The Aircraft Identification (FID) code is displayed on the right bottom line and consists of seven
alphanumerical characters.
CAUTION

only program 7 characters for FID.
SELECTING FLIGHT IDENTIFICATION

Identification input menu. This FID code is a changeable alphanumerical flight number.

figures A..Z, blank, and 0..9 can be selected. To enter the code, press the MODE button or the
FID button again. The FID code is stored in the external aircraft connector.

number of the aircraft.
c. The pilot has to change the FID manually if necessary.
913.1.3 ERROR REPORTING / FAULT CODES
The transponder’s reception, transmission, altitude and power supply are monitored periodically.
This self-testing routine is permanently active in the background. If any error occurs due to an
internal malfunction or from an external disturbance at the antenna, the transponder changes to
the Standby Mode and „Error“ is displayed on the lowest line. Additionally the result of the internal
analysis are displayed in the second line.
LIST OF POSSIBLE ERRORS:
1. 'ANT' will appear if the antenna is defective (e.g. broken cable).
2. 'FLerr' instead of the altitude appears on the display, if there is an error with the
altimeter or if the aircraft is outside the altitude range(FL-010 to FL350). If the mode
ACS was active before, it will change to mode A-S automatically.
3. 'DC' for a faulty transmitter power supply
4. 'FPG' for internal communication errors,
5. 'TRX' will appear for transmitter error. In this case, the unit will change to 'STBY' and
will stop all transmission.
