Lynx NGT-9000 Installation Manual 1.2 FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION The Lynx MultiLink Surveillance System (also referred to in this manual as the Lynx NGT-9000) is a Mode S Level 2 dens Class 1 Transponder providing Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast (ADS-B) out on 1090 MHz with an integrated GPS receiver. The unit also receives ADS-B data via 978 MHz and 1090 MHz. Some models support optional Active Traffic (TAS or TCAS) and/or antenna Diversity functionality.
PAGE 25
Lynx NGT-9000 Installation Manual 1.2.2 Transponder Functional Overview The unit receives Mode A, Mode C, and Mode S interrogations on 1030 MHz and replies on 1090 MHz. The unit is equipped with IDENT capability that activates the Special Identification (SPI) pulse for 18 seconds. Ground stations and airborne TCAS can interrogate Mode S Transponders individually using a 24-bit ICAO Mode S address, which is unique to the particular aircraft.
PAGE 26
Lynx NGT-9000 Installation Manual 1.2.6 Traffic Display Functional Overview The Lynx NGT-9000 monitors the airspace around the aircraft using ADS-B In (and TAS/TCAS if equipped) to show other aircraft on the screen. When within range of a participating ground station TIS-B and ADS-R traffic services are also shown on the screen. Traffic is identified on the screen using corresponding traffic symbols.
PAGE 27
Lynx NGT-9000 Installation Manual 1.2.9 ADS-B Traffic Advisory System Overview (optional) Release 2.0 and later. The ADS-B Traffic Advisory System (ATAS) [previously referred to as TSAA] function provides traffic advisories using ADS-B In information via aural announcements over the cockpit speakers or headset and visually via the display or a cockpit lamp. ATAS and TAS/TCAS may operate at the same time with traffic information being correlated by the unit.
PAGE 28
Lynx NGT-9000 Installation Manual 1.2.13 Discrete Inputs and Outputs Functional Overview The Lynx NGT-9000 has discrete inputs and outputs available that can be interfaced to indicator lamps and cockpit switches. The discretes are optional except as noted in the instructions found in the installation section. Input and output discretes are normally open and are set to ground when active, unless otherwise indicated.

Lynx NGT-9000 Installation Manual A.2.6.2 RS-422 Interface to WX-500 The RS-422 interface to the WX-500 is optional. The WX-500 provides range and bearing of lightning discharge points in relation to the aircraft. In addition, the NGT-9000 can also be configured to receive AHRS information from the WX-500 (using synchro heading). This interface requires two transmit and two receive connections with the WX-500. NGT-9000 connections are Rx2B, Rx2A, Tx2B, Tx2A (pins 50, 51, 52, & 53).

Lynx NGT-9000 Installation Manual A.2.9 Discrete Input The unit has six discrete inputs that are GND/Open. The GND position is typically (depending on configuration options) the active (ON) position. This discrete input provides 1.0 ± 0.25 mA of current when the input is grounded. The input is in the ground state when input voltage is less than or equal to 3.5Vdc, or there is less than 10 Ohms impedance to ground. The input is in the open state if the input voltage is greater than or equal to 18.

Lynx NGT-9000 Installation Manual Deviation Notes: Deviation 6: TSO-C195a. When a heading source is unavailable, ATCRBS and ADS-B traffic are respectively oriented in a heading and track-up orientation. ACSS believes that removing the ADS-B traffic or ATCRBS traffic from the data sent to the display when the heading input is not available would significantly reduce the value of the CDTI’s support in the pilot’s see and avoid responsibilities.
