-2000 contains a sensitive 1090 MHz receivers with complex signal processing unit. Transponder

signals broadcasted by other aircraft are received, processed and decoded.

Data from a connected or integral FLARM® will be extended by the data received from the TRX-2000

ADS-B receiver and indicated on the system LCD display.

To enhance display capability, traffic data will be provided via two interfaces for connecting external

display devices. GPS data are provided on a dedicated port.

The presence of transponder equipped aircraft not broadcasting ADS-B output will be detected and

indicated on the system display as a non directed target.

It is not essential to connect the TRX-1090 to a transponder. The system comes with its own 1090 Mhz

receiver. To operate a TRX-1090, no transponder installation is required.

The TRX-1090 provides GPS data received from the FLARM via a dedicated port to supply an ADS-B

out capable Mode-S transponder. (e.g. Garrecht Avionic VT-01, VT-02). This device broadcasts the

current position message every secound - the message can be received by ADS-B receivers installed in

other aircraft, as well as with receivers installed on ground.

The schematic below shows the basics of a TRX-1090 installation

Garrecht Avionik GmbH TRX-2000 ADS-B Traffic Monitor User Manual

Revision: 1.0b 8 19 DEC 2011

System setup and configuration needs to performed using a PC and the TRX-Tool. The unit needs to

be connected to the USB port of your PC. Power will be supplied via the USB port.

Before the first time connection of the TRX

1090 to your PC , the TRX

Tool needs to be installed properly!

In some cases, the output power of the PC USB port might be insufficient

for powering the TRX-2000 and the system must be powered via an

external power supply.

1.2. Output of position data and warnings

The TRX-2000 provides collision warnings and warnings to prevent dangerous situations

1.2.1. Position data:

The TRX-2000 determines position data of other aircraft and provides position data to the system LCD

or connected displays, if the position is within the configured horizontal and vertical range.

Garrecht Avionik GmbH TRX-2000 ADS-B Traffic Monitor User Manual

Revision: 1.0b 10 19 DEC 2011

1.2.2. Warnings:

The TRX-2000 warnings focus on different situations:

1. Entering the protection volume (ADS-B targets)

The protection volume is defined as a cylindric volume around the own position. Radius and height of

the Cylinder can be configured using the TRX-Tool. The TRX-2000 generates a warning, if an aircraft

violates the defined protection volume (if falling below the vertical AND horizontal limits)

2. Prediction of crossing the flight tracks (ADS-B and FLARM® targets)

Derived from the own position and trajectory data (position, speed, flight direction, vertical speed) and

data from other aircraft, the TRX-2000 calculates the risk of a collision. If detecting a dangerous

situation, a warning will be generated 18 sec. before collision.

WARNING: Due to

sudden changes of the own or other

aircraft’s

flight

direction (track)

, this warning can be generated later / only few secounds

before a calculated collision.
