TR-220 (Tel-Instruments/TIC) Features and Specifications*
The TR-220 Multi-Function Test Set is a cutting-edge tool designed for comprehensive testing of Traffic and Collision Avoidance Systems (TCAS), Distance Measuring Equipment (DME), and Transponders. With its wide frequency range of 00 to 117.95 MHz, the TR-220 allows for accurate measurement of power, frequency, and PRF. It also offers user-selectable DME distance and velocity, simplifying TCAS testing. Additionally, the TR-220 is capable of transmitting and receiving ADS-B signals, transmitting Traffic Information, and performing test requirements for ATCRBS or Mode S intruders. It meets European test requirements for Mode S Elementary and Enhanced Surveillance and is compliant with European CE requirements.
In terms of physical characteristics, the TR-220 is compact and lightweight, weighing only 20 lbs. (9.1 kg.) and measuring 36.8x23.9x16.5 cm. It comes with a directional antenna that can be hand-held or mounted on a site, providing flexibility in testing scenarios. The test set also includes essential accessories such as a power cord, directional antenna cable, and an operator's manual for easy setup and operation. With a battery life of 8 hours at 20% duty cycle and the option for AC operation/charging, the TR-220 ensures uninterrupted testing.
Overall, the TR-220 Multi-Function Test Set offers a comprehensive range of features and characteristics that make it an indispensable tool for efficient and accurate testing of TCAS, DME, and Transponder systems. Its wide frequency range, user-selectable options, and compliance with European test requirements make it a reliable choice for professionals in the aviation industry. With its compact size and essential accessories, the TR-220 provides convenience and flexibility in testing scenarios.
