The Sun Avionics AV-10 is powered by (4) AA batteries and is designed to be an affordable easy to use small tester that provides test signals for the following avionic equipment:
1.Generates VOR test signals at each 45 deg radial or at 0, 45, 90, 135, 180, 225,270, 315 deg's from the station. Carrier frequencies 108.0, 110.2, 112.4, 113.6 MHz are selectable.
2. ILs test signals.
a) Localizer
108.1 or 110.3 MHz carrier frequency center, 1/2 and full deflection right and left no 150Hz or no 90Hz modulation to check NAV flag
b) GLIDE SLOPE
108.1 - 334.7, or 110.3 - 335.0 MHz carrier frequency center, 1/2 and Full deflection up and down, no 150HZ or no 90Hz modulation to check flag
c) MARKER BEACON
OUTER, MIDDLE, and INNER marker beacon signals
3. DME test signal.
108.00 =17X or 108.05=17Y MHz carrier selectable
Generates a fixed 20NM signal to DME
4. TRANSPONDER A/C/S ADS-B
a) Generates MODE-A test signal and display's squawk code and reply percentage. Also allows sidelobe suppression check. If the transponder IDENT is activated then the AV-10 will display IDENT. The AV-10 sends about 75 MODE-A interrogations per second. The AV-10 sends 1030MHz P1 and P3 pulses spaced 8.0uS apart. The P2 sidelobe supression pulse is the same amplitude as P1-P3 and sent 2.0uS after the P1 pulse if enabled. No P4 pulse is sent.
b) Generates MODE-C test signal and display's altitude and reply percentage.
Also allows sidelobe suppression check. The AV-10 sends about 75 MODE-C interrogations per second. The AV-10 sends 1030MHz P1 and P3 pulses spaced 21.0uS apart. The P2 sidelobe supression pulse is the same amplitude as P1-P3 and sent 2.0uS after the P1 pulse if enabled. No P4 pulse is sent.
c) Checks the Aircraft Transponders Transmit carrier frequency.
The AV-10 sends MODE-A requests and displays a number that is representative of the magnitude of the received reply. By moving a filter about the nominal 1090MHz receive frequency the approximate transponder transmit frequency is determined. The filter can be moved 15MHz from 1090MHZ in 1MHz steps.
d) Sends A/C/S ALL-CALL message.
ATCRBS MODE-A/C transponders will send a normal MODE-A reply. MODE-S transponders will send an S reply. The AV-10 will display the HEX Aircraft ID and a all 0's CRC error code for good received S reply. The AV-10 sends 1030MHz P1 and P3 pulses spaced 8.0uS apart. A 1.6uS wide P4 pulse is sent 2.0uS after P3.
e) Send MODE-S only ALL-CALL.
The AV-10 will send a differential phase-shift keyed (DPSK) MODE=S ALL-CALL interrogation. ATCRBS MODE-A/C will not respond since the interrogation starts with two 1030MHz pulses spaced 2.0uS apart that is seen as a sidelobe supression. Since an all 1's ALL-Call address is sent, any MODE-S transponder will send a MODE-S reply. The AV-10 will display the HEX aircraft ID and all 0's CRC for a good reply.
f) ADS-B MODE-S ID SQUITTER
The AV-10 will listen for the ID-SQUITTER AND display the HEX ID and 0's CRC for good reply.
g) AIRCRAFT TAIL NUMBER SQUITTER
The AV-10 will listen for the flight number - tail number squitter and display the Tail number and the HEX ID.
h) LOCATION SQUITTER
The AV-10 will listen for the GPS derived location squitter and display the calculated LATitude and LONgitude in decimal degrees. Due to the way position data is sent, It takes at least 2 received squitters to calculate the position.
