grounded, provided the operator is grounded through an acceptable grounding device such as a
wrist strap.
c.
Maintenance or service of the unit must be done at a grounded, ESD workstation.
d.
Before maintenance or service of the equipment, disconnect all power sources, signal sources,
and loads connected to the unit.
e.
If maintenance or service must be performed with power applied, take precautions against
accidental disconnection of equipment components. Specifically, do not remove integrated
circuits or printed circuit boards from equipment while the equipment has power applied.
f.
All ESD sensitive components are shipped in protective tubes or electrically conductive foam.
The components should be stored using the original container/package when not being used or
tested. If the original storage material is not available, use similar or equivalent protective
storage material.
g.
When ESD sensitive components are removed from a unit, the components must be placed on a
conductive surface, or in an electrically conductive container.
h.
When in storage or not being repaired, all printed circuits boards must be kept in electrically
conductive bags, or other electrically conductive containers.
i.
Do not unnecessarily pick up, hold, or directly carry ESD sensitive devices.
Failure to comply with these precautions may cause permanent damage to ESD sensitive devices. This
damage can cause devices to fail immediately, or at a later time without apparent cause.

SECTION I
GENERAL INFORMATION
1.1 INTRODUCTION
This manual provides operational procedures and maintenance information for the
Aeroflex Model 429EBP - ARINC 429 Transmitter/Receiver.
1.2 EQUIPMENT DESCRIPTION
The Aeroflex 429EBP Transmitter/Receiver provides avionics technicians and line maintenance personnel with
an easy method for troubleshooting ARINC 429 avionics systems. The 429EBP has unique label definitions
designed to facilitate the testing of Boeing aircraft avionics. The 429EBP can transmit up to 10 independent
ARINC 429 labels simultaneously and can receive and store up to 4096 words (8192 words without label or rate
information in the DATA ONLY TRAP mode). A special `Trigger Trap' feature allows selective trapping of block
data protocols and alpha-numeric messages. The unit has a non-volatile memory and automatic scrolling to
enable the user to store and review the trapped labels at his or her discretion. The user may also print the
trapped words on a printer through the simplified handshake Centronics parallel printer port. Internal batteries
are provided for portable operation of the 429EBP and the unit is housed in a rugged, compact case. Selection of
the data, transmitted or received, can be in either hexadecimal or engineering formats. A more detailed
description of the units capability can be found in Section 3 of this manual.

SECTION II
INSTALLATION
2.1 GENERAL INFORMATION
This section contains information relating to the unpacking and inspection of the unit. Also included is information
concerning charging of the internal batteries and an explanation of the Unit Self Test routine.
2.2 UNPACKING AND INSPECTING EQUIPMENT
Carefully remove the Aeroflex 429EBP and battery charger from the packing box. Visually inspect the units for
any damage incurred during shipment. Should there be damage, save the packing box to show the shipping
company when submitting your claim. It is generally a good idea to save the packing box should it become
necessary to store or ship the unit.
2.3 EQUIPMENT INSTALLATION
2.3.1 BATTERY CHARGING
The batteries were fully charged when the unit was shipped from the factory. However, if the unit has been
stored for an extended period of time, the batteries may have become discharged. Plug the charger into an
appropriate voltage outlet (U.S. as well as international voltage chargers are available). A 4 to 5 hour charge
should refresh the batteries. The 429EBP may be operated while charging or with the charger disconnected.
With fully charged batteries, the unit will operate for approximately four to six hours.
2.3.2 CONNECTION TO USER EQUIPMENT
Connect the Aeroflex 429EBP output (TX jack) to the input of the UUT and the Aeroflex 429EBP input (RX jack)
to the output of the UUT using standard 1/4 inch stereo phone jacks.
2.4 POST INSTALLATION CHECK
2.4.1 UNIT SELF TEST
The Aeroflex 429EBP performs a self test routine on initial power up. The following tests are performed:
1. The message EBP VERSION *.* is displayed. (*.* = software revision). Red LED's
on the front of the unit will be lit for approximately 0.5 seconds each in the following order: EVEN and
ODD Parity, TX and RX. For the remainder of the self test, unless an error condition exists, the LED's
are extinguished. If one of the LED's fails to light, the unit should still function properly, but the LED
should be replaced at the earliest opportunity. If all LED's fail to illuminate and the display is blank or
display's random data, then a catastrophic unit failure has occurred or the batteries are completely
discharged.
2. The EPROM is checked by summing all the memory locations and comparing the result to the known
checksum. If the checksums do not match, the unit will signal a checksum error by flashing the RX
LED and will attempt to write "CHECKSUM ERROR" to the display. (If the entire EPROM has failed,
however, or if one of the locations in the checksum subroutine is bad, the program will not be able to
execute properly.)

3. The 429EBP has RAM in two independent IC's. The unit tests each RAM section separately for data
retention and address integrity. It begins by writing the lower 8 bits of the location address to the
location. It completely writes all locations of the section. It will then read each location and check its
value. If all is OK, it will repeat this sequence with the exception that it will write the complement of the
lower 8 bits of the location address to the location. It performs this sequence for each RAM section.
If the first IC fails this test, the unit will flash the EVEN parity LED and attempt to write "NSC RAM
ERR" to the display. This indicates that U5 has failed its test. If the second IC fails this test, the unit
will flash the ODD parity LED and will attempt to write "MAIN RAM ERR" to the display. This indicates
that U3 has failed its test. The unit will then loop indefinitely reading from the failed location.
4. The 429EBP has a loop back feature on the digital board to completely test the digital portion of the
transmit and receive circuitry. The unit will turn on the loop back circuitry and transmit a word with a
label of 0 and a data pattern of AA55AA. after a brief pause, the unit will read it's receive buffer and
check the data against the transmitted data. If the data is not what is expected, the unit will flash the
TX LED and attempt to write "LOOP BACK FAILED" to the display. No further operations will be
possible until the cause of the failure is corrected.
The Loop test and Ram tests are not performed if the unit Trap mode is active.
If all tests have been successfully completed, the unit will display "SELF TEST OK" for approximately 2 seconds
and will then enter the operational receive mode and display the number of different labels currently being
received (or number of words in the trap buffer if TRAP mode is active).
SECTION III
OPERATION
3.1 GENERAL OPERATION DESCRIPTION
The Aeroflex 429EBP is a single channel ARINC 429 transmitter and receiver. It can receive and display all
ARINC 429 labels. It can simultaneously output up to ten 429 words. Data can be displayed and entered in
hexadecimal or engineering formats.
3.1.1 HEX MODE
The HEX mode has two types of data entry and display. The first type allows display and entry of bits 32 - 9 in
hexadecimal format, reading left to right as 32 - 9. The label will be displayed in octal. The SDI (bits 10 - 9) is
then displayed in binary. Bits 32 - 9 of the word are then displayed in HEX. On the far right of the display will be
the SSM bits (31 - 30) of the word. The second type in HEX mode allows display and entry of bits 31 - 9 in binary
format. The SDI bits (10 - 9) and SSM bits (31 - 30) each have their own screen. The remaining bits (29 - 11)
each have their own individual screen. Word rate for the word is also available on a dedicated screen in the HEX
mode.
3.1.2 ENG MODE
ENG (Engineering) mode allows data entry and display in engineering unit formats (Feet, Knots, MHZ, etc.). The
label definition will determine the number of screens required for display of the possible fields of the word. Label
definition may be changed by entering a new ÈQID' (Equipment Identifier). If the new ID is valid (per ARINC
429-11 attachment 2 or is included in Appendix A of this manual (Special Boeing Labels)) for the currently
selected label then the label will be decoded and displayed according to that definition. If the ID is invalid for the
label, a default definition will be used. The last ID entered will remain active until changed or until the unit is
turned off (unless in Trap or Protect mode).
NOTE: BITE Status Word (Label 356) has been assigned the same ID (7E) as the BITE Command Word (Label
227) and will be displayed in engineering format. However, due to the many variations of data types for the word,
it must be entered in HEX format.
3.1.3 TRANSMIT & RECEIVE MODES
There are two distinct modes of system operation. The RX mode is the receiver mode of operation. The TX mode
is the transmit mode of operation. Selection of these modes and all other display operations are accomplished by
keypad or slide switch entry. The transmitter and receiver can operate at either 100kbps (High Speed) or 12.5
kbps (Low Speed). Each mode's speed can be set independently of the other. The parity of the words being
transmitted can be set for either ODD or EVEN parity. An LED indicator will show the parity selected for
transmitted words if in the TX mode or the parity of the currently displayed word if in the RX mode. These modes
are described in the following sections.
3.1.3.1 TX MODE
The transmitter is capable of outputting up to ten 32 bit words in ARINC 429 or 419 bipolar RZ (Return-to-Zero)
format.

3.1.3.1.1 TRANSMISSION RATES
The word rate for each of the ten TX Slots can be set independently. The repetitive word rate can be as low as 4
msec or as long as 59998 msec. On label entry the word rate defaults to the minimum word rate defined in the
ARINC 429-11 specs. The 429EBP also has the capability of transmitting words only on user command (SINGLE
SHOT). Each slot can be programmed independently for this mode by programming the word rate for that slot to
1ms (SNGL SHOT). The user then presses the SINGLE SHOT key on the front panel whenever he (she) wants
to transmit all words programmed for single shot. Each subsequent press of this key will retransmit all words
programmed for single shot mode. This mode will not interfere with any words that have been programmed for
repetitive transmission. The transmitter automatically insures at least a 4 bit time (Low Speed) separation
between adjacent words.
NOTE: The ten TX slots are priority weighted. Slot ten has the most priority and slot one has the least. The
advantage of this method is that it allows synchronized bursts of words. The disadvantage is that words
programmed into lower numbered slots than a slot with a 4ms word rate (fastest rate possible) will not be
transmitted. e.g. If slot ten is programmed to a 4ms word rate then the words in slots one through nine will not be
transmitted.
3.1.3.1.2 PROTECTED MODE
The transmitter section may be placed into a `PROTECTED' mode of operation. This mode protects the user
entered parameters from changing when the unit is powered off. When power is restored to the unit it will resume
operation where it was at when the unit was powered off. If 'Protect' mode is off then the unit will clear the
transmitter section on power up. The unit will stay in the selected mode until changed by the user, even if the unit
power is cycled.
3.1.3.1.3 DATA SLEWING
The data for most labels with engineering definitions can be `SLEWED'. This means that the data will
dynamically change value according to user defined parameters. There will be 4 slew screens in the data mode
for any label with slew capability. The first screen is a `SLEW' screen that defines the amount of change in data.
When this parameter is set to `0' (default) then no slewing will occur. The second screen is the `MAX' screen
which defines the upper limit that the data is allowed to slew to. The third screen is the `MIN' screen which
defines the lower limit that the data is allowed to slew to. Either parameter may be positive or negative
(dependent on ARINC definition for the label) but the `MAX' parameter MUST be larger then the `MIN' parameter.
Note that only bits 28 - 17 of the limits will be used in the limit check. All other bits are ignored and will be
truncated upon user entry of new limit values.
The fourth screen turns the ÀLT' (Alternate) mode on and off. If this mode is on, the data will slew to the limit in
the direction it is going. When the limit is reached, the data will be set to that limit and then slew to the opposite
limit. When this limit is reached, the data will again reverse itself. If ÀLT' is off, the data will slew in the direction
entered in the `SLEW' parameter (positive or negative) to the limit and then reset to the value defined for the
opposite limit (data wraps around). NOTE: Any ARINC BCD type words will only slew by 1 in the negative
direction regardless of the SLEW value setting.
3.1.3.2 RX MODE
The receiver has the capability of receiving and storing up to 4096 (8192 in `DATA ONLY' mode) high or low
speed 32 bit words in ARINC 429 or 419 RZ format. There are three mutually exclusive receiver modes of
operation. Each mode has a screen that shows the count of words received, the label and description, or the
data field currently selected.

3.1.3.2.1 NORMAL MODE
Normal mode (default) is a dynamic mode that displays all unique labels received (255 possibilities, 000 label is
invalid). In this mode the screen is updated 4 times per second with the latest data received.
3.1.3.2.2 FILTER MODE
FILTER mode is identical to normal mode with the exception that words received will be displayed according to
label and SDI. This allows up to 1020 combinations (000 Label is invalid).
3.1.3.2.3 TRAP MODE
The third and most powerful mode is the `TRAP' mode. This is a static mode of operation which captures and
stores the data for detailed analysis. Words are received and stored in the trap buffer in their order of
occurrence. They will remain in the buffer until the trap mode is turned off, even if the unit power is turned off. In
normal trap mode up to 4096 unique words may be stored. In this mode the time that has elapsed since the
previous word is stored as the rate. In `DATA ONLY' trap mode up to 8192 words (must be the same label) are
stored. The rate is invalid in this mode of operation. Normally the trap will fill to capacity with received words and
stop. All subsequent words received will be discarded. A secondary mode of operation is possible where all
words pass through the trap until the trigger parameter is met (or the CONT TRAP key is pressed). This mode is
called CONTinuous Trap. This allows viewing the bus activity prior to the trigger. If the trap 'rolls over' (receives
more than the trap capacity allows) prior to the trigger being met, the last 4096 words (or 8192 in Data Only
mode) will be captured. The 429EBP will then adjust so that the first word scrolled UP to from the count screen
will be the oldest word and the first word scrolled DOWN to will be the newest word regardless of their position in
the buffer.
3.1.3.2.3.1 TRAP TRIGGER & FILTERS
The trap has user definable trigger and filter parameters. Triggering specs may be set in 1 of 4 combinations:
Don't Care Label/Don't Care Data (No Trigger), Specific Label/Don't Care Data, Don't Care Label/Specific Data
Pattern, Specific Label/ Specific Data Pattern. Filtering specs may be set to filter the data in 1 of 4 combinations:
All Labels/All Data, Specific Label/ All Data, All Labels/ Specific Data Pattern, and Specific Label/Specific Data
pattern. The data pattern for each spec can be from 1 to 24 bits. If a data pattern is entered for either spec the
user will be prompted for a `CARES' mask. If a bit is set in this mask, the corresponding bit in the received data
will be checked against the same bit in the desired data pattern. The user may simply press the enter key if the
prompted parameter is a don't care to the user. Data and care patterns must be entered in hexadecimal (up to 6
chars) if used. As an example, if a DATA pattern of 000001 and a CARES pattern of 000003 (default) is used
then only the SDI bits (10 - 9) will be checked for an SDI of 01. The status of a bit in the DATA pattern is
irrelevant if the corresponding bit in the CARES pattern is not set.
3.1.3.2.3.2 PRINT MODE
The data stored in the trap buffer may be printed out on an IBM compatible parallel printer through the 25 pin
female DSUB connector on the side of the 429EBP. There are two print drivers available in the 429EBP. The
default driver makes the 429EBP compatible with a Seiko DPU-201G thermal 27 column printer. The second
driver makes the unit compatible with an IBM compatible 80 column printer. The 429EBP will print data from the
current slot displayed to the end of the buffer (or valid data). A print sequence may be aborted early by turning
the unit off. Since data is retained in non-volatile memory, no data will be lost.
3.1.4 IDLE MODE
To minimize battery drain, the 429EBP has the capability to sense when there has been no activity (keypad, TX,
or RX) for at least 5 minutes. When this happens, the 429EBP will shut down some of it's circuitry and go to
`Sleep'. In this state, the 429EBP is fully functional, but it is in a low current drain wait state. The LCD screen will
be blank, but either the TX or RX LED will be lit. Any keypad or RX activity will reawaken the 429EBP to it's
normal operation mode.

3.2 CONTROL FUNCTIONS
3.2.1 429EBP CONTROLS AND INDICATORS
(1)
TRAP Mode Key

Allows operator to select either LABEL mode

or DATA mode of display. LABEL mode displays octal
number and engineering definition of labels being
transmitted or received. DATA mode allows viewing of
data of the currently selected label being transmitted or
received.

(15)
EDIT/DEL Key
Allows operator access to the data entry

mode. If in the data entry mode, the DEL keys allows
correction of errors during data entry.
NOTE: While in TRAP mode the current slot
displayed may be edited using normal editing
procedures as an alternative to using the scroll keys.
(16)

(17)
ENT Key
IN EDIT Mode:
Completes an entry sequence. Until the ENT key is
pressed, an entry may be edited with the DEL key. If an
entry is not allowed for some reason (out of range, illegal
key), the old data will be retained.
TX MODE (Non-Edit):
Resets the TX timer counters of each active slot to their
initial value. This allows the TX labels to be
synchronized in their output order if all have the same
word rate. They will be sent out in descending TX block
order (10 through 1), e.g.: The user wants to simulate a
DME LRU that transmits 6 labels in bursts 100 msec.
apart. The user would enter the first label in the group in
the TX slot 10 with a word rate of 100. The second label
would go in the TX slot 9 with a word rate of 100. This
would continue for the remaining labels with the last
label of the group being entered in TX slot 5.
Once all the data has been entered correctly and the
user is ready to synchronize the labels, he(she) should
press the ENT key.
There will be no visible indication that anything has
occurred, but the words have been synchronized and
are being transmitted in bursts of 6, 100 msec apart. If
any data is changed later, the ENT key should be
pressed again to resynchronize the words.

If in trap mode and there are valid words trapped,
pressing this key will initiate a printer dump sequence
starting at the currently displayed slot. If a printer is not
connected to the 429EBP or is off- line the 429EBP will
indicate this for 2 seconds and abort the print sequence.
NOTE: The LED's will act Èrratically' and the keypad
will be disabled during the print dump. This is normal
and should be ignored. The 429EBP will continue to
print until there are no remaining words or until the end
of the buffer is reached.
To abort a print sequence just turn the unit off since the
data will still be valid on restoration of power.

3.3 OPERATING EXAMPLE

The following section is a series of instructions designed to guide the user through some of the features of the
429EBP.
NOTE: For these instructions we will use four ARINC labels throughout for the sake of consistency. The
user is free to configure additional labels if desired. These labels are as follows:
033 ILS FREQUENCY
034 VOR FREQUENCY
035 DME FREQUENCY
102 SEL ALTITUDE
The 429EBP hand held, transmitter/receiver features are designed to allow the user greater flexibility when
working with ARINC 429 data buses. These features are outlined below.
1. Expanded screen displays of data and information.
2. User definable Equipment ID codes.
3. Labels defined to ARINC 429-11 Air Transport specifications.
4. Data slewing or ramping capabilities.

5. Positive or negative slewing.
6. Non-volatile memory that stores previously entered information when protection feature is turned on.
7. Additional, expanded selective trap capabilities.
8. Dynamic display of slewed and ramped data.
9. Individual display and control of bits 11 to 29.
10. Separate screens for SDI and SSM.
11. Non-volatile memory for RX and TRAP mode.
3.3.1 TRANSMITTER FUNCTIONS
3.3.1.1 Entering Transmit Labels and Protecting Data
1. Turn on the 429EBP (unit will self test and go to the receive mode). To clear the transmitter if it
contains labels, depress the trap key displaying NOT PROTECTED and turn unit off for 5 seconds then
back on.
2. Depress the TRAP key for PROTECTED or NOT PROTECTED data mode. When data is NOT
PROTECTED it will not be retained in the 429EBP memory when it is turned off. Set unit to
PROTECTED.
3. Depress scroll up arrow to access transmitter #1 which will display TX 1 INACTIVE.
NOTE: Arrow keys are scroll up/down keys.
4. Depress the EDIT/DEL key and LABEL ? will appear. Enter the first label: LABEL ?. Enter 033 and
depress ENT key. Unit now displays 033 ILS FREQ and you can view the default data for this label by
depressing the LAB/DAT key. To scroll through the data use the UP/DOWN arrows. This step is the
same for all future labels to be entered. To correct an incorrect label, simply edit over it and enter correct
label. To clear a transmitter and show the TX INACTIVE, edit and enter 0.
5. Depress the LAB/DAT key and return to label 033. Use the scroll up key to access TX 2 INACTIVE.
Depress EDIT/DEL and enter label 034 VOR FREQ. Repeat this procedure and enter LABEL 035.
6. Scroll to TX 4 and enter Label 102 SEL ALTITUDE. The following sequence is to slew and ramp the
data within a selected non-RF label. For demonstration purposes we will limit this to label 102.
NOTE: For all data entry that follows it will be necessary for the user to follow the previous sequence of
depressing the appropriate keys such as EDIT/DEL and ENT as well as the scroll keys to access all of
the data displays for editing.
A) Depress LAB/DAT key. Depress the up arrow key as required until SLEW appears.
B) SLEW defines the value that our data will change by. Enter 100 ft. (EDIT - 100 - ENT).
C) Scroll to MAX=65520. This is the default limit in the ARINC specification truncated to 12 bits. Enter
10000 ft.
D) Scroll to MIN=00000 and enter 9000 ft. The display will now announce 08992 instead of 9000. This
is due to the program using only the first 12 bits of significant data (bits 28 to 17). Other bits are
truncated and this results in a resolution of 8 ft for limit checking for this label.
E) Scroll to SLEW ALT OFF. To turn this feature on simply depress EDIT and enter 1. (1 turns ALT ON
and 0 turns ALT OFF). When SLEW ALTERNATING is on, slewing will continuously occur bi-directional
reversing itself when upper and lower limits are reached. When this feature is off, slewing will occur in
only one direction, up/down, positive/negative.

F) Scroll to the next screen and there will be a dynamic display of the slewing from 9000 ft to 10000 ft up
and down in increments of 100 feet.
G) Scroll to the rate screen and RATE = 100 MS. Enter 500 MS to slow the updating speed down for
additional visibility.
H) Scroll to the SDI screen which will display 00. Edit as required.
I) Scroll to the SSM screen which will display 11 / NORM which is the ARINC default norm for this label.
Enter 00 and watch the display change to 00 / FAIL. Re-enter 11 and SSM returns to normal.
J) Scroll once more to return to SLEW then depress LAB/DAT key to return to the label.
K) Depress TX/RX key to go to the receiver mode.
NOTE: When entering data, it is possible to view and turn on or off individual bits 11 to 29. To access
this feature depress the LAB/DAT key to go to the data mode and move the display switch from Eng to
Hex then scroll till the desired bit is reached. Edit each bit individually with 0 for off and 1 for on.
3.3.2 RECEIVER FUNCTIONS
3.3.2.1 Using the Receiver Functions
1. To use the receiver port it is necessary to loop the unit to itself by connecting the transmitter port to
the receiver port. In this manner you will see displayed the four labels entered previously on the
transmitter side.
NOTE: If there are any labels trapped in the memory of the 429EBP they will enunciate on the screen.
To clear the memory depress the TRAP key; or the F/FILT key if XX FILTERED WORDS appears.
2. Once this is accomplished the receiver will display 4 RX LABELS.
3. To view the labels, simply depress the scroll/arrow key in the direction you wish to scroll. You will see
displayed the four labels entered; 033, 034, 035, and 102.
4. To view data, depress the LAB/DAT key. For this exercise we will view label 102.
5. Label 102 will display data that is being slewed at the rate of 100ft every 500 MS as was previously
programmed.
6. Scrolling through the data will sequentially display RATE, SDI and SSM.
7. By switching the unit from the ENG mode to the HEX mode it is possible to scroll through the data
mode and individually view bits 11 through 29. These bits can also be viewed and edited individually on
the transmitter side.

3.3.3 USING THE RECEIVER TRAP FUNCTIONS
3.3.3.1 General Trap Mode

1. To trap the first 4096 labels received , depress the TRAP key. Unit will display TRAP LABEL, depress
ENT, unit will display DATA ?, depress ENT, unit will display TRIG LABEL, depress ENT, unit will
display DATA ?, depress ENT and unit will begin trapping. It is necessary to depress ENT for the unit to
default to the general trap mode. No data needs to be entered.
2. To view the trapped labels, depress the appropriate scroll key. To auto-scroll, depress the C/AUTO
key and display will automatically display one label approximately every second. You can reverse the
scroll direction by using the opposite scroll key. The display will show the number of the trapped word.
To stop auto-scroll, depress the C/AUTO key again.
3. By holding down either of the scroll keys, it is possible to speed up the sequence to reach a specific
label more quickly or, as an alternative, the current slot displayed may be edited using the standard
editing procedures.
4. To clear the trap memory, depress the TRAP key and the unit will return to receiving 4 labels only.
3.3.3.2 Data Trap Mode
1. Depress the TRAP key Then the D/D.O. key and watch the display which will flash DATA ONLY. The
unit will now trap one word 8192 times. Enter TRAP LABEL 102 and depress the ENT key until unit
starts to trap. The unit is trapping label 102, 8192 times and the label is transmitted at the rate of 500
MS. It is possible to start viewing individual labels while the unit is still trapping by scrolling to the first few
labels trapped. This does not interfere with the unit which will continue to trap incoming labels.
2. Once the unit is finished trapping it is possible to scroll through each label trapped and view them
individually. By depressing the LAB/DAT key and then the C/AUTO key you can view label 102 which
was trapped as it slewed from 9000 ft to 10000 ft. It is also possible to view all data on each individual
label trapped including bits 11 to 29, SDI, SSM, etc.
3. To clear the trap memory depress TRAP.
NOTE: When trapping using the DATA ONLY mode, it is necessary to enter a label as this mode traps
off of the label it is searching for.
3.3.3.3 Trapping Using the Data Mode
1. To trap when only data is known, depress the TRAP key. Depress the ENT key until DATA ? is
displayed.
2. Enter the data you wish trapped. (For our purposes, we will use 627100 which represents 10000 ft in
label 102 which we are transmitting and simultaneously slewing from 9000 ft to 10000ft.)
3. The next screen will ask CARES ?. It is now necessary to enter 7FFFFF which is to mask parity off to
allow the unit to search for specific data. Depress ENT (it is necessary to depress ENT three times) until
the unit begins to trap.

Cares is a 24 bit hex mask to determine if a bit in the data word will be checked for status. This function is
particularly useful for trapping block data protocols. For example the Williamsburg Protocol, Bite Memory
Transfer and Alpha-numeric messages. It is also useful for monitoring a bus for a specific flag such as an autopilot armed flag, where a specific bit in a specific word arms an auto-pilot and it is necessary to determine when
this event occurs.
In the example we have used, we are searching for a specific data field and the cares function is masked by the
entry of 7FFFFF. Some useful cares patterns follow:
7FFFFF = Masks parity off and allows for checking all bits in the data field.
OOOOO3 = Default bit which means only the SDI bits 9 & 10 will be checked.
600003 = SSM and SDI bits only checked, (bits 31 & 32 and 9 & 10)
Other bit parameters may be set as desired.
When viewing the 429EBP screen the display in the hex mode shows the following information:
XXX
XX
LABEL SDI
XXXXXX
DATA
XX
SSM
The SSM is in binary, the DATA in hex, the SDI in binary and the LABEL in octal.
4. The unit will now look for only this data and trap those words it receives with this data. It may take a
few moments for the first word to be received. As soon as the first word is received it is possible to view
the word by scrolling to it and viewing the data. The word should be 102 at an altitude of 10000 ft. By
selecting HEX on the switch, you can view the data which is 627100.
5. To turn off the trap mode depress the TRAP key.
3.3.3.4 Trapping Using the Trigger Trap Mode
1. To trap a string of data triggering from either a label and/or from data the trigger must be armed.
Depress the TRAP key depress ENT twice, then enter the data in label 102 for 10000ft which is 627100
and for CARES turn off the parity mask using 7FFFFF.
2. When the information is entered the screen will display TRIGGER IS ARMED and the unit will wait till it
receives this data. As soon as the data is received, the unit will go into the normal trap mode and it will
trap the first label immediately following the data that was in the trigger. This should be label 035 which
has the fastest time out at a rate of 100 MS.
3. This can then be viewed in the normal manner by scrolling through the labels. The first label trapped
will be 035 DME FREQ as it is transmitted at the fastest rate which is 100 MS and it is followed by 034
and 033. Label 102 will only be caught in the string very sparingly as its rate was set earlier at 500 MS.
4. When trapping using the data only mode, note that it is necessary to enter the label first as this mode
traps only the label it is looking for. To trap label 102 starting when it reaches 10,000ft depress TRAP
then the D key. Enter label 102, scroll TRIGGER DATA and enter 627100 then mask parity in cares with
7FFFFF. The first label 102 trapped by the unit will be 102 at 10,000 ft (data 627100).

3.4. FILTER MODE
1. Depress the F/FILT key. The 429EBP will now display all received words by their Label/SDI values
instead of by label only.
2. To clear the filter mode depress the F/FILT key.
3.5 CHANGING EQUIPMENT ID CODES
The 429EBP has the capability to change equipment ID codes to any Air Transport Equipment Identifier
Specification codes defined in ARINC 429-11, attachment 2 or Appendix A of this manual (Boeing Special
Labels). To change these codes, the following procedure is used.
1. When the unit is in the TX mode scroll to label 035 that was entered previously and it will display 035
DME FREQ.
2. Depress the E key and the unit will display EQPMT ID = 000.
3. Depress the EDIT/DEL key and unit will display EQPMT ID ?. Enter 6 and depress the ENT key (006
is the ID code found in the ARINC specification that identifies labels used for Air Data Systems.)
4. The 429EBP will now display 035 BARO (IN) which is inches of mercury used for air data testing.
Note that label 034 has also been changed and it now displays 034 BARO (MB).
5. To return to the original ID simply use the same steps to enter 000 which is the original ID to which the
unit will default. The display will again show 035 DME FREQ.
The 429EBP changes the definition of all labels that are defined in the ARINC 429 Air Transport specification with
the same ID. In the above example, the definitions identified with an ID of 006 would be desirable when working
with Air Data Systems. It is also possible to change the ID codes while in the receiver mode by following the
same sequence.
NOTE: If the Equipment ID is changed while in TX mode for a specific label the label should be
reentered following entry of the new equipment ID. This insures that the proper parameters are being
used as default in subsequent operations.
SECTION IV
THEORY OF OPERATION
4.1 GENERAL CIRCUIT THEORY
The Aeroflex Model 429EBP, P/N 01-1001-10, ARINC 429 single channel transmitter and receiver consists of
three board level sub assemblies and a battery pack. The three boards are :
1) Display Board (P/N 20-6782-10)
2) Digital Board (P/N 20-6784-40)
3) Analog Board (P/N 20-6783-00)
4.1.1 DISPLAY BOARD
The Display board performs the human interface function for the 429EBP. It has three major sections of circuitry:
1) Display circuits
2) Keypad circuits
3) Slide Switch circuits
The Display circuits output data in visual form. The display circuit consists of the liquid crystal display (DS1). The
Keypad switches allow data to be input to the unit. The keypad circuits consist of 23 momentary contact switches
(S1 - S23). The switches are arranged in an X/Y matrix and are decoded by the firmware on the digital board.
The slide switches allow various I/O information (Parity, TX Baud, etc.) to be changed and to turn the unit on and
off. The slide switch circuits consist of 5 SPST slide switches (S24 - S28) and various discrete components
(resistors, transistors and capacitors).
4.1.2 DIGITAL BOARD
The Digital board contains the digital circuitry for the 429EBP. This circuitry has three major sections:
1) Control circuits
2) 429 Receive Buffer
3) 429 Generator
The Control circuits are the `Heart' of the system that controls and monitors all other circuits in the system. The
control circuits consist of the following components
1) Microcontroller (U1)
2) Firmware EPROM (U2)
3) RAM (U3)
4) Address Latch (U4)
5) RAM IO (U5)
The control circuits monitor the number of `bits' received and upon completion, will read the receive buffer.
The 429 Receive buffer stores the 429 bit stream data (Converted to TTL levels by the Analog board). The
following components make up the 429 receive buffer.
1) Bit Latch (1/2 U8)
2) Serial Register (1/2 U6)
3) Mux (U14)

The 429 Generator circuits send TTL level bit stream data to the Analog board, where it is converted to the
correct levels for output. The Generator is loaded and started by the Control circuits. The Generator consists of
the following components:
1) Digital drivers (U9)
2) Serial Register (1/2 U6)
3) Baud Clock/Bit Counter (U5)
4) Driver Enable (1/2 U8)
4.1.3 ANALOG BOARD
The Analog board contains the analog circuitry for the 429EBP. This circuitry has three major sections:
1) Power Circuits
2) 429 Receiver
3) 429 Driver
The Power circuits supply power to the system from one of two sources. If the battery charger is disconnected,
the circuits supply power to the system from the battery pack. The battery voltage is monitored by the power
circuits. Should the voltage drop to an insufficient level it is the power circuits that will indicate this to the Control
circuits. An indication of low power will be seen on the display board should the afore mentioned conditions exist.
If the charger is connected, the power circuits will supply power to the system from the charger and will also
trickle charge the NiCad batteries. The power circuits consist of the following components:
1) Low Drop Out Regulator (U5)
2) Voltage converter (U6)
3) Monitor (U7)
The 429 Receiver circuits convert ARINC 429 RZ transmitted signals from 10V levels (between A & B) to TTL
level signals for use by the 429 Receiver Buffer on the Digital board. The 429 receiver circuits consist of a
Comparator and a number of discrete components. The 429 driver circuits convert the TTL level signal from the
digital board into 10V (between A and B) ARINC 429 compatible signal levels.
The 429 Driver circuits consist of the following components:
1) "1" Driver (U2, Q1, Q2)
2) "0" Driver (U3, Q3, Q4)
3) Speed Switch (U1)
The battery Pack supplies power to the system and consists of the following components:
1) Battery Holder
2) Six (6) ÀA' NiCad rechargeable batteries.
