Lynx NGT-9000
Installation Manual
3.3 MAINTENANCE PC
The procedures for installation checkout require the use of a Maintenance PC (MPC), Lynx Maintenance
Appliance Tool (Lynx MAT), LynxMSS USB Driver, and a USB cable.
A compatible Lynx MAT revision must be used to successfully communicate with Lynx NGT-9000s.
Refer to the Software Revisions information in the General information section for details.
NOTE
The revision of the Lynx MAT must be compatible with the unit’s
software release. Refer to software revisions in the General information
section for details. The revision of the Lynx MAT can be found in the
Help/About menu at the top of the screen.
Persons performing the checkout should monitor the Lynx MAT status bar. The bottom left corner of the
screen provides information on connection type and communication status.
• The communication status is either “Connected – green indicator” or “Not Connected – red indicator”.
• Messages are also shown on the right side of the status bar providing guidance to the user.
• The operational status of the unit is shown on the Lynx MAT and is located at the top of the panel
(next to the model ID) and on the status bar. The operational status is either “Flight” or “Maint”.
When “Flight” status is shown the unit is in either “Normal Operation” or in “Ground Test” modes.
When “Maint” status is shown the unit is in “Maintenance” mode, with or without Wifi. The Restart
function of the Lynx MAT may be used to restart into Normal Operational mode, Maintenance mode
(with or without Wifi), or Ground Test mode.
• Maintenance mode (Maint) can be entered within the first 2 minutes from power-on irrespective of
Air/Ground state. After 2 minutes, maintenance mode can only be entered if the Air/Ground state is
On-Ground.
• The Air/Ground state is determined through a Weight On Wheels (WOW) input and GPS
Groundspeed. The air/ground state is initially determined based on the last known air/ground state
saved in non-volatile memory. When sensor inputs have become available and the state may be
determined based on sensors, the installed configuration is used to guide the air/ground algorithm to
update the current air/ground state.
NOTE
When the unit is restarted in maintenance mode the cooling fan is
enabled and the ADS-B discrete output is set to ground, which enables
the ADS-B Out Fail Annunciator lamp if installed.
1. Do the following to connect and establish communication between the MPC and the unit via the
USB connection.
a. Apply power to the unit as indicated in paragraph 3.2.1.
b. Connect USB cable between MPC and the unit.
c. From the Lynx MAT menu select ConnectZNGT9000 Z USB. See Figure 3-2.
