FIRST AID IN CASE OF ELECTRIC SHOCK


Artificial respiration (mouth-to-mouth) is the recommended technique for use in any case of
electrical shock. It is comparatively simple and produces the best and quickest results when
correctly applied.

Send for medical assistance if possible.

Start without delay but do not touch the victim until the circuit is broken.
1. Break the electrical circuit by switching OFF or, if not possible, PROTECT YOURSELF
with dry insulating material and pull the victim clear of the conductor
2. Make a brief inspection of the mouth and throat and
ensure that they are clear of obvious obstruction
3. Place your hand on his forehead, and pinch his nostrils
together with the thumb and index finger of this hand.Let
this same hand exert pressure on his forehead to main-
tain the backward head tilt and maintain an open airway.
With your other hand, keep your fingertips on the bony
part of the lower jaw near the chin and lift
4. Take a deep breath and place your mouth (in an airtight
seal) around the casualty's mouth.If the injured person is
small, cover both his nose and mouth with your mouth,
sealing your lips against the skin of his face
5. After blowing, turn your head to watch for chest move-
ment, and allow him to exhale passively
6. If the chest does not rise, do the following steps below
and then attempt to ventilate again
• Take corrective action immediately by re-establishing the airway. Make sure that
air is not leaking from around your mouth or out of the casualty's pinched nose
• Reattempt to ventilate
• If the chest still does not rise, take the necessary action to open an obstructed air-
way

NOTE

If the initial attempt to ventilate the casualty is unsuccessful, reposition the casualty's head
and repeat rescue breathing. Improper chin and head positioning is the most common cause
of difficulty with ventilation. If the casualty cannot be ventilated after repositioning the head,
proceed with foreign-body airway obstruction manoeuvres
7. Repeat the procedure 12 to 15 times per minute, till medical aid is arranged

CAUTIONARY NOTE

Do not give mouth-to-mouth resuscitation during CPR in the presence of toxins such as cya-
nide, hydrogen sulphide, corrosives and organo-phosphates. Ventilate the casualty by using a
face mask or bag/valve/mask assembly.

Avoid mouth-to-mouth resuscitation if there is possibility of transmission of infection between


the victim and the rescuer, such as HIV, Hepatitis-B, Tuberculosis, Shigellosis, Meningococcal
meningitis, Herpes simplex virus and Salmonella. Use an interposition airway device, which
must function effectively in both its resuscitation and protective roles, and be immediately
available at all times.

WARNING - HEALTH HAZARD


Beryllium Oxide is used internally in the high frequency power transistors. It is used for heat
transfer between the transistor chip and casing and is fully enclosed in the transistor case. In
this form it is harmless. However, if the transistor casing is broken, the oxide may be exposed
and represent a health hazard if touched or inhaled.

Beryllium Oxide dust presents a health hazard unless adequate safety precautions are
taken.

THE HAZARD

The material is highly dangerous in dust form when it might be inhaled or enter a cut or an
area of skin irritation.

If dust is caused by chafing, filing or breakage and is inhaled, a single exposure lasting sec-
onds or minutes can cause injury to skin or muscular membranes severe enough to endanger
life or cause permanent injury. Particles penetrating the skin through wounds or abrasions are
liable to cause chronic ulcerations.

Symptoms of poisoning, indicated by respiratory troubles or cyanosis (grey or blue discolora-


tion of the skin), may develop within a week, or after a period extending to several years.

PRACTICAL PRECAUTIONS

Modules containing components with beryllium oxide are clearly marked on the outside.
These modules shall be handled as special waste when decommissioned.

Spare RF Power transistors, received in the manufacturer’s packing, are clearly identified by
attached information. They should be stored in the original packing and not mixed with other
items. The Beryllium Oxide is encapsulated and components are safe to handle for replace-
ment purposes. Care should be exercised in removing defective items to ensure that they do
not become physically damaged.

Components must not be:


1. Carried loosely in pocket, bag or container with other components where they may rub
together or break and disintegrate into dust
2. Heated excessively (normal soldering is quite safe)
3. Broken open for inspection or in any way scratched by tools

Defective and broken components must not be:


1. Disposed of in containers used for general refuse
2. Thrown into the sea unless the circumstances make it unavoidable, e.g. broken cath-
ode ray tubes

Disposal of components containing Beryllium Oxide is described in the next section.


Instruction Manual

73892/Rev.1.2/05-Apr-17 NORMARC 7011B-7034B

NORMARC 7000 ILS

DISPOSAL

Defective components should be individually wrapped, clearly identified as «DEFEC-


TIVE BERYLLIUM OXIDE COMPONENTS» and returned for subsequent disposal. Such
components, securely packed and suitably identified, may also be returned directly to the
manufacturer when known.

Broken components should be individually wrapped and identified as «BROKEN


BERYLLIUM OXIDE COMPONENTS». They must NOT be sent through the post but must be
returned to a depot by hand.

Defective modules containing components with beryllium oxide should be returned for
repair and any defective RF transistors handled as defective components described above.
Modules that are not repaired should be identified as "Module containing components with
Beryllium Oxide" and handled as special waste.

MEDICAL PRECAUTIONS

If Beryllium Oxide is believed to be on, or to have entered the skin through cuts or abrasions,
the area should be thoroughly washed and treated by normal first-aid methods followed by
subsequent medical inspection.

A doctor should treat suspected inhalation of Beryllium Oxide dust as soon as possible, pref-
erably at a hospital.

WARNING ENERGY HAZARD

High levels of electrical energy are supplied by the AC/DC power supplies and distributed by
the 27VDC supply inside the cabinet. Be careful not to contact the connectors supplying the
27VDC, or any component connected to the 27V DC, with any metallic object while servicing
the cabinet.

Note that to fully remove 27VDC turn off mains AC/DC power supplies/Chargers and isolate
the standby batteries if connected.

Only authorized maintenance personnel shall be given access to and perform maintenance
on the cabinet.

WARNING - This equipment is unintended for installation in a RESTRICTED ACCESS


LOCATION (RAL) only

i.e where both of the following apply:


• access can only be gained by SERVICE PERSONS or by USERS who have been
instructed about the reasons for the restrictions applied to the location and about any
precautions that shall be taken; and
• access is through the use of a TOOL or lock and key, or other means of security, and is
controlled by the authority responsible for the location

shipping.

All modules must be packed in electrostatic conductive (ESD) bags or boxes before shipping.

Modules to be shipped for service must always be identified by module no. and serial
no. See section 1.4, Product Type Numbers for proper identification rules. Use the
assembly level as identifier if assembly consists of one or more modules.

REVISION NUMBERS

Modules used in the system, which have the same type of designation, might in particular
cases have different revision numbers.

This is due to the production of modules in different batches where changes have taken place
from one batch to the next.

New revisions of modules, always replace the old revisions.

Documentation of the latest revision is enclosed in the manual.

Please contact us if information on older revisions of modules are needed for servicing pur-
poses.

SECTION 1 GENERAL INFORMATION

1 Section 1 General Information

1.1 Purpose and scope

The purpose of this document is to provide the reader with sufficient information to understand
how the NORMARC 7000B-series LOC/GP operates and is maintained when used together
with the relevant Antenna System handbook. The handbook also contains equipment specific
information for installation; general installation information is given in the Installation hand-
book.

The handbook is written for personnel with a good prior knowledge of ILS, users should partic-
ipate in a NORMARC ILS training course to get the required training.

The handbook covers both the cold standby and hot standby version of the equipment. Where
relevant, paragraphs are marked cold standby only or hot standby only, or alternatively by the
NORMARC type number.

The corrective maintenance strategy supported is LRU (Line Replaceable Unit) replacement.
Fault isolation to LRU level is supported by the RMM system, minimizing downtime caused by
repairs.

Repair of LRUs require specialized training and equipment, and should be done by
Indra Navia AS or other authorized repair facilities.

1.3.4 Localizer Description

The antenna array of the ILS localizer transmitter is located on the extension of the centre line
of the instrument runway of an airfield, but is located far enough from the stop end of the run-
way to prevent it being a collision hazard. The localizer antenna radiates a field pattern
directed along the centre line of the runway towards the middle and outer markers. The
antenna also furnish information outside the front course area in the form of full fly-left or full
fly-right indications (CLEARANCE).

All localizer installations transmit a STATION IDENTIFICATION in Morse code at periodic


intervals. This is a 1020 Hz tone that is keyed to form the basic station identifier.The localizer
Instruction Manual

is designed to provide a signal at a minimum distance of 25 miles within +/- 10 degrees, and at
a minimum distance of 17 nautical miles between +/- 10 and +/- 35 degrees from the front
course line. (Refer to ICAO Annex 10 Chapter 3.1.3.3.1).

1.3.6 Glide Path Description

To shape the glide path signal, ground plane reflection from an area in front of the antenna
array is necessary. The specific requirements to the area are given in the antenna handbook.

The glide path site may be located on either side of the runway, but the most reliable operation
will be obtained if the site is selected on terrain least obstructed by taxi ways, aircraft holding
aprons, parking ramps, buildings, power lines etc. The site should offer the widest area of
smooth ground with possibilities of levelling without excessive physical or economical effort, if
indeed levelling is deemed necessary.
Instruction Manual

The glide path antenna system should be located at a distance of 75-200 m from the runway
centre line. The distance from the runway threshold is a function of several factors upon which
establishment of the optimum operational conditions depend. These factors are:

nance capabilities, and very high reliability and integrity. To meet this objective, the monitor
comparator and station control are based on digital hardware, while the RMS interface is
microprocessor based.

73892-I1/Rev.2/05-Apr-17 NORMARC 7011B-7034B

© Indra Navia AS Page 1-18


SECTION 1 GENERAL INFORMATION

1.7.2 Physical Description

The cabinet contains two sections:


• The electronics card cage
• The transmitter / PA section including changeover relays

The electronics card cage contains the RF oscillators, the LF signal generators, the monitors,
the station control, the RMS processor, and the voltage regulators.

The transmitter / PA section contains the PA blocks including couplers etc. for each output
with the changeover section in the rear and RF outputs mounted on bottom or top.

The cabinet is divided in two parts, with the rear part fixed to a wall, and the front part hinged
to give access to interior of the cabinet.

All external connections are made to the rear part of the cabinet.

1.7.3 Monitors

The ILS has duplicated monitors with inputs for Course Line (CL), Displacement Sensitivity
(DS), Near Field (NF), and Clearance (CLR) (Dual Freq. only). The signals are sampled at the
RF inputs and then processed and filtered by digital hardware. The results for each parameter
is then compared with stored limits in a digital hardware comparator.

Each of the two monitors consists of two modules. For Cat III use, hot standby monitoring can
be added by using one additional monitor and associated RF couplers and combiners.

The design of the monitors ensures a very high integrity due to the use of digital hardware for
the alarm comparators signal processing. In addition, the monitor is checked by automatic
self-tests.

The alarm limits are stored locally in non-volatile memory, and can be updated from the RMS
processor, with a separate hardware write protection to ensure that the integrity is not affected
by the RMS system.

1.7.4 Transmitters

The transmitters are duplicated, either single frequency or dual frequency. Each transmitter
consists of a RF oscillator, a LF generator, and one or two PA blocks (single or dual fre-
quency).

The RF oscillator uses synthesizers for easy frequency changes and simple logistics. The
oscillator has two outputs for use in dual frequency systems.

The LF generator contains the circuits to generate CSB and SBO (90Hz and 150Hz) and key-
ing (1020Hz) modulating signals. It also contains the ident keyer / sequencer and interface for
DME master or slave keying. A digital signal processor generates all signals ensuring very
stable phase and amplitude relations between the modulation signals.
Instruction Manual

All modulation parameters, such as Modulation Balance, Modulation Sum, RF level, SBO
attenuation, SBO phase, Ident code and Ident modulation are controlled by this module. The
values are stored locally in EEPROM and can be updated from the RMS processor with hard-

SECTION 1 GENERAL INFORMATION

ware write protection.

The same LF generator is used for single and dual frequency systems.

1.7.5 Transmitter Control

The transmitter control module controls the system dependent on alarms from the monitors
and inputs from the local control, the remote control and, optionally, the RMS. It also gener-
ates status information to the same modules. The local control and status indicators are a part
of the transmitter control module.

All functions in the transmitter control are based on digital hardware to ensure the highest
integrity.

1.7.6 Remote Control

The remote control is used in the tower or in the technical control room. It has indicators for
operating status as well as detailed warnings and an aural alarm device with reset. It can con-
trol equipment on/off and changeover, and has an Access Grant-switch to allow remote con-
trol from the RMS.

The Remote Control is connected to the ILS by one telephone pair cable.

1.7.7 Remote Monitoring System (RMS)

The RMS module contains the system microprocessor. It handles storage and read-out of
monitor parameters, measurements for maintenance and fault finding, and performs fault
analysis to isolate faults to line replaceable modules. It is also used to set monitor limits and
transmitter adjustments.

The RMS handles communication to local and remote RMM computers, and in addition it han-
dles a colour display and keypad for parameter setting and read-out.

1.7.8 Remote Slave Panel

The slave panel is connected to the remote control by a multipair wire. It is intended for use in
the control tower. It has indicators for normal / warning / alarm and has an aural alarm device.
in addition it can turn the equipment on and off, and has an aural alarm reset.

Optionally a slave panel with remote control functionality can be delivered.

1.7.9 Remote Maintenance Monitoring (RMM)

The NORMARC 7000B series has a built-in Remote Maintenance Monitoring system. This
system consists of the RMS, remote PC terminals with the RMM program installed, and the
local keyboard/display. Figure 1-5 illustrates the RMM/RMS systems.

Figure 1-5 The NORMARC 7000B series RMM/RMS systems


Instruction Manual

The core of the RMS is a CPU with the RMS core program. The RMS collects measurements
and diagnostic data, and makes them available to the user. The collected information allows
easy and cost effective maintenance, fault finding and routine reporting.
73892-I1/Rev.2/05-Apr-17 NORMARC 7011B-7034B

© Indra Navia AS Page 1-21


SECTION 1 GENERAL INFORMATION

In addition, system settings are distributed and parameter readings are collected via the RMS/
CPU.

External personal computers are used for a user-friendly interface to the RMM system. The
equipment has three serial output ports, an USB port and an Ethernet port typically used to
connect a local PC, a PC in the airport technical equipment room, and a modem for connec-
tion to a central maintenance facility.

The local keypad/display allow readings and control through an LCD display and a seven-but-
ton keypad. This gives access to the RMM functionality without the need for a PC.

1.7.9.1 RMM Access

Access to the RMM system is controlled by multiple hardware and software access controls.
One password is required for each access level, i.e. one password for level 1, two for level 2
and three for level 3. Optional hardware controls may inhibit writing in the upper access levels.

The operations that are permitted to a logged on user depend on the logon access level.

The NORMARC 7000B ILS defines four access levels:

Access Number Allowed operations


level of pass-
words
Level 1 1 Read-out of all measurements and all configuration data, except
user passwords.
Level 2 2 Level 1 operations + turning transmitters and LF signals on/off.
Level 3 3 Level 1 and 2 operations + setting all configuration data, except
user passwords.
MASTER 3 Level 1, 2 and 3 operations + setting/viewing users and pass-
words, setting the ILS real time clock.

Note that to logon at access level 2 or higher, more than one password must be entered. The
passwords must be separated with a single space.

The user name and password(s) are case-insensitive.

To logon as MASTER, which is a special built-in administrative user, the user name “master”
and all three master passwords must be entered (logon at access levels 1 or 2 with the master
user is therefore not possible). The factory default master passwords are: MASTER1
MASTER2 MASTER3

To logon at other access levels a user account must be first be set up by the master user.

If the master user passwords have been lost, see Ch.7.3.3.

Note that to logon at access level 2 or higher, straps on the TCA board must be set to enable
this. Refer to 7.3.3 for more information about this.

SECTION 2 TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION

2 Section 2 Technical Description

2.1 Introduction

The NORMARC 7000B-series Instrument Landing System is a fourth generation system fea-
turing extensive remote maintenance and monitoring features and systematic use of modern
electronic components and processors.

Careful analysis has guided the partitioning of the system into analog hardware, digital hard-
ware and software to meet the reliability and integrity objectives as well as easy maintenance
and low cost of ownership.

In the monitor, comparison between monitor measurements and stored monitor limits is per-
formed by digital hardware. Thus safety critical software is avoided in those functions. The fil-
tering functions are performed by a dedicated signal processor running a FFT algorithm, with
the signals sampled after base-band detection.

The transmitter/modulator uses a synthesizer as a RF source. In two-frequency systems a


common reference crystal is used, avoiding drift in difference frequency. The LF and ident sig-
nals and ident keying are generated and controlled by digital circuits.

Local and remote control, and changeover and shut-down functions are performed by digital
hardware.

Software is used for the remote maintenance and monitoring functions, including alarm and
parameter storage, diagnostic functions, transmitter adjustments and change of monitor limits.
Appropriate hardware protection is used to avoid that the software becomes safety critical.

Technology

Most of the modules in the NORMARC 7000-series ILS are based on surface mount compo-
nents on multi-layer boards. This reduces the number of modules, and gives very good EMC/
EMI performance. Most of the digital hardware is contained in field programmable gate arrays
(FPGA), giving very high reliability. The processors used are well proven Texas, Analog
Devices and Intel types. In the RF stages, modern RF power FET transistors are used.

2.2 Monitors

The monitor electronics main task is to generate alarms if the transmitters or antenna system
fail. The alarm signals are interpreted by the station control section that decides whether to
change transmitter or to shut the ILS signals down. Warning information is treated by the
RMS. The monitor logic can be arranged for a 1 of 2 or 2 of 2 voting for alarms.

The input signals to the monitor are RF signals, Course Line (CL), Displacement Sensitivity
(DS), Near Field antenna (NF) and CLeaRance (CLR-2 freq. only), from the antenna system.
In addition the DC-loop detects failures in the antenna system (open circuit), and an optional
front-end can monitor alarm-generating parameters from a far field monitor. The outputs are
alarm status to the transmitter control section, parameter values to the RMS and DC-loop ref-
erence voltages for the antenna system.

The monitor chain consists of the Monitor Front-end module, MF 1821A, and the Monitor mod-
ule MO 1820A. When connected to a Far Field Monitor (FFM), the Far field monitor Controller
module FC 1927A is added. This chain is duplicated to increase reliability. In hot standby con-
figurations an additional chain monitors the standby transmitter.

The Monitor Front-end module is mainly an AM digital receiver which samples the RF signal
and filters and detects it digitally. It also checks the received frequency against its own local
oscillator. The monitor front-end output consist of digital representations of the demodulated
signals.

The Monitor passes the parameters to the comparators. The comparators generate alarm sig-
nals if the parameters are outside the programmed limits for a period longer than the config-
Instruction Manual

ured alarm delay. Two separate comparator chains are used to increase integrity. If the
parameter(s) returns inside the alarm limits before the alarm delay has run out, the alarm will
be cleared.

SECTION 2 TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION

The Far field monitor Controller FC 1927A module (option) receives data from the far field
monitor on serial form via the interface module FI 1392A. FFM data are decoded according to
the NORMARC 7720 protocol in a local microprocessor. The FFM parameters are passed on
to the monitor and the RMS, and handled as all other monitor signals, except that the FFM
can be set to give either executive or non-executive alarms.

2.3 Transmitters

The transmitter section generates the ILS signal with the required RF power levels and modu-
lations levels. The section comprises two identical transmitters, TX 1 and TX 2, where one is
connected to the antenna, while the other is connected to dummy loads, acting as a back-up.

The reference signals in the transmitter section are RF signals from the oscillator OS 1706,
and LF modulation signals (90Hz and 150Hz) from the low frequency generator LF 1576. The
LF 1576 also generates the keyed 1020Hz signal for the LOC Ident. System DC voltages
comes from the Power Supply board PS 1227.

In each transmitter, the RF oscillator has separate outputs for Course and Clearance. These
two channels are offset by 10 kHz for LOC and 15 kHz for GP. The LF Generator also has
independent outputs for Course and Clearance.

The LPA 1580 Localizer Power Amplifier Assembly and the GPA 1581 Glide Path Course
Power Amplifier Assembly each contains two feedback controlled output amplifiers, one for
the CSB signal and one for the SBO signal. GPA 1582 contains one feedback controlled out-
put amplifier for GP clearance.

Each amplifier is controlled by a "Cartesian Loop" feedback. This employs separate I and Q

(in-phase and quadrature-phase) modulators, demodulators and integrator stages. The


demodulators are fed from a directional coupler in the amplifier output, and the IQ feedback
loops keeps precise control of output amplitude and phase. The CSB to SBO RF phase is pre-

cisely controlled from 0-360º by the ratio between the SBO I and SBO Q modulating signals,
and the levels of the combined modulation signals accurately controls RF power, modulation
levels and CSB to SBO power ratio.

The Change Over section uses PIN diodes switching to connect the CSB and SBO outputs
from one transmitter to the antenna while the other is connected to dummy loads. The PIN
diodes are controlled by a Coax-control signal coming from the TCA-board.

2.4 Transmitter Control

The transmitter control section’s main purpose is to control the transmitters on/off state. This
is done based on alarm inputs from the monitors, inputs from remote control, inputs from local
keyboard (front panel for station control) and inputs from the RMM system.

The station control receives alarm information from the monitors. Based on the alarm status
and the current mode of operation, the station control decides if a changeover/shutdown
should occur. The station control unit also receives user/state inputs from remote control
(example: Interlock) and the RMM system (example: Warning lamp outputs). Configuration
selections on the TC 1216A board also affects the operation of the station control.

SECTION 2 TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION

The main functions of the TCA 1218C are performed by the station control (SC) part of the
transmitter control (TC). The SC takes care of the normal operating tasks like turning transmit-
ters on/off based on various inputs that may affect the transmitter status. The SC also has a
RMS interface enabling the RMM system to read the status of the SC and to illuminate warn-
ing lamps etc.

The terminator (TRM) part of the TC takes over and shuts the ILS down if the SC is not able to
operate as expected. The TRM shuts down the power to the transmitters approximately 1 sec-
ond after an alarm situation or interlock state has occurred.

The remote control interface processes serial data from/to the remote control. This unit also
detects and reports faults in data transmission with remote control. The data from the remote
control are sent to both SC and TRM.

The Transmitter control unit displays the transmitter status of the ILS. It also provides a user
interface, enabling the user to perform basic operations on the ILS.

SECTION 2 TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION

2.5 CI 1748A Connection Interface

The CI 1748A Connection Interface (CI) module unit provides a connection point for all signals
except RF signal and high current signals into to the ILS cabinet. The CI module is located in
the rear of the ILS cabinet. The CI module is used together with one or two PC 1749 modules
that handles the power input and associated signals.

The CI module is one circuit board with the following blocks.


• DME interface
• Analogue multiplexer
• USB to serial converter
• RS-232 drivers and receivers
• Micro controller
• Modem
• Shift registers
• LEDs
• Configuration
• Connectors

The main task of the CI module is to provide connection points for external signal for the ILS
cabinet. It interfaces the external signals (voltages) to levels that can be handled by the inter-
nal modules in the cabinet.

The Connection Interface also formats serial data to and from the remote control depending
on the configuration. The RC data to/from the TX control is always routed through the micro
controller on the CI module, and then to the internal or external modem. If configured, the
micro controller will include RMM data from the RMS and RC data in the same data stream. If
not configured, the RMM data will be routed to Remote 1. Depending on the configuration dif-
ferent formats on the data and bit rates will be selected.

Figure 2-7 RCA 7150B Front Panel

The RCA 1750B Remote Control Assembly consists of the RC 1752A Remote Control board
and RF 1752B Front Panel mounted and connected together.

It provides the user’s interface to the ILS Cabinet from the control tower or technical equip-
ment room. All interconnection is provided by the MB 1753A Backplane that can interface up
to 4 RCA 1750 assemblies.

The Remote Control unit’s purpose is to provide an interface for the ILS cabinet from the con-
trol tower (where normally a Slave Panel is located), or technical equipment room at the air-
port. The remote control provides the ILS cabinet with user inputs and selections and displays
the status of the ILS.

The Remote Control is communicating with the ILS cabinet via a serial link over a telephone
line using an integral modem in the Remote Control, or via an external modem. Inputs from
the front panel switches such as ON/OFF, Changeover and Access Grant and Interlock signal
from an operational runway direction selector are sent to the ILS cabinet (Transmitter Control)
and ILS status and other information is received and displayed on LED indicators or other out-

SECTION 2 TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION

The remote control system typically comprises the RCA 1750 Remote Control with MB 1753
Backplane described here, and SF 1344, SP 1394 or SP 1754 Slave Panel and IL 1379 or
IL 1380 Interlock Switch module to be located in the control tower. Other special panels/sys-
tems such as Category Status panel (CSU) and Runway Selector Unit (RSU) module can also
be connected.

In addition to providing the control signal interface between the ILS cabinet and the Remote
Control, the RCA 1750 can be configured to operate on protocols that combines the remote
control data and the RMM data for the RMS system over the same serial channel, thus saving
modem and line cost. This protocol is only available when the ILS cabinet is equipped with
Connection Interface CI 1748.

To permit that the RCA 1750 can be used with older types of ILS cabinet, other protocols can
be selected for interface with Connection Interface CI 1748 and Serial Interface SI 1618.

SECTION 2 TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION

2.7 Remote Monitoring System (RMS)

2.7.1 General Description

The Remote Monitoring System consists of a CPU-board located inside the main cabinet, with
several means of collecting data from both inside and outside the equipment. The RMS also
constitutes the operator interface, offering up to three RS 232 interfaces, and the Local Key-
board/Display. The main tasks are:
• Collection of executive monitor parameters and maintenance parameters
• Generation of system warnings
• Maintaining historical storages of all data
• ‘Snap-shot’ of all monitor and maintenance data immediately before alarm occurrence
• Setting of alarm limits and tx parameters
• Fault isolation
• Controlling the Local Keyboard/Display

The RMS SW comprises a resident part located in the ILS. It communicates with the RMM PC
program via dedicated lines or a MODEM. The PC SW is the main operator interface with the
ILS.

Data collection is facilitated in 3 different ways: A parallel high speed data bus offering both
read and write operations, a IIC-standard serial bus, and a set of 24 different ADC channels.

SECTION 2 TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION

2.7.2 PC and Modem

The main operator interface is locally or remotely connected personal computers, running
dedicated SW and communicating with the main cabinet resident SW via a dedicated proto-
col. The system facilitates three channels for PC connections. The Local channel can be con-
nected to a local PC by USB or a serial link. Remote channel 1 can be multiplexed with the
remote control data and transmitted to the Remote Control through internal or external leased
line modems. The remote PC can then be connected to the Remote Control shelf. Alterna-
tively, Remote 1 can be separately connected to a PC through external modems or a serial
link. Remote 2 can be connected to a PC through external leased line or dialup modems. In
addition, PCs can be connected via Ethernet. All PC’s can be logged on simultaneously, but
only one of them can have write access at a given point in time.

2.7.3 RMS Data bus

The main operation of the RMS parallel data bus is continuously to collect data from the
Monitor MO 1820A. Additional functions are setting of monitor alarm limits and delays on the
MO 1820A, setting of TX-parameters on LF-generator LF 1576A, and reading of system sta-
tus from the TX Control Assembly TCA 1218C. Writing of warning status to the TCA 1218C is
also done via the RMS data bus.

SECTION 2 TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION

2.7.4 Maintenance Data Collection

In order to facilitate fault isolation and presentation, several analog and digital measuring
points are distributed throughout the system. These points are primarily accessed via the IIC
serial bus. In addition, 24 ADC-channels are read directly into the RMA 1822A board.

Figure 2-10 The IIC Serial Bus and ADC Channels

The IIC serial bus collects digital status information from MF 1821A, MO 1820A, LF 1576A,
OS 1706 and the CI 1748 connection interface card. 6 of these are user configurable inputs/
outputs. The LF 1576 boards control one additional IIC bus each. These serial buses are used
for data collection and control of TX1 and TX2.

The ADC-channels are mainly used to measure power amplifier current consumptions, as well
as system voltages. These measurements are obtained from the Power Supply boards
PS 1227. In addition system current consumption, as well as several user configurable inputs,
are measured on the CI 1748 board.

2.7.5 Storage Functions

The ILS has flash EEPROM in the RMS subsystem (RMA 1822) board that is used to store
historical data. Four different types of historical data are stored:

Medium time periodic storage: One sample of all monitor and maintenance parameters stored
periodically at user specified intervals (see Medium time periodic settings). The storage con-
tains the last 96 samples.

Long time periodic storage: For every day through a 180 days period, the mean value and
standard deviation of all monitor and analogue maintenance parameters are stored.

Warning storage: One sample of all monitor and maintenance parameters at the instant when
a warning LED is activated. The 25 last warnings are stored.

Alarm storage: Samples of all monitor and maintenance parameters for a period starting from
Instruction Manual

30s before an alarm occurred and ending with the actual alarm sample. The last seven alarms
are stored in the ILS. Two alarms will be stored in the ILS for each alarm condition that results
in a transmitter changeover that is followed by a shutdown.

The time is configured in the Monitor settings window, on the “Integrity test” tab:

Text in event list in case the test fails: “IntTst: Mon dly fail”

Additional test result reporting:


• If any of the above tests fails the following event will also be stored in the event list:
“Shutdown Intgrt test FAILED”
• If none of the tests fails the event “Shutdown Intgrt test ok” will be stored
• The RMS generates the event “Shutdown Intgrt tst cancelled” if the integrity test is not
executed. This can occur if the user turns the equipment on again after less than 30
seconds

If the parameter warning LED has been configured to show Integrity Failure (ILS settings –
General Setting – System Options tab – “Signal integrity failure on Param LED”) and an
“Shutdown Intgrt test FAILED” occur, the only way to reset the LED is to turn the power of the
system off and back on again.

Figure 2-12 Dual Power Supply Functional Diagram

The 27V is regulated down to 15V, 8.5V and 5V. The transmitter power amplifiers are fed
directly from the 27V supply, while the rest of the system uses the regulated voltages.

Current measurements are done on the power supply, the battery and each power amplifier.
Each regulated voltage is measured in the PS 1227 module. The results are presented to the
user through the RMS system.

When the ILS signals are shut down, the power supply to the power amplifiers are actually
turned off by relays. This is controlled by the terminator alarm signal from the station control
section.

The backup battery is protected against deep discharge with a protection circuit. This circuit
disconnects the battery when the voltage drops below 22V.

A battery warning is given through the RMS system when the primary power supply (supplies)
fails.

NOTE: The TX1 and TX2 LEDs will remain on for up to 10 seconds with CAT I alarm delays. when the
ILS is turned off in AUTO mode. This is because the TX Control performs a monitor integrity
check. If the check fails the LEDs will stay on for 20-30 seconds, and an “integrity fail” event is
placed in the RMS event list. In MANUAL mode the LEDs are turned Off immediately, and no
integrity check is made.

SECTION 3 OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Activated by:
• No alarms present, and
• Communication with ILS is OK
• Blinking: ILS is on when the RC interlock input is off

3.2.5 Interlock Switch Operation

The interlock function is used when mutual exclusive operation on different ILS systems is
required. An active interlock for a station shall prevent transmission of ILS signals. The inter-
lock signal is connected to the remote control RC1241 and transmitted to the ILS through the
remote control connection.

The interlock function on the ILS is enabled/disabled from configuration settings on the
TC1216A. The rest of this chapter describes an ILS configured for interlock.

When an active ILS receives an active interlock signal, the ILS performs a shutdown. If the
interlock signal is deactivated, the ILS will automatically be turned on after a 20 second delay
period.

For maintenance purposes, an interlock override function has been implemented. This func-
tion makes it possible to operate the ILS locally in manual mode with an active interlock sig-
nal. To activate the interlock override function the following conditions must be met:
• LOCAL/REMOTE switch must be in LOCAL position,
• AUTO/MANUAL switch must be in MANUAL position and
• INTERLOCK OVERRIDE switch-lock must be set in horizontal position

The remote control will always be set in ALARM state when the interlock override function is
activated.

dations under a normal operational environment. The responsible Authority may have
requirements that replaces, modifies or comes in addition to the procedures given below.

4.1.1 On-site Performance Checks

Checks and procedures listed in Table 4-1 are required following initial installation, following
modification, or when corrective maintenance is performed, prior to returning the equipment to
service. Standards and tolerances for the procedure are listed in Table 4-1. The applicable
setup and test procedure is listed for convenient reference. Since most performance checks in
Section 4 are referenced to maintenance procedures, the section containing the maintenance
procedure is listed here.
Performance check and maintenance intervals may be adjusted in accordance with the user’s
policies and they may also be relaxed (except Monitor integrity tests) for equipment that has

SECTION 4 PERIODIC MAINTENANCE

4.1.2 Other On-Site Maintenance

Clean and inspect equipment, inspect batteries for corrosion, cracks, and other deterioration,
check and tighten RF and battery connections as required.

Check any installed environmental sensors and other equipment connected to user analog or
digital inputs for proper operation.

Check operation of interlocks, if installed. Check operation of remote controls if installed.

In addition, grass cutting, snow clearing and Flight inspection are parts of the preventive main-
tenances. Refer to Ch. 4.3 for grass cutting and snow removal and Ch. 4.4 for flight checks.

4.1.3 Off-Site Maintenance

All module and circuit board repair is to be performed off site, at the factory or authorized
repair depot. No modules are user-serviceable.

4.2 Periodic Maintenance CAT I, II and III

IMPORTANT:

No adjustments / alignments shall be done during a Periodic Maintenance.

The parameters should be recorded and compared with their nominal values only.

Over some time, the parameters may change due to natural variations. Variations of less than
50% of their alarm limits, are considered normal. If a parameter is changing more than 50% of
it's alarm limit, it is likely due to a discrepancy / degeneration of a module, cable, etc. In this
case, the reason for the discrepancy should be searched for. If the result calls for changing a
module, rephasing of cables, etc., a flight check is often required to verify that parameters are
inside operating tolerances.

All maintenance instruction items apply to CAT I and CAT II installations except where
(CAT III only) is denoted.

All instruction items apply to CAT III installations.

4.2.1 Quarterly Inspections (CAT I) / Monthly inspections (CAT II / CAT III)

4.2.4.12 Battery maintenance

For hot standby equipment, check both battery banks.

Check with digital voltmeter that the voltage across the battery terminals is approximately 26.6
Vdc. Record in Table 4-11 line a) the measured voltage.

Switch off the mains 220 V. After approximately 10 minutes battery operation with transmitter
to air check that the voltage across the battery terminals is not less than 23 V. Record in Table
4-11 line b) the voltage.

Switch back to mains 220 V. After 24 hours check that the battery terminal voltage is again
back approximately 26.6 Vdc. Record in Table 4-11 line c) the voltage. The 26,6 V can be
monitored from the RMM facility.

4.2.4.13 Harmonic content 90 and 150 Hz

Due to the construction principle of the LF tone generator, such checks (Annex 10 3.1.3.5.3 d/
e and 3.1.5.5.2 d/e) are done as a part of the system test in the factory, and are not required
by the equipment manufacturer as a Periodic Maintenance.

However, if such checks are required by the authority, the harmonic content can be measured
for each transmitter using a detector and a wave analyzer. The detected signal is feeding the
wave analyzer from which a value is obtained on a root mean square (RMS) calculation basis.
Other instruments as distortion factor meter or NAV Analyzer can also be used.

A third way to measure the harmonic is to use the built in measurements of the monitor. The
2nd and 3rd harmonics of the 90 and 150 Hz tones are measured by the monitor MO 1820A.
The measurements are listed in the RMM program and are only visible in MANUAL mode with
the standby transmitters OFF. The monitor measures the harmonic content on the DS and
CLR signals, which are a combination of CSB and SBO.

In regions with snow, the accumulation of snow in the BFA must be controlled. The maximum
allowable snow height within the BFA is 20 cm. To avoid unnecessary shut down of the facility,
the snow within the BFA should be removed before it reaches this level. No steep banks at the
area borders are allowed.

4.3.2.3 Snow removal on GP antenna elements

Accumulated wet snow on the radome could affect the signal and result in shut-down

Excessive amount of snow should be removed. If snow build-up on the antenna elements is a
recurring problem, a technique to remove snow from antenna surface is to fix a rope to the top
of GP tower, which runs in front of the antenna elements. Move, from ground, the rope to-and-
fro and hence get rid of antenna snow layers

4.4 Flight Checks

4.4.1 Flight Check Requirements

The purpose of Flight Checks, together with adequate monitoring, ground testing and mainte-
nance on a routine and continuing basis, is to ensure that the ILS signal in space performs
within the specified tolerances and that the operational integrity and serviceability of the ILS
facility is maintained. The specific purpose of flight-testing is to confirm the correctness of
essential signal in space parameters and to determine the operational safety and acceptance
of the installation.

Flight Checks are primarily carried out the first time an ILS installation is put into operation,
and thereafter on a regular basis.

The National flight check procedures are normally based on one of the two following docu-
ments:
• ICAO DOC 8071 Manual on testing of radio navigation aids
• FAA Order 8200.1C U.S. Standard Flight Inspection Manual

These two documents have slightly different requirements for some few parameters (LOC
coverage, GP course sector etc.). In addition where the ICAO document only specifies the
requirements for the parameters the FAA document specifies exactly how to flight check them.

This chapter uses the ICAO DOC 8071 as references since the majority of the Civil Aviation
Authorities in the world are using that document.

4.4.2 Scenarios that may require Flight Check


1. After any change, repair or modification of transmitter hardware that requires adjust-
ment of modulation balance, modulation depth (SDM), SBO phase, SBO amplitude,
output RF-level or Clearance audio phase
2. After any change, repair or modification of the antenna system including the Antenna
Distribution Unit (ADU) and coax cabling that may alter the radiated signal
3. After any change, repair or modification of the monitor hardware including the Monitor
Combining Unit (MCU) and coax cabling, unless there is no doubt as to the perfor-
mance of the monitor system. Monitor alarms must in any case be verified

Generally speaking, any incident, change, repair or modification that can change the signal in
space or the operation of the monitoring system may require Flight Check before the system
can be put into operation again.

4.4.3 The different types of Flight Check

There are a number of different types of Flight Checks:


1. Commissioning
Comprehensive Flight Check carried out before an ILS installation is published for
operational use. All flights are included in this check
Instruction Manual

2. Annual
A Flight Check performed once a year within a specified time interval. This Flight

73892-I4/Rev.3/05-Apr-17 NORMARC 7011B-7034B

SECTION 4 PERIODIC MAINTENANCE

inspection is more comprehensive than a Routine Flight Check but less comprehen-
sive than a Commissioning check
3. Routine
A Flight Check carried out on a regular interval based upon the category and perfor-
mance history of the facility. The interval varies but is typically 120 days ±30 days
when the system is normal. It is often increase to 180 days ±30 days when the perfor-
mance history shows a stable system.
4. Special
A Flight Check due to special circumstances, e.g. major equipment modifications,
repair, reported of suspected malfunctions, etc.
5. Site selection
A Flight Check conducted to determine the suitability of a proposed site for the perma-
nent installation of an ILS facility

4.4.4 Pre Flight Check procedures

Carry out the ground checks in [reference 4.4.6.3.1, 4.4.6.3.2, 4.4.7.3.1 and 4.4.7.3.2].

4.4.5 Post Flight Check procedures

After completion of a Flight Check, all data should be recorded in a suitable document.

height that correspond to the GP angle
• Approach on centreline
• Approach on half / full course sector

4.4.6.3 LOC alignment

Before the Flight Check starts, all necessary tools, instruments, equipment and Data record-
ing forms shall be present.

4.4.6.3.1 Confirm modulation balance and depth

Objective: To ensure that the carrier is modulated by equal amounts of 90 Hz and 150 Hz.

For a two-frequency system this check must be done separately on the course and clearance
transmitter.

• ICAO DOC8071 states that "Recommended means of mea-


surement is ground check"

Ground Check (Recommended):


• Turn on the transmitter to be checked
• Connect the PIR to the CSB course or Clearance front panel jack of the cabinet as
appropriate
• If the reading of the PIR is outside the requirement, adjust the DDM and/or the SDM of
the transmitter in the Flight check window
• Record the PIR readings

Flight Check (Optional):

Configure the transmitter to be checked to

4.4.6.3.2 Adjust Global Phasing (CSB/SBO phase)

• Use ground check, ICAO DOC8071 states: "Optional, at the


request of the ground technician, unless good correlation
between airborne and ground phasing techniques has not
been established.”

Objective: Verify that the SBO phase to that of the CSB signal is optimum adjusted.

This test is in most cases carried out on the ground.

Ground Check (Recommended)


• Switch OFF the clearance transmitter
• Connect the PIR to the test connector in the ADU (See Localizer section 5.2.4.3)
• In Flight Check window adjust COU SBO phase (associated with TX to air) to
obtain 0.0% DDM reading
• Repeat the phasing procedure for the other transmitter
• Switch OFF the course transmitter
• With the clearance transmitter ON repeat the phasing procedure, now adjusting
the CLR SBO phase associated with TX to air

Flight Check (Optional)

The check should be performed on both transmitters, Course and Clearance separately. The
transmitter under test is configured to radiate CSB and SBO in quadrature (90° stub in SBO).

Flight profile

The recommended sampling area for the airborne phasing check is at an approach flight
between 10 NM and Point "A" on the ¼ course edge.

A clearance arc while in quadrature may also be performed to confirm proper phasing.
• In Flight Check window, click the "Insert/remove 90° stub" button so that the text
reads, "COU SBO 90° stub is inserted" for the appropriate transmitter.
• If instructed by the plane, adjust the COU SBO phase until correct signal has been
achieved

• If adjustment is necessary, the course


sector is adjusted by changing the
SBO level for the transmitter under
test in the Flight Check window.

Objective: Determine the Glide Path structure and if Glide Path on-course signal coincides
with the surveyed angle. Modulation of navigational tones is also checked. If necessary, Glide
Path angle will be adjusted.

Flight Check setup

The transmitter under test shall be radiating normal.

The Monitors are bypassed, i.e. Manual/Auto set to Manual.

Flight Profile:

Commencing from the appropriate evaluation point A, fly inbound on the extended runway
centreline to the threshold. Maintain a track as close to centreline as possible.

Figure 4-31 Flight profile - GP angle

If Glide Path angle is out of tolerance, the angle is adjusted by changing the heights of the
antennas. Higher antennas - lower angle; lower antennas - higher angle.

Simulation software should be used to calculate how much the antennas should be moved.

Alt.1:

If a proper site survey has been carried out and the forward slope, sideway slope of the terrain
have been calculated using simulation software, the parameter of greatest uncertainty is the
height from the lower antenna to the average reflection plane. In this case it is recommended
to move all three antennas the same amount until the correct angle is achieved.

Alt. 2:

If there are any uncertainties of the forward slope, sideway slope of the terrain antenna 1
(lower) should be moved 1/3, antenna 2 (middle) 2/3 and antenna 3 (upper) 3/3.

Rule of thumb (for M-array): 15 cm change of height of antenna 1 (lower) corresponds approx.
to a 0.1º change in angle.

Example: To change from an angle of 2.9° to 3.0°, lower antenna must be moved down 15 cm,

SECTION 5 CORRECTIVE MAINTENANCE

5 Section 5 Corrective Maintenance

5.1 Overview

This section contains procedures for locating and replacing faulty Line Replaceable Units
(LRU).

5.2 Diagnostic functions

5.2.1 General description

If the LOC or GP fails, the RMM software should be used to locate the faulty LRU.

The RMM software can perform two types of diagnostic tests based on the measurements
made available by the embedded RMS software in the NORMARC 7000B cabinet:
1. “Current data diagnostics”. The diagnose is here based on live data received from an
connected ILS rack or based on historical data sets (snap shots) of measurements
previously stored to disk
2. Alarm event diagnostics”. This diagnostics function attempts to report the cause of a
transmitter changeover or a changeover/shutdown situation. The diagnose is based on
a particular alarm event in the event list and the corresponding measurements in an
alarm storage that will be downloaded from the rack

The diagnostic tests are based on passive reading of various measurement points inside the
NORMARC 70XXB cabinet and the data from the executive monitors. No special signals need
to be injected for the algorithms to work (although the transmitters must be turned on).

The operator needs to be logged in at access level 1 to perform a Current data diagnostics
and an Alarm event diagnostics. Since only access level 1 is required, the diagnostics tests
can therefore be performed locally or from a remote location using a modem connection.

5.2.2 Current data diagnostics

The Current data diagnostics is invoked by selecting the ILS | Current data diagnostics menu
item in the RMM software.

There are two typical cases in which the current data diagnostics function may be used:
1. On an operative ILS system, on which a warning situation is indicated. In this case the
current data diagnostics can be used to quickly find the cause of the warning without
taking the system out of service
2. In manual mode after a transmitter changeover or shutdown situation (monitor alarm).
The system can then be set to transmit on air, and the current data diagnostics used to
locate the module that is causing the monitor alarms

For detailed information about the algorithms used in the automatic Current data diagnostics,
refer to Section 5.4.3.

SECTION 5 CORRECTIVE MAINTENANCE

5.2.3 Alarm event diagnostics

The RMS subsystem in the NORMARC 7000B cabinet continuously reads data sets from
monitor 1, 2 and the standby monitor. The last 30 seconds of data are stored in an internal ring
buffer. This buffer is partitioned in groups with different sampling periods:
• For the last 2 seconds, 10 data sets are stored each second for monitor 1 and 2.
Standby monitor data sets are stored at ¼ of this frequency
• For the last 10 seconds, one data set is stored each second
• For the last 30 seconds, monitor 1, 2, standby and maintenance data are stored every
5th second

When a changeover or shutdown alarm occurs the RMS does the following:
1. Stores the ring buffer with the last 30 seconds of monitor and maintenance data from
before the alarm in an internal alarm storage buffer. This buffer resides in non-volatile
RAM
2. Places an changeover or shutdown alarm event in the event list. This event includes
alarm state information for each monitor-channel. This information is used by the RMM
software for diagnosing the alarm event

The RMS keeps the seven most recent alarm storage buffers. A changeover-only situation fills
one alarm storage buffer, while a changeover with subsequent shutdown situation uses two
alarm storage buffers.

No alarm storage buffers will be saved if the equipment is in service mode when the alarm
occurs. (Service mode is activated by any of the following switches: Local, Manual, Write Pro-
tect disable, Interlock Override and the Access Grant enable switch on the Remote Control.)

The data in the buffers can be downloaded by the RMM software when a user initiates an
alarm event diagnostics (if the data is not already downloaded), and used in the diagnostic
algorithms described in the following sections.

The operator initiates an alarm event diagnostics by first selecting a changeover or shutdown
alarm in the Event List and then selects the “Event diagnostics” button.

Once the alarm storage has been downloaded it is also possible to display the individual sam-
ples. This method can be used, in addition to the automatic diagnostic function, to find the
cause of changeover or shutdown alarms.

For information on how to download and display historical data see Appendix D.

For detailed information about the algorithms used in the automatic Alarm event diagnostics,
refer to Section 5.4.4.

5.2.4 Manual fault diagnosis

Should the automatic diagnostic functions fail or give misleading results, manual diagnosis
using external measurement equipment can be performed.

SECTION 5 CORRECTIVE MAINTENANCE

5.3 LRU change procedures

5.3.1 Replacing units

When replacing any faulty module(s), please follow this procedure:


• Make sure the ILS configuration file from the last flight check is available if one of the
following boards need to be replaced: MO 1820, LF 1576, or RMA 1822
• Make a print report of the monitor and maintenance values to document what the key
parameters were before the faulty module(s) was/were changed
• Power down the system
• Make sure you are wearing an ESD chain that is connected to either the ILS cabinet or
some other grounded point
• Replace the faulty module
• Power up the system
• Perform necessary adjustments for the unit in question; please refer to Section 5.3.2-
5.3.9
• Check the Monitor and Maintenance parameters, make a new printout and compare
with the printed report made when the system was operating normally

Due to the complexity of the boards and the major use of SMD components we do not recom-
mend trying to repair modules at site unless specially skilled personnel with extensive experi-
ence in repair techniques and the necessary repair equipment is present.

The ILS cabinet is modularly built up to make it possible to change smaller parts of the system
at a relatively low cost.

5.3.2 MO 1820 / MF 1821 replacement

PREPARATIONS:

By using a PIR (NORMARC 7710), check that all monitor inputs (CL, DS, NF, CLR) to the cab-
inet are correct. Compare the measurements with previously taken measurements.

Make a note of the values.

Check and note the version numbers of the firmware in the FPGA. This can be done in the
RMM program from menu ILS Settings-Monitoring-Monitor Configuration.

If possible, save the configuration of the modules to be replaced. If the module(s) to be


replaced is out of service and configuration cannot be downloaded, get hold of the latest con-
figuration file that was downloaded from the cabinet.

Power down the system and remove old unit(s). Insert new unit(s). All potentiometers are fac-
tory adjusted and shall normally never be touched.

Set the ILS in MANUAL and LOCAL mode. Power up the system.
Instruction Manual

Log on to the ILS with the RMM program in access level 3 or higher.

SECTION 5 CORRECTIVE MAINTENANCE

Factory mode

In the RMM program go to the Preferences menu and set Factory mode. This is necessary in
order to do some of the adjustments.

RF-level unit

There are no hardware adjustments for RF-level.

Any software adjustment for RF-level is easiest carried out by using dB as unit. In the RMM-
program set the RF-unit to dB from the menu ILS Settings-General-System Options.
If preferred, switch back to Volt after adjustment has finished.

ADJUSTMENT

Use the latest downloaded configuration file and upload the configuration for the monitors in
question.

Instruction Manual

73892-I5/Rev.2/05-Apr-17 NORMARC 7011B-7034B

© Indra Navia AS Page 5-4


SECTION 5 CORRECTIVE MAINTENANCE

If the configuration file used is a valid file quite recently downloaded from the cabinet, most of
the monitor settings should now be correct without any further need for adjustment.

However the software adjustment for RF-level should be carried out. Please see the "RF level
adjustment" section in the step-by-step adjustment procedure in Chapter 7.7

If only an old configuration file exists or no configuration file are available, the monitor has to
be adjusted from scratch as described in Chapter 7.7 Monitor Alignment

CHECK:

Verify that all monitor readings are normal.


Verify that all monitor maintenance readings are normal.

5.3.3 PS 1227 replacement

PREPARATIONS:

Power down system. Remove old unit and place the new unit in the vacant slot.

ADJUSTMENT:

No adjustments are necessary.

CHECK:

System: Remove the other PS 1227 unit. Power up the system. Turn transmit-
ters on and set the correct transmitter to air (Transmitter 1 to check
Power supply 1). Check the monitor readings to verify correct transmit-
ter behaviour.

Maintenance: Power down the ILS, re-insert the other PS 1227 unit, and power up
again. Check the RMM maintenance readings of the PS 1227 system
voltages; check both power supplies.

SECTION 5 CORRECTIVE MAINTENANCE

5.3.4 RF Oscillator replacement

5.3.4.1 OS 1706 replacement

PREPARATIONS:

Power down system. Remove old unit. Write down the strap settings of the old OS 1706A
(LOC) or OS 1706B (GP) card and make sure the new card is identically configured. Please
refer to 7.10.1 to verify the frequency selection. If an illegal combination of strap positions is
set the error LED will light when the power is turned on.

Note: That for improved TX1/TX2 channel isolation, OS 1706 #2 shall be set up with the COU/CLR
frequency offsets reversed by inserting configuration strap #8 (COU below nominal channel fre-
quency, CLR above nominal channel frequency)

ADJUSTMENT:

The frequency of the RF output signal is factory adjusted. To adjust the frequency turn off the
90, 150, and 1020 Hz modulation tones using the RMM program, measure the RF frequency
at the CSB outlet at the front of the ILS cabinet and adjust the pot meters in front of the mod-
ule. The upper potentiometer adjusts the CLR carrier and the lower the COU carrier.

The frequency deviations shall be less than 1kHz from the operating frequency.

Note! When the module is put in TX2 position the frequency is by intention shifted an additional
+300Hz (LOC) 900Hz (GP) downwards to avoid frequency beating between TX1 and TX2 in
hot standby systems.

Remember to turn on the modulation tones after the adjustment is finished.

CHECK:

Use the RMM program to check the maintenance parameters for the OS module.

5.3.5 TCA 1218 replacement

PREPARATIONS:

Power down system. Remove old unit.

ADJUSTMENT:

Make sure that all configuration straps (U6 and U13) are set as on the previous module. The
best way to do this is to exchange the U6 and U13 component platforms.

Compare the version numbers of the EPROM- and FPGA units on the board. Make sure the
new unit contains the same EPROM and FPGA versions.

CHECK:
Instruction Manual

Start up: Check that the ILS front panel display shows the correct equipment
setting (e.g. NORMARC 7013B Two-frequency Localizer).

tion. Use RMM software to switch off the 90 Hz tones of both main
transmitters. Observe that a changeover, and after a while a shutdown
takes place.

For more extensive integrity testing of the monitors, please refer to Section 4.

5.3.6 RMA 1822

5.3.6.1 RMA 1822 Battery replacement

Battery replacement may lead to loss of the historical information (alarm log, medium time log,
long time log and event list) stored in the cabinet. The real time clock of the cabinet may also
be lost.

NO CRITICAL SETTINGS/CONFIGURATIONS ARE LOST.

To avoid loss of any historical information download this to the computer BEFORE changing
the battery.

If the battery is changed in less than 15 sec. loss of historical information and real time clock is
normally avoided.

PREPARATIONS:

Download all historical information (Alarm log, medium and long time log.). The events from
the cabinet are automatically downloaded when you connect to the cabinet.

Get hold of a new battery. Power down the system. Pull out the RMA 1822 module. Change
battery.

ADJUSTMENT:

After power up, log in as MASTER and check the real time clock of the cabinet [ILS settings –
General... – Date/time]. If necessary change the time.

Warning Lithium Battery Safety Hazard

Cabinet contains a Lithium Battery coin type CR2032 located on board RM 1823.
Replace only with CR2032 type battery and install with spring touching the back side of
the - pole.
Following precautions for Safe Handling and Use of Lithium Batteries should be noted:
Do not disassemble, crush, expose to fire or high temperatures/sunlight

5.4.3 Current data diagnostics

The following sub-sections describes the tests performed by the RMM software for current
data diagnostics. All diagnostic solutions detected are recorded and presented to the opera-
tor. If a diagnostic solution is found to be the result of more than one test, the solution that is
the result of most tests will be listed first.

5.4.3.1 I2C read error on any board implies a failure on that board

If a board is reported with “ERROR” status there is probably a fault on this board. “ERROR”
indicates that the RMS does not detect valid I2C-bus acknowledge signals from the board
when attempting to read its maintenance data. All boards, except the TX Control board, in the
NORMARC 70XXB cabinet have an I2C-interface to the RMS board.

Note: If several boards are indicated with “ERROR” status, the problem may be a faulty I2C interface
on the RMS board, or any of the boards may have a “stuck-at” error on the I2C bus signals. If
both the COU and CLR transmitters are instructed with “ERROR” status, the problem may be a
faulty I2C interface or RMS bus communication with the corresponding LF generator board.

5.4.3.2 Maintenance parameter warnings

5.4.3.2.1 External power supply tests

DIAGNOSTIC ALGORITHM:

If there is a maintenance warning indication (Battery Warning) for the external Power Supply,
there is a problem with the 27V supply (output), the rectifier modules or the system is on bat-
tery operation (mains fail).

Depending on the configuration of the alarm outputs on the Power Supply, the Battery Warn-
ing will normally be indicated in case of 2 or more of the redundant rectifier modules in operat-
ing parallel are failing. An optional output can be wired to the ILS cabinet, and will provide a
warning if only one of the rectifier modules is failing in which case the Power Supply is fully
operational but with some reduction in output power headroom. Normally this alarm is wired to
User I/O channel 2 for BC 1361H and User I/O Channel 2 and 3 for BC 1361J.

5.4.3.2.2 Power supply 1 and 2 tests

DIAGNOSTIC ALGORITHM:
1. If there is a maintenance warning indication on power supply 1 and not on power sup-
ply 2, or vice versa, there is a fault on the power supply which has the warning
2. If there is a maintenance warning on both power supply boards AND not on the exter-
nal power module both power supplies are faulty

SECTION 5 CORRECTIVE MAINTENANCE

5.4.3.2.3 Maintenance warnings without follow-errors

DIAGNOSTIC ALGORITHM:

A maintenance warning on a board listed in the following table indicates that there is a fault on
that board.

Board
LF generator 1 or 2
Oscillator 1 or 2
RMS board
Monitor 1 or 2
TX Control board
User defined inputs

5.4.3.2.4 Power amplifier tests

DIAGNOSTIC ALGORITHM:

Warnings on a PA implies PA failure if there is no warning or error on the corresponding OS or


LF.

DESCRIPTION:

The algorithm assumes that a warning indication on any of the measurements on a PA means
there is a failure on this PA, if the corresponding OS and LF have no maintenance warning
indications. (A fault on the OS and LF may cause a warning on the PA.)

5.4.3.2.5 Monitor 1 and 2 front-end tests

DIAGNOSTIC ALGORITHM:

Warning on monitor front-end 1 implies monitor front-end 1 failure if there is no warning on


monitor front-end 2 and vice versa.

DESCRIPTION:

The maintenance measurements from the monitor front-end boards will be affected by the
monitor input signals, i.e. the diagnostic algorithm can not use these measurements alone to
reliably diagnose fault on the monitor front-end boards. The algorithm assumes that both
front-ends are fed the same input signals. If a maintenance warning then exists on one, but
not both of the boards, this board is assumed to be faulty. If maintenance warnings exists on
both boards no knowledge is gained about monitor front-end health status.

SECTION 5 CORRECTIVE MAINTENANCE

5.4.3.2.6 Remote control tests

DIAGNOSTIC ALGORITHM:

If there is a “RC link status” warning, there is a problem with the remote control or its data link.

DESCRIPTION:

A warning on the RC link status indicates that the TXC does not receive valid data from the
remote control unit.

5.4.3.2.7 Transmitter control tests

DIAGNOSTIC ALGORITHM:

TX control “EPROM check” or “Integrity check” warnings indicate a failure on the TXC board.

5.4.3.2.8 Standby monitor tests

DIAGNOSTIC ALGORITHM:

If there is a warning on the standby monitor board this board is faulty.

5.4.3.2.9 Standby monitor front-end tests

DIAGNOSTIC ALGORITHM:

If there is a warning on the standby monitor front-end board AND there is no warning or alarm
indication on the standby monitor measurements then the standby monitor front-end board is
faulty.

5.4.3.2.10 User defined parameters

DIAGNOSTIC ALGORITHM:

If there is a warning on any of the user defined inputs then “User defined input” is faulty.

5.4.3.3 Monitor self-test error

DIAGNOSTIC ALGORITHM:

Monitor self-test failure indicates an error on the monitor board that reports this failure.

5.4.3.4 Monitor DC-loop alarm

DIAGNOSTIC ALGORITHM:
Instruction Manual

If both monitor 1 AND monitor 2 reports DC-loop alarms or warnings the antenna has a broken
element.

5.4.4 Alarm event diagnostics

5.4.4.1 Changeover without shutdown

The flow diagram in Figure 5-10 describes the algorithm used to diagnosing a changeover
alarm that is not followed by a shutdown alarm. The RMM software uses the maximum config-
ured monitor alarm delay to determine whether a changeover alarm is followed by a shut-
down. If no shutdown alarm event occurred within the maximum configured alarm delay after
the changeover alarm event this algorithm will be used.

7.2.2 Power and Battery

7.2.2.1 BC 1361K/L

This description applies to the following versions:


• BC 1361K: 960W charger system using 4 rectifier modules, single mains, single bat-
tery bank (not part of the BC1361 unit) and one set of interconnection cables. One BC
1361K is used for cold standby systems.
• BC 1361L: 720W charger system using 3 rectifier modules, single mains, single bat-
tery bank (not part of the BC1361 unit) and one set of interconnection cables. Two
BC 1361Ls are used for hot standby systems.

BC 1361K and L are identical except for the number of rectifier modules operating in parallel,
and the configuration file uploaded to the controller modules. This installation procedure will
refer to the installation of a single BC 1361K. For hot standby systems, follow the same proce-
dure for charger #2.

Cabinet mounting

The charger cabinet is mounted on the ILS wall mount, under the ILS cabinet:

HBK 2155-1

Figure 7-7 BC 1361K on wall mount

Assembly and Interconnection

All cables (except mains) and power supply modules inside the charger are installed by the
factory. In order to connect the mains cable, the cover has to be removed to gain access to the
connection terminals.
Instruction Manual

To prevent damage to during transport, two foam inserts are mounted in the charger. These
foam inserts must be removed before the charger is connected to mains power. Failure to do
so will prevent the necessary convection cooling of the rectifier modules

7.2.8.3 DME as Ident Master

In some installations, it may be necessary to use the DME as ident master.

If the DME shall be used as ident master, connect as shown in Figure 7-21. In the RMM pro-
gram, ILS settings / Transmitter settings, DME interface tab (see Appendix D), set DME as
master and DME active signal to OPEN. The IDENT TYPE can be set to CODE or PULSE. If
set to CODE, the LOC will receive the Morse code envelope from the DME. If set to PULSE,
the LOC will radiate its own programmed Morse code when it receives a start pulse from the
DME. If the LOC does not receive any ident signal for approximately 20 seconds, the LOC will
start to transmit its own programmed Morse code. When the DME signal returns, the LOC will
start to transmit the DME code instantaneously.

7.2.8.4 LOC as Ident Master via Remote Controls (Indra)

7.2.8.4.1 Via LOC-GP Remote Control

LOCALIZER SHELTERLOCALIZER SHELTER

NORMARC 7000B Localizer:

Connect a PC to the Localizer cabinet and use the RMM program to set the Localizer to be
the “Ident Keying Master” and to send the Ident as a “Pulse”, not as “Code” (Transmitter set-
tings > DME interface > Keying master: LOC, and Ident type: Pulse).

On the motherboard of the Localizer cabinet (MB 1575), insert jumper “S11”.

This will transfer the Ident Sync Pulse from the LOC (AUX_RI_IN2) to the Remote Control
(AUX_RC_OUT2).

TECHNICAL ROOM

NORMARC Remote Control:

On the motherboard of the Remote Control (MB 1753), there is a D-sub connector which is
common for station 1 (LOC) and station 2 (GP). On this D-sub connector “P14”, make a con-
nection (loop) from pin no. 10 (LOC AUX_RC_1_OUT2) to pin no. 15 (GP AUX_RC_2_IN2).
This will transfer the Ident Sync Pulse from LOC to GP.

Configuration of RCA1750 for Localizer:

Due to that the Indra DME is trigging on the falling edge, the trigger pulse from the Localizer
has to be inverted. This can be done by setting strap “S32“(CFG_AUX2_OUTPUT_INVERT)
on the Localizer RCA 1750.

GLIDE PATH / DME SHELTER

NORMARC 7000B Glide Path:

Make a 2-wire cable to transfer the Ident Sync Pulse from the Glide Path cabinet to the DME
cabinet.

On the motherboard of the Glide Path cabinet (MB 1575), connect the cable to the connector
“P15”, pin no. 7 (AUX_RI_OUT2) and pin no. 10 (GND).

Indra DME LDB-103:

On the NMP/EIU unit of Indra DME, connect the 2-wire cable to the D-sub connector “Ident
In/Out”, pin no. 2 (Ident In) and pin no. 10 (GND).

This will make the DME receive the Ident Sync Pulse coming from the Localizer (via the RC
and the GP motherboard).

7.2.8.4.2 Via LOC- DME Remote Control

When DME uses RTU 1874 as Remote Control interface and RCA 1750 as a Remote Control,
keying can be configured as described here.

LOCALIZER SHELTER

NORMARC 7000B Localizer:

Connect a PC to the Localizer cabinet and use the RMM program to set the Localizer to be
the “Ident Keying Master” and to send the Ident as a “Pulse”, not as “Code” (Transmitter set-
tings > DME interface > Keying master: LOC, and Ident type: Pulse).

On the motherboard of the Localizer cabinet (MB 1575), insert jumper “S11”.

This will transfer the Ident Sync Pulse from the LOC (AUX_RI_IN2) to the Remote Control
(AUX_RC_OUT2).

TECHNICAL ROOM

NORMARC Remote Control:

On the motherboard of the Remote Control (MB 1753), there is a D-sub connector which is
common for station 1 (LOC) and station 2 (GP) – D-sub connector “P14”, and one that is com-
mon for station 3 (DME) and station 4 (Spare) – D-sub connector “P15”.

If the DME remote control is in the third position in the remote control shelf:

Make a connection from “P14” pin no. 10 (LOC AUX_RC_1_OUT2) to “P15” pin no. 4 (DME
AUX_RC_3_IN2). This will transfer the Ident Sync Pulse from LOC to DME.

If the DME remote control is in the fourth position in the remote control shelf:

Make a connection from “P14” pin no. 10 (LOC AUX_RC_1_OUT2) to “P15” pin no. 15 (DME
AUX_RC_4_IN2). This will transfer the Ident Sync Pulse from LOC to DME.

Configuration of RCA 1750 for Localizer:

Due to that the Indra DME is trigging on the falling edge, the trigger pulse from the Localizer

7.2.9 Analog Inputs

7.2.9.1 General Description

The analog inputs are connected to the Connection Interface board CI 1748A as illustrated in
Figure 7-27

The inputs are:


• ANALOG CH.1-3 - three single ended DC analog inputs

Maximum voltage: ±15V


Input impedance: 10kOhms.
• TINDOOR, TOUTDOOR - temperature measurement inputs with interface to an LM35
temperature sensor
Maximum voltage: ±15V.
Input impedance: 10kOhms
• AC LEVEL - AC level measurement input. Intended for use with a battery eliminator

SECTION 7 INSTALLATION AND INITIAL SET-UP

7.2.9.2 Analog user inputs (CH.1-CH.3) details

Connectors: ANALOG CH.1, 2 and 3 on CI 1748A.

Input signal on pin 1, GND on pin 2 and 4.

Max input voltage relative to GND is ±15 V (zener diodes will clamp the signal if this limit is
exceeded).

Theoretically, full-scale positive is achieved by applying approx. +32 V, this would give a read-
ing = 2047 when scale=1 and offset=0. Fullscale negative approx.: -32 V (gives a reading of -
2048 when scale=1 and offset=0).

However, the full resolution of the A/D converter cannot be utilized in single ended mode since
the maximum input voltage relative to GND is ±15V, limiting the readings to approx. ±1000.

Read-out value = Ax + B

where

A is the “scale” value configured in the RMM “Analog user parameter” setup window,

B is the “offset” value configured in the RMM “Analog user parameter” setup window,

x is the 12 bit binary representation of the input voltage.

SECTION 7 INSTALLATION AND INITIAL SET-UP

7.2.13 Remote control connections

The remote control is connected to the corresponding ILS either by leased lines using the built
in modem or by line or fiber using COTS modems connected to the RS232 interface available.
The connectors for leased line and the RS232 signals for the COTS modems are available on
the MB 1753 remote control motherboard and on the CI 1748 connection interface in the ILS
cabinet. These are shown in Table 7-1 and Table 7-2. Since the MB 1753 provides interface
for up to four remote controls, there are also four pairs of connectors, one pair for each ILS
cabinet (see 7.2.1.14 for pinout).

Select the same protocol on CI 1748 and RCA 1750, reference tables Table 7-15. Normally
Protocol 1 is used for internal modems, and Protocol 2 is used for external modems.

7.2.15 Connecting Markers or DME to OPT inputs

The OPT1 (J12) connector on MB 1753/MB1801 can be used as inputs and outputs for the
slave panel SP 1754. This allows status and on/off signals from marker beacons and DME to
be connected to the Remote control sub-rack and transferred to the SP 1754 slave panel. Sig-
nals on the OPT_RC_1_INx/OUTx will be sent to position 4 on the slave panel, while signals
on the OPT_RC_2_INx/OUTx will be sent to position 3 on the slave panel. General configura-
tion information is given in 7.3.8.4.

This chapter gives examples for use with Marker Beacons and Fernau 2020 DME.

Marker Beacons

When Marker Beacons are used, the RFA 1766C remote sub-rack should be used. It contains
one MB 1801 motherboard for the LOC and GP remotes (RCA 1750) and two MB 1346 moth-
erboards for Middle Marker and Outer Marker remotes (RCA 1240).

The slave outputs P3 of the MB 1346 motherboards can then be connected to J12 on MB
1801 by the cable shown in Figure 7-37. Switch settings on SP 1754 are shown in Table 7-3

SECTION 7 INSTALLATION AND INITIAL SET-UP

A remote control sub-rack and a slave panel belonging to the same runway end on the CAN
bus must have the same address. On the remote control sub-rack, the address is set by the
rotary switch SW1. On the slave panel, the address is set by the DIP switches AD0 - AD2.
Refer to Table 7-17. The valid address range is 0-7. If more than one remote control shelf is
connected to the same bus, each shelf must have a different address. Often, the most practi-
cal solution is to use separate buses for each runway end. The smaller MB 1801 remote con-
trol motherboard has an additional strap P19, 7-8. When it is open, the motherboard address
correspond to the two left-most slots in the MB 1753, and when the strap is inserted it corre-
sponds to the two right-most slots.

Up to 10 slave panels can be connected to the same remote control shelf; however only one
slave can control interlock, refer to 7.3.8.4.

The CAN bus shall have a linear topology with the units connected along the cable. Both ends
shall be terminated by a 120 ohm resistor. Twisted pair cable shall be used. According to the
CAN specification, the cable shall have a characteristic impedance of 120Ω; however in prac-
tice normal Cat5 network cable is widely used. The maximum bus length is 500m, and drop
cables to units shall be less than 2m, refer to Figure 7-42. If more than one slave is used, the
connection can either be daisy-chain style with CAN out on one panel connected to CAN in on
the next, or drop cables can be connected to CAN in on each slave

Note that the remote control sub-rack does not need to be at one end of the bus; in some con-
figurations it may be more practical to put the sub-rack in the middle, and use the two ends to
reach different slave locations.

All units have built in termination resistors. On the MB 1753/MB 1801 motherboard in the
remote control sub-rack, the termination resistor is connected by strap P22. On SP 1754, the
termination resistor is connected by strap S6, just below the "CAN OUT" connector. The
straps are normally inserted and must be removed on units that are not at the ends of the bus.

Power to the slaves is normally supplied from the remote control sub-rack by connecting the
GND, CAN_GND and CAN_V+ lines to the remote control sub-rack. However, if the distance
is more than 200m for s single slave panel, a separate power supply shall be used at the slave
panel position. If more than one slave panel is used on one CAN bus, the approximate maxi-
mum length without a local power supply is given by the formula:

Cable length (m) = 200/(number of slave panels)

7.2.19 Remote Control Auxiliary Channels

The Remote Control system has 3 uncommitted digital signals in each direction. These can be
used to transmit additional status and control signals between the remote control and equip-
ment rack. Please note that if the signals are connected to external equipment such as other
navaids or intrusion alarms, relays or optocouplers shall be used to provide a galvanic barrier.
For a number of purposes the NORMARC SK 1470 kit is suitable.

The signals are available on MB 1575, P15 in the ILS rack, and on MB 1753, P14 and P15 or
MB 1801, P14 in the remote control.

Also refer to 7.2.14, P14 and P15.

Note 3:

“1-2” means strap connected between Pin1 and centre pin, “2-3” means strap connected
between centre pin and Pin 3. S1 to S4 must be in the same position.

Note 4:

On cabinets that uses the RMA 1822A board the unit LR 1610A, that used to be mounted on
the right side on the front of the cabinet (giving a Local Port for RMM connection on the ILS
front), is no longer normally installed. The straps S1-S4 will therefore have no function on these
cabinets and should always be connected between pin 1-2.

7.3.3 Resetting Master Password

Strap 10 is used for resetting the Master Password in case this has been lost. The procedure
is as follows:
• Power rack off
• Insert a temporary link for strap 10 on the configuration-block U6 on the TCA 1218
board
• Reinsert TCA 1218
• Power rack on
• Wait till you see the message “master password reset” on the RMS LCD panel
• Power rack off and remove strap 10
• The master passwords has now been set to:

master1 [space] master2 [space] master3


• Log in as MASTER from the PC using the three passwords above

7.3.4 Lost contact with RC configuration

The action following a lost contact with Remote Control is configurable with U6 and U13 in
combination according to Table 7-10 (applies from revision 3 of the TCA 1218 board) Corre-
sponding configuration applicable for the Remote Control versions RCA 1240G and H is
described in Table 7-10.

Note: If 2 sec or 30 sec delayed shutdown is set also set strap S27 on RCA 1750. If no shutdown is
set strap S27 on RCA 1750 shall be open.

by setting straps according to Table 7-11, a Changeover from Remote Control will in addition
to changing transmitter-on-air also redefine the main and Standby transmitters (similar to
pressing Main Select (TX1/TX2) and Changeover on Local Control Panel) (applies from revi-
sion 3 of the TCA 1218 board).

During Service mode of operation, transmitting ILS equipment is normally not shown as a
green Normal LED on the Remote Control panel, only the red Alarm LED will be lit. A special
Service Mode for the Remote Control display has been implemented for interfacing with cus-
tomized Remote Control and Monitoring Systems. In this configuration the Alarm, Warning
and Normal LED will be showing system status as during normal operation and the Remote
Control panel will indicate that the ILS equipment is in Service mode by a lit Access LED,
often re-labelled as SERVICE instead of ACCESS. This mode is configured as shown in Table

7.4 Using Modems

7.4.1 About using modems

When equipment with CI 1748 and RCA 1750 is used, there is normally no need for external
modems between the shelter and the technical room unless special telecom requirements
applies, or fiber-optic networks are used. If an additional RMM connection is used or separate
RC and RMM connections are required, external modems must be used. External leased line
or dialup modems are also required for the RMM only connection if it is used to connect to a
remote location.

7.4.1.1 Leased line using Westermo TD-36

This description applies to Westermo TD-36 modems.

The TD-36 modem is intended for use in pairs and may not be compatible with other modems.

SECTION 7 INSTALLATION AND INITIAL SET-UP

7.4.1.1.2 Initializing the PC modem

The PC modem must be initialized before connecting it to the cabinet. This is done by con-
necting it to a standard PC that has communication or terminal software installed (for example
HyperTerminal in Windows XP).
1. Connect the modem to a PC, and use for example HyperTerminal in Windows XP to
send the following init string to the modem: ATS7=40&W
2. Check that the modem responds with OK to the init string
3. Connect the modem to the cabinet as described below and power on the modem

7.4.1.1.3 Connecting the modem to the cabinet

The modem must be connected to Remote Port 1 or Remote Port 2 on the connection inter-
face board in the ILS cabinet. The bit rate for this port must be 9600 bps (this is the default
setting). There is no need to configure any modem init strings in the ILS.

It is recommended to use Remote Port 2 on the ILS, because this port has a 16 byte FIFO that
reduces the CPU load caused by the serial communication handling. RMS version 12 or later
should be installed when remote port 1 is used (earlier RMS versions does not drive RTS
active so this signal must be strapped to DSR on the modem side.) Also note that the ILS
does not drive DTR active on remote port 1, therefore the modem is set up to ignore this sig-
nal.

7.4.1.1.4 Connecting the modem to the PC

The modem must be connected to a RS-232 serial port. The "Connect method" in the RMM
software must be set to "Direct", and the bit rate to 9600 bps. There is no need to configure
any initialization strings in the RMM.

7.4.1.2 Dial-up using Westermo TD-36

This description applies to Westermo TD-36 modems.

The TD-36 modem is intended for use in pairs and may not be compatible with other modems.

1. Connect the modem to a PC, and use for example HyperTerminal in Windows to send
the following init string to the modem: ATS0=1E0&C1&D2&W
2. Check that the modem responds with OK to the init string
3. Connect the modem to the cabinet as described below and power on the modem

7.4.1.2.3 Connecting the modem to the cabinet.

7.4.1.2.4 Connecting the modem to the PC

The modem must be connected to a RS-232 serial port on the PC. The "Connect method" in
the RMM software must be set to "Dial up", the bit rate to 9600 bps and the init string should
be:

SECTION 7 INSTALLATION AND INITIAL SET-UP

Frequency settings:

This parameter can be found from the menu: ILS settings-Monitoring-Monitor configuration.
The value is stored on the MF board. Select channel 1-40 to match the frequency of the ILS.
The frequencies are as defined in ICAO Annex 10, volume 1, fifth edition, with the LOC fre-
quencies listed in ascending order with the matched GP frequency. Repeat for both or all
three monitors.

Note: Channel 0 and 41 are for test purposes only and shall not be used.

RF level adjustment and alarm limits:

RF level nominal value:

The RF level shall be adjusted to 0dB in the RMM program (corresponding to 3 volts in older
NORMARC 7000 systems) by setting the offset for the parameter and monitor in question.

From the menu, select ILS Settings - Monitoring - Monitor limits - Calibrate measurement.

© Indra Navia AS Page 7-98


SECTION 7 INSTALLATION AND INITIAL SET-UP

The easiest way to adjust is to set the offset to 0dB for each parameter and monitor, read the
RF level for the parameter and note the monitor reading with transmitter on. If the monitor
reads -30.44 dB, then enter this number with opposite sign, that is 30.44 dB, in the offset field
and apply to the monitor that is being adjusted

This procedure must be repeated for all monitors and all channels in use, i.e. CL, DS, CLR
(dual frequency equipment only) and NF (if installed).

RF level alarm limits:

From the menu, select ILS Settings - Monitoring - Monitor limits - Edit

Set the alarm limits for RF, see Chapter 7.8 for guidance. Repeat for all monitors for CL, DS,
CLR (if applicable) and NF (if applicable).

SECTION 7 INSTALLATION AND INITIAL SET-UP

RF unit:

When all monitors in use have been adjusted to 0dB and the alarm limits are set correctly, the
preferred unit for RF level may be changed. If V (Volts) is selected the nominal value will be
3.0 Volts, backward compatible with older NORMARC 7000 systems.The program will auto-
matically calculate the alarm limits back and forth when switching RF level unit.

SDM adjustment and alarm limits:

SDM nominal value:

From the menu, select ILS Settings - Monitoring - Monitor limits - Calibrate measurement.

Adjust SDM to the same value as read on the PIR connected to the monitor input signal. The
nominal value will normally be 40% (LOC) or 80% (GP). Use the offset to fine-adjust the
measured value to the same as read on the PIR.

If the monitored SDM (on PIR) differs more than a few tenths from the transmitter SDM then
the system should be checked for faults.

SDM alarm limits:

From the menu, select ILS Settings - Monitoring - Monitor limits - Edit

Set the alarm limits for SDM, see chapter 7.8 for guidance. Repeat for all monitors for CL, DS,
CLR (if applicable) and NF (if applicable).

DDM adjustment and alarm limits:

DDM nominal value:

From the menu, select ILS Settings - Monitoring - Monitor limits - Calibrate measurement.

Verify that the DDM is the same value as read on the PIR connected to the monitor input
signal. The nominal value is normally be 0 µA for CL and NF,150uA or 75 µA for DS and 280-
343 µA for CLR.

Use the offset setting to adjust the measured value to display 0 µA if desired. The picture
below shows the setting for LOC DS with 150 µA as monitored value. The monitor will then
read 0uA with 150 µA input.

Setting the nominal value to 150µA and offset to 0µA will display 150µA as the monitored
value in a properly adjusted system.

If the monitored DDM (on PIR) differs more than a few µA from the value at the relevant field
check point then the system should be checked for fault.

DDM alarm limits:

From the menu, select ILS Settings - Monitoring - Monitor limits - Edit

Set the alarm limits for DDM, see Chapter 7.8 for guidance. Repeat for all monitors for CL,

7.7.1 Stand by Monitor alignment

Before the standby monitor is aligned, the correct input to the standby monitor must be estab-
lished. This cannot be carried out until the transmitter and antenna system have been cor-
rectly adjusted.

When the transmitter and antenna system have been correctly adjusted, the DS and CLR out-
put from the changeover section (CO 1837B) to the standby monitor must be adjusted to its
correct DDM value.
• Adjust the LOC/GP, Frequency, RF level and SDM for the standby monitor CL, DS,
NF and CLR channels as described earlier
• Adjust the DS DDM Nominal and Offset on the standby monitor to 0.0%DDM/0µA
• Look at the standby monitor DS DDM measurement and adjust the small potenti-
ometer to the left of the J10 connector (on the Course CO 1837B/CO 1838B board
at the back of the cabinet - the right hand side board seen from behind) until the
DDM is as close to 15.5%DDM/150µA on LOC or 8.75%DDM/75µA on GP as pos-
sible
• On LOC; adjust the CLR DDM Nominal and Offset on the standby monitor to
0.0%DDM/0µA. Look at the standby monitor CLR DDM measurement and adjust
the small potentiometer to the left of the J10 connector (on the CLR CO 1837B
board at the back of the cabinet - the left hand side board seen from behind) until
the DDM is as close to 27.0%DDM/261µA as possible
• Use the offset settings on CL, DS, NF and CLR to adjust the measured value to
display 0.0%DDM/0µA if desired

7.8.1 Cat I monitor LIMIT configuration

Factory default alarm, warning-limits and nominal values are shown in Table 7-23.

DDM values are in% DDM (which is the default DDM measurement unit in the RMM software).

Limit values are relative to the configured nominal value. The nominal values for DDM meas-
urements can be configured by the user. Other nominal values can not be modified by the
user.

Monitor 1 and monitor 2 are always configured equally and according to Table 7-23. The
standby monitor are also configured according to this table, but with a few exceptions, see the
notes following the table.

Note that for the CL, DS, NF, CLR, and FFM channels the alarm limits are fine-tuned during
commissioning and flight tests to match each site installation.

For information on using the RMM software to set the monitor limits, see Appendix D.

SECTION 7 INSTALLATION AND INITIAL SET-UP

7.8.4 Description of the CL IDENT and CLR IDENT limits

CL ID ACT and CLR ID ACT

The CL ID ACT and CLR ID ACT parameters measures the modulation levels and sets the
output to OFF (0), KEYED (1) or CONTINUOUS (2). If the modulation level the last second is
less than 3%, then the parameters are set to OFF. If the modulation level is greater than 3%
for the last second the parameters are set to CONTINUOUS. Otherwise, they are set to
KEYED.

The nominal value for LOC is 1 (KEYED). Set the warning limits to +/-0 if CONTINUOS Ident
or No Ident shall give an Ident warning. Otherwise set to OFF. The same applies for (Execu-
tive) Ident Alarm. Note that during ident pauses this parameter will be measured to OFF, and
the ident delay must be set longer than the expected pause in the sequence, typically some
seconds, in order to avoid ident warning and alarm toggling on and off.
If the LOC ident is going to be collocated with a DME ident (LOC transmitting 3 ident words
and DME transmitting the forth word) the Ident delay must be long enough to avoid generation
of an Ident alarm when the DME is transmitting the ident

The GP has no ident, and the alarm and warning limits must be set to OFF.

CL ID CODE and CLR ID CODE

The CL ID CODE and CLR ID CODE parameters decodes the Morse code in the monitors and
compares to the expected value. The value is set to 1 (Nominal) if the correct code is
decoded. After a decoding sequence, the parameters are set to 0 before a new decoding
sequence is started.

In order for this to work, the ident delay must be set longer than the expected pause in the
sequence, the nominal value must be set to 1 (correctly decoded Morse code) and the warn-
ing and alarm limits must be set to either +/-0 or OFF, depending on whether wrong code shall
lead to warning or alarm.

In addition, the monitors must be told what the expected Morse code is. From the RMM menu,
select

ILS Settings - Monitoring - Monitor configuration. The parameters MONx IDENT_CODE and
STBY IDENT_CODE shall be set to the same ident code as used by the transmitters. These
values must match for the ident code to be correctly decoded.

The GP has no ident, and the alarm and warning limits must be set to OFF

7.8.7 Executive Monitor delay configuration

The factory default delay configuration for Cat I and II/III (values compliant with ICAO Annex
10) are shown in Table 7-27.

Note: That Annex 10 specifies the total changeover + shutdown delay after an alarm. The delay val-
ues used in the NORMARC 7000 RMM software are the time delay between the detection of
an alarm and the resulting changeover or shutdown. When a changeover takes place the delay
counters are reset. The values entered in the RMM software are therefore set to the Annex 10
value divided by two. The "Integrity Test - Monitor Delay Verification" delay shall be set to the
total changeover-shutdown time + 1 second (2*GEN delay + 1s).

The NF delay is used for alarms on the NF DDM, SDM and RF parameters. The IDENT delay
is used on the CL/CLR IDENT ACT, MOD and CODE parameters. The FFM delay is used on
all FFM parameters. The GEN delay is used on all remaining parameters..
See Appendix D for information on delay configuration using the RMM software.

SECTION 7 INSTALLATION AND INITIAL SET-UP

*) It is recommended to use minimum 30 seconds as the delay for IDENT on the standby mon-
itor on both Cat I and II/III. This is recommended in order to ensure that the RMS detects the
toggling of the IDENT measurements from the standby monitor. Detecting the toggling is
required in order not to generate IDENT warning. Some (short) ident codes may else cause
the ILS to generate IDENT warnings on the standby monitor.

7.8.8 Maintenance parameter configuration

This following sub-sections describes the maintenance measurements collected by the RMS
for diagnostic purposes. Default warning limits is also defined for each measurement type.

The warning limit for digital measurement point, are set to the “normal” state of the measure-
ment point. For example, for a measurement point that is normally “HIGH”, the warning limit is
set to “HIGH”.

For analog measurement points the limits are specified as “low limit”/”high limit”.

See Appendix D for information on using the RMM software to set these limits.

Set the low/high limits to:


• 1/1 generate warning when the input pins is open (not connected together)
• 0/0 generate warning when the input pins is shorted
• 0/1 do not generate warning

SECTION 8 DETAILED TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION

8 Section 8 Detailed Technical Description

8.1 Main Cabinet

This Section gives a detailed description of the assemblies and modules in the NORMARC
70XXB.

Notations in the block diagrams:

~ - Active low signal.

[7:0] - Signal bus numbering system. Here, an eight bits bus, numbered from
seven down to zero.

The following paragraphs describe the electronics modules located in the main cabinet.

8.1.1 MF 1821A Monitor Front-end

General description:

The MF 1821A module contain four identical analog RF frontends (CL, NF, DS and CLR) each
consisting of two parallel RF band-pass-filters for LOC and GP, respectively. The LOC/GP-bit
that selects the LOC or GP filter is stored in on-board config flash and can be altered from the
RMM program.

For each frontend the RF filtered signal is fed into a transformer followed by a 12-bit AD con-
verter. The AD converters use undersampling to extract the envelope of the AM signal. The
sampling frequency is 90 MHz for LOC and 120 MHz for GP. The digitized envelope is fed into
the FPGA on the MF-board.

The FPGA contain four Signal Processing Units (SPU) that extract the 90 and 150 Hz modula-
tion levels, DC levels representing RF power and maintenance data like voice, noise and 90/
150Hz harmonics for the four monitored channels. After the SPU's, still inside the FPGA, the
SDM, DDM and RF level is calculated, as well as ident level/code, difference frequency and
various maintenance parameters. The primary (monitor) and secondary (maintenance)
parameters are multiplexed and sent to the MO 1820A Monitor board.

The internal blocks in the FPGA are described below.

SECTION 8 DETAILED TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION

Block Diagram description:

(See Figure 8-1)

Power supply

The unit uses the +15V and +8.5V system voltages as input for the internal switching regula-
tors. The +15V is used for the 1.8V ADC supply voltage and FPGA I/O voltage. The +8.5V is
used for the rest: +1.2V FPGA core voltage and +3.3V general voltage. The +2.5V FPGA LDO
voltage is generated from the +3.3V source.

Voltage Monitor

The voltage monitor checks both the external and internal voltages, and any faults will gener-
ate a Power Good Fault that is fed to the Watchdog & reconfig block.

Three LEDs at the front (D13 on the top, D11 on the bottom) of the board indicates the status
of the voltage monitoring.

D13: Internal voltages (3.3V/2.5V/1.8V/1.2V) - OK

D12: Input voltage +8.5V - OK

D11: Input voltage +15V - OK

Watchdog & reconfig

This block checks the watchdog update signal from the FPGA and the Power Good signal
from the Voltage Monitor Block. Faults to any of these lines will reset the FPGA. CRC errors
and SEU errors (Single Event Upset due to e.g. cosmic rays) will also reset the FPGA.

Selftest

The self test section provides information about FPGA status and internal/external voltages
through an I2C interface.

Config flash

The config flash stores the FPGA image loaded upon start-up. The LOC and GP images are
stored in different memory locations. The FPGA will by default load the LOC image and use
this to determine whether LOC or GP is selected. If GP is selected, the GP image is loaded
instead

Clocks

A standard 20 MHZ VCTCXO is used as reference clock. The tolerance of the reference clock
is determined by the requirements for RF-frequency measurement accuracy, 1 kHz, which
corresponds to 3ppm at 330MHz. Analog Devices ADF4360-8 is used as PLL for generating
the sample frequencies of 90 MHz for LOC and 120 MHz for GP.
Instruction Manual

Test interface

Dual analog outputs are provided for on-site testing/debugging with oscilloscope. Various
combinations of the FPGA internal IF and audio signals can be selected with a Hex-switch,

SECTION 8 DETAILED TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION

and output to the DACs. The signals are available at two SMB jacks J13 and J14 at the front
of the cards. The J9 connector outputs the reference clock.

RF Frontend

The frontend consist of four channels, DS, CL, CLR and NF. At the input there is a pi attenua-
tor for improving input match and attenuating the RF signal to an adequate level. The band
switching (LOC or GP) is done with Hittite HMD544E switches. At the GP input there is
another switch to provide good isolation to the LOC section. After band selection there is
another pi attenuator, followed by a Chebychev filter 72-158 MHz LOC / 272-384 MHz GP and
a new Hittite bandselect switch. A MiniCircuits ceramic low pass filter is added before the ADC
in order to attenuate above 800 MHz.

A/D Converters

The theoretical input range is 0 to -45 dBm. Including peak power and back-off, the dynamic
range of the AD is 55 dB. To achieve this a 12 bit AD is used.

The optimum sampling frequencies to ensure aliasing-free digitization are:

LOC: 88.0-146.7 MHz

GP: 147.6-189.7 MHz or 102.2-120.7 MHz

The sampling frequencies are set to 90 MHz (LOC) and 120 MHz (GP). The frequency ranges
for the digitized RF-signals are 18-22 MHz (LOC) and 24-32 MHz (GP).

Linear Technologies LT2145-12 is used as AD.

A transformer-based input circuit is used for single-ended to balanced conversion as recom-


mended in the data sheet. The following transformers from Mini-Circuits are chosen: TC1-1-
13MX+ and TC2-72+.

FPGA

(See Figure 8-2 and Figure 8-3)

The FPGA used is Altera Cyclone III series EP3C40F484I7N. The FPGA has the following
key parameters:

Logic elements 39600.

Multipliers (18x18) 126

Memory blocks (9x1024) 126

PLLs 4

Core Voltage 1.2V

73892-I8/Rev.2/05-Apr-17 NORMARC 7011B-7034B

© Indra Navia AS Page 8-6


SECTION 8 DETAILED TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION

• Frame-based CRC check of configuration data when loading the image


• Run-time soft error detection

The latter detects changes in the internal configuration RAM. Dedicated circuitry continuously
computes the CRC (32bit IEEE 802) of the configured content, and compares it to a precom-
puted value loaded at configuration time. Detection of a CRC error will set the output pin,
CRC_ERROR. This triggers a master reset which initiates device reconfiguration.

SPU

The FPGA contain four SPU's; one for each of the CL, DS, NF and CLR channels. Each SPU
does the same:

The digitized, sampled signal is fed from the AD and into a down-converter mixer with an I-
and a Q-output. After two decimation filters the sampled rate is 3MS/s and this signal is fed to
a Hilbert transformer. The output is mux'ed into a channel filter and another mux before reach-
ing the AM-detector. The AM-detected data is output to a mux at a rate of 50kS/s and fed into
an audio filter.

The output is fed to a mux as well as to a test generator, which generates a secondary set of
periodically degenerated samples for each channel. This data from the Test Generator will be
used by the MO 1820 to check that the data channels are alive.

All these data are fed into a Discrete Fourier Transform (DFT) that outputs data at 10S/s to
amplitude- and phase calculator blocks. The outputs from these blocks are the DC level (RF
power), 90 and 150 Hz mod depth for CL, DS, NF and CLR, as well as the test signals (period-
ically degenerated) and voice, noise and harmonic modulation depths and LF phase data for
the same channels.

Primary Data buffer/modulation calc/RF level calc

The data from the four SPU's are fed into the primary data buffer and used by the modulation
calc and RF level calc blocks to calculate the raw values for SDM, DDM and RF level as can
be seen in the RMM program. The data is sent to a mux and further to a FIFO and CRC/seri-
alizer block, ready for transmission to the Monitor MO 1820 board.

Maintenance parameters

Besides the primary parameters, another block counts the Rf frequency for the CL and CLR
channels that are needed for calculating the Difference Frequency. Also, the ident modulation
depth and Morse code is calculated/checked. These parameters constitute, along with the
SDM/DDM and RF, the primary parameters to the Monitor MO 1820.

The RF frequency relative to carrier for the CL and CLR signals, the LF phase for the CL and
CLR signals and the voice/noise and harmonics modulation depths constitute the mainte-
nance data that are sent to the MO 1820.

MO/MF data interface

The monitor parameters are multiplexed and put into a FIFO before adding a packet CRC in

J9 and R95:

R95 is used for fine-tuning the ADC clock frequency. This clock is factory adjusted and shall
normally not be changed. But due to ageing the frequency can change a few ppms and R95
may be used for fine-tuning. If desired, connect a frequency counter to J95 with a 50 ohm
cable with a SMB jack. Use R95 to tune the frequency to 20 MHz +/-3ppm (60 Hz).

J13, J14 and SW1 (only for debugging purposes):

The SMB test Connectors J13 and J14 have 250mVpp nominal level in 50 ohm load. With the
use of hex switch SW1 the following signals are routed to J13 and J14 for test and debugging
purposes:

The audio channels display demodulated waveforms, while the IF channels show the ILS sig-
nals at an Intermediate Frequency (10 Ks/S). All signals are the output of the Signal Process-
ing Units in the MF FPGAs.

SECTION 8 DETAILED TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION

Block description:

(See Figure 8-5)

Power Supply

The unit uses the +15V and +5V system voltages as input for the internal switching regulators.
The internal voltages are mainly +3.3V, +2.5V, +1.8V and +1.2V. The -15V and +8.5V system
voltages are not used by this module.

Voltage Monitor

The voltage monitor checks both the external and internal voltages, and any faults will gener-
ate a Power Good Fault that is fed to the Watchdog & reconfig block.

Three LEDs at the front (D12 on the top, D29 on the bottom) of the board indicates the status
of the voltage monitoring.

D12: Input voltage +15V - OK

D13: Input voltage +VDD - OK

D29: Internal voltages (3.3V/2.5V/1.8V/1.2V) - OK

Watchdog and reconfiguration

This block checks the watchdog update signal from the FPGA and the Power Good signal
from the Voltage Monitor Block. Faults to any of these lines will reset the FPGA. CRC errors
and SEU errors (Single Event Upset due to e.g. cosmic rays) will also reset the FPGA.

DC-Loop

This part of the board generates the four DC-loop reference voltages that are fed to the
Antenna Distribution Unit (ADU), antennas and Monitor Combining Unit (MCU). The returning
voltage is buffered and digitized before being fed to the FPGA. Faults in any antenna will lead
to a displacement in one of the DC-loop voltages; and thus it is possible for the monitor to
detect which antenna that is faulty. The DC-loop system is designed to be compatible with the
older MO 1212.

Self Test

The self test section provides information about FPGA and CPLD status and internal/external
voltages through an I2C interface.

Config Flash

The config flash stores the FPGA image loaded upon start-up. An Altera serial flash is used
for image storage. The image can be downloaded to the configuration device trough the
FPGA, via JTAG.

SECTION 8 DETAILED TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION

EEPROM

Non-volatile memory is required for storage of alarm limits, delays and calibration/ configura-
tion values. The total amount of memory needed is ≥1024bytes. From a safety perspective
using an EEPROM device is preferred. Parallel interface EEPROMs have very limited availa-
bility so an ON Semiconductor serial device CAT25640VI-G is chosen.

All alarm limits are stored in two locations in EEPROM, one to be used for the FPGA (to Sta-
tion Control) and one set for the CPLD (Terminator). Various safety measures have been
taken in order to ensure the integrity of the alarm limits.

Clock

A standard 20MHz low power XO is used as the fundamental reference clock.

FPGA

The FPGA used is Altera Cyclone II series EP2C8F256I8N. The FPGA has the following key
parameters:

Logic elements 8256

Memory blocks (9x512bit) 36

PLLs 2

Core Voltage 1.2V

Process technology 90nm

The internal blocks of the FPGA are described later in this chapter.

CPLD

For the terminator comparator an Altera 5M2210ZF256I5N MAX V CPLD is used. The advan-
tage is very low power consumption and non-volatile configuration memory (flash). The CPLD
has the following key parameters:

Logic elements 2210

Equivalent macro cells 1700

User flash [kbits] 8

Core Voltage 1.8V

Process technology 180nm

The internal blocks of the CPLD are described later in this chapter.

SECTION 8 DETAILED TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION

MO/MF Data interface

This section receives measured data from the MO/MF, both monitor and maintenance data,
deserializes the data, checks packet CRC, buffers the data and send it to the Primary Data
Preprocessor and Sequencer. The maintenance data is sent to the maintenance data
sequencer.

Primary data pre-processor and sequencer

This block outputs the deserialized data: The alarm ID (internal number) of the data, the
parameter ID, parameter measured data and the CRC. This is sent to the Station Control
block for checks versus alarm limits. In addition, the data is sent to the Parameter Integrity
Check block.

Parameter integrity check

This block checks the received data for stuck bits by comparing all SDM, DDM and RF for CL,
NF, CLR and DS for toggling (Toggle check). This data is generated in the MF FPGA by sam-
pling the main SDM, DDM and RF and periodically degenerating the data. When the degener-
ation of all this data is verified after reception in the MO, the data channels are adjudged to be
alive

Another part of the block calculates the CRC of the block and verifies it against the appended
CRC.

A third part of the block (test signal check) performs advanced calculation to look for stuck
low-order bits that are not visible in the toggle check.

The status from these three integrity checks are sent to the station control, and failure to either
of these is assumed so safety critical that the Station Control block will set all alarm parame-
ters to raw alarm to for one second, effectively forcing the system into a changeover/shut-
down.

MO/MF Control interface

The MO/MF control interface reads status from extended registers on the MF1821. The regis-
ters are used for reading misc status from the MO/MF, reading/writing MF calibration parame-
ters and activating maintenance tests.

DC-Loop ADC Interface

This block receives digitized DC-loop voltages from the AD, adds ID and CRC and send them
to the Station Control/Terminator for alarm checking.

FFM interface

This interface receives data from external FFM controller via an UART. The message is
checked for CRC errors and split into data packets for monitor (RF/DDM/SDM) that is checked
in the station control and terminator. Another data packet is sent to the maintenance section.

SECTION 8 DETAILED TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION

TX Status Interface

This section checks the feedback signals from the course transmitters for bouncing and puts
the monitored signals in alarm for a few seconds if these signals change state too quickly.

Clocks and reset

The reference clock is fed into a PLL that provides the master clock signal as well as a reset
signal.

TEST_RF calc

The TEST_RF preprocessing block normalizes the TEST_RF_LEVEL by subtracting the


CL_RF_LEVEL from the input value.

EEPROM interface/bus matrix

The EEPROM interface reads data (alarm limits) from EEPROM and make them available for
station control and terminator. When rms_level_1 is low and the RMS request alarm limits
change, this interface write new limits to the EEPROM. It also handles CRC checking and
CRC generation.

Configuration controller

The configuration controller reads stored data from EEPROM and provides it to the various
parts of the monitor. This includes:

NF_CLR_TEST_COMNFIG: tells the monitor if CLR and NF is installed

MO_CONF: tells the monitor which IDRENT_KEY it shall check against


and whether FFM is executive, i.e. FFM Alarm shall give
shutdown

RMS Interface

The RMS interface receives status on access level, determining if write protection is on. It
communicates with the RMS board, from which commands to the monitors are sent and all to
which the maintenance parameters are sent. The RMS board also receives status from the
extended registers.

Comparator Station Control

The comparator receives measurement data for the primary monitor parameters (RF, SDM,
DDM for all channels, Difference frequency, CL and CLR Ident level and states, DC-loop, FFM
SDM/DDM and RF as well as the toggling of the test channels.) and checks the values against
the alarm limits. Any parameter outside the limits will lead to raw alarm for that parameter and
start the delay counter. If the raw alarm stays, the delay counter will count upwards until the
delay limit is reached, after which the parameter is set to delayed alarm.

The alarm status is sent to the Station Control block of the Transmitter Control Module (TCA
Instruction Manual

1218). In case of any delayed alarm the TCA will request a changeover or shutdown.

© Indra Navia AS Page 8-16


SECTION 8 DETAILED TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION

As a safety measure, the Station Control section contain a block named HRA, which stands
for Held Raw Alarm. This block will put all parameters into raw alarm for one second in case of
the following events:
• Toggle Error from the Parameter Integrity Check section.
• Test Signal Check from the Parameter Integrity Check section.
• CRC check from the Parameter Integrity Check section.
• Communication error with the MF board (mf_al_err)
• Wrong parameter ID received from the MF board (id_err)

CPLD

(See Figure 8-7)

The CPLD is basically a duplication of the Parameter Integrity Check and Station Control sec-
tions of the FPGA. Another device family is chosen for the CPLD in order to ensure strong
independence while working on the same data set. The CPLD communicates with The Termi-
nator-part of the TCA 1218A. For more information about the Station Control and Terminator
of the TCA 1218, please see the appropriate chapter.

8.1.3 TCA 1218C Transmitter Control Assembly

General description:

The TCA 1218C Transmitter Control Assembly consists of the transmitter control TC 1216A
and Local Control (front panel) LC 1217C.

Block diagram:

See Figure 8-8 and Figure 8-9. All blocks except Local Control are located on TC 1216A.

Description of selected signals:

MON1 SC ALARM BUS:

Station control alarm bus from monitor MO 1820A no.1. Consists of M1S_AL_ID[4:0],
~M1S_AL_RDY, M1S_AL, ~M1S_AL_N and M1S_AL_RAW.

MON2 SC ALARM BUS:

Station control alarm bus from monitor MO 1820A no.2. Consists of M2S_AL_ID[4:0],
~M2S_AL_RDY, M2S_AL, ~M2S_AL_N and M2S_AL_RAW.

STBY MON ALARM BUS:

Station control alarm bus from standby monitor MO 1820A. Consists of ~MSTBYS_AL_RDY
and MSTBYS_AL. Only used for hot standby configurations.

RMS BUS:

Interface to the RMS. Consists of IOD[7:0], IOCS, IOS[2:0].

MON1 TRM ALARM BUS:

EVENT DETECTION):
Instruction Manual

Interprets the alarm bus from the monitors MO 1820A and generates alarm (and standby
alarm for hot standby configurations). These signals together with inputs from local controls
(on LC 1217C), remote controls (via CI 1748A), RMS inputs and configuration setup (in
EEPROM and jumper settings) determine the state/state change for the NORMARC 70xxB
73892-I8/Rev.2/05-Apr-17 NORMARC 7011B-7034B

SECTION 8 DETAILED TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION

transmitter state. Status information are generated and sent to local control panel (LC 1217)
and remote control panel (via CI 1748A). The RMS can poll the state of the station control at
any time. State changes generate an interrupt signal to the RMS. STATION CONTROL can
shut off the transmitters LPA 1580A (LOC), GPA 158A (GP) and GPA 1582A (NM 7033B-
7034B Only) by turning off the RF-oscillators OS 1706A (LOC) and OS 1706B (GP).

Most of the functionality of STATION CONTROL is handled by three FPGAs NMP 104A, NMP
105A and NMP 106A described in Sections 8.1.3.1 - 8.1.3.3.

TERMINATOR:

Interprets the alarm bus from the monitors MO 1820A and generates alarm. This signal
together with local controls (on LC 1217C), remote controls (via CI 1748A), RMS inputs and
configuration setup (in EEPROM and jumper settings) determine the state of the terminator
alarm (TRM_AL) output. TERMINATOR has an extra 1s delay, so that the STATION CON-
TROL has time to fulfil transmitter state changes before the terminator shuts the NORMARC
70xxB down. Terminator alarm shuts the NORMARC 70xxB down by disconnecting the power
supply from the output stage of the transmitters LPA 1580A (LOC), GPA 158A (GP) and
GPA 1582A (NM 7033B-7034B Only).

Most of the functionality of TERMINATOR is handled by FPGA NMP 107A described in Sec-
tion 8.1.3.4.

REMOTE CONTROL IF:

This unit converts signals from the station control and terminator to serial messages (1 mes-
sage is 2 bytes long). This is done continuously (approximately 10 messages/s). The serial
input from the remote control is converted to parallel format. Messages from the remote con-
trol are accepted only if two equal messages are received in sequence. If no valid message is
received within 2s, the remote control interface asserts a failure signal to inform the station
control and terminator that the link to the remote control is broken. Depending on the configu-
ration setup, this will turn the NORMARC 70xxB off.

Block description:

Most of the functions of REMOTE CONTROL IF is handed by FPGA NMP 109A in section
8.1.3.5

CONFIG

Jumper plugs for configuration of the NORMARC 70xxB.

DEBOUNCE

Consists of debouncing circuitry for signals from switches on LC 1217C and jumper plugs for
setting access levels for remote control.

LOCAL CONTROL

Consist of keys, switches, switch locks lamps and indicators located on LC 1217C used to

SECTION 8 DETAILED TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION

8.1.3.1 NMP 104A Station Control Monitor Data Detector

General description:

NMP 104A is a FPGA within the STATION CONTROL block. It serves as a monitor alarm/error
detection and monitor alarm voting unit. NMP 104A is based on the Actel ACT1020 FPGA.
For electrical specifications see the ACT1020 data sheet.

Block description:

MON.1 ALARM & ERROR DETECTION

This block decodes the MON1 SC Alarm bus and generates alarm if the monitor MO 1820A
no 1 has set the alarm flag for any of the 32 parameters received in a set. Error checks
includes parameter identity sequence check, AL_N negated of AL, test channel alarm toggling
and time-out for RDY-signal. Any alarm/error will set the monitor alarm output (M1_ALARM)
for the duration of next 32 parameters, meaning that 32 parameters without alarm/error must
be received in sequence before the alarm output is reset.

MON.2 ALARM & ERROR DETECTION

Same as for MON.1 ALARM & ERROR DETECTION, but for MON2 SC alarm bus.

VOTING

This block provides monitor alarm (VALARM) to the NMP 105A depending on jumper configu-
ration (1 of 2 or 2 of 2 voting) in the CONFIG block and inputs from the two MO 1820A moni-
tors (not including standby monitor). When configured for 2 of 2 voting, both MO 1820A
monitors must give alarm to set the VALARM output. When configured for 1 of 2 voting, alarm
from one of the two MO 1820A monitors is sufficient to set VALARM.

STBY ALARM DETECTION

Alarm flag for any parameter sets the alarm immediately. The alarm will be reset when 32
parameters are received in sequence with no alarm flag set.

PUSH-BUTTON ONESHOTS

To prevent locking up of push button keyboard signals, this block translates the input signals
from the switches on LC 1217C from levels (high or low) to pulse stream.

The event detect unit checks for valid events (for example key press, alarm interlock etc.), and
sends valid event number to the station control state machine controller NMP 106A. Events
not valid for the current mode of operation are ignored. Events are given priorities with inter-
lock as the highest priority. The alarm event has the next priority, while the other events are
polled one by one. The event detect unit also has a built in integrity check. This function works
when the ILS is in normal operational mode (automatic mode with transmitters on and no
alarm). When the ON/OFF is pressed, a FORCE_AL signal is output. This signal turns off all
transmitters (LPA 1580A (LOC), GPA 158A (GP) and GPA 1582A (NM 7033B-7034B Only))
without notifying the rest of the system. The loss of transmitted signal will be detected by the
monitors (MO 1820A) and cause monitor alarms to the STATION CONTROL.This alarm will
result in a TX changeover initiated by STATION CONTROL, but since STDBY TX is also
turned off, monitor alarm will remain and cause TX shutdown after alarm delay. This sequence
ensures that the monitoring circuits and shutdown mechanisms operates as intended. If the
integrity check function should fail, a time-out function shuts the ILS down.

INTERRUPT DETECT

This block detects transmitter state changes and stores the event causing the change. Trans-
mitter feedback and coax relay position is also stored. An interrupt is generated to inform the
RMS that a transmitter state change has occurred.

TX 20 SEC DELAY
Instruction Manual

This function ensures that no transmitters are allowed to transmit for 20 seconds after an
alarm shutdown has occurred.

8.1.3.3 NMP 106A Station Control State Machine Control

General description:

NMP 106A is a FPGA within the STATION CONTROL block. It serves mainly as a state
machine controller (states are stored in an EPROM) for transmitter on/off control. NMP 106A
is based on the Actel ACT1020 FPGA. For electrical specifications see the ACT1020 data
sheet.

Block description:

SEQUENCER

This block generates strobes and control signals for running the state machine. New states
are triggered based on received new data from NMP105A (on the STO_BUS). This block also
generates reset to the hardware watchdog safeguarding and controlling the station control
reset.

EVENT CHECK

This block checks event and main select signal received from NMP 105A. Two identical event/
main select signals must be received in sequence before the event/main select is acted upon.

TIMER

Used by the state machine for delays/time-outs for state changes.

DELAY

Delays the coax relay position feedback in state change sequences. Ensures that the coax
relay (Section 8.1.7) will not change position while the transmitters are transmitting.

PARITY CHECK

This block checks the parity of each byte read from the state machine content EPROM. Parity
failure results in transmitter shutdown.

LOCKUP DETECT

This block detects failures in the state machine sequence. It will trigger if the state machine
doesn’t become idle within a specified time. Failures results in transmitter shutdown.

EPROM READ DATA ADDRESS

This block is an address counter setting the address for the state machine EPROM during
reading through the RMS. The RMS can either reset or increment the address counter. The
feedback from these control strobes, address bit 0 and EPROM data byte are transferred to
the NMP 105A for reading by the RMS.

SECTION 8 DETAILED TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION

TX ON/OFF CONTROL

This block controls the on/off state of the transmitters. Default is leaving the transmitters in the
state reported by their feedback signals, thereby providing no change in transmitter state.
However, if PARITY CHECK failure or event LOCKUPDETECT failure is detected, the trans-
mitters are turned off.

LOCAL LAMP STATUS

Local panel lamp outputs to the LOCAL CONTROL BLOCK are provided based on coax relay
position, TX main select, transmitter status and station status received from NMP105A.

EPROM ADDR MUX

This block selects EPROM addressing either for STATE MACHINE or RMS read control.

8.1.3.4 NMP 107A Terminator

General description:

NMP 107A is a FPGA providing most of the TERMINATOR function. The terminator function is
to provide a transmitter shutoff function if the STATION CONTROL should fail to do so.
NMP 107A is based on the Actel ACT1020 FPGA. For electrical specifications see the
ACT1020 data sheet.

Block description:

RMS INTERFACE

The RMS interface provides the interface to the RMS BUS.

RMS LEVEL DETECT

This block decodes RMS access levels 2 and 3 using access configuration in CONFIG block,
write disable switch lock information from LOCAL CONTROL, access grant from REMOTE
CONTROL IF and access requests from the RMS.

EVENT DETECT

The event detect unit checks for valid events (for example on/off-key, alarm, interlock etc.),
and sends valid events to the terminator state check. Events not valid for the current mode of
operation are ignored.

TERMINATOR STATE CHECK

This block acts upon events/states received from the EVENT DETECT block. Alarm/interlock
states are allowed to be active for 1 second before terminator alarm is activated. The termina-
tor alarm is then reset if an on/off-event is detected, thereby starting a new 1 second time-out.
The STATION CONTROL must now stabilise the ILS with no alarm within this 1-second period
of time if a TERMINATINATOR shutdown should be avoided. If terminator is triggered by
alarm or interlock while transmitters are transmitting, an interrupt is generated. The RMS can
then read the cause of the interrupt through the RMS BUS.

INTERLOCK FILTER

This block overrides the interlock signal in interlock override mode of operation. To enable
interlock override mode of operation the interlock override switch lock must be activated, the
local/remote switch must be in local position and the auto/manual switch must be in manual
position.

MON.1 ALARM & ERROR DETECTION

This unit decodes the MON1 TRM ALARM BUS and generates alarm if the monitor MO
1820A no. 1 has set the alarm flag for any of the 32 parameters received in a set. Error checks
includes parameter identity sequence check, AL_N negated of AL, test channel alarm toggling
and time-out for RDY-signal. Any alarm/error will set the monitor alarm output (M1ALARM) for
Instruction Manual

the duration of the next 32 parameters, meaning that 32 parameters without alarm/error must
be received before the alarm output is reset.

VOTING

This block provides a monitor alarm (~VALARM) depending on jumper configuration (1 of 2 or


2 of 2 voting) in the CONFIG block and inputs from the two MO 1820A monitors (not including
STDBY monitor). When configured for 2 of 2 voting both MO 1820A monitors must give alarm
to set the ~VALARM output. When configured for 1 of 2 voting alarm from one of the two
MO 1820A monitors is sufficient to set the ~VALARM.

8.1.3.5 NMP 109A Remote Control Interface

General description:

NMP 109A is a FPGA providing most of REMOTE CONTROL IF function. The NMP 109A
transfers data between STATION CONTROL and TERMINATOR and the remote control (via
CI 1748A). NMP 109A is based on the Actel ACT1020 FPGA. For electrical specifications see
the ACT1020 data sheet.

Block description:

STBY LAMP FILTER

This block provides the standby lamp information to be sent to remote control by the TX
UART.

TX UART

Converts parallel data to 2-bytes serial messages. Protocol for the serial data SDOUT (sent
via CI 1748A) is start bit, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, odd parity.

RX UART

Converts serial data SDIN received from remote control (via CI 1748A) to parallel data (2
bytes).

MESSAGE DETECTOR

Messages from RX UART are accepted only if two identical messages are received in
sequence. If so, the data output latch is updated and a new-message pulse is generated.

NEW MESSAGE TIMER

Checks whether an OK message from MESSAGE DETECTOR and carrier detect signal from
CI 1748A is present. Missing message or no carrier detect for 2 seconds or more gives time-
out signal to DATA FILTER.

DATA FILTER

In case the NEW MESSAGE TIMER has signalled a time-out (indicating missing messages)
this block will modify the data received from the MESSAGE DETECTOR by forcing the
TX_OFF signal to on (configurable). If configuration enables interlock, the interlock signal is
also forced active.

General description:

LF 1576A provides the audio signals to be modulated onto the carrier signal in the transmitter.
The levels of the 90Hz, 150Hz, RF level, ident level and ident Morse code is programmable
from the RMS.

The setup for generating the baseband output signals is stored in non-volatile memory on
board, and consists of values in numeric form for all the frequency components of the signals.
The low-frequency output signals are continuously calculated by the DSP using a formula that
takes into account modulation levels, phase and ident signalling. The user can alter the setup
when logged in with access level 3 (or higher).

Block diagram:

See Figure 8-10. The block descriptions refer to the names on the block diagram.

Block Description: Digital

This block is composed of all the digital parts of the design (except for the self-test function)

I/O SYSTEM

The I/O-system basically consists of the FPGA NMP 137, and does the following tasks:
• Generates status to the IIC INTERFACE (SELFTEST)
• Passes protocol messages between the RMS and the DSP by converting data
between the RMS bus and the DSP DATA bus
• Limits write access to the memory, so that the DSP cannot alter the sources for the

SECTION 8 DETAILED TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION

• Converts RMS bus data to PA IIC control data (LOCAL DATA BUS on block sche-
matic) and vice versa
• Calculates Voice and DME control output

PA IIC CTRL, UTILITY

Converts LOCAL DATA BUS from the I/O SYSTEM to PA IIC BUS data, and vice versa. It also
generates 16 digital spare outputs, which again is controlled by the DSP.

DSP

This block consists of a Digital Signal Processor with supporting circuits. An oscillator at
32.768 MHz clocks the DSP.

The DSP runs the program NMS 221. The program basically generates the LF-values sent to
the two four-channel DACs in the analog part. This is done by calculating the frequency com-
ponents in real-time based on stored values in the memory system. The scaling of the fre-
quency components and the behaviour of the analog outputs can be altered by the RMS
through a dedicated RMS-DSP protocol. NMS 221 also generates the 30Hz test signal.

MEMORY

Is the memory in the system, and consists of a FLASH device with the DSP program NMS 221
(loaded at start up), and an EEPROM for storing non-volatile data. The EEPROM is not per-
mitted to be written to unless in access level 3 (see I/O SYSTEM).

SERIAL (optional)

This is a serial interface used for debugging the software, and is not present for ordinary pro-
duction line boards.

IIC INTERFACE (SELFTEST)

The internal self-test systems are an IIC device with eight inputs. Four of them are dedicated
for the status of the internal voltages (2.5V, 3.3V, 15V and -15V). The other four inputs are
dedicated for the status of the digital system (DSP alive, RMS alive, DSP Flash memory fail
and DSP EEPROM memory fail). These inputs are read by the RMS on the IIC bus.

Block Description: Analog

Comprises the analog circuitry of the board (amplifiers, filters etc.) plus the DAC circuits. In
addition a high precision voltage reference is provided.

COU BASEBAND MOD and CLR BASEBAND MOD


• Converts serial data from DSP to the actual signals sent to the transmitter. This
includes:
• Digital to analog conversions for CSB, SBO I and SBO Q
• Mixing of voice signals onto baseband

SECTION 8 DETAILED TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION

Block description:

The RF- signal is generated by a voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO) controlled by a digital


phase locked loop (PLL) IC via a low pass filter. This IC performs frequency divisions of the
signals from the voltage tuned temperature compensated x-tall oscillator (VTCXO) reference
oscillator and the feedback signal from the VCO by two separate programmable frequency
dividers.

A frequency/phase detector inside the IC compares the outputs from the two dividers and gen-
erates an output voltage that will tune the VCO to the frequency that makes the two inputs to
the phase detector to be equal in frequency and phase. By changing the number of frequency
division of the VCO signal the VCO must change frequency in order to make the inputs to the
phase detector equal. Thus by changing the division number of the VCO feedback signal the
output frequency will be changed and the frequency stability will be equal to that of the tem-
perature compensated x-tall reference oscillator.

were fref is the frequency of the reference oscillator,


R is the division factor of the reference signal,
N is the division factor of the VCO (output frequency)

The PLL is designed to generate the frequencies to be used by ILS systems. The positions of
the jumpers in the front of the module select the desired ILS channel, in addition the configu-
ration of one or two frequency systems with the frequency of the Course signal to be 5 kHz
higher than the channel frequency and the Clearance 5 kHz lower. The frequencies of the
COU and CLR signals can also be configured to be swopped.

A micro-controller reads the position of the straps and converts the information to appropriate
data that are transferred to the PLL IC at power up of the module. The table of jumper settings
for the various frequencies and configurations is found in Table 7-28.

The signal from the VCO is connected to a dual gate MOS FET amplifier stage via a PIN diode
switch, these two elements form a two stage switch controlled by the COU_OFF input signal
and the Lock Detect signal (see below). A 12dB RF amplifier and a low-pass complete the RF
path.

The PLL IC generates a lock detect (LD) signal that is high when the frequency of the output
signal is correct, if the PLL should go out of lock the LD will go low and make the output latch-
ing of comparator go low. This low signal (LD history) will turn off the PIN diode switch and the
dual gate MOS transistor amplifier stage resulting in turn off of the RF output signal.

Should the PLL go into lock again the LD will go high again but due to the latching function of
the comparator the LD history signal will not change and the RF output will remain shut off.
The latching comparator is reset by a negative transition of COU_OFF input signal and/or
turning the power off and on.

The status of the LD and the LD history are read by the IIC expander IC and transmitted to the
RMM system via the IIC bus. Also the status of RF signal level is available for the RMM.

The module comprises two identical and separate circuits that generate the course and clear-

ance LO signals, only the frequency programming parts are common.

8.1.6 LPA 1580A Localizer Power Amplifier Assembly, GPA 1581A GP COU Power
Amplifier Assembly and GPA 1582A GP CLR Power Amplifier Assembly (NM 7033B-34B
Only)

General description:

The Localizer Power Amplifier Assembly LPA 1580A consists of CB 1579A and PA 1577A
mounted together as shown on Figure 8-12

The Glide Path Power Amplifier Assembly GPA 1581A consists of CB 1601A (GP) and
PA 1578A mounted together as shown on Figure 8-12.

The Glide Path Power Amplifier Assembly GPA 1582A consists of CB 1601B and PA 1578B
for NORMARC 7033B-7034B Only as shown in Figure 8-12.

The LPA 1580A, GPA 1581A and GPA 1582A receives RF signals and LF signals from the
OS 1706A (LOC) OS 1706B (GP) Oscillator (Section 8.1.5) and LF 1576A low frequency gen-
erator (Section 8.1.4) respectively. The outputs from the LPA 1580A, GPA 1581A and
GPA 1582A are carrier sideband (CSB) signal and sideband only (SBO) signal. GPA 1582A is
used for GP CLR and only comprises the CSB path.

Detected samples of the CSB and SBO signals are available on the BNC connectors on the
front panel. Power measurements and status signals are interfaced to the RMS.

Block diagram:

See Figure 8-13 and Figure 8-14.

Description of operation:

The CSB input signal is supplied to both I and Q inputs in the CSB amplifier. In the SBO ampli-
fier, separate inputs are used for I and Q to allow phase adjustment of the SBO signal.

The difference between the modulating I and Q signals and the feedback signals is amplified
through the Error amplifier. The I and Q error signals are mixed with an in-phase and a quad-
rature LO signal in the Modulator. LP filtering is applied to remove harmonic mixer products.
The resulting RF signal is then amplified to a suitable signal level for the PA input. A forward
coupled signal from the directional coupler at the PA output is BP filtered at the Demodulator
input. The RF signal is then mixed with an in-phase and a quadrature LO signal. LP filtering is
applied on the resulting I and Q baseband signals to remove residual RF. DC offset is elimi-
nated from I and Q feedback signals before they are subtracted from the I and Q input signals.

This effectively forms a control loop that tracks and eliminates amplitude and phase errors
made by the PA, although a small error will always be present. This linearisation- technique is
known as Cartesian Feedback.

The AGC ensures that the modulators and demodulators are supplied with a constant LO sig-
nal independent of the oscillator output level. The AGC has a dynamic range of approximately
6dB. The splitters first split the modulator and demodulator paths, and then split each in CSB
and SBO paths

General description:

CO 1837B (LOC) and CO 1838B / CO 1838C (GP) are Changeover modules used to connect
one transmitter to the antenna and one transmitter to dummy load in the NORMARC 7000B
ILS. The units also include outputs for monitoring purposes.

8.1.7.1 CO 1837B/CO 1838B only

Block description:

Refer to Figure 8-15 above. After the switch (Switch 1), the main CSB signal is routed to the
antenna output (J6) through a dual directional coupler (Coupler 2). The coupling in all the cou-
plers on the unit are 32dB for LOC and 22dB for GP. One of the coupled signals (J7) is taken
to the CSB test connector on the front of the cabinet. The other signal from the directional cou-
pler is attenuated and routed to the NF channel (J5) on the standby monitor. This signal is
used as an additional maintenance monitoring of the main transmitters CSB signal.

The standby CSB signal is going through a dual directional coupler (Coupler 1) before it is ter-
minated in a 50 ohm dummy load (J9). On hot standby localizers, the dummy load is mounted
on the top of the cabinet to improve the heat dissipation. On the rest of the cabinets, the
dummy load is mounted directly on the J9 connector.

One of the signal from the Coupler 1 is attenuated and used as a CL monitor signal (J8) for
the standby monitor. The other signal is combined with the standby SBO signal to generate
DS/CLR signal for the standby monitor.

The main SBO signal is after the switch (Switch 2) routed to the antenna output (J11). The
standby SBO signal is going to an internal 50 ohm dummy load after the directional coupler
(Coupler 3). Due to the low power on the SBO, no external dummy load is needed.
Instruction Manual

The coupled standby SBO signal is combined with the standby CSB signal to generate DS/
CLR signal for the standby monitor.

SECTION 8 DETAILED TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION

To get a correct DS/CLR signal for the standby monitor, the RF phase of the standby CSB and
the standby SBO have to be in phase to each other before they are combined. This is
achieved by the two phase delays, Φ1 and Φ2. For LOC Φ1 is 0° and Φ2 is -90°. For GP both
phase delays Φ1 and Φ2 are -90°. In addition, the attenuators (Att 3, 4, 5 and 6) are used to
get the correct DDM value of the signal to the standby monitor.

SECTION 8 DETAILED TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION

Block description

POWER SUPPLY

The input voltages to the board are 5V, +15V, -15V and Digital ground from the ILS.

The RM unit uses 5V as input for the on-board switching regulators from Linear Technology. A
LTC3614 unit produces 3.3V, a LTC3615 produces 1.8V and 1.0V and a LT3060 produces
1.5V for the display system. The CPU uses 1.0V, 1.8V and 3.3V. Most of the Logic on the
board is 3.3V with 5V level-converters to the rest of the ILS.

Only the AD system utilizes the +/-15V voltages from the ILS.

CPU

The CPU is the Power PC processor MPC8308 from Freescale. The processor is running at a
core frequency of 400MHz with a 266 Mword/s (133 MHz clk) interface to the DDR2 SDRAM.

In addition to the CPU core, the MPC8308 includes several advanced peripheral controllers
and busses. The use of them are listed below:

DDR2 Memory Controller to three DDR2 devices

Local Bus: RMS bus, FLASH, LCD controller and UARTs

TSEC1 Controller 10/100 base-T TX Ethernet Port

TSEC2 Controller I/O used as GPIO

SD-Interface Used as GPIO

SPI controller Routed to KD-board

USB controller to USB transceiver, which is connected to the USB con-


nector

PCI Express (not used)

UARTs UART1 used for local bus, UART2 communicates with


TCA1218

I2C controllers IIC1 is local I2C-bus, IIC2 is the global I2C bus

IRQs Used for power down pre-warning, UARTs and Keyboard

SECTION 8 DETAILED TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION

The interrupt inputs to the CPU are as follows:


• IRQ0_n: Power down pre-warning.
• IRQ1_n: UART_A, active high
• IRQ2_n: UART_B, active high
• IRQ3_n: Keyboard interrupt

ECC DRAM / NOR FLASH

The board has 256 Mbyte DDR2 RAM of type Micron MT47H64M16HR-3 IT:H (ref 25120).
The CPU interfaces three DDR2 devices (including one for ECC support).

A 512 Mbit (64 Mbyte) NOR FLASH, organised as 32 M x16 bit, is used for Non-volatile stor-
age of Program code and logged measurement data. The CPU is set up to boot from the top
boot sector. The Program code is transferred to the DDR2 memory and thereafter executed
from the DDR2 memory.

The MPC8308 provides a 32 bits DDR2 RAM controller with ECC support. The RM1823A pro-
vides 256 Mbyte of DDR2 Memory. Three 64Mx16 bits DDR2 chips forms the DDR2 memory
array. Only 8 data bit lines of the ECC memory chip are used. The DDR2 controller operates
at 133 MHz, and is therefore able to support 266 Mword/s data transfer rate. The DDR2 mem-
ory is used as program and data memory.

The layout and the DDR2 RAM controller also support 512 Mbyte of DDR2 memory by using
three 128Mx16 devices.

WATCHDOG AND RESET

A watchdog circuitry safeguards the program performance. The MPC8308 CPU has an inter-
nal watchdog unit. The unit can be configured by software to give a non-maskable interrupt or
a hard reset on watchdog timeout. If the VDD_IN (+5V) falls below 4.2V, an interrupt (power
down pre-warning) is generated to the MPC8308 (IRQ0n).

In case any MPC8308 supply rails rise higher than the specification, an overvoltage reset sig-
nal is generated. This assures that the MPC8308 do not perform unpredictable operations
during the overvoltage condition.

The power rails, 3.3V, 1.8V, 1.5V and 1.0V are monitored by a power supply monitor,
LTC2938 (U103). The Over voltage protection signal is gated with the 1V5 supply rail on the
LTC2938. The LTC2938 generates a Power On reset (PORESETN) to the MPC8308 at power
up. If any of the supplies falls below a defined threshold, PORESETN is generated.

The Green CPU POWER GOOD LED (D102) will be turned off in case the power monitor gen-
erates reset.

In addition, all power supply rails may be measured via the on board A/D converter

LCD CONTROL
Instruction Manual

The LCD controller is located on RM 1823 and is based on the Epson S1D13781 LCD. The
controller is accessed via the local bus and chip select CS2n is used for accessing the control-
ler. The LCD controller is configured for 16-bit direct mode1 bus operation.

PDT[23:16] are used as GPIO control lines to the display. In addition, VSYNC, HSYNC, DE
and DOTCLK lines are provided between the display controller and display.

Based on the 24 MHz CLKI input clock, the internal PLL is set up to generate a 40 MHz inter-
nal MCLK.

PFDCLK = CLKI/18h = 1 MHz (reg[12h] = 17h)

MCLK = POCLK = PFDCLK * 28h = 40 MHz (reg[14h] = 27h)

KEYPAD AND DISPLAY

The LCD display is of type Sharp LQ035Q3DW02 (or equivalent) 3.5'' and is located on the
KD 1824.

The keypad is located on KD 1824 and consists of five push-buttons (up, down, left, right and
OK), directly connected to a TCA6416A device that communicates with the RM-board via the
local I2C bus. The keypad is used for menu selection at the front panel in case a computer
connection with the RMM program is not available. The other push-buttons are QUICKREAD,
which provides instantaneous access to readout of the primary parameters, and BACK. The
BACK push-button return the user to the previous screen.

USB

A SMSC USB3300-EZX USB transceiver is used for connection to the USB connector on the
KD 1824 front panel. The USB connector can be used as a local port for connecting to the
RMM program.

DUART / RS-232 DRIVERS

UART1 is used for the Local port buffered with V.28 buffer

UART2 is used for communication with TCA 1218. Buffered with +5V CMOS buffer.

LCS3 is used for accessing the DUART (SC16C2552B).

The RM 1823A module provides 4 asynchronous serial ports. All ports are connected to the
back plane connector P1. 2 ports are implemented by means of an external DUART

(ST16C2552). The last 2 serial ports are supported by the 2 internal UARTs in the MPC8308.
The use of the ports are listed below:

UART1: Local Port

DUART1: Remote port1

DUART2: Remote port2

SECTION 8 DETAILED TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION

IIC CONTROLLER / IIC-IF

IIC1 is used for internal devices and IIC2 for the global I2C-bus.

The board has two I2C interfaces provided by the I2C controllers in the CPU. One, I2C-1, is
used for local on-board I2C devices.

I2C-2 is provided to the board connector to be used for external I2C devices (boards). The
I2C-2 bus is level translated to +5V signal levels by means of the PCA9306.

The TCA6416 IO expander provides 16 GPIO that is accessible via the on board I2Cbus
(IIC1). The output level for the GPIO is 3.3V. All GPIOs are configured as inputs at power up

The RTC provides time data and can run on both battery and external 3.3V voltage (V3P3)

The A/D converter has eight input channels, one is for collecting maintenance data from other
boards and some of the others are used for measuring internal voltages.

The TCA 6416A #1 (there may be two such devices on the same bus) provides control signals
- address and enable - for the AD system, the battery measurement function and speaker
selection.

The TCA 6416A #2 is located on the KD1824 and is connected to the keypad.

ETHERNET-IF

The TSEC1 Controller is used as a10/100 base-T TX Ethernet Port and interfaces through a
DP83848K single port ethernet transceiver. The Ethernet port is located at the back of the
motherboard MB 1575 inside the ILS cabinet.

The device uses auto negotiation to select 10Mb/s or100 Mb/s half/full duplex,

CPU GPIO AND CONFIG/PCB/ID

The GPIO circuitry is used for the following purposes:


• Four lines are used as interrupt inputs from TCA 1218 and the three Monitor boards
(MON1/MON2/STBY MON)
• Interface to user config platform U303. The dipswitch provides various boot options
and shall normally not be changed, i.e. they shall be set to the factory setting all
switches OFF (or '1111', no connections to GND)
• Four lines used for PCB ID. These are hardcoded to determine the version of the mod-
ule

REAL TIME CLOCK AND BATTERY

The board has a real time clock circuit (RTC) with battery backup to be used for display and
time stamping of events and it has also a RAM that is used for storage of data such as events
and measurements. A jumper plug can be removed to disconnect the battery to avoid draining
during long timer storage.
Instruction Manual

Two components (diodes/resistors) are mounted in series with the battery for protection
against overheating in case of short circuit.

SECTION 8 DETAILED TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION

The RTC communicates with the CPU via the I2C No. 2. Battery voltage is monitored by the
RMS via the A/D circuitry. To prevent discharging of the battery, the voltage is sampled by the
AD only when an activation signal opens the transistor of an optocoupler.

Battery Jumper S101:

Jumper installed: Battery connected to RTC

Jumper not installed: Battery disconnected from RTC

During storage and transportation, jumper shall not be installed on S101

The battery can be disconnected by removing jumper S101 when the module is being stored.
The battery voltage is measured using an optocoupler switch in order not to discharge the bat-
tery. The battery provides approximately one month of memory retention at continuous use
(system power turned off). RMS battery status is reported by the RMS system as Maintenance
Parameter RMS BATTERY.

When replacing this battery please note below Warning text regarding handling of Lithium bat-
teries.

CAUTION:
Danger of explosion if incorrectly replaced. Install with + pole facing out as marked on
battery holder. Replace only with CR2032 or equivalent type.
Following precautions for Safe Handling and Use of Lithium Batteries should be noted:
Do not disassemble, crush, expose to fire or high temperatures/sunlight
Do not short or install with incorrect polarity
Dispose in accordance with appropriate regulations.

ANALOGUE INTERFACE

The analogue interface block contains two analogue multiplexers and an A/D-converter. The
main function of this block is to measure analogue signals provided from several measure-
ment points in the NORMARC 70xxB equipment. The analogue multiplexers are connected to
the same address bus with separate enable bits. This allows the analogue inputs to be meas-
ured separately as single ended signals, or to be paired for differential measurements.

The AD converter is the LTC2309 from Linear Technology. It is an 8 channel, 12 bit A/D with
I2C interface. The LTC2309 includes a 2.5V reference. The 2.5V reference is internally ampli-
fied to 4.096V and provided on the REFCOMP pin. The LTC2309 is configured for single
ended unipolar mode, with input range 0-4.096V. The AD converter is used for monitoring all
supply voltage rails, the backup battery for RTC and to measure the selected analogue input.

SPEAKER WITH AMPLIFIER

The module has a speaker to be used for monitoring of the Ident tones received from the LF
boards via the backplane. There are four sources, CL and CLR from both LF1 and LF2 that
that can be selected as audio through an analogue MUX by digital inputs from the I/O circuitry.
The signals in are named PAA_KEY[3:0].

DME interface
Instruction Manual

The DME interface is used to connect the DME equipment to the ILS. This interface has opto-
couplers to isolate the equipment. These signals are routed from the CI module to the TX con-
trol in the cabinet. The DME interface is configurable using straps.

SECTION 8 DETAILED TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION

Analogue multiplexer

The analogue multiplexer is used to select one of more analogue inputs. The select input is
controlled by the RMS. The outputs are routed to the RMS. All external voltage inputs are
adjusted to correct ranges before measured. The interface can select values such as outdoor
and indoor temperature, mains voltage (trough a transformer), external analogue voltages,
battery and battery charger voltages and currents. The CI module does not interpret the
measured values.

USB interface

This is an multiplexer that select either the RS-232 input or the USB input to the RMS. When a
PC is connected to the USB connector and the com port is opened the USB input is selected.
When the USB com port is de-selected or the USB cable is removed, then the RS-232 input is
selected.

RS-232 Drivers/Receivers

This block converts the signals between logical levels and RS-232 levels.

Micro controller

This block consists of an AVR micro controller. Most serial data are routed trough this control-
ler. How to route and change format of this data is decided from the configuration, see Table
7-15

The RC data to/from the TX control is always routed through the micro controller and then to
the internal or external modem. If configured, the micro controller will include RMM data from
the RMS in the same data stream. If not configured, the RMM data will be routed to Remote 1.
Depending on the configuration different formats on the data and bit rates will be selected.
This block also include external RAM and an address latch, and a strap to reset the micro con-
troller.

Watchdog

The micro controller has a built in watchdog. This watchdog has its own oscillator that gener-
ates a clock that is divided down. This divided value runs a counter. If this counter overruns,
the micro controller will be reset. This counter will be reset in the programs main loop if the
program runs correctly.

Mains failure

The micro controller reads in all the Mains Warnings signals from the PC 1749 cards. If one
PC 1749 is connected (PC 1749 Sense 2 is open/high), the micro controller will route Mains
Warning 1 and 2 to Mains Failure 1 and 2. If two PC 1749s are connected (PC 1749 Sense 2
is low), the micro controller will route Mains Warning 1 to Mains Failure 1 and Mains Warning
3 to Mains Failure 2.

SECTION 8 DETAILED TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION

RMM data

When RMM data is combined with TC data, the TC data has priority. The micro controller uses
hardware flow control to control the input of RMM data. This is done by deactivating the CTS
signal on the RMM port when there are 64 bytes or less free space in the RMM data input
buffer. The CTS signal is activated again when 32 bytes or less remain in the input buffer.

Digital multiplexers

These blocks are used to route digital signals. There are a total of three digital multiplexers.
• One used to multiplex RMM data to a connector (Remote1) or to the micro controller
• One used to multiplex RC(/RMM) data to the internal or external modem
• One used to multiplex data from RS-232 or from USB local connector

Modem

This block converts logic level serial signals to and from V.22/1200bps or V.22bis//2400bps
level leased line signals depending on protocol selected for interface. The modem is con-
trolled on the same serial lines as the data, using AT commands.

Shift registers

This is the interface for digital signals, this block contains shift registers used to convert paral-
lel/discrete inputs and outputs to serial form read/written by the micro controller. This block
also contains pull-ups for the inputs.

The following shift registers are present in this block


• One output register used to control the output of the User I/O
• One output register used to generate mains failure to the RMS and to control 6 LEDs
• One input register used to read the status of the User I/O
• Two input registers used to read the status from the PC 1749 card(s), read auxiliary
information (Intruder, Fire_Al, Air, Spare) and to read two test inputs.

The status from the inputs are sent to the RMS using the IIC bus, or sent to the remote con-
trol.

LEDs

There are a total of 9 LEDs on the Connection Interface. 3 of these are connected to the micro
controller, while the other 6 are connected to the shift registers. These are inside the micro
controller block and shift register block and are not visible on the block diagram.

Configuration

This block contains 8 configuration jumpers. The settings of these jumpers are read into the
micro controller using a shift register. Only three are defined, the rest are for future expan-
sions.

The Remote Control unit's purpose is to provide an interface for the ILS cabinet from the con-
trol tower (where normally a Slave Panel is located), or technical equipment room at the air-
port. The remote control provides the ILS cabinet with user inputs and selections and displays
the status of the ILS.

The Remote Control is communicating with the ILS cabinet via a serial link over a telephone
line using an integral modem in the Remote Control, or via an external modem. Inputs from
the front panel switches such as ON/OFF, Changeover and Access Grant and Interlock signal

Block description:

AVR

This block consists of an AVR microcontroller that interprets serial data from the ILS cabinet
and generates status outputs to front panel LEDs, slave panel, and buzzer signal based on
the received status. Failure in data from ILS results in alarm condition. Inputs from the front
panel keyboard, control/AUX inputs and Slave Panel are collected and sent to the ILS rack as
serial data. The microcontroller also handles the multiplexing and de-multiplexing of the com-
bined RC and RMM data protocol when selected. A watchdog function (enabled in SW) is also
part of this controller. The AVR operates on 16 MHz.

SWITCH

This is an electronic switch that select between internal modem and RS 232/external modem
for interface with the ILS cabinet depending on protocol selected for interface.

SECTION 8 DETAILED TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION

• 28VDC Fused supply for Slave Panel

The following slave panel inputs are provided:


• ON/OFF - On/off push-button switch
• SILENCE - External Aural alarm reset, push-button switch

Refer to Chapter 7.2.14 and 7.2.17 for lists of connectors and signals. These signals are for
interfacing SF 1344/SP 1394 slave panels to be interfaced via discrete signals and their func-
tion is similar to the same function found on the Front Panel except from the audible Alarm
and Silence that can be configured for individual operation. These panels have LED indicators
that will be turned on when output signal is low. Two slave panels (LEDs) operated on 28V
might be connected in parallel. Current limiting resistors are located on the slave panels.

CAN Interface

See 7.2.14 and 7.2.17 for lists of connectors and signals. These signals are for interfacing
SP 1754 slave panels to be interfaced via the CAN bus.

The Remote Control CAN bus operates on 50kbps providing a range up to 1000m over a
twisted pair.

The CAN bus interface is available on 2 connectors providing all status information from the
ILS as output to the CAN bus; and Access Grant, ON/OFF, Changeover, Silence, Interlock
and TX_OFF as input from the CAN bus.

In addition to the information shown on the front panel (with optional signals), Monitor warning
signal (from MO or MF) is also available from the ILS cabinet and provided on the CAN bus.
Four uncommitted inputs and three outputs are also transferred between each remote control
and the CAN-bus and are available for connection on the backplane (see 7.2.14, J12 and
J13).

The address for the data between the remote controls and the slave panel is on the form xxx-
yyyy. xxx is the back plane address and can have any value between (and included) 000 to
111. yyyy indicates the unit (within the back plane) that have sent this message. All the remote
controls send data with the same structure.

See Table 8-3 for yyyy values and assigned units.

Data from the remote located left most in the remote frame assembly will be displayed left
most on the Slave Panel etc. This means that the Slave Panel does not need to have any
information regarding the source of the data. The Slave Panel will display the information from
the remote in the third left most position in the remote frame assembly regardless of if it is a
DME remote or OM remote.

Table 8-3 CAN Address

CANopen requires each node to either send heartbeat messages or implement a node-guard-
ing protocol. Heartbeat messages shall be sent every second by the RC unit.

Also note that the termination strap CAN_TERM described in 7.2.14 (P22) must be installed in
each end unit on the CAN bus.

CANopen messages containing ILS status and control are sent and received every 250 ms .
The interlock signal transferred from the slave to the remote control is a status (typically active
low level) signal and will be sent from only one source (Slave), while the other controls mes-
sages might be received from multiple sources (Slave Panels). Integrity of the CAN messages
is ensured by CRC.

Interlock

See 7.2.18 (P18) for connectors and signals.This interface is used for external Interlock (run-
way select) switch or RSU. An output corresponds to the Interlock signal from the CAN bus
typically provided by the Slave Panel. This signal (active low) can be looped back to the Inter-
lock input on the Remote Control directly or via an RSU as shown on Figure 8-28 and sent to
the associated ILS cabinet(s). Figure 8-29 shows similar interconnection using "old" slave
panels.

TX OFF and TRUE OFF

See 7.2.14 and 7.2.17 for connectors and signals There is a TRUE_OFF signal as output indi-
cating (when low) that the ILS equipment is not radiating and there is a TX_OFF input that is
transmitted to the associated ILS equipment. When TRUE_OFF output on the LOC RC is con-
nected to TX_OFF input on the associated GP RC on the TX OFF connector, the GP will auto-
matically shut down when LOC shuts down.

The TRUE_OFF signal is also available on the INTERL (interlock) connector to be used by
other equipment such as RSU and Category Status panels.

JTAG interface
Instruction Manual

A 10 pin connector with AVR JTAG pinout is located on the RC 1752 board. This interface is
used for programming and debugging during manufacturing.

SECTION 8 DETAILED TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION

AUX channels

See 7.2.17 (P14 and P15) for connectors and signals. There are 3 discrete outputs represent-
ing signals AUX OUT[2:0] received from the ILS equipment and there are 3 inputs
AUX_IN[2:0] (active low) that are sent to the ILS equipment.

OPT input and output signals

See 7.2.14 (J12 and J13) for connectors and signals This interface is used for transfer of dis-
crete signals between the Remote Control and the CAN bus, typically used by the Slave
Panel. One application is interfacing DME status and control signals between the Fernau RCP
and the Slave Panel.

ILS cabinet interface

See 7.2.6 and 7.2.13 for connections and signals. The Remote Control can interface with the
ILS cabinet either using the internal modem by connecting the 2-wire leased/telephone line to
the LL connector, or via an external modem connected to the MODEM connector. The AVR
will route the interface to the internal or external modem depending on protocol selected (see
Table 7-15).

The internal leased line modem conforms to V.22 (1200 bps) and V.22bis (2400 bps) standard
for use with ordinary 2-wire 600 ohm telephone line. The transmitter level is -10 dBm, and the
receivers dynamic range is from -10 dBm to -34 dBm. External modem shall be connected to
the MODEM RS232 DTE pinout connector with parameters as shown in Table 7-15. HW
handshake (RTS/CTS and DTR/DCD) is supported.

The microcontroller will automatically configure the internal modem as required by AT com-
mands via its serial interface, while the external modem will need to be configured manually
by DIP switches and/or AT commands.

For a description of interface protocols, refer to 7.3.8.1, Table 7-15.

RMM data

See 7.2.6 for connectors and signals. The Remote Control will transfer RMM data over the
same interface line as the Remote Control data when protocol 1 or 2 is selected
(see Table 7-15). RMM PC shall be connected to the RMM RS232 DCE pinout connector with
parameters 9600, N, 8, 1. HW handshake (RTS/CTS and DTR/DCD) is supported. DCD is
activated only when a connection has been established with the ILS cabinet. The microcon-
troller uses hardware flow control to control the input of RMM data. This is done by deactivat-
ing the CTS signal on the RMM port when there are 64 bytes or less free space in the RMM
data input buffer. The CTS signal is activated again when 32 bytes or less remain in the input
buffer.
RMM data transferred from the ILS cabinet to the RC are compressed using zlib and the RC
decompresses this data before sending to the RMM serial port.

Power Supply

The Remote Control operates on 24 V DC nominal, range 21 - 30VDC and other voltages are

generated within the unit. There are 24V outputs available on the connectors for Slave Panel
and CAN bus fused on the backplane.

SECTION 8 DETAILED TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION

Failure detection

As described above there are different indications for failures. COMMS will indicate that the
link with the ILS cabinet is broken. CAN ERR indicates low level communication error on the
CAN bus or missing interlock signal from the CAN Slave Panel. CAN ERR will only be acti-
vated if CFG_CAN_ENABLE strap is inserted. Missing interlock information from CAN Slave
Panel (interlock) will only be reported if both CFG_CAN_ENABLE and
CFG_CAN_SLAVE_COMMS are inserted.

The AVR has built-in testing mechanisms that will indicate errors by a non-operational RC and
with front panel LEDs blinking at 4 Hz according to the following table:

LED Reported failure


MON DIS RAM test failure
MAINT Flash memory failure
IDENT SPI shift register loopback failure
SERVICE Invalid service mode (SERVICE_M1/M2) configuration strap settings.

In addition to the front panel LEDs, there are 4 LEDs on the RC 1752 board that can be used
for diagnostics. The first (closest to the front panel) amber LED blinks each time a message is
sent to the ILS cabinet. The second amber LED blinks each time a message is received from
the ILS cabinet.

The function of the green and red LEDs follow the CANopen Indicator Specification (CiA DS-
303):

Some functions such as ON/OFF, Changeover, Access Grant can be operated via different
inputs, i.e. from Front Panel or Slave Panel (old or new). These inputs will be "OR-ed", mean-
ing that they have the same priority.

General description:

The Category Status unit's purpose is to display and control the status of one runway, includ-
ing the current operational ILS category. The operational status is displayed on LEDs located
on the front panel of the module.

The Category Status collects status from LOC RC, GP RC, FFM and optionally two other
external equipments like a DME or a MKR in addition to status from the opposite runway. This
status is then used to calculate the ILS category for which the runway will operate under.

The category status shown on the front panel are sent on CAN-bus as a separate message,
intended primarily for the slave panel.

The category status panel contains an RC 1752A Remote Control and an CF 1815A front
panel module to be located in a rack including LOC and GP Remote Controls. The rack will
normally be located in the control tower.

Block description:

AVR

This block consists of an AVR microcontroller that interprets serial data from the ILS cabinet
and generates status outputs to front panel LEDs, slave panel (through CAN-bus), and buzzer
signal based on the received status. Failure in data from expected present remote controls
(through CAN-bus) results in comm. fault. The displayed status for the CSU is sent in a CAN-
bus message. A watchdog function (enabled in SW) is also part of this controller. The AVR
operates on 16 MHz.

SHIFT IN and SHIFT OUT

These blocks contains shift registers used to convert parallel/discrete inputs and outputs to

SECTION 8 DETAILED TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION

LEDs

These blocks contain the Front Panel LEDs used to indicate the operational status for the run-
way and status/diagnostic LEDs on the RC 1752A board for maintenance.

SWITCHES

This block contains the push-buttons and switches used for operator input on the Front Panel.

SPEAKER

This block contains a speaker and circuitry for setting volume of the audio alarm signal pro-
vided by the AVR.

IN and OUT

These blocks contain interface circuitry for input and output signals.

PWR

This block contains DC/DC converter for converting the 27V input to 5V supply for the boards.

CAN

This block contains interface circuits for the CAN bus interface.

CONFIG

This contains jumper plugs for configuration of various functions provided by the unit.

CAN interface

These signals are for interfacing to LOC RC, GP RC, EXT1/2 RC (optional) and slave panel.
The CAN-interface is available as two pins on the backplane connector P1 on RC 1752A.

CANopen defines a standard for exchange of information between modules connected on a


CAN bus. Using it for the remote control data, it allows interfacing to for example I/O units
from other manufacturers.

CANopen is based on the CAN-bus data link layer and high-speed transceiver as specified in
ISO 11898, part 1 and 2. In addition, CANopen specifies bit-timing and recommends pin-
assignments for connectors. Manufactures follow guidelines in the CANopen specification
producing devices with characteristics which will operate with each other. There are a number
of bit rates based on bus length: (based on 5nS/m cable propagation delay).

125kbps up to a 500 meter maximum bus length, 50kbps up to a 1000 meter, 20kbps up to a
2500 meter length, 10kbps up to a 5000 meter maximum bus length

The Category Status Assembly CAN bus operates on 50kbps providing sufficient range and
data capacity.
Instruction Manual

The CAN bus interface is available on the back plane connector providing all ILS status infor-
mation from LOC/GP/EXT1 (optional)/EXT2 (optional) remote controls as inputs from the CAN
bus; and Access Grant, ON/OFF, Changeover, Silence, Interlock and TX_OFF as input from

SECTION 8 DETAILED TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION

the slave panel connected to the CAN bus. The CSU provides for front panel status as output
on the CAN-bus, and sends updated status messages four times/sec.

The address for the data between the category status unit and the remote controls/slave panel
is on the form xxxyyyy. xxx is the back plane address for the remote controls, and can have
any value between (and included) 000 to 111. yyyy indicates the unit (within the back plane)
that have sent this message. All the connected remote controls send data with the same
structure.

See the table below for yyyy values and assigned units.

0000 None (reserved)
0001 11 (left most in the remote) LOC RC, required
0010 10 (second left most in the remote) GP RC, required
0011 01 (third left most in the remote) EXT1 RC (DME/OM/MM), optional
0100 00 (fourth left most in the remote) EXT2 RC (DME/OM/MM), optional
0101 Not used CSU (CSA 1816A)
0110 Interlock status from slave

CANopen requires each node to either send heartbeat messages or implement a node-guard-
ing protocol. Heartbeat messages shall be sent every second by the CSU.

Info: Note that the termination strap CAN_TERM on MB 1753 must be installed in each end
unit on the CAN bus.

CANopen messages containing LOC/GP status and control are sent and received every 250
ms. The interlock signal transferred from the slave to the remote control is a status (typically
active low level) signal and will be sent from only one source (Slave), while the other controls
messages might be received from multiple sources (Slave Panels). Integrity of the CAN mes-
sages is ensured by CRC.

Interlock

The interlock signal used on the CSA 1816A will be extracted from the LOC RC status mes-
sage on the CAN-bus. If the interlock is not used, it can be disabled by inserting strap S19.

JTAG interface

See Table 8-5 A 10 pin connector with AVR JTAG pinout is located on the RC 1752A board.
This interface is used for programming and debugging during manufacturing.

RECIPROCAL inputs

See Table 8-5. This interface is used to read the RECIPROCAL status inputs on OPT_IN_1
(reciprocal LOC) and OPT_IN_2 (reciprocal GP). The signals are active low and fail safe,
meaning that a low input signals a "TRUE OFF" -situation from the respective reciprocal
inputs. The reciprocal inputs can be disabled by inserting strap S20.

SECTION 8 DETAILED TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION

Power Supply

The Remote Control operates on 24 V DC nominal, range 21 - 30VDC and other voltages are
generated within the unit. There are 24V outputs available on the connectors for Slave Panel
and CAN bus fused on the backplane.

Failure detection

As described above there are different indications for failures. COMMS will indicate that the
link with the LOC/GP remote controls is not received for more than a specified amount of time,
or that the validation of the message content fails.

Four internal LEDs are available for status and diagnostic use on the RC 1752A:
• Debug/diagnostics 1: D2, amber
• Debug/diagnostics 2: D3, amber
• CAN RUN: D4, green, indicating state of CAN-bus operation
• CAN ERR: D5, red, indicating CAN-bus error

The AVR has built-in testing mechanisms, such as Flash and RAM test. In addition a shift-reg-
ister test is performed (sent bytes are also chained into the SPI read sequence).

SECTION 8 DETAILED TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION

Functionality:

The Slave Panel will display status information from different equipments, all this information
is received over the CAN bus connected to the Slave Panel. The Panel has two CAN bus con-
nectors, this enables that more than one Slave Panels can be connected to the same bus in a
chain. The last panel on the bus must terminate the bus. Power to the Slave Panel is sourced
on the same bus using a separate cable pair or on a separate connector on the slave.

Addressing:

To select the associated Remote Control unit, the Slave Panel has a rotary switch that gener-
ate a four bit data word (only three are used, i.e. eight combinations). This switch must be set
to the same value as the switch on the backplane where the Remote Controls are located for
this Slave Panel.

The address for the data between the Remote Controls and the slave panel is on the form
xxxyyyy. xxx is the back plane address and can have any value between (and included) 000 to
111. yyyy indicates the unit (within the back plane) that have sent this message. All the
Remote Controls send data with the same message structure.

See the Table 8-10 for yyyy values and assigned units.

Data from the Remote Control located leftmost in the remote frame assembly will be displayed
leftmost on the Slave Panel etc. The user will have information of the equipment connected to
the Slave Panel from the label on front.

Far Field Monitor status:

The Slave Panel will use the information in the FFM bits in the CAN message with yyyy =
0001 (i.e. the LOC Remote Control must be located in position 1 when FFM is used) to control
the FFM LEDs on the front.

Alternative control input/output:

Position 3 LEDs on the Slave Panel can be controlled from the OPT_IN1-4 bits on the Remote
Control with yyyy = 0010 and position 4 can be controlled the same way but from the Remote
Instruction Manual

Control with yyyy = 0001. For each of the two positions, a dip switch will select the source
input. Table 8-11 shows the mapping of the signal and the front LEDs. The ALARM LED is the
inverted value of the NORMAL LED. The SERVICE and MAINS FAIL LEDs will be a ‘or’ func-

Table 8-12 shows the alternative output. The slave will send one CAN message with the
CAN_OPT_OUT1 bit set while the ON/OFF button is pressed when the CFG_PULSE_POS
dip switch is set.

If CFG_PULSE_POS is not set the slave will send one CAN_OPT_OUT1 or one
CAN_OPT_OUT2 message when the ON/OFF button is pressed. CAN_OPT_OUT1 will be
sent of Normal Lamp is active, else CAN_OPT_OUT2 will be sent.

CAN_OPT_OUT2 TX ON/OFF OFF (only if NORMAL is on)
CAN_OPT_OUT3 SILENCE SILENCE SILENCE

Table 8-12 Alternative outputs (POS3-4)

Pressing SILENCE will send one CAN_OPT_3 message.

After a message with CAN_OPT_OUT1-3 set is sent, then one message with the same bit
cleared is sent.

Com Failure:

The Slave Panel have 5 dip switches used indicate to the Slave Panel if a Remote Control or
CSU is present. The Remote Controls/CSU sends out a status message on the CAN. If this
message is not received within 300ms from Remote Controls/CSU and it is configured to be
present, the COM FAIL lamp will be lit. The NORMAL/WARNING LED for corresponding
equipment will be turned off and the ALARM LED will be turned off or on depending of a con-
figuration dip switch. When a valid message is present again, the COM FAIL will go off. The
COM FAIL will also go on if the COMMS bit in the received message from a Remote Control is
set.

CAT Status (SP 1754B):

The CAT status LEDs are information derived from the status of the associated ILS equip-
ment. This status is received from the CAN-bus. It is necessary to have a category status unit
connected to the CAN-bus to generate this information.
Instruction Manual

Mains Fail:
The Mains Failure LED is generated by the logic ‘or’ function between the Mains Failure 1 and
2 from all the Remote Controls (including OPT_IN4 bits if configured).

SECTION 8 DETAILED TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION

Service:

The Service LED is generated by the logic ‘or’ function between the Service from the Remote
Controls (including OPT_IN3 bits if configured).

Runway Selected:

The Runway Selected LED is the CAN_INTERLOCK_IN signal from the left most Remote
Control (yyyy = 0001).

Interlock:

In a system with more than one Slave Panel, only one Slave Panel must transmit the interlock
status message. The other slave will be configured to not to send this message. If more than
one interlock switch will be used, this must be solved by hard wiring. The interlock status mes-
sage will be sent from the Slave Panel each 250ms. The interlock signal is received on a con-
nector on the Slave Panel.

ON/OFF:

The ON/OFF push buttons on the front can be disabled if the CFG_DIS_ONOFF dip switch is
set.

Dim functionality:

The LEDs on the Slave Panel can be set to reduced intensity be pressing the front LAMP DIM
push button. Three levels exists. When the minimum level has been reached, the next level
will be maximum.

Audible Alarm:

The Slave Panel has a speaker that generates an audio alarm. This alarm is turned on
-if a Remote Control sets the alarm bit
-if a Remote Control clears the CAN_OPT_IN1 and the alternative inputs are config-
ured to be used
-if a Remote Control or the CSU stops sending messages and it is configured to be
present
-if a Warning occurs and the CFG_BUZ_ALL_W is set
-if a Mains Fail is set and the CFG_BUZ_MAINS_W is set
-if a COM FAIL is present
-if the CFG_UPGRADE is set and one of the remotes deactivate an alarm or when one
of the remotes deactivate a warning (including Mains Warning 1 or 2) or when Com
Failure is deactivated
-if the CSU sets the UPGRADE bit
-if the CSU sets the DOWNGRADE bit

Figure B-1 NORMARC 7000B Block Diagram for FFM interface

The Far Field Monitor interface for NORMARC 7000B consists of a common FFM Interface
(FI 1392) and one FFM Controller (FC 1927) for each of the two main monitors. The FI 1392 is
located on the wall-mounted part of the cabinet (above connection interface CI 1748 inside
the cabinet), while the FC 1927 cards are placed next to their corresponding monitor
MO 1820.

The FFM parameters integrates with the other monitor parameters for monitor data storage
etc.

B.1.2 Detailed Description FC 1927

General Description

The FC 1927 is a FFM controller that interacts with the connected FFM through serial data
messages. The FFM parameter values are extracted from the received FFM messages, and
sent to the corresponding MO 1820 via high speed UART. The values are compared against
the alarm limits, and the alarm status is then delayed according to the specified FFM alarm
delay. If any of the FFM parameters are outside the set limits, the MO 1820 generates an
alarm signal for the station control on the TC 1216.

FAR FIELD MONITOR - (LOC ONLY)

Block Description

Microcontroller/NMS 283

This block consists of an AVR microcontroller with peripheral circuits (RAM, buffers etc.)
The microcontroller sends commands to and receives FFM data from, the NM 7720 FFM via
the FI 1392 board. FFM data is extracted from the serial messages, and the raw parameter
values are transmitted to the MO 1820 boards via high speed UART. Discrete I/O is used for
some parameter exchange between the FC and MO 1820. System parameters and FFM con-
troller configuration data is exchanged with the RMA 1822 board via the I2C bus

Configuration

The following parameters can be configured on the FC 1927. See Appendix D for more
details.

Setting: Value Description


FFM communication 0-255 sec. Sets the timeout before lost communication with the FFM will
error timeout generate a "FFM Comm. fail" parameter warning
FFM communication(*) Normal Data from the FFM is requested every 500ms, and the battery
status is updated every 5th second
Slow Data from the FFM is requested every 1000ms, and the battery
status is updated every 10th second if at least one of the TX
feedback signals are active

Status LEDS

The status LEDs show the operating mode of the FFM controller. In normal operation, the four
LEDs have the following functions:

LED 1: Off when there is no FFM alarm, on when there is one or more alarms.

LED 2: Off when there is no FFM warning, on when there is one or more
warnings.

LED 3: On for a period of 100ms each time a message is sent to the FFM.

LED 4: On for a period of 100ms each time a message is received from the
FFM

LED fault indications

The FC 1927 has some built in test functionality. Program- and volatile memory CRC checks
are executed on boot-up, and at least once per 60 seconds. If any of these tests fail, the serial
interface will be disabled, LED3 and LED4 will flash at 4Hz, and the FFM_ERROR status bit
will be sent to the MO 1820.

B.2 Installation

B.2.1 Mechanical and electrical installation

FC 1927

Two FC 1927 cards are inserted in the vacant slots to the right of monitor 1 and monitor 2
respectively.

FI 1392

The FI 1392B is located above the connection interface CI 1748 inside the wall mounted part
of the cabinet. Two flat cables are connected from P1/P2 on FI 1392 to P9/P10 on MB 1575,
respectively.

The FI 1392B has one connector for interfacing to a NORMARC 7720 FFM. P5 is a standard
9 pin D-sub used for RS-232 interface to a NORMARC 7720.

B.2.2 Interfacing the NORMARC 7720 Far Field Monitor

The NORMARC 7720 FFM is connected to the NORMARC Localizer using a RS-232 inter-
face, usually using external modems, fibre-optic modems, Ethernet device servers, radio
modems or similar devices.

The NORMARC 7720 FFM comes with the required type of modem installed in the FFM cabi-
net, with all necessary cabling (except the external interface) connected.

In the Localizer cabinet, the chosen type of modem can be mounted on the DIN-rail in the bot-
tom of the door (wall mounted part) of the cabinet. 27V power (2A max) for the modem is sup-
plied from pin #1 (+27V) and #2 (GND) on "ANALOG PORT #2" on the CI 1748 board. Refer
to the CI 1748A protection cover. See figure B-4 for suggested modem placement. Note that
some features have been omitted for clarity.

• Sub-modules inside Power Supply are hot swappable

73892-IAPC/Rev.1/05-Apr-17 NORMARC 7011B-7034B

©Indra Navia AS Page C-1


POWER SUPPLY

• Based on proven COTS units with high MTBF


• Maintenance free compact batteries with 12 years battery life and front terminals (M6)
will normally be supplied
• Additional monitoring features

C.1.2 Details

The Power Supplies are based on the Micropack power system from Eltek Valere.

This system consists of standard modules easily mounted on a DIN rail. Several blocks have
been combined in the BC 1361K, L to create the perfect combination for ILS use.

C.1.2.1 Rectifier

The Micropack 24/240 WOR Rectifier Module is convection cooled


for system installation in harsh and noise sensitive environments.

It provides an output of 24V DC 240W, normally adjusted to about


27V depending on battery type (21.5-36VDC adjustment range).

C.1.2.2 Compack Controller

The Compack Controller is the monitoring and control unit for the rectifiers.

The controller has


• LEDs for local visual alarming (Major, Minor, Power ON)
• Ethernet for remote or local monitoring and control via
WEB Browser
• Ethernet port with HP Auto MDI/MDI-X for detection and
correction for straight-through and crossover cables.
Eliminates confusion whether to use straight cable or
crossover between controller and PC
• SNMP protocol with TRAP, SET and GET on Ethernet.
Email of TRAP alarms
• 3 programmable relay outputs for "traditional" remote
monitoring. One is used for generation of the "Battery
Warning" in the ILS cabinet
• 3 programmable multipurpose inputs (temperature, "digital inputs" or analog signals)

The controllers in the BC 1361K,L are programmed for use with the ILS with indications and
monitoring on ILS (RC and RMM).
Instruction Manual

For advanced customers there are numerous possibilities for enhanced monitoring and con-
trol of the Power Supply by using the controller's built in functionality in the Web browser.

fier slots.

These power supplies consist of:


• 4 pcs 24V Rectifier Modules in the BC 1361K, i.e 0.96kW
• 3 pcs 24V Rectifier Modules in the BC 1361L i.e. 0,72kW

POWER SUPPLY

C.1.3 Redundancy

In the BC 1361K (Cold Standby systems) 4 pcs 240W AC/DC Rectifier units are connected in
parallel to provide the power. However 2-3 units provide enough power for the ILS cabinet. If 1
of the Rectifiers units becomes faulty the ILS will still be fully operational but with some reduc-
tion in output power headroom. If 2 or more of the units become faulty a Battery Warning indi-
cation on the ILS will be given.

In the BC 1361L there are 3 240W AC/DC Rectifier units installed in each cabinet, thus two
such supplies are used.

The first group/supply is charging battery bank 1 and providing power to Tx1 while the second
group is charging battery bank 2 and providing power to Tx2. This gives full redundancy
between the two groups/supplies and in addition 1 Rectifier unit can be broken in each group
and the ILS will still be in full operation but with some reduction in output power headroom. If
2 or more of the units in each group become faulty a Battery Warning indication on the ILS will
be given.

This design means that the BC 1361K, L have extremely high MTBO.

A separate alarm output can be monitored providing information to the ILS cabinet also when
only one rectifier is faulty in which case the Power Supply is fully operational but with some
reduction in output power headroom. Normally this alarm is wired to User I/O channel 2 for
BC 1361K, and user I/O Channel 2 and 3 for BC 1361L.

Note that the Controller is not redundant within the BC 1361K,L however this unit is not vital
for the operation of the power supply. In case it is faulty, the charger units will operate as nor-
mal and a Battery Warning will be provided to the ILS cabinet.

C.1.4 Batteries

The Marathon FT backup batteries that will be normally supplied with these power supplies
are maintenance free and have a 12 years design life (80% remaining capacity) Battery oper-
ation will be provided for more than 4 hours (from each battery bank).

C.1.5 Operation

The Power Supply has Circuit Breakers available on the front panel providing following func-
tions:
• Mains ON/OFF - disconnects mains input(s)
• Load ON/OFF - disconnects the 27V DC output from the rectifiers to the ILS cabinet.
Note that this output powers the ILS cabinet and also provides the charging current to
the batteries
• Battery ON/OFF - disconnects the backup batteries from the ILS cabinet (for charging
and backup operation)
• BC 1361K and L have one circuit breaker for each function

The BC 1361K and L are mounted on the wall mount frame used for the ILS cabinet. These
charger cabinets have a removable front cover for access to the charger modules and inter-
connection terminals. Cable is entered through the cable glands in the bottom of the power
cabinet.

The Rectifier and Controller modules can be removed (hot swappable) from their back panel
by pressing in the lock in the front handle and lifting this up (see Quick Installation Guide)

POWER SUPPLY

C.1.6 Configuration

The power supply and associated ILS cabinet are supplied tested and configured from
Indra Navia AS.

Following situations might require configuration on site:

C.1.6.1 Replacing the Controller with a spare unit

The only difference in configuration between the controller in the BC 1361H-L Battery Charger
is that the controller in BC 1361H and BC 1361K is configured to expect 4 rectifier modules
while the controller in BC 1361J and BC 1361L is configured for 3 rectifier modules. Also the
temperature monitor function shall be disabled in the controller for the BC 1361K and
BC 1361L unless the optional temperature probe is supplied. Apart from this setting, the spare
controllers provided by Indra Navia AS are supplied with all settings required for all versions of
the power supply.

To perform this configuration use the Web Interface built into the Controller as follows:
• Connect the controller to a computer directly with a (crossed) network cable or via a
LAN.

If the IP address of the Controller unit is not known, it is necessary to download the
EVIPSetup Network Utility program from Eltek Valere and run this initially:
• Start the Network Utility program

HBK 2162-1

• The IP adress(es) of the Controller/cabinet will now be shown


• Highlight the controller and press the Web Interface button

The Web Interface program should then pop up with the logon window. Use admin as pass-
word and admin as user.

Following screen should then be shown:

• Open the System Conf. ->Rectifier window:

• Check that the Number of Rectifiers Installed is correct (3 for BC1361J and L or 4 for
BC 1361H and K)
• If the number is wrong, correct the number of rectifiers and click the Save icon in the
lower right corner

POWER SUPPLY

• Open the Battery Configuration window:

• Check that the Temperature Compensation Active box is checked for BC 1361H and J
or unchecked for BC 1361K and L. Modify if necessary and click the Save icon in the
lower right corner.
• Save the new setting and exit the program

A Users Guide for the Compack controller can also be downloaded from Eltek Valere for fur-
ther assistance.

C.1.6.2 Updating/full configuration

This requires a more extensive process to perform step by step since there are such a lot of
parameters to configure/check. The best solution is therefore to use an alternative program
PowerSuite that can be downloaded from Eltek Valere by which a full configuration can be
downloaded to the controller from file, for example first uploading the configuration from a
functioning controller to file and then downloading this to the new controller (use the import/
export configuration selection under the Tools menu). Remember to set correct number of rec-
tifiers according to .

C.1.6.3 Configuring the Digital User input on ILS

As mentioned under C.1.3 a separate warning from the Controller unit in the power supply is
wired to the ILS Digital User I/O channel 2 and 3 (BC 1361J and L only) on the CI 1210/
CI 1748 in the ILS. This is used for giving a Maintenance Warning indication on the ILS in
case a single rectifier module is failing.
Instruction Manual

To achieve this use the RMM program and configure the used Digital user input (in RMM;
ILS-Settings - Settings - Maintenance - User defined I/O) to:
• Name the input to Rectifier 1 or Rectifier 2

D.1.2 System requirements


• Operating system: 32 bit or 64 bit Microsoft Windows 7 (with SP1), Windows 8/8.1,
Windows 10
• Operating system language: English or French
• CPU/RAM: Same as for the selected operating system
• Hard disk: About 30 MB for program and initial database. Database size may increase
up to 2 GB for storing downloaded historical data.

D.1.3 Installing the software

To install the software, just run the NM7000RMM.msi setup. Follow the instructions in the setup
wizard. You need to enter the assigned license information during setup.

D.1.3.1 Installation notes


The database is by default stored in this folder (CommonAppDataFolder):*
C:ProgramDataIndra NaviaNORMARC 7000 RMM 3.0

Enter %programdata%Indra Navia in the Start menu search field to open the parent of the
above folder.

It is not possible to use configuration files and database file from versions prior to 3.0 with
this version. In case there is a need to use older configuration files and databases, it is
possible to install versions 1.2 and 2.x on the same computer which is running version 3.0.

When opening the database, the program will first try to open a ODBC system DSN with name
NM7000RMM, if that fails then it will try to open NM7000RMM.MDB stored in the
SupportFilesDir defined in the registry (see below) or in the installation folder of the program,
if that also fails it will try in the CommonAppDataFolder as defined above.

D.1.3.2 Driver for the USB port on the RMA 1822

The driver for this port is located in the USB-RMA1822A folder under the installation folder of
the RMM software.

NORMARC 7000B ILS

Each of these operations are described below.

D.2.1.1 Connect to a station

To connect to a station that has been set up in the station list, the station must first be selected
and then the “Connect” button clicked. The RMM software will connect to the station, before
the user is asked to log on to the ILS.

D.2.1.2 Add a new station

This function adds a new station to the station list. The settings for the new station are initialized
with default values. The user must select “Edit station” to customize the settings for the new
station.

D.2.1.3 Edit a station

To edit a station, select the desired station and click the “Edit station” button. The following
window will appear:

The following information has to be set correctly:

• Station name: Type in the desired name. The name may be up to 50 characters long.
• Port: Select the serial port on the PC that the connection shall use. The available
options are COM1 - COM32 and TCP/IP.
• Bitrate: Select the speed of the communication. The options are 2400, 4800 or 9600
bps. 9600 bps is the default bit rate.
• Connect method: Select Direct (null-modem), Dial up or Leased line connection.
WINDOWS RMM SOFTWARE

Direct connection is the default connect-method.


• Phone number/IP addr:port: Type the phone number or IP address and TCP port
number for the connection. This field is valid only for Dial up and TCP/IP connections.
• Modem: Select the modem in the dropdown list that matches the actual modem used.

• Enable automatic download: Check this box to automatically download the medium
time periodic storage from the ILS at the time you specify. Note that the storage will
only be downloaded if a user is logged on to the ILS at the specified time. Automatic
medium time storage download will not be performed if another storage download
(excluding event download) is in progress at the specified time.

D.2.1.4 Delete a station

In order to delete a station, select the station and click the “Delete station” button. The user is
asked to confirm before the deletion takes place. Note that the delete operation will also delete
all historical data stored in the database for the selected station. This may take a few seconds.

D.2.2 Logging on and off

After a connection has been established with an ILS the user must log on by entering the user
name and password(s).

The top panel of the ILS Logon window displays dial/connection progress, and when the
connection has been established it shows which port on the ILS the user is connected to, in
addition to the RMS software version of the ILS.

To log on the user must wait until the user name and password field becomes available for
input and then enter a valid user name and one or more passwords. The user name and
password(s) are not case sensitive.

The ILS will compare the entered username and password(s) with the information stored in the
RMS subsystem in the ILS. If invalid logon information is entered the RMS subsystem in the
ILS will not allow access. A window will be opened informing about what went wrong, and let
the user perform another logon attempt. If three attempts are used without success the ILS will
disconnect and not allow more login attempts for 3 minutes (Remote Port 1 and 2 only).
WINDOWS RMM SOFTWARE

If the Auto-reconnect after communication loss checkbox is checked, the RMM software will
attempt to automatically reconnect and login to the ILS when it comes available after a
communication link drop out or ILS cabinet power loss.

Auto-reconnect is only available on “Direct-connect” connections and when logging in at


access level 1 only.

NORMARC 7000B ILS

Refer to the Access levels chapter for related information.

D.2.3 Access levels

The operations that are permitted to a logged on user depend on the logon access level.

The NORMARC 7000 ILS defines four access levels:

Access Number of
Allowed operations
level passwords
Readout of all measurements and all configuration data, except
Level 1 1
user passwords.
Level 2 2 Level 1 operations + turning transmitters and LF signals on/off.
Level 1 and 2 operations + setting all configuration data, except
Level 3 3
user passwords.
Level 1, 2 and 3 operations + setting/viewing users and
passwords, setting the ILS real time clock. Note that to logon at
access level 2 or higher, more than one password must be
entered. The passwords must be separated with a single space.
The user name and password(s) are not case sensitive. To logon
as MASTER, which is a special built-in administrative user, the
user name “master” and all three master passwords must be
MASTER 3
entered (logon at access levels 1 or 2 with the master user is
therefore not possible). The factory default master passwords
are: MASTER1 MASTER2 MASTER3. To logon at other access
levels a user account must be first be set up by the master user.
If the master user passwords have been lost, the Customer
Service department can help with resetting the master
passwords.

Note
In order to logon at access level 2 or higher, straps on the TCA board must be set to enable
this. Refer to the NORMARC 7000 Instruction Manual for more information about this.

D.2.4 Viewing reports

When logged on to an ILS the user can view reports for the current ILS. The “View report”
window is opened by selecting the menu item File | View report.

There are four types of reports:

• A custom report. The user can select individual measurement groups and settings to
report. The predefined groups and settings have been selected according to the
maintenance procedures. The user can select what groups to include on the report.
The selection made by the user is saved, so the user does not need make the selection
each time a custom report is generated.
• A report for documenting the operational status, all monitor and all maintenance
measurements, and selected configuration data. Note that all configuration data is not
included on the report, the report is therefore not a replacement for the configuration
files.
• A report for showing the operational history. See Operational history for a description
of this.
• A report for listing all events that have occurred in a selected time period. The last 31
days are selected by default when the dialog is opened.

The reports are in HTML format and are automatically opened in the default Web-browser
when the user clicks the OK button. The user can print or save the report from the Web-
browser.

D.2.5 Preferences

User preferences can be selected in the File | Preferences window. These settings are stored
in the user portion of the Windows registry and will be restored each time the program is
started.

D.2.5.1 Unit for DDM values

Selects the unit to use for DDM values. The options are percent DDM and µA. This controls
the unit used for all DDM value output (on the screen and printed report) and DDM value user
input (for example monitor limit adjustment). Note that the unit used for DDM values stored in
the database, in configuration or continuous data log files is always µA.

D.2.5.2 Unit for RF level values

Selects the unit to use for RF level values on the monitor system. This controls the unit used
for all RF value output (on the screen and printed report) and RF value user input (for example
monitor limit adjustment). Note that the unit used for RF values stored in the database, in
configuration and continuous data log files is always dB.

To change the unit for DDM values on the LCD of the cabinet refer to the System options
section.

D.2.5.3 Adjustment mode options

These options can be used to change the way the program displays measurements and
configuration settings. These options should be left un-checked when the program is used for
routine maintenance or monitoring.
WINDOWS RMM SOFTWARE

• High decimal precision: Check this to display values and limits with an extra decimal.
• Factory mode: Check this to display all the defined ILS configuration parameters
independent of the actual ILS system configuration. This option should only be enabled
for configuring new monitor, RMS or LF-generator boards at the factory. It can also be
necessary to enable this option when a board is moved from one equipment to another
(for example from a LOC to a GP).

• Enable alarm limit setting in level 3 from Test DDM/Flight check window: Check
this to display buttons in the Test DDM (NORMARC 7000A) and Flight check
(NORMARC 7000B) windows for changing the CL DDM and NF DDM monitor limits.
This option can be enabled for easy access to monitor limit setting during
commissioning and flight-check. Note that some civil aviation authorities may prohibit
the use of this option.

Note
The user must manually close and re-open measurement and configuration windows for the
options to take effect when any Adjustment mode option has been changed.

D.2.5.4 Language

The language to use in the user interface can be selected in this drop-down list. The list of
available languages is created dynamically when the Preferences window is opened by looking
for resint_*.dll files in the installation folder. The resint_*.dll files contain the translated strings
that is used in the GUI and on the report.

Note
The program must be restarted for a change in the language setting to take effect.

D.2.6 Using modems

The use of modems is required when connecting to an ILS over a public or private telephone
network. The connection can be either a dial-up connection or a leased line connection. In both
cases modems are connected to the PC and to an RS232 port on the connection interface
inside the ILS cabinet. Normally one of the REMOTE1 or REMOTE2 ports is used for this.

When the “Connect method” for a station is set to “Dial up” or “Leased line”, the modem
connected to the PC will be initialized with AT command strings set up for the selected modem.
The user can add new modem configurations and customize the AT command strings for
existing modems.

Procedures for using Westermo and USRobotics modems are described in chapter 7.3 in the
NORMARC 7000 Instruction Manual.

When the user clicks the Edit button in the “Edit station” window the following window will be
opened: WINDOWS RMM SOFTWARE

IMAPPD/Rev.14/10-Feb-17 User's Guide


© Indra Navia AS Page 10
NORMARC 7000B ILS

This window lists the modems for which dial up and leased line initialization strings have been
set up. The list will by default contain settings for a few supported modems. If the modem that
is to be used is not found in the list, the user can add a new modem to the list by clicking the
Add button. The setup for the currently selected modem can be changed by clicking the Edit
button. Selecting Add or Edit will open the window shown below.

In this window the user can type in the init strings for dialup and leased line connections
respectively. The init string is sent to the modem before the actual call is started. These settings
require knowledge about the AT commands that are supported by the specific modem in
question, and should only be altered by a user familiar with modems. The technical manuals
for the modems will normally contain the necessary information on how to initialize the modem.

To delete a modem in the modem list, click the Delete button, and respond to the confirmation
dialog. Note that a modem cannot be deleted if it is selected for use by a station.

D.2.7 Date and time formats

The RMM software uses the regional settings set up in the Windows Control Panel to format
dates shown on the screen and on printed reports. The format used is the “Short Date” format.
This will make the displayed dates match the convention used in the user’s country.

The time format is not retrieved from the regional settings. The 24-hour format HH:MM:SS.S
is used instead. This shows hours, minutes, seconds and tenths of seconds.

In exported data (Continuous data logging) and in default filenames the date and time format
used is according to the international standard (ISO 8601), i.e. YYYY-MM-DD for dates and
HH:MM:SS.S for the time of day. WINDOWS RMM SOFTWARE

D.3.5 Operational history

Selecting ILS-Data | Operational history will bring up the window shown below. This window
displays operational history entries that have been downloaded from the ILS and stored in the
database on the PC. All new entries are downloaded on each login to the ILS. The last 100
entries are stored in the ILS, while the last 2500 events may be viewed in the RMM. The
database file on the PC may contain several thousands of entries for each ILS station.

RMS version 20.5 or later is required to use this feature.

There are 3 types of entries that may be downloaded. These are:

1. “Clear history”. This entry is placed in the history list after a user has selected to clear
all operational history and if the RMS detect that the data stored in the battery backed
RAM is not valid. The last case may be the case after an upgrade to a new RMS version
of the layout the RAM has changed between RMS versions.
2. “Monthly report”. The RMS stores this entry on the first day of each month. Since the
operational time counter (hours) is also stored, this gives the user information about
the usage of the ILS the last month.
3. “Alarm shutdown”. This entry indicated that the ILS has performed a transmitter
shutdown due to an alarm condition detected by the executive monitors.

In addition to the above types, a “<Data loss>” entry will be stored in the database by the RMM
WINDOWS RMM SOFTWARE

software if it detects that there is no overlap of entries stored in the database on the PC and in
the ILS. This informs the user that over 100 entries have been generated in ILS since the last
time the operational history was downloaded.

IMAPPD/Rev.14/10-Feb-17 User's Guide


© Indra Navia AS Page 17
NORMARC 7000B ILS

Each entry has an “Outage” field. This field indicates whether the entry shall count as an outage
in MTBO calculations. Only entries of type “Alarm shutdown” may have this field set to “Yes”.
The user can change this to “No”. Note that if this is done, a comment should also be written
to describe why the shutdown should not count as an outage.

Use the Clear history... button to reset the operational time counter and to clear the operational
history stored in the ILS. This operation requires the user to logged on to an ILS and a login at
the master access level. A confirmation from the user is required before the operation is
executed. If desired, the user can also select to clear the operational history stored in the
database on the PC.

Use the Edit entry... button to change the Outage (on alarm shutdown entries only) and
Comment fields. The Edit entry function is enabled on all access levels, and also while viewing

measurement unit) for the limits is also shown.

The Symmetric limits button is used for enabling/disabling symmetric input mode. In symmetric
input mode the user only enters the high limits, the low limits will be automatically set so that
the limits are symmetric about the nominal value. Symmetric input mode will be enabled by
default if the currently configured limits are symmetric when the window is opened.

The Set limits off button is used for setting all limits to OFF. This fills in the special values -
9999 and 9999 in the low and high limit fields, which is the same as disabling alarm and
warning generation on the parameter. -9999 or 9999 can also be entered by the user to disable
a specific limit.

For parameters where the warning limits are entered as a percentage of the alarm limits and
the alarm limit is set to 9999, it is not meaningful to use a warning limit other than 9999.

The Apply to ... drop down list is used for selecting which monitor to update with the new
values.

If the nominal value has been changed, the new values must be applied to both monitor 1 and
2, or to the standby monitor. The new values cannot be applied to e.g. monitor 1 and not to
monitor 2. This is because monitor 1 and 2 shares the same copy of the nominal values.

Clicking the OK or the Apply button will send the new values to the ILS. The OK button will in
addition close the Monitor limit edit window.

D.4.2.1.2 Monitor calibration

The Monitor calibration window is for calibrating monitor measurements (RMA 1822 only) and
set the nominal values.

The RMA 1822 stores a scale (gain) and offset value for each measurement. The user interface
software applies these values to the values read from or written to the monitors.

The “nominal value” defines the value which the alarm and warning limits and entered relative
to. The RMA 1822 stores a separate nominal value for each monitor and measurement. Each
nominal value can be configured by the user.

The RMA 1215 allows changing nominal values only for CL, DS, NF, CLR, FFM A/B DDM
measurements. In addition, monitor 1 and 2 shares the same nominal value. The remaining
monitor measurements have fixed nominal values.

The scale, offset and nominal values are considered “system parameters”. The values should
therefore not be changed if any module is replaced. The values should always be equal on
monitor 1 and 2.

D.4.2.1.3 Changing calibration data

In order to change calibration data the user must be logged on at access level 3 or as master.
In these access levels the user can click the Calibrate measurement button on the Monitor
limits tab in the Monitor settings window to open an edit window for the currently selected
parameter.

Clicking the OK or the Apply button will send the new values to the ILS. The OK button also
closes the edit window.

Parameter Board Description


Enables or disables a feature of the FC 1927 to reduce data traffic
between the FFM receiver and the LOC cabinet. When disabled,
the FC 1927 requests the FFM to send measurement updates 2
FC reduced times per second. When enabled, the FC 1927 requests the FFM
FC 1927
comm rate to send measurement updates once per second when the
transmitters are on, and once every 5 seconds when off. This
feature can be enabled to save bandwidth when used with e.g.
wireless communication links.
This option makes the FC 1927 swap the measurements received
for channel A and B. The MO 1820 will see FFM channel A on its
FC swap channel B input and vice versa. Disable this on MON1 and enable
FFM FC 1927 on MON2 and set desired limits on channel A and the limits on
channels channel B off to have 2/2 voting between FFM receiver channels A
and B. Disable (or enable) on both monitors to have 1/2 voting
(alarm on one channel results in alarm on both monitors).
Sets the time the FC 1927 will wait for FFM measurements before
it considers the communication link to have failed. When failed, the
FC comm FC 1927 sets all FFM measurements to zero and activates the
FC 1927
timeout COMM FAIL maintenance warning signal (which is shown under
“Monitor 1/2 FFM controller” board in the Maintenance
measurements window).

The Limit(s) column shows the configuration of the warning limits of each parameter. The
format of the displayed limits is depending on the parameter type. For analog measurements
the limits are shown as: LL/UL. Where LL is the lower limit and UL is the high limit. A
maintenance warning is generated when the measurement falls outside this interval.

Digital measurements will normally be shown as the text: “Default”. This means that the limits
are configured with the default limits. If the limits are not at the default setting, the field can

show any of the following texts:

• “Normally low” The limit has been changed from the default, which is that the
measurement is a logical high level, to a logical low level.
• “Normally high” The limit has been changed from the default, which is that the
measurement is a logical low level, to a logical high level.

The RMS verifies that the transmitter control has detected alarm from the monitors after this
delay after an operator turns off the transmitters. The “Monitor verification” delay shall be set
to the total changeover-shutdown time + 1 second (i.e. 2 * GEN delay + 1 s). If the
transmitter control has not detected main and standby alarm after this time, the RMS activates
the Integrity warning signal.

D.4.2.4.2 Edit Delay window

The Edit buttons can be clicked to open a window, as shown below, for editing the selected

The upper half of the window displays the CL, DS and NF monitor measurements relative to
the configured alarm limits. There are “Set limits” buttons for setting the limits equal to the
current monitor measurement.

The lower half of the window has tabs for selecting the transmitter and whether to work with
“Alignment” or “Alarm limit check” functions. See the screen dumps below.

All test signals will be reset if the window is closed or communication between computer and
ILS is lost.

D.4.6.1 Alignment tab

The Alignment tab provides the following functions:

• Buttons for turning off the COU or CLR SBO signals (normally used during Modulation
Level and Modulation Equality flight checks). The text label left of the button will indicate
whether the SBO is on or off. Adjustment fields for modulation balance (DDM) and
modulation sum (SDM). These adjustments will normally be carried out to comply with
WINDOWS RMM SOFTWARE

flight measurement feedback.


• Buttons for inserting a 90° stub into the COU or CLR SBO RF signal paths (Calibration
of this 90° stub is done from the Transmitter settings - Signal adj. tab when the RMM
program is in Factory Mode. The value used is the “COU SBO phase test value 1”.)
The stub is normally used for overall phasing. The SBO phase adjustment to the right
is then used for calibrating the phase for the system. The text labels left of the buttons
indicates whether the 90° stubs are inserted or not.

IMAPPD/Rev.14/10-Feb-17 User's Guide


© Indra Navia AS Page 43
NORMARC 7000B ILS

Note that the angle shown for the stub is -90°. This indicates that the SBO signal is delayed
90° compared to the CSB signal, corresponding to inserting a physical 90° stub on the SBO
output from the cabinet.

• Input fields are provided for setting course-sector/sector-width (COU SBO level) and
CLR SBO level relative to the CSB level is provided. If reported course sector width is
too wide: increase COU SBO level by corresponding value. If reported course sector
width is too narrow: decrease COU SBO level by corresponding value.

D.4.6.2 Alignment tab for Optimized M-array systems

When Optimized M-array is selected on the system options tab in the General settings window,
the Alignment tab provides buttons for inserting two different stubs instead of the common
COU SBO 90° stub. The buttons are labelled “Middle ant. X° stub” and “Lower ant. Y° stub”.

The stubs are calibrated from the Transmitter settings - Signal adj. tab when the RMM program
is in Factory Mode. The values used for the middle and lower antenna stubs are respectively
the “COU SBO phase test value 1” and the “COU SBO phase test value 2” values.

D.4.6.3 4.6.3. Alarm limit check tab

For setting and testing of alarm limits special controls are provided. One or more of the different
test signals can be applied simultaneously. The test signal types are described below.

D.4.6.3.1 CL test signals

Two test signals can be preset/adjusted. One will normally be offset to provide an alignment
alarm on 90 Hz side (GP: low angle) while the other will be offset to alignment alarm 150 Hz
side (GP: high angle). Fine-tuning of the presets can be done by pulling the sliders, clicking on
the arrows at each end of the sliders or clicking the up/down arrow to the side of the value
fields.

The visual indication in the upper half of the Flight check window will indicate the change in CL
and NF DDM readings and will also indicate how close to the alarm limits the signals are (alarm
limit is indicated by a red line in the graphical readout for each parameter).

If the alarm limit shows not to be correct when the alarm point is found, a new alarm limit for
WINDOWS RMM SOFTWARE

the monitors can be set by clicking on the Set limits button between the Mon1 and Mon2
indication for the relevant parameter.

The monitored value for that parameter will then be suggested as a new alarm limit but can of
course be manually overwritten.

The “Set limits” buttons will only be shown if the option “Enable alarm limit setting in level 3
from Flight check window” under the menu option File - Preferences is activated. Note: Activate
CL test signal 1 or 2 in order to enable the Set limits buttons.

D.4.6.3.2 DS test signals

For testing Narrow / Wide alarm limits, two settings can be preset/adjusted. Select either
Narrow or Wide test signals and adjust the SBO level until the correct alarm point is found.

The visual indication in the upper half of the Flight check window will indicate the change in
DS DDM reading and will also indicate how close to the alarm limits the signal is (alarm limit is
indicated by a red line in the graphical readout for each parameter).

If the alarm limit shows not to be correct when the alarm point is found, a new alarm limit for
the monitors can be set by clicking on the Set limits button between the Mon1 and Mon2
indication for the relevant parameter.

The monitored value for that parameter will then be suggested as a new alarm limit, but this
value can be manually overridden.

The “Set limits” button will only be shown if the option “Enable alarm limit setting in level 3 from
Flight check window” under the menu option File | Preferences is activated.

D.4.6.3.3 CLR test signals

For testing of CLR wide alarm a test setting is provided. By activating this, the CLR SBO will
be reduced. Fine-tuning of the setting can be done by clicking the up/down arrows to the side
of the value field.

Changes in the CLR DDM value can be observed in the ILS-Data | Monitor window.

If the alarm limit has to be corrected this can be done via the ILS-Settings | Monitoring window.

D.4.6.3.4 RF power alarm

For testing of the RF power alarm, test settings for both Course and CLR power have been
implemented.

By activating the test, the output level of the selected transmitter will be reduced with the level
selected.

Changes in the RF value can be observed in the ILS-Data | Monitor window.

If the alarm limit has to be corrected this can be done via the ILS-Settings | Monitoring window.

If any of these options are changed the RMS must be restarted (power the cabinet off and on).

The following sections describe each option.

D.4.8.7.1 Hardware configuration

D.4.8.7.1.1 Dual battery installed (NORMARC 7000B only)

Enable this option on racks that have dual battery banks. When enabled the RMM and RMS
software will show the maintenance measurements done on battery 2 and power supply 2:
BATTERY CURR 2, POWER CURR 2, and BATTERY VOLT 2. RMS version 20.5 or later is
required to use this feature.

D.4.8.7.1.2 Near Field Monitor not installed

This option is to be enabled when no NF monitor is installed on the ILS. It will hide all the NF
readings in the Monitor measurements window, hide all readings of Maintenance parameters
from monitor 1 MO and MF boards and remove the options for readout and setting of NF alarm
limits/warning limits/delay from the LCD menu.

Note
In addition to enabling this option the NF monitor alarm/warning limits must manually be set
OFF from the RMM software in factory mode to inhibit generation of NF alarm and warnings.
The maintenance limits for NF Baseband and NF RF level must also be set OFF. Use the
Preferences window to turn on factory mode.

D.4.8.7.1.3 Tilt sensor installed

D.4.8.7.1.6 Single Monitor system

This option is to be enabled in cabinets with one monitor. When enabled the RMS ignores IIC
read errors from monitor 2 and monitor 2 RF frontend and sets these measurements to N/A.
(The warning limits are ignored for any maintenance measurement that is N/A, so there is no
need to set the limits “off”). Monitor disagree warning (LED and event) is suppressed.

D.4.8.7.1.7 Single Transmitter system

This option is to be enabled in cabinets with one transmitter chain. When enabled the RMS will
ignore IIC read errors from TX2: OS, LF, and LPA/GPA COU/CLR, and sets the measurements
to N/A. (The warning limits are ignored for any maintenance measurement that is N/A, so there
is no need to set the limits “off”.)

D.4.8.7.1.8 Remote M-array tests

Enable this option to show the Remote M-array test controls in the Flight Check window. Using
these controls requires custom hardware to be installed.

D.4.8.7.2 User system options

D.4.8.7.2.1 Manual mode turns off ident

When enabled, the RMS will automatically turn off the ident (and voice, if present) when the
system enters “manual” mode. The ident will also be turned off about 1 second after startup if
the system is in manual mode when powered on. Also, the ident warning LED will not be
activated while in manual mode. The ident will also be turned on when the system enters “auto”
mode.

Note
The RMS automatically sets the ident mode back to “Normal” when logging out from access
level 2 or higher. On equipment with LF 1223 boards (used in NORMARC 7000A), the
NMP110B.02 FPGA is required for setting Normal ident if the RMS loses its access as a result
of Grant/Deny switch change or Local/Remote switch change.

D.4.8.7.2.2 Manual mode turns off tx for 20 s (NORMARC 7000B only)

Enable this option to make the RMS automatically turn the transmitters off when Manual mode
is activated. After 20 seconds the RMS will turn the transmitters on again.

D.4.8.7.2.3 Integrity test failure on Param LED (NORMARC 7000B only)

D.5 Historical data

D.5.1 About historical data

D.5.1.1 Historical data storage in the ILS

The ILS RMS subsystem has battery backed Random Access Memory (on the RMA 1215) or
flash (on the RMA 1822) that is used to store historical data. Four different types of historical
data logs is stored:

Medium time periodic storage:


One sample of all monitor and maintenance parameters stored periodically at user
specified intervals (see Sample interval paragraph in the Historical data tab in the
General settings window). The storage contains the last 96 samples.
Long time periodic storage:
For every day through a 180 days period, the mean value and standard deviation of all
monitor and analog maintenance parameters are stored.
Warning storage:
One sample of all monitor and maintenance parameters at the instant when a warning
LED is activated. The 25 last warnings are stored.
Alarm storage:
Samples of all monitor and maintenance parameters for a period starting from 30
seconds before an alarm occurred and ending with the actual alarm sample. The last
seven alarms are stored in the ILS. Two alarms will be stored in the ILS for each alarm
condition that results in a transmitter changeover, which is followed by a shutdown.

In addition, the ILS stores an event list. See Viewing events for more information about the
event list.

Refer to Historical data settings for information on settings in the RMS that is related to

D.5.1.2 Historical data storage in the RMM software

The RMM software allows the user to download the historical data from the ILS. The
downloaded data are saved in a database (Access .MDB-file) on the PC.

The following sections describe how to download historical data and how to view the data once
it has been downloaded.

To delete historical data stored for a station in the database, requires the user to delete the
station from the station list. There is no option to delete historical data only.

D.5.2 Downloading historical data

Selecting the menu item File | Storage download opens the “Storage download” window shown
below. This window is used to select a historical storage and start downloading it from the ILS.

If there is no data in a historical storage it will not be possible to select it for download.

As it can be stored historical data for up seven alarms in the ILS, the user must select which
alarms to download. The time stamps shown in the window are the time of the last data set in
each storage (this time will be the same as the time of the changeover or shutdown of the
transmitters plus a few tenths of a second).

When a warning or alarm storage data is selected for download, a window will be opened in
which the user can select a folder and filename for saving the data to. When medium time or
long time period storage data is selected the data will be stored in the database.

D.5.4 Continuous logging

The RMM program can be used to save the monitor and maintenance measurements that are
currently being received from an ILS directly to a file. This function is referred to as “Continuous
logging”.

The following points describe the major differences between Continuous logging and historical
data stored in the ILS:

• Data is logged real-time, i.e. only as long as the user is logged on to the ILS.
• Monitor and maintenance measurements must be saved to separate files.
• The user has control of the interval between saved data sets (specifying a data set
interval = zero seconds causes all received data to be saved).
• Data that has been saved with Continuous logging cannot be viewed from within the
RMM program. A text editor (for example Windows Notepad) or other third party
software (for example Microsoft Excel) must be used for opening and viewing the
contents of Continuous log files.

A typical utilization of the Continuous logging feature can be to find the cause of problems that
are not logged (or sufficiently logged) in the internal historical storages.

D.6 Fault diagnostics

D.6.1 About fault diagnostics

The RMM software has two algorithms to isolate a failure in the ILS. The algorithms are the
Current data diagnostics and the Alarm diagnostics.

D.6.2 Current data diagnostics

Current data diagnostics is invoked by selecting the menu item ILS-Data | Diagnostics. Based
WINDOWS RMM SOFTWARE

upon the currently displayed data, which can originate from a live ILS connection or from
historical data storage, the program will suggest the faulty module(s), if any.

Refer to chapter 5.4 in the NORMARC 7000B Instruction Manual for a description of the
algorithm used to isolate faults.

IMAPPD/Rev.14/10-Feb-17 User's Guide

NORMARC 7000B ILS

D.6.3 Alarm diagnostics

This diagnostic function is automatically performed when an alarm storage is downloaded from
the ILS. The diagnose result is shown on the screen when historical alarm data is viewed.

Note that the alarm diagnostics algorithm works on alarms that causes a changeover to
standby transmitter. If the changeover is followed by shutdown, this information is used in the
algorithm for diagnosing the changeover alarm. It does not diagnose shutdown alarms as
standalone alarms.

Refer to chapter 5.4 in the NORMARC 7000B Instruction Manual for a detailed description of
the algorithm used to isolate faults.
