INSTALLATION APPROVAL NOTE
Presently, no TSO standard exists for airborne FM transceivers. To make it easier for installation
agencies to provide their customers with an approved installation supported by an effective Airworthiness
Approval, Technisonic has secured Supplemental Type Certificate (STC) Approvals on its Airborne FM
products for a limited number of airframes. The above referenced DO-160G test data is also on file and
available from Technisonic to support approval requirements in airframes for which Technisonic does not
possess an STC.
Approved aircraft types are listed in the attachments to the formal STC documents. These STCs are the
exclusive property of Technisonic and require the written authority of Technisonic for their use. Letters of
permission are provided upon request. To assist Factory Authorized Technisonic Dealers in the
certification process, we have placed copies of our STCs on our website. These documents may be
downloaded and used as support for the technical submission to FAA or Transport Canada. Only
authorized factory dealers/installers are permitted to download and make use of these documents on
behalf of their customers (end users) in support of regulatory agency approval. Please refer to the
Technisonic website www.til.ca for the latest issue of available STCs.

1.1
INTRODUCTION
This publication provides operating information on the TDFM-9300 airborne transceiver. The
exact configuration depends on which and how many RF modules are installed.
1.2
DESCRIPTION
The TDFM-9300 transceiver is an airborne multi-band radio capable of operation in conventional
analog FM, AM, P25 digital FM systems, SmartNet/SmartZone trunking systems, and P25 9600
trunking systems. RF modules are available in single, dual or tri bands that support various
combinations of VHF LO, VHF AM, VHF FM, UHF-LO, UHF-HI, UHF AM and 700-800 MHz
bands. Up to 4 single or multiple band P25 digital modules and one analog only module can be
supported.
These optional additional features include P25 9600 trunking Phase 1 and 2 that may be
combined with AES and/or DES-OFB encryption with OTAR in any of the available modules.
Bands 1 through 4 on the TDFM-9300 are not normally frequency agile. In order to have the
ability to change the frequencies at the front panel, the FPP (front panel programming) option
must be ordered for each band. FPP is available on all bands of modules.
The TDFM-9300 has provisions for four of the above RF modules as well as one analog only
module. This additional module is fully frequency programmable from the front panel. Analog only
modules support CTCSS, DCS, wide, and narrow band operation where applicable.
TDFM-9300 transcievers with MOD 14 (MCP) have the capability to provide PTT, mic and
headset for up to 2 (bands 7 and 8) remote handheld transceivers and/or a Latitude Technologies
S200-P12 satphone / PTT network com transceiver. Front panel control of the S200-P12 is
provided via the display and keypad. Connector J9 provides the MOD 14 interface. See table 6
for a list of recommended interface cables for various hand held transceivers. A digital audio port
has been added to interface with the Technisonic TDAP-650 and TDAP-750 digital audio panels.

INSTALLATION – WIRING INSTRUCTIONS
Figures 4 – 7 show all required connections and recommended wire sizes for the TDFM-9300
transceiver. There are receive audio, mic audio, and Push To Talk (PTT) lines for each band as
well as two sets of lines combining all bands. The TDFM-9300 can be wired such that band
selection can be made on the audio panel. Up to 7 positions need to be available on the audio
panel; otherwise, the TDFM-9300 can be wired into one or two positions of the audio panel where
band selection and audio monitoring are done on the TDFM-9300 front panel. An installation can
be wired in a combination of both methods since all inputs and outputs are always active.
2.8
MAIN GROUND – J1 PINS 1 AND 14
Both pins should be connected to power ground. These pins are internally connected to the
chassis.
2.9
MAIN POWER + 28 VDC – J1 PINS 2 AND 15
Both pins should be connected to +28 volts DC +/- 15%.
2.10 MIC 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7 AND 8 – J1 PINS 3, 6, 9, J6 PIN 6, J9 PINS 19 AND 20
The microphone input signals shall be connected using shielded wire with the shield connected to
ground (Pin 1 or 14). It is recommended for best results to leave the other end of the shield
floating to prevent ground currents unless you are connecting to an audio panel with floating hi
and lo inputs (like the Technisonic A710, A711 or A711L) in which case the shield must be
connected to the lo input. These are individual inputs for each band.
2.11 MIC COMBINED 1 AND 2 – J6 PINS 7 AND 13
The combined mic inputs should be wired and shielded as the individual mic inputs above. These
mic inputs can be used for any band. Band selection is made at the TDFM-9300 front panel.
2.12 AUDIO 1, 2, 3, 5, 4, 7 AND 8 – J1 PINS 4, 7, 10, 20, J6 PIN 5, J9 PINS 14 AND 15
These are individual audio outputs from each band. All outputs are 600 ohms impedance. The
output power is 65 mW maximum. Unused outputs do not need to be terminated and should be
left unconnected.
2.13 AUDIO COMBINED 1 AND 2 – J6 PINS 2 AND 10
These are combined audio outputs from all bands as selected from the front panel. The
specifications are the same as the individual outputs above.
2.14
PTT 1, 2, 3, 5, 4, 7 AND 8 – J1 PINS 5, 8, 11, 21, J6 PIN 3, J9 PINS 21 AND 22
There are individual PTT lines for each band. These lines should be floating when in receive
mode and grounded for transmit. The input has a pull up resistor to 5 volts. Connecting an audio
panel that wishes to see more may result in no receive audio. Connect a 1N4006 diode in series
with the cathode towards the audio panel in this case.
2.15 PTT COMBINED 1 AND 2 – J6 PINS 4 AND 12
These are combined PTT inputs to all bands as selected from the front panel. The specifications
are the same as the individual inputs above.

2.16 TX DATA AND RX DATA – J1 PINS 12 AND 13
These pins provide RS-232 serial communications for use with the RC-9000 remote control head
if installed. Consult the RC-9000 installation manual for details.
2.17
UP AND DOWN – J1 PINS 16 AND 17
These pins can be used to scroll up and down through the bands or channels for the band
currently selected depending on the band input below. The inputs normally floating are grounded
to activate. Two push buttons or a center off, SPDT, spring-loaded toggle switch are typically
used on these inputs.
2.18
CHANNEL/BAND – J1 PIN 18
The Channel / Band input determines the function of the up down inputs above. If left
unconnected, the inputs are for channel selection. If grounded, the input is for band selection.
2.19
PANEL BACKLIGHTING – J1 PIN 25
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
in the TDFM-9300 Operating Instructions manual). No damage will occur if the wrong setting is
made.
2.20
SPEAKER LO AND HI – J6 PINS 8 AND 9
Not normally connected in the aircraft. This output is 4 / 8 ohms at 1.1 watts max and has the
audio associated with Audio Combined 1. This output does not have to be terminated when not
used and should be left unconnected.
2.21
ANTENNA TUNER CONTROL LINES: P1 (PINS 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 10, AND 12)
These connections are to control an antenna tuner system such as the Foxtronics FLX-3050B.
Connect according to the manufacturer’s instructions. In the case of the FLX-3050B, the tune
indicator (which is normally connected to a light) can be connected to Pin 10 so that the tuning
indication will show on the TDFM-9300 display. If a passive antenna is used, these lines shall
remain unconnected.

ANTENNA SELECTION AND INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS
Antenna installations will vary according to the number / type of bands installed in the TDFM-
9300, types of antennas selected, and space available on the aircraft. The materials list above
contains many but not all antennas available. If dual or tri band RF modules are installed in the
TDFM-9300, it is suggested to use a single connector, multiband antenna for each of the RF
modules installed. When single band modules are installed, a single band antenna should be
used.
If the TDFM-9300 has more than one single band module installed 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. For example, transmitting near
150 MHz on VHF may interfere with frequencies near 450 MHz on the UHF band. Antennas
should be spaced as far as possible from each other with the Comm antennas on the opposite
side (top or bottom) from the FM antennas.
The following example uses a single RAMI AV-925 antenna and triplexer AV-926 with up to three
single band modules operating in the following Frequency ranges:
•
136-174 MHz
•
380-520 MHz
•
764-870 MHz

POST INSTALLATION ADJUSTMENT
In most cases, factory audio settings will work; however, if there is a need to adjust audio levels
to match the audio controller system, then they can be adjusted in the Maintenance Menu. To
reach the Maintenance Menu, press FUNC – NEXT and select Configuration from the 2nd side
button. Then press the MODE key.
First Page – TX Mic Gains
Mic 1 Level:
24
The Mic gain levels can be adjusted from 0 to 40 with a typical factory setting of 22 to 24 (Band 5
is 20). The higher the number, the more sensitive the mic input is. The factory setting gives
approximately 1.5 kHz deviation for – 13 dBm for a 600 ohm system. Highlight the desired band
by pressing the corresponding side button. Key the selected band and rotate the knob to adjust
the mic gain to a desired level. Unkey the radio. Repeat for the other bands as required.
Press NEXT to reach the next screen.
Second page - RX audio levels.
RX Audio 1 level: 14
This page sets the MAX RX audio level the volume has when set to 40 on the normal operational
display screen. The maximum RX audio level on each module installed can be adjusted from 0 to
40 with a typical factory setting for bands 1 to 4 of 10 to 14 for 5 Vrms for 600 ohm load. Band 5
is 30 to 35. The higher the number, the higher the max audio is.
Highlight the desired band by pressing the corresponding side button. Rotate the knob to adjust
the Maximum RX level. Repeat for other bands as required.
Note: The factory level is optimized for highest level with the lowest distortion. Adjusting further
than factory settings will result in little gain and higher RX distortion. Normally this level should
only be lowered if the audio controller needs a lower level of drive.
Press NEXT to reach the next screen.
Third Page – Keypad Backlight Calibration
Keypad Calibration – 28 VDC; 1800
Keypad Calibration – 5 VAC: 400
The keypad backlight maximum brightness can be adjusted here. The two menus available are
28V and 5V. The active menu depends on the Backlight Mode selected in the Configuration
Menu. The 28V menu can be adjusted if the radio is set for 28V, or the 5V menu can be adjusted
if the radio is set for 5V.
The 28V menu is adjustable from 500 to 2500 and the 5V is adjustable from 100 to 1000.
The calibration value determines the maximum brightness the keypad will be allowed to go to
when the max back light voltage is applied the back light buss input. The higher the number, the
lower the brightness. This feature maybe useful for matching the NV backlighting of the TDFM-
9300 to the airframe installation setup.
In the Configuration Menu, select the Backlight Mode – 28 VDC or 5 VAC (5th item). Set the
dimming bus in the airframe to maximum value. Rotate the knob to adjust the max brightness of
the keypad to the desired level.

POST INSTALLATION EMI TEST
PURPOSE
The purpose of this test is to identify any interference that the TDFM-9300 transceiver
may cause with existing aircraft systems.
TEST CONDITIONS
The TDFM-9300 transceiver should be installed and function tested. The antenna VSWR
should be checked. A forward/reverse power check with an in-line wattmeter should show
no more than 10% reflected power. For the following tests, ensure that the output power
is set to high.
METHODOLOGY
Most of the EMI tests can be accomplished on the ground. In some cases, flight testing is
required or is easier. If the aircraft is approved for IFR operations, then it is mandatory
that interference between the TDFM-9300 transceiver and the approach aids be checked
in flight.
The GPS should be operational and navigating with at least the minimum compliment of
satellites. The VHF comm should be set to the frequencies indicated with the squelch
open. VOR/DME receivers should be set to the frequencies indicated and selected for
display. If possible, set up a DME ramp test set on the frequencies indicated and adjust
the output until the flags are out of view. The transponder and encoder should be
monitored with ramp test equipment. Set the output of the transponder test set to 3db
above the output necessary to achieve 90% reply. If possible, set the ADF to a nearby
navigation station.
Modulate the TDFM-9300 transmitter on the indicated frequencies for at least 20 seconds.
Observe the GPS for any degradation in satellite status or availability or flags. Listen for
any noise or detected audio signals on the VHF comm(s). Listen for any noise or detected
audio signals on the VOR/LOC receiver audio; look for any moment of flags or needles on
the VOR/LOC/GS navigation display(s). Observe the transponder for any loss of reply or
spurious reply.
List the power plant, fuel, and other electric instruments in the chart provided and note
any anomalies that occur while transmitting. Assess the results.
If the aircraft is equipped with an autopilot or a stability augmentation system, then test fly
the aircraft and verify that operation of the TDFM-9300 transceiver does not have adverse
effects on these systems. After checking for gross effects at a safe altitude, fly an
approach with each of the different navigation systems coupled to the autopilot (ILS,
GPS, etc.) and look for any anomalies.
RESULTS
If the installed system passes all of the applicable EMI tests, then no further action is
required. If interference is observed, then the interference must be assessed against the
appropriate standards of airworthiness for the system in question. For example, it is
permissible for a VFR certified GPS to lose navigation capability while the TDFM-9300
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. A
complete discussion of all the standards of airworthiness to be applied in assessing EMI
effects is beyond the scope of this document.

Determine if the image frequency for the VHF Comm falls within the range of the TDFM-
9300. If so, select a set of frequencies that will cause the TDFM-9300 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. Modulate the TDFM-
9300 transmitter on the following frequencies for at least 20 seconds. Listen for any
noise or detected audio signals on the VHF comm.
Example - Bendix/King KY 196A:
The first IF frequency is 11.4 MHz. The L.O. is above the received frequency (high side
injection); therefore, the image frequency is 22.8 MHz above the selected frequency. Set
the KY 196A to 120.000 MHz and the TDFM-9300 to 142.8000 MHz.

D.
The following procedure checks for second harmonic interference to the glide slope
receiver from the TDFM-9300. All transceivers produce harmonics (multiples of the
wanted frequency) and while the TDFM-9300 far exceeds FCC requirements,
interference can still be experienced depending upon antenna position and separation.
Furthermore, other equipment in the aircraft and the structure of the aircraft can
generate harmonics where dissimilar metals make contact or where grounds are
isolated, etc. This is also true of aircraft hangars; therefore, testing should be done
outside away from any structures where possible.
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-9300 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. If an interference condition is detected, then the installation will have to be flight
tested according to the following procedure. Using the table below, determine the glide
slope frequency based on the localizer frequency of the ILS to be used. Divide the glide
slope frequency by 2 and program into the TDFM-9300. Fly the aircraft to intercept the
localizer and glide slope (both needles centered) at 26 nm from the runway. Transmit on
the TDFM-9300 for 10 seconds and watch for any deflections or flags. Repeat the test
every 2 nm until the indicators are not affected. If the distance is greater than 18 nm,
then a pass shall be recorded. Otherwise the TDFM-9300 shall be placarded “Do not
transmit while on ILS approach.”
