1. Planning Information
A. Effectivity
The modification procedure described in this service bulletin applies to the equipment
listed below.
NOTE: The modification contained in this service bulletin is applicable to all future status(es)
of the equipment Type Number.
B. Concurrent Requirements
None required.
C. Reason
(1) Condition Modification Affects
The 933003-309 IRDM currently lacks the ability to activate the regional service
provider’s access card (Dish India).
D. Description
Installing the updated firmware into the IRDM, 933003-309, will enable the unit to receive
“permission” by the service provider, Dish India, to be activated. The firmware currently
installed does not allow the access card to be activated inside the IRDM. Currently, the
activation of the card must occur outside of the IRDM utilizing a set-top-box. The firmware
upgrade allows the IRDM to perform the initial activation as its design intends and removes
the necessity of activating the card prior to installing.
E. Compliance
Optional.
F. Approval
The IRDM, part number 933003-309, is FAA PMA approved for installation in Airbus Model
A320-232 aircraft. It is the responsibility of the Type Certificate (TC) or Supplemental Type
Certificate (STC) holder to submit subsequent design modifications to the FAA unless
there is a licensing agreement authorizing Rockwell Collins to submit such changes.
G. Labor
Not affected.
Not affected.
All orders should specify the document part number and reference IRDM Service Bulletin 2.
K. References
The next revision to the referenced component maintenance manual (repair manual) will
include the information contained in this service bulletin.
