XPDR CODE [1L]: Displays and allows modification of the active and standby identifier codes for the
XPDR/TCAS transponder. Enter the identifier in scratchpad and press LSK 1L. Entry may be made to the
standby position only when a new value is in the scratchpad. If the scratchpad is empty it toggles between
active/standby identifiers. The FMS displays a tuned active code in large font white color. During the tuning
process, the active code is displayed in large font inverse white color. If the tuning operation is not successful,
the code is displayed in small font amber color as a warning to the pilot. Attempting an entry or toggling of this
field is not possible while the transponder is squawking.
ACTIVE XPDR [3L]: In a multiple transponder installation, displays and allows selection of the active
transponder.
NOTE: selection options are XPDR1/XPDR2.
XPDR MODE [4L]: Displays and allows section of one of the following transponder modes: STANDBY,
ALT_RPTG_OFF and NORMAL.
IDENT [5L]: Allow the crew to add the Special Position Identification "IDENT" pulse to the ATCRBS Mode A
reply code. It is possible to re-initiate the "IDENT" period at any time, including those times during which it is
already being transmitted. When pressed, the font changes to large inverse green for approximately 18 seconds
and the active transponder code (displayed at [1L]) is also displayed in large inverse green font for the duration
of the squawk.
For some installations, activation of the Squawk Ident function can be performed through a dedicated push
button in the cockpit.
RADIO [6L]: Access to the RADIO top level page where XPDR/TCAS is located.
ALT RNG [3R]: Displays and allows section of one of the following TCAS altitude range options: NORMAL,
ABOVE and BELOW.
