1.0 INTRODUCTION
The Portable Maintenance Access Terminal 2000 (PMAT 2000) is a compact, rugged,
multifunction piece of Ground Support Equipment. It is a lightweight computer proven to
operate in a flight-line environment providing the operator with data loading capabilities,
maintenance interface, as well as immediate hosting for technical and maintenance
documentation. The PMAT 2000 runs the Microsoft® Windows XP operating system,
offering the user a simple, familiar, and secure interface.
NOTE: This User’s Guide is for PMAT 2000 P/N 80000-05 configuration only. For
instructions on the operation of previous configuration units (P/N 80000-03 thru 80000-
04), please refer to User’s Guide release P/N 80010 Rev. 4 or earlier or call Teledyne
Controls for support.
The PMAT 2000 has the following controls, displays, and special features (Figure 1):
• 75 key sealed keyboard with cursor directional buttons
• Sealed mouse pointer with two execution buttons
• 14.1” sunlight readable color display (LCD) 1024 X 768 resolution
• Chemically hardened glass display cover resistant to scratches and shatter
• ON/OFF switch
• Power, fault, and temperature lamps.
• Battery Status Control Panel
• Two handles
The PMAT 2000 operates from 115VAC – 250VAC, 50Hz – 400Hz, via the AC power
cable P/N 80044-2 or from internal batteries (Figure 2).

1.3 CERTIFICATION
The PMAT 2000 herewith complies with the requirements of the European Communities
directives and carries the CE mark accordingly.
Note: This above step is necessary to feed power to PMAT in the EE Bay unless
the PMAT is powered from external power or its internal batteries.
Note: Make sure the PMAT 2000 is powered from its internal batteries unless a
cable, P/N 80051 is used with AC power adapter to power the PMAT
2000.
• Shutdown System
• PMAT 2000 Configuration
Note: Other functions that may appear on the main menu include ECU Loader, Jouve
AirGTI and others dependent on the PMAT 2000 configuration purchased or
options included by providers of maintenance data.
To choose one of the functions available from the Main Menu, press the underlined
letter of the item on the keyboard or move the cursor over the button using the mouse-
pointer and click the mouse pointer’s left button. The Main Menu will not be visible
while the Loadstar function is open. It may be accessed only after logging out of
Loadstar.
The PMAT 2000 software allows only one application to be launched at a time. When
one PMAT 2000 function application is launched from the Main Menu, no other function
can be launched until the existing opened function is closed. Example: if MCDP
REMOTE PANEL is open and the user tries to launch PDL615 DATALOADING from the
Main Menu, the MCDP REMOTE PANEL will stay open and not allow PDL615
DATALOADING to open.
The MCDP Program consists of a screen that approximates the actual MCDP with the
addition of four lines of text at the top. The two smaller, upper lines of the screen are
status information, such as the mode of operation. This information is a text
representation of the LED’s illuminated on the actual MCDP panel. Below those lines,
two larger lines display text identical to the two text lines displayed on the front of the
MCDP.
To activate the MCDP Emulator software from the PMAT 2000 Main Menu press the
MCDP REMOTE PANEL button using the mouse pointer or press the letter ‘M’ on the
keyboard. The dialog box “ENTER TAIL NUMBER” will appear (see Figure 5). The
dialog box is for a technician or mechanic to enter the tail number of the aircraft they will
collect the maintenance data files from using the MCDP. All the downloaded fault and
maintenance data files will have the tail number as their name. The file extensions
assigned to each downloaded file will be incremental starting with 000. As new files are
downloaded with the same tail number, sequential file extensions are generated.
Enter the tail number or select a tail number from the scroll list and click OK. The MCDP
panel display will appear (see Figure 6). If the inserted tail number is new, then the user
will be prompted to save the tail number in the Tail Number List. Select YES or NO.
After a tail number is saved it is retained in the pull down list and does not have to be
re-entered. On subsequent file downloading instead of entering a tail number, pull down
the scroll list and select the tail number from the list using the down arrow key on the
keyboard or by scrolling through the entire list using the scroll bar.
Each button on the MCDP panel can be controlled in two ways.
Method 1: Each button has a single letter underlined in its label. Press this key
on the keyboard to activate the button.
Method 2: Using the mouse, move the cursor over the desired button and then
press the left selector button adjacent to the mouse pointer.
When MCDP emulation operations are completed, press the button labeled CLOSE to
terminate the MCDP function on PMAT 2000. Either pressing the letter ‘C’ or using the
mouse pointer can do this.
