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 facemask or bag/valve/mask assembly.

Commercial - in - Confidence

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.

NORMARC 7013B-7014B Instruction Manual


23136/Rev.1.9/02-Jul-07

Commercial - in - Confidence

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 both mains AC/DC power supplies/Chargers and iso-
late the standby batteries if connected.

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

SHIPPING PRECAUTIONS

Do not ship the rack or subrack assemblies (i.e. transmitter sections) with heavy mod-
ules inserted. All encapsulated modules must be pulled out and packed separately before
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.

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 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

The ILS cabinets can be configured for Cat I, Cat II, or Cat III requirements with no basic
changes.

Eight models are available:

NORMARC 7011B Single frequency LLZ

NORMARC 7012B Single frequency LLZ with hot standby monitoring (Cat III)

NORMARC 7013B Two frequency LLZ

NORMARC 7014B Two frequency LLZ with hot standby monitoring (Cat III)

NORMARC 7032B Single frequency GP with hot standby monitoring (Cat III)

NORMARC 7033B Two frequency GP

NORMARC 7034B Two frequency GP with hot standby monitoring (Cat III)

The system is based on modern technology with extensive Remote Monitoring and Mainte-
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.

1.7.2 Physical Description

The cabinet contains two sections:


• The electronics card cage
• The transmitter / PA section including change-over 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 change-over relays and RF outputs mounted on 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 detected by
the input stage, and then digitized. In the next block they are filtered by a Fast Fourier Trans-
form performed by a signal processor. 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 and a very simple Fast Fourier filtering with a signal processor. In addi-
tion, the monitor is checked by automatic self-tests.

The alarm limits are stored locally in EEPROM, 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 a synthesizer 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 NORMARC 7013B-7014B

Page 1-10 ©2007 Park Air Systems AS
Commercial - in - Confidence

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-
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 change-over, 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 small display and keyboard 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 1-4 illustrates the RMM/RMS systems.

The centre of the RMS is a CPU with the RMS core program. The RMS collects measure-
ments and diagnostic data, and makes them available to the user. The collected information
allows easy and cost effective maintenance, fault finding and routine reporting. 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, typically used to connect a local PC, a PC in the air-
port technical equipment room, and a modem for connection to a central maintenance facility.

The local keyboard/display allow readings and control through an LCD display and a seven-
button 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 username 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, the Customer Service department can help with
resetting the master passwords.

Note that to logon at access level 2 or higher, straps on the TCA board must be set to enable
this. Refer to 9.3.3 for more information about this.

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 change-over 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.

Each block is described separately in section 8.

2.2 Monitors

The monitor section's main task is to generate alarms if a transmitter fails. The alarm signals
are interpreted by the station control section which decides whether to change transmitter or
to shut the ILS signals down. Warning information is treated by the RMS.

The input signals to the monitor are RF signals, CL, DS, NF, CLR(2 freq. only), from the
antenna system. In addition the DC loop detects failures in the antenna and an optional exter-
nal frontend may monitor alarm generating parameters from additional equipment (i.e. a far
field monitor). The outputs are alarm status to the transmitter control section, parameter val-
ues to the RMS and DC loop reference voltages to the antenna system.

The monitor chain consists of the Monitor Frontend module, MF 1211A in LLZ and MF 1219A
in GP, and the Monitor module MO 1212A. This chain is duplicated to increase reliability. In
hot standby configurations an additional chain monitors the standby transmitter. See the Fig-
ure 2-2 below.

The Monitor Frontend module is mainly an AM receiver which detects the baseband signals
and generates DC voltages proportional to the RF level. In addition a digital pulse train is gen-
erated, to tell the difference in frequency (DF) between the COU and CLR transmitters in two
frequency configurations.

The Monitor module digitizes the analog signals, filters all data by FFT and mean value calcu-
lations, and passes the parameters to the comparator. The comparator generates alarm sig-
nals if the parameters are outside the pre-programmed limits.

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 1221,
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 LLZ 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 LLZ 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 Glidepath 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 I, Q 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 has relays to connect the CSB and SBO outputs from one transmit-
ter to the antenna while the other is connected to dummy loads. The relays are controlled by a
Coax-control signal.

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.

The transmitter control assembly, TCA 1218A/B consists of the transmitter control (TC) mod-
ule TC 1216A and the local control (LC) front panel LC 1217A/B (the B-version is a front panel
designed for hot standby configuration). See Figure 2-5.

The main functions of the TCA 1218A/B 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.

2.5 Remote Control

The remote control’s main purpose is to provide an interface to the ILS from the technical
equipment room and the tower at the airport.

The remote control provides the ILS with user inputs and selections. The unit also displays the
status of the ILS using LEDs.

The remote control system consists of an UART/line interface, RC 1241, a front panel, RF
1242A/B (B is a front panel for hot standby configuration) and a slave panel.

The remote control assembly, RCA 1240C/D, consists of the remote control (RC) module RC
1241B and the remote control front panel (RF) RF 1242A/B (the B-version is a front panel
designed for hot standby configuration). See Figure 2-6.

The line interface in RC 1241B converts signals between standard serial data format and tele-
phone line signals both ways using a FSK modem (compatible with CCITT V.21).

The UART /control in RC 1241B performs serial/parallel conversion. Pushbutton, switch and
operational mode (interlock) status is sent from remote control to ILS. Transmitter status and
other information is received from the ILS.

The front panel RF 1242A/B contains the pushbuttons, switches and LEDs for the user.

The slave panel is an optional control panel with a limited set of functions/LEDs, designed for
use in the airport tower.

An alternative Remote Control Assembly RCA 1240E/F can be supplied in the same loca-
tions. This is basically identical to RCA 1240C/D and is described in 8.2.1.2

An optional MP 1574A Meter Panel can be installed with the Remote Control assembly con-
taining two elapsed time counters counting the time that the LLZ and GP equipment has been
transmitting (on air/Normal).

2.6 Remote Monitoring System (RMS)

2.6.1 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.

2.6.2 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, two of which can be used for
remote PC via modems and leased-line or dial-up telephone lines. All three PC’s can be
logged on simultaneously, but only one of them can have write access at a given point in time.

2.6.3 RMS Data bus

The main operation of the RMS parallel data bus is continuously to collect data from the Mon-
itor MO 1212. Additional functions are setting of monitor alarm limits and delays on the MO
1212, setting of TX-parameters on LF-generator LF 1576, and reading of system status from
the TX Control Assembly TCA 1218. Writing of warning status to the TCA 1218 is also done
via the RMS databus.

2.6.4 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 1215 board.

Figure 2-9 The IIC Serial Bus and ADC Channels

The IIC serial bus collects digital status information from MF 1211/19, MO 1212, LF 1576, OS
1221 and the CI 1210 connection interface card. 6 of these are user configurable inputs/out-
puts. The LF 1576 boards control one addional 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 1210 board.

2.6.5 Storage Functions

The ILS has battery backed RAM in the RMS subsystem (RMA 1215) board that is used to
store historical data. Four different types of historical data is 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
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.

2.6.7 RMS Integrity Tests

After each turn-off of the equipment when the equipment is not in manual mode, the RMS soft-
ware on the RMA 1215 performs the following integrity tests. All tests, except test 5, are per-
formed 30 seconds after the turn-off command. Test 5 is performed a configurable time after
the turn-off command (see description below).

Test 1: RF OSCILLATOR OUTPUTS

The RMS verifies that the COU and CLR output level maintenance measurements on the OS
boards are below the warning limit.

Text in event list in case the test fails: “IntTst: OSC not off”

Test 2: LPA/GPA 27V POWER SUPPLY

The RMS verifies that the 27V power supply input on each power amplifier assembly is below
2 volt.

Text in event list in case the test fails: “IntTst: 27V not off”

Test 3: MONITOR RF ALARM STATUS (Text in event list)

The RMS verifies that monitor 1 and 2 reports alarm status on the CL RF and the CLR RF
monitor parameters 30 seconds after the turn-off command.

Text in event list in case the test fails: “IntTst: No RF alarm”

Test 4: TXFB

The TXFB[3:0] are four internal signals on the TC board. The signals are the feedback of sig-
nals used for turning the RF oscillators on and off.

Text in event list in case the test fails: “IntTst: TXFB not 0”)

Test 5: MONITOR ALARM DELAY

The RMS verifies that the transmitter control has detected alarm from the monitors after a
configurable time after the turn-off command.

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:
“Intgrt test FAILED”
• If none of the tests fails the event “Intgrt test ok” will be stored
• The RMS generates the event “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 Integrety Failure (ILS settings –
General Setting – System Options tab – “Signal integrety failure on Param LED”) and an “Int-
grt test FAILED” occur, the only way to reset the LED is to turn the power of the system off and
back on again.

Figure 2-11 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.

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.

3.1.10 Operating the different screens.

The menu system consists of five basic screen types; menu-screens, readout-screens, tog-
gle-screens, input/storing-screens, and the quick read screens.

3.1.10.1 The menu screen

The menu screen is controlled by the key-buttons: <PREV> <NEXT> <ENTER> and <ESC>.

The menu options are formatted as a long list where each option holds one character line. If a
menu screen includes more than four options, a small arrow-indicator will be displayed in the
lower-right corner. This informs the user that more than four menu options are available. The
blinking arrow cursor left to the menu-text is controlled by the <NEXT> and <PREV> keys.
The <ENTER> key activates the menu options left to the arrow-cursor.

The <ESC> key brings the user one menu-level upwards or back in the menu-tree-struc-
ture.The menu scrolls down if the user pushes the <NEXT> key when the arrow-cursor is at
the lower line and the arrow indicator is displayed in the lower-right corner. The menu will in
the same way scroll upwards by pushing the <PREV>-key in a corresponding situation.

3.1.10.2 The readout screen

The readout screens display the various monitor and maintenance parameter readings. The
screens are entered by stepping through the menu options. The <ESC> key brings the user
back to the last menu-screen again. The parameter readings are continuously updated.

3.1.10.3 The toggle screens

The toggle screens offer the user to choose between two or more options. The options text is
enclosed by two blinking square-brackets. The plus «+» and minus «-» keys step through the
various options. The <ENTER> key activates the chosen toggle-option. The <ESC> keys
leaves the screen without activating any of the options.

now be changed by pushing the plus «+» and minus «-» keys. If the input field is digital, the
valid options will be «False» and «True» when the plus «+» and minus «-» keys are pushed.

When all the input numbers in the screen are changed to the preferred new values, the cursor
must be moved to the (UPD)-field in the upper left corner. When the cursor is placed at this
(UPD)-field, the brackets will start blinking. The <ENTER> key will now store the new values
on the screen in the ILS. The <ESC> key leaves the screen unchanged

3.1.10.5 The quick read screens

The quick read screens are access by pushing the <QUICK READ> key. The key toggles
between the original menu tree and the quick read screens. The <QUICK READ> button can
be pushed at all times, not changing the original menu-screens. The quick read screens
include only the basic monitor readings. The <PREV> and <NEXT> keys step through the
quick read screens.

3.1.11.2 Level 3

To enter the level 3 menu option, the LOCAL/REMOTE front panel switch must be in the
LOCAL position. In addition the WRITE PROTECT switch must be in the horizontal position.
The user must key a 4 character password to enter level 3 access. The access-screen is oper-
ated similarly to an input/store-screen. The blinking cursor is moved by the <PREV> and
<NEXT> keys. A blinking input-field is changed by the plus «+» and minus «-» keys.

When the correct password is entered, the cursor must be moved to the <level 3 access>-
field. The brackets will then start blinking. The <ENTER> key will now bring the user to the
level 3 options. The <ESC> key leaves the screen back to the main menu.

3.1.11.3 Leaving the access levels

If the user enters level 3, an extra menu line, reading “Leave level 3”, is added in the main
menu screen. The user can enter this menu option to leave access level 3, but remain at level
2.

To leave access level 2 the LOCAL/REMOTE switch must be changed to REMOTE.

Note that access level 3 is also left when the front panel switches are changed to an illegal
position. (e.g. switch in REMOTE position, or write protect in vertical position.

3.2.10 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 switchlock must be set in horizontal position

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

3.3 Remote Maintenance and Monitoring Software

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.

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 Monthly inspections

Test equipment
• ILS Field Test Set / NAV Analyzer with portable antenna

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 apart 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 is then measured
for each transmitter. A detector and a wave analyzer can be used. The detected signal is feed-
ing the wave analyzer from which a value is obtained on a root mean square (RMS) calcula-
tion basis. Other instruments as distortion factor meter or NAV Analyzer can be used.

4.2.3.11 Final check LLZ

Check that all electrical contacts and connectors are not loose.

Carry out a visual check outside and inside of the equipment.

Check that all switches and keys are in NORMAL position.

Check that the System lamp status is NORMAL after the switches AUTO/MANUAL and
REMOTE ON/OFF are in AUTO and ON respectively.

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 LLZ 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.

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.

following boards need to be replaced: MO 1212, LF 1576, or RMA 1215
• 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-
5.3.10
• 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.

5.3.10.1 Adjustment of the I Q ILS transmitter

Field adjustment of the transmitter may normally only be necessary in the following situations:
• Installing a new system
• Changing channel frequency of existing system
• Replacing a faulty unit

The following procedure describes how the LPA/GPA modules should be checked/aligned if a
major discrepancy is observed. It may be necessary to carry out the procedure during the
installation phase of a new installation, if the channel frequency of the system is being
changed or when a replacement module is put into the system.

At the end of the procedure there is also a description describing how to set system parame-
ters as DDM, SDM CSB/SBO phase even if these parameter adjustment really are system
adjustments and will normally be done during antenna system alignment.

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 on the external power module, there is a problem
with the 27V power supply, the battery chargers or the system is on battery operation.

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

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 frontend tests

DIAGNOSTIC ALGORITHM:

Warning on monitor frontend 1 implies monitor frontend 1 failure if there is no warning on mon-
itor frontend 2 and vice versa.

DESCRIPTION:

The maintenance measurements from the monitor frontend 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 frontend boards. The algorithm assumes that both fron-
tends 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 frontend health status.

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 frontend tests

DIAGNOSTIC ALGORITHM:

If there is a warning on the standby monitor frontend board AND there is no warning or alarm
indication on the standby monitor measurements then the standby monitor frontend 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:

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 5-11 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.

This is the preferred configuration.

When the LLZ shall be used as ident master, connect as shown in Figure 7-14 or Figure 7-15.
In the RMM program, ILS settings / Transmitter settings, DME interface tab (see Appendix D),
set LLZ as master and the DME active signal according to the DME’s manual. The IDENT
TYPE can be set to CODE or PULSE. If set to CODE, the LLZ will send the Morse code enve-
lope to the DME. If set to PULSE, the LLZ send a start pulse to the DME. When the DME is
active, the LLZ will send every forth ident word to the DME. When the DME is inactive the LLZ
will be keying four out of four words. If the LLZ shall be keying three out of four words whether
the DME is active or not, disconnect the DME ACTIVE wires and program the DME active sig-
nal to OPEN.

7.2.8.2 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 7-17. 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 LLZ will receive the Morse code envelope from the DME. If set to PULSE,
the LLZ will radiate its own programmed Morse code when it receives a start pulse from the
DME. If the LLZ does not receive any ident signal for approximately 20 seconds, the LLZ will
start to transmit its own programmed Morse code. When the DME signal returns, the LLZ will
start to transmit the DME code instantaneously.

7.2.9 Analog Inputs

7.2.9.1 General Description

The analog inputs are connected to the Connection Interface board CI 1210A as illustrated in
Figure 7-19

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
(i.e. 220/9VAC) to monitor the mains voltage
Maximum voltage: 24Vpp
Input impedance: 10kOhms

Suitable female connectors are Weidemüller BLZ-5.08/4 or equivalent.

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

Connectors: ANALOG CH.1, 2 and 3 on CI 1210A.

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.

7.2.10 Digital Inputs and Outputs

Eight bidirectional digital channels (numbered 0-7) are located on the Connection Interface
board CI 1210A as illustrated in Figure 7-21

Logic levels: TTL.

Input impedance: 4.7kOhms.

Output impedance: Open collector with 4.7kOhms pull-up resistor.

Suitable female connectors are Weidemüller BLZ-5.08/4 or equivalent.

Note about using these channels as inputs on CI 1210A part rev. 3 or earlier:

To drive a channel configured as an input the user equipment must be able to source approx.
10 mA at +5 V for the high logic level. This can be sourced from the +27V by using a 2.7
kOhms resistor. There is no need to pull down for the low logic level.

7.2.17 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 1346, P6 in the remote
control.

Connections from the ILS rack to the Remote Control:

Input in ILS rack, MB 1575, P15 Output in Remote Control, MB 1346, P6


Pin no. Signal name Pin no. Signal name
1 AUX_RI_IN0 1 AUX_RC_OUT0

6 AUX_RC_IN1 6 AUX_RI_OUT1
7 AUX_RC_IN2 7 AUX_RI_OUT2
4, 9, 10 GND 10 GND

Signal interfaces:

All inputs are TTL level with pull-up to 5VDC. Outputs are TTL buffers with a drive capability of
20mA maximum. Care must be taken to avoid overloading the outputs. This may occur if the
outputs are connected directly to external equipment without a galvanic barrier.

NOTE:

Refer to 7.2.19 for additional information.

7.7 Factory Default Configuration Settings

7.7.1 Cat I monitor LIMIT configuration

Factory default alarm, warning-limits and nominal values are shown in Table 7-13.

DDM values are in % DDM (which is the default DDM measurement unit in the RMM soft-
ware).

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 7-13. 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.

7.7.2 Description of the FFM EXE AL limits

The FFM EXE AL (Far Field Monitor Executive Alarm) parameter is used to implement execu-
tive changeover/shutdown on FFM alarms. This measurement is zero when no alarms exists
on the FFM DDM/SDM/RF parameters. When an alarm has lasted for the time configured in
the FFM delay value, this measurement will be set to the value 101.

By setting the FFM EXE AL high alarm limit to 100, the TX Control will initiate an (executive)
changeover or shutdown on FFM parameter alarms. (Actually, any high alarm limit between 1
and 100 would work, but 100 is recommended as the default if executive FFM alarms is
desired.)

For non-executive FFM alarms, set the FFM EXE AL high alarm limit to a value higher than
101 (200 is recommended as the default).

7.7.3 Description of the CL IDENT and CLR IDENT limits

The CL ID ACT and CLR ID ACT parameters are the absolute value of the difference between
two consecutive 1020 Hz modulation measurements taken on the Course Line and Clearance
channels. This means that these parameters will have the value 0 when, for example, the
ident-keyer stops sending Morse code or if the 1020 Hz tone is continuously on (at approxi-
mately the same level). A positive non-zero value is therefore an indication of ident. modula-
tion activity.

The recommended low warning limit is 2.5. The ident. modulation levels then needs to be
large enough to periodically produce a CL or CLR ID ACT measurement that is greater than
this low limit to reset the ID ACT delay counter. All measurements that is greater than this min-
imum value should be accepted, the upper warning limit is therefore set to a large value (20 is
the recommended value).

If executive changeover/shutdown is desired on alarms on the CL or CLR IDENT parameters,


the warning limits recommended above should be used, instead of OFF, on the alarm limits.

The factory default delay configuration for Cat I and II/III (values compliant with ICAO Annex
10) are shown in Table 7-17.

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, MORSE and VOICE parameters. The FFM delay is used on all
FFM parameters including FFM EXE AL. The GEN delay is used on all remaining parameters.

See Appendix D for information on delay configuration using the RMM software.

*) 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.

7.7.7 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.

8. Section 8 Detailed Technical Description

8.1 Main Cabinet

This Section gives a detailed description of the assemblies and modules in the NORMARC
7013B and 7014B.

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 1211A Localizer Monitor Frontend

General Description:

The MF 1211A module comprises four identical circuits that receive RF monitoring signals
from the antenna monitoring network. The RF signals are detected and their baseband signals
(envelope of the signals) are generated. In addition the module generates DC signals propor-
tional to the input RF levels. In two-frequency systems a pulse train which frequency is identi-
cal to the difference of frequency between the CL- an CLR.signals are extracted.

Block Diagram Description:

The block diagram of the module is shown in Figure 8-1. The four identical channels are:
• DS (Displacement Sensitivity)
• NF (Near Field)
• CL (Course Line)
• CLR (Clearance, used by two frequency systems only)

Each channel is divided into the following blocks: XX_FILT, XX_ RFAMP, XX_LEV,
XX_BASEB, and XX_LPFI. The CL channel is described below

In addition there is a frequency mixer circuit that generates the difference in frequency
between the CL- and CLR- input signals and a maintenance monitoring section which gener-
ates a maintenance warning to the RMS via an IIC bus if low modulation depth or low RF level
should occur.

CL_FILT

In this block the input RF signal is coarsely set to optimum performance level by combining
any of the three jumper selectable attenuators of 6dB, 12dB, and 16dB resulting in 0 to 34dB
input attenuation. Thus input levels from 0dBm to –35dBm may be accepted. The following
band pass filter rejects signals outside the ILS band to minimize out of band interference.

Commercial - in - Confidence

CL_RFAMP

The signal from CL_FILT is amplified and split into two separate branches.

The RF level_RF signal is applied to the RF level detector (see next block), while the other
branch is used for baseband processing and comprises a PIN diode attenuator which is part
of the automatic gain control (AGC) system.

The RF vernier control (R 2338 for CL channel) is used to fine-tune the input level to optimum
value.

CL_LEV

The temperature compensated diode detector processes the baseband of the RF input. Its
output signal is amplified and then split into two branches, one is low pass filtered, buffered
and applied to the monitor module MO 1212A (see section 8.1.2). This DC signal is propor-
tional to the input level of the channel and is being used to monitor the RF level. The potenti-
ometer RF LEVEL DC OUT is used for calibration of the display reading. The other branch is
connected to the CL_BASEB block there it is used to control the AGC circuit (refer to descrip-
tion in next block).

CL_BASEB

This block comprises two functions:

Demodulation of the AGC controlled RF signal and generation of the AGC signal which con-
trols the gain of the PIN diode attenuator in CL_RFAMP. The diode detector is identical to that
of the CL_LEV.

After demodulation the baseband signal is amplified and the DC offset is removed before it is
applied to the LPFI block, see next block.

The AGC will keep the baseband signal at correct level, which is set by the potentiometer of
the voltage reference. This is the SDM calibration of the monitor.

To minimize settling time due to time constants of the AGC loop, a nominal AGC voltage is
inserted when no RF input signal is present. The size of this nominal voltage is adjusted with
the AGC_TIME potentiometer.

If a RF signal is detected by the RF_ LEV circuit the inserted voltage is switched off, and the
AGC loop starts operating normally from nominal operating conditions.

CL_LPFI

The active low pass filters in this block removes frequency components above the ILS base-
band. By turning the potentiometer in the filter the amplitude transfer function is affected, thus
the DDM reading is adjusted. This is a factory adjustment and will normally not be necessary
to carry out on site.

DF_MIXER

The CL- and CLR RF signals are feed to a frequency mixer, and its output is low pass filtered
and applied to a voltage comparator which generates the difference frequency in TTL format.

MAINTMON

This block compares the level of the baseband signals and RF levels from all four channels of
the module with preset limits and reports to the RMS if a signal is outside this range.

8.1.2 MO 1212A Monitor

General Description:

The MO 1212A module digitally converts and processes NAV parameters, compares them
with programmable limits and reports alarm situations to the Station Control on TCA 1218
(Section 8.1.3) and the RMS.

Block Diagram:

Se Figure 8-2

Block Description:

LF_FRONT:

The analog signals from MF 1211A Monitor Frontend are multiplexed and digitized, and the
difference frequency (DF) pulse train is counted as a 12 bits value. These digital values are
multiplexed into the FIFO along with the DC loop (DL_Detect[3:0]), External (Ext_Val[11:0])
and test channels. The FIFO is seven words deep, and the sampling frequency is 640 Hz/
channel. Much of the functionality of LF-Front is handled by a FPGA NMP101A which is
described in Section Figure 8.1.2.1

A special self-test feature has been integrated into the monitor system for continuous check-
ing of the monitor integrity. This starts in the LF_FRONT by multiplexing a degenerated CL
baseband into separate self-test channels. These signals are sampled and checked in the
same manner as the ordinary baseband signals. The test channels repeatedly switches
between normal signal values and degenerated signal values, thus toggling the status of
these channels between normal and alarm later in the monitor chain. If the CL signals in the
Station Control on TCA 1218 are normal, the test signals are checked for toggling between
normal and alarm states. If not toggling, the monitor is supposed to not being able to detect
alarms in the ordinary monitor signals, and the whole monitor is put into alarm state. Based on
the state of the other monitor, you will have an alarm changeover/shutdown or a system warn-
ing.

DSP_FILTER

Performs all filtering in the Monitor. Data is read from the LF_FRONTEND FIFO, AC data are
FFT analysed and for the DC data mean values are calculated. The calculated parameters are
written to the COMPARATOR. DSP_FILTER consists of a TMS320C31 DSP, a memory block
and a reset/watchdog circuit.

COMPARATOR

Compares the parameters received from DSP_FILTER with the programmed upper and lower
alarm limits. Alarm data are passed on to the Station Control and Terminator (on TCA 1218
(Section 8.1.3) on a dedicated bus. The COMPARATOR generates both instantaneous and
delayed alarms. The delayed signal is sent only if the alarm is still present after the pro-
grammed delay period. All parameters, alarm and warning data are passed on to the RMS via
an output FIFO (warning information is treated by the RMS). The alarm and warning limits and
delays are stored in the local EEPROM. Much of the functionality of COMPARATOR is han-
dled by two FPGAs NMP102A and NMP103A described in Section 8.1.2.2.

8.1.2.1 NMP101A Monitor Digital Frontend

General description:

NMP101A is a FPGA in the LF-FRONT block. It serves as an interface between the (digitized)
inputs from the monitor frontend MF 1211A and the DSP_FILTER block. NMP101A is based
on the Actel ACT1020 FPGA. For electrical specifications see the ACT1020 datasheet.

Block Diagram

See Figure 8-2

Block Description:

REF COUNTER

Divides the system clock (4.9152 MHz) for use in channel addressing. It also generates the
read/convert pulse to the external ADC.

DIFF FREQ COUNTER

Counts the pulse train that represents the frequency difference between the CL and CLR sig-
nals. It generates a 12 bits value which multiplied by 20 gives the true frequency difference.

MUX

Selects between DF, one of sixteen channels from the ADC or one of the eight external chan-
nels in a roundabout manner to the FIFO.

FIFO

Is a 7x17 bits first in first out queue with interface to the TMS320C31 DSP in the DSP_FILTER
block. The five most significant bits are channel address and the 12 least significant bits are
data. FIFO reports error to the COMPARATOR and data available (DAV) status to the DSP.

8.1.2.2 NMP102A / NMP103A Comparator

INPUT LATCH:

Stores the parameter number and value coming from DSP_FILTER.

SEQUENCE CONTROLLER:

Controls the entire operation of reading alarm limits from the EEPROM, runs parity checks on
the alarm limit values, compares the parameter value from DSP_FILTER with upper and lower
alarm limits, reads and parity checks the alarm delay values and delays any alarms corre-
spondingly.

COMP:

Compares the parameter value from DSP_FILTER with the alarm limits from EEPROM and
generates a raw alarm.

DELAY:

Delays the raw alarms corresponding to the delay values in the EEPROM.

FIFO CONTROL:

Writes data into the FIFO when the comparator cycle is finished.

EEPROM INTERF.:

Controls the interface towards the EEPROM. EEPROM write is only allowed if RMS_LEVEL1
is a logic '0' (RMS access level3).

RMS INTERF.:

Is the interface to the RMS. It controls interrupt when data is ready in the FIFO and generates
addresses for EEPROM programming and status and control signals.

PARITY CHECK:

Checks incoming data from the EEPROM. Single bit errors are corrected, and only a parity
warning is passed to the RMS. If two bits are erroneous, all output alarms are set, and a parity
error is passed to the RMS.

EEPROM:

The EEPROM is used to store the alarm limits. Warning limits used by the RMS are also
stored here.

FIFO:

The FIFO is used to streamline the data transfer to the RMS. One full set of 32 parameters is
written to the FIFO before the interrupt is activated.

STATION CONTROL (SC MON DATA DETECTOR, SC STATE MACHINE CONTROL, SC


EVENT DETECTION)

Interprets the alarm bus from the monitors MO 1212A and generates alarm (and standby
alarm for hot standby configurations). These signals together with inputs from local controls
(on LC 1217), remote controls (via CI 1210A), RMS inputs and configuration setup (in EEP-
ROM and jumper settings) determine the state/state change for the NORMARC 70xxB trans-
mitter state. Status information are generated and sent to local control panel (LC 1217) and
remote control panel (via CI 1210A). 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 LPA1580A by turning off the RF-oscillators OS 1221A.

Most of the functionality of STATION CONTROL is handled by three FPGAs NMP104A,


NMP105A and NMP106A described in Sections 8.1.3.1 - 8.1.3.3.

TERMINATOR

Interprets the alarm bus from the monitors MO 1212A and generates alarm. This signal
together with local controls (on LC 1217), remote controls (via CI 1210A), 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.

Most of the functionality of TERMINATOR is handled by FPGA NMP107A 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.

CONFIG

Jumper plugs for configuration of the NORMARC 70xxB.

DEBOUNCE

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

LOCAL CONTROL

Consist of keys, switches, switchlocks lamps and indicators located on LC 1217 used to con-
trol and indicate operational status of the NORMARC 70xxB.

8.1.3.1 NMP104A Station Control Monitor Data Detector

General Description:

NMP104A is a FPGA within the STATION CONTROL block. It serves as a monitor alarm/error
detection and monitor alarm voting unit. NMP104A is based on the Actel ACT1020 FPGA. For
electrical specifications see the ACT1020 datasheet.

Block Diagram:

See Figure 8-3.

Block Description:

MON.1 ALARM & ERROR DETECTION

This block decodes the MON1 SC Alarm bus and generates alarm if the monitor MO 1212A
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 timeout 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 NMP105A depending on jumper configu-
ration (1 of 2 or 2 of 2 voting) in the CONFIG block and inputs from the two MO 1212A moni-
tors (not including standby monitor). When configured for 2 of 2 voting, both MO 1212A
monitors must give alarm to set the VALARM output. When configured for 1 of 2 voting, alarm
from one of the two MO 1212A monitors is sufficient to set VALARM.

STB 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.

PUSHBUTTON ONESHOTS

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

8.1.3.2 NMP105A Station Control Event Detection

General Description:

NMP105A is a FPGA within the STATION CONTROL BLOCK. It serves as an event detection
and control unit. The NMP105A also includes the station control RMS-interface. The event
information is output to the station control state machine controller NMP106A. NMP105A is
based on the Actel ACT1020 FPGA. For electrical specifications see the ACT1020 datasheet.

Block Diagram:

See Figure 8-6.

Block Description:

RMS INTERFACE

The RMS interface provides interface to the RMS BUS

LAMP STATUS GENERATION

This block generates lamp status information for the LOCAL CONTROL and REMOTE CON-
TROL IF blocs.

RMS LEVEL DETECT

This block decodes RMS access levels 2 and 3 using access configuration in CONFIG block,
write disable switchlock information from LOCAL CONTROL, access grant from Remote Con-
trol IF and access requests from the RMS.

EVENT DETECT

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 NMP106A. 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 (LPA1580A ) without notifying the rest of the system. The loss of transmitted sig-
nal will be detected by the monitors (MO 1212) and cause monitor alarms to the STATION
CONTROL.This alarm will result in a TX changeover initiated by STATION CONTROL, but
since STBY 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 timeout 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

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

MAIN SELECT STORE

This block stores the information regarding which transmitter that is selected as main transmit-
ter.

INTERLOCK DELAY

This block turns on the transmitters 20 seconds after the interlock signal from the REMOTE
CONTROL IF block has been deactivated.

8.1.3.3 NMP106A Station Control State Machine Control

General Description:

NMP106A 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. NMP106A is
based on the Actel ACT1020 FPGA. For electrical specifications see the ACT1020 datasheet.

Block Diagram:

See Figure 8-5.

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 NMP105A. 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/timeouts 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.

Commercial - in - Confidence

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 NMP105A for reading by the RMS.

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 NMP107A Terminator

General Description:

NMP107A 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.
NMP107A is based on the Actel ACT1020 FPGA. For electrical specifications see the
ACT1020 datasheet.

Block Diagram:

See Figure 8-5.

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 switchlock 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 timeout.
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 switchlock 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
1212A 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 timeout for RDY-signal. Any alarm/error will set the monitor alarm output (M1ALARM) for
the duration of the next 32 parameters, meaning that 32 parameters without alarm/error must
be received before the alarm output is reset.

MON.2 ALARM & ERROR DETECTION

Same as for MON.1 ALARM & ERROR DETECTION but for MON2 TRM ALARM BUS.

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 1212A monitors (not including
STBY monitor). When configured for 2 of 2 voting both MO 1212A monitors must give alarm to
set the ~VALARM output. When configured for 1 of 2 voting alarm from one of the two MO
1212A monitors is sufficient to set the ~VALARM.

8.1.3.5 NMP109A Remote Control Interface

General Description:

NMP109A is a FPGA providing most of REMOTE CONTROL IF function. The NMP109A


transfers data between STATION CONTROL and TERMINATOR and the remote control (via
CI 1210A). NMP109A is based on the Actel ACT1020 FPGA. For electrical specifications see
the ACT1020 datasheet.

Block Diagram:

See Figure 8-6.

Block Description:

STB 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 I
1210A) is start bit, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, odd parity.

RX UART

Converts serial data SDIN received from remote control (via CI 1210A) 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 1210A 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 timeout (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.

8.1.4 LF 1576A Low Frequency Generator

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 8-5. 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

Instruction Manual NORMARC 7013B-7014B


23136-I8/Rev.6/02-Jul-07
Page 8-18 ©2007 Park Air Systems AS
Commercial - in - Confidence

• Limits write access to the memory, so that the DSP cannot alter the sources for the
signal generation while not allowed by the system access level of the system
• Generates 30Hz test signal (controlled by the DSP)
• 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 selftest 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.

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:

Commercial - in - Confidence

• Digital to analog conversions for CSB, SBO I and SBO Q


• Mixing of voice signals onto baseband
• Selecting between analog and digital voice input
• Generation of ident signals (filtered from CSB baseband)

COU DAC and CLR DAC

Digital to Analog Converters that converts serial data from the DSP to actual LF outputs. The
resolution of the DACs used is 14-bits.

VOLT REF (10V)

Reference voltage used by the analog circuitry.

Block Description:

The RF signal is generated by a voltage controlled oscillator (VCO) built around a Dual Gate
Mosfet Transistor, chosen because of its good noise properties, and the possibility to have an
isolated output at the drain.

A part of the signal is fed back, via a buffer for isolation, to a divide by 64, modulus 2 pres-
caler. This is connected to a MC145152-2, a phase locked loop circuit that performs the count-
ing and control of the prescaler. The total count, and thereby the frequency, is set by inserting
shunts onto an array of pins.

Please find tables of jumper settings in Section 7.10

The internal oscillator of the Course PLL is also used to control the Clearance PLL.

A combined low-pass filter and integrator is built around an operational amplifier, that gener-
ates the control voltage for the RF oscillator. This control voltage is also fed to a window com-
parator that alarms the system via the I2C-bus if it falls outside its limits. Another control of the
PLL is via the Lock Detect output of the PLL. The Lock Detect output of the PLL circuit is fed
to a low pass filter and a transistor. This output consists of narrow negative going pulses when
the loop is locked, and wide pulses of variable width when out of lock. Therefore the transistor
will be turned off when in lock, and on when out of lock.

The output from the transistor goes to two Schmidt triggers, one latching and one unlatching.
The latching Schmidt trigger turns the signal off if the loop goes out of lock and alarms the I2C-
bus. It is reset by power on and/or a low transition of the COU_OFF signal (CLR_OFF for the
clearance channel). The other Schmidt trigger is used to inform the system of the situation
that the loop have been out of lock, but is in lock at the present time even if the signal is turned
off (this might be the situation if a short drop in the 12V supply occurs, or a change in fre-
quency setting has taken place).

The signal ON/OFF switching is done in two steps. The first is a diode switch and the next is a
Dual Gate Mosfet transistor that can be turned off by taking its control gate to a low potential.
This transistor acts as a buffer for the signal when in the on state. At the output of this transis-
tor, a second order bandpass filter follows, that serves as an output match of the transistor
and to filter out harmonics of the output voltage. The last stage is a 12dB gain block that deliv-
ers 10mW of power to the PC1225 card.

The Clearance channel is identical to the Course channel except for the crystal oscillator for
the PLL.

8.1.6 LPA 1580A Localizer Power Amplifier Assembly

General Description:

The Localizer Power Amplifier Assembly LPA 1580A consists of CB 1579A and PA 1577A
mounted together as shown on Figure 8-7.

The LPA 1580A receives RF signals and LF signals from the OS 1221A Oscillator (Section
8.1.5) and LF 1576A low frequency generator (Section 8.1.4) respectively. The outputs from
the LPA 1580A are carrier sideband (CSB) signal and sideband only (SBO) signal.

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 8-8 and Figure 8-9.

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.

Description of blocks:
1. AGC and splitter

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

2. Phase control
• Mosfet based phase compensator with 270 degrees of phase adjustment
• The phaseshift is obtained by changing the voltage across a varicap, controlled from
the IIC bus

Commercial - in - Confidence

• The phaseshifted LO signal is buffered with a second FET stage and a gainblock.
Hence the proper signal level and isolation is obtained
• The uncompensated branch is buffered with a gainblock only
• Buffering of LO signal to give sufficient LO level, and give isolation between the modu-
lator and demodulator LO inputs

3. Error amplifier
• The difference between I/Q signals and I/Q feedback signals is amplified and fed to the
I/Q modulator and to the Maint. Monitor (I-drive, Q-drive)
• Differential inputs eliminates DC offset on the baseband signal
• A precision Op Amp with sufficient bandwidth compared to required loop bandwidth
has been deployed as error amp. The op-amp operates as an integrator
• Switches are included for open-loop and unity gain settings in the alignment process,
controlled by the IIC bus
• In the CSB path I-off and Q-off signals allow adjustment of the I-path and Q-path sepa-
rately, controlled by the IIC bus
• Protection mechanism for high VSWR and high temperature power down. Attenuation
of the input signal to the error-amplifier to turn off the PA output, in case of high VSWR
or temperature
• Protection mechanism to delay the loop gain until the PA is fully powered

4. Modulator
• Direct modulation by means of Gilbert-cell mixers. Baseband and LO input, modulated
RF output
• The LO to the I and Q modulators is provided by a 90º hybrid

5. PA
• Input power: 6 dBm
• The CSB amplifier uses a driver stage with 2 RF mosfet transistors, and an output
stage with one push-pull double RF mosfet transistor. The SBO amplifier uses 2 RF
mosfets
• The CSB amplifier for GP CLR uses uses 2 RF mosfets
• A hybrid coupler is located on the PA board. Forward coupled signal is attenuated and
split to a monitor output and to the feedback loop. Reverse coupled signal is detected
on the PA board. Reverse signal controls VSWR power down switches on the Error
amp board

6. Splitter/attenuators
• A resistive splitter splits the forward coupled signal in one path to the demodulator and
one path to the power measurement and test connector circuits

7. Demodulator
• Direct demodulation by means of Gilbert-cell mixers. RF and LO input, baseband out-
put
• The LO to the I and Q demodulators is provided by a 90º hybrid
• DC offset adjustment eliminates DC offset from the I and Q demodulator output in the
feedback loop
• Gain adjustment to set equal gain in I and Q paths
• The circuit is composed of Op-amps and digital controlled variable resistors. The vari-
able resistors are controlled through an IIC bus
• Lowpass filters on the output of the demodulator to prevent RF overload of the base-
band sections

8. Maintenance circuits
• A 8-input A/D converter measures forward and reverse power in the CSB and SBO
outputs. It also reads the I and Q drive level to the modulators (normal operation) or
the output from the demodulators (test mode)
• A temperature sensor IC provide temperature measurements, and also can provide an
over-temperature signal to the error amplifier
• The measurements are sent to the RMS system through the IIC bus

System Description:

Refer to the system diagram above. CSB and SBO signals from the STB transmitter are sam-
pled through the directional couplers (DC420C) and fed to the input ports CSB and SBO
respectively on the SC898C signal combiner. The cable lengths are cut such that the input
phase difference of P2 is 180°.

Block Description:

The unit has two input ports and one output port. The assembly consists of a 18dB fixed atten-
uator, a15-35dB adjustable attenuator, and a 3 dB 0 phase signal combiner(P2).

The purpose of the unit is to combine samples of the CSB and SBO signals from the transmit-
ter and produce standard Course Sector DDM signal output.

In order to combine to a standard value DDM at the DS port the RF phases of the 90 and
150Hz sidebands from the CSB signal must be in antiphase (180°) with the SBO signal at the
input ports of the combiner P2. The DDM is then given by the equation
ESBO
DDM = 2
ECSB

DDM expressed in absolute value, ESBO and ECSB given in relative voltage values.

The adjustable attenuator R4 is provided for accurately setting of the DS DDM value.

Block Description.

CPU

The CPU is an 80C188EB micro controller with addresses decoding unit and two UARTs. Only
one of these UARTs is utilised for serial communication. The other has been mapped as a par-
allel IO port. The operating frequency of the CPU is 20 MHz provided by an external 40 MHz
oscillator.

WATCHDOG AND BATTERY

A watchdog resets the CPU at power up and if the CPU does not toggle the watchdog reset bit
within approx. 1.6 sec. intervals, or if the +5V supply voltage goes below the battery voltage.
In the latter case battery voltage will be connected to the RAM and RTC. Removal of the bat-
tery or jumper S1 will cause the RESET line to go low and inhibit any function on the module.
If a battery is not available, operation can be achieved by shortening the battery socket. The
battery can be disconnected by removing jumper S1 when the module is being stored. The
battery voltage is measured using an optocoupler switch in order not to discharge the battery.
The battery provides approximately one month of memory retention at continuous use (sys-
tem power turned off). RMS battery status is reported by the RMS system as Maintenance
Parameter RMS BATTERY.

INTERRUPT CIRCUITRY

The interrupt circuitry combines several interrupts into the 5 interrupt inputs of the CPU.

DISPLAY

The display used is a 20 characters by 4 lines LCD.

KEYPAD

The keypad consists of seven pushbuttons, directly connected to a parallel input port.

DOUBLE UART

The dual UART is a standard UART with a 16 byte bidirectional FIFO on both channels.

RS 232 DRIVERS

The RS 232 drivers are single supply RS 232 drivers. They provide the interface between the
UARTs and external PCs and modems.

IIC CONTROLLER

The IIC controller handles the communication on the IIC bus which is the main communication
bus for maintenance data collection in the NM 70xx ILS.

REAL TIME CLOCK

The real time clock keeps track of the date and time. Date and time is used to timestamp mon-
itor and maintenance data sets. The RTC accuracy is better than 15 seconds per 24 hours.

CTRL PORT

The CTRL ports in the block diagram are parallel IO ports for the CPU.

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.

AURAL IDENT

The Aural ident block contains an analogue MUX, an amplifier and a loudspeaker. It enables
the user to listen to the ident morse code from each of the four transmitters. The Det. ident
inputs are detected CSB signal, filtered through a 1020Hz bandpass filter.

MEMORY

The memory block contains RAM for data storage, EPROM for the program and EEPROM for
permanent system setup parameters. The RAM has battery backup in order to retain logging
data during a power down.

COMMAND MIXER

This block mixes the on/off and changeover commands from the different sources (remote
control front panel or slave front panel input).

TX UART

Converts parallel data to 2-bytes serial messages. The protocol is start bit, 8 data bits, 1 stop
bit, odd parity.

RX UART

Converts serial data from remote control to parallel data (2 bytes).

MESSAGE DETECTOR

Messages are accepted only if two equal messages are received in sequence. If so, the data
output is updated and a new-message pulse is asserted.

NEW MESSAGE TIMER

Checks that an OK message and carrier detect is present. Missing message or no carrier
detect for 2 seconds or more gives timeout.

LED & BUZZER FILTER

Data from the ILS cabinet is filtered according to the following descriptions:
• Missing data from ILS sets an alarm condition (Alarm LED on, all other off)
• Activating SILENCE-key turns on all LED’s (lamptest)
• Interlock turns off all LEDs

Buzzers are activated at transitions from normal to alarm. Lamptest always activates buzzers.
Pressing SILENCE-key deactivates the local buzzer. The remote control SILENCE-key may
deactivate the slave panel buzzer, while SILENCE from the slave panel may deactivate the
local buzzer (both separately configurable).

8.2.1.2 RCA 1240E/F

An alternative Remote Control Assembly RCA 1240E/F can be supplied that is providing the
same functionality as the RCA 1240C/D with a few added features:
• Enhanced comm. fail detection and reporting. At communication fail for the link (FSK
or RS 232) between the Remote Control and the connected ILS equipment all indica-
tors on the Remote Control Panel will be blanked apart from the red ALARM LED that
will be lit. A dedicated Comm. Fail output is added (P10 pin 2 on MB 1346)
• Configurable Interlock input polarity (S13)
• Configurable polarity of Slave output signals (S14)
• Configurable blanking of all LED indicators apart from the red ALARM LED at Interlock
OFF (S15)

In addition, a buzzer and a silence pushbutton is included.

The connection to the rest of the system is done through a 25 pin PCB mounted male DSUB
connector. This must be connected either to CF 1510 (for use in equipment room) or to con-
nector P7 on MB 1509 if it is intended for use elsewhere, e.g. in the tower.

For further details, please see chapter 8.2.7.4.

8.2.7.2 CF 1510A Cat- and FFM-status indicator

The CAT- and FFM Indicator CF 1510A is an Euro Board of size 160 x 100 mm. The unit inter-
faces the Motherboard MB 1509A through a 96-pin Euro connector.

The unit gets the alarm- and warning status from the LLZ- and GP remote controls (via moth-
erboard MB 1509A) and use this information to calculate the overall CAT-status for one run-
way end.

One 25-pin DSUB connector mounted on the PCB makes it possible to connect the unit to a
CP 1511A Cat Status Panel via a flat cable. This panel will normally be located right in front of
the CF 1510A unit.

Block Description:

LLZ Inputs:

Status signals from Localizer (LLZ) remote control. The signals enter the motherboard MB
1509A via flatcable and the CF 1510A through 96-pin euro connector J1.

GP Inputs:

Status signals from Glidepath (GP) remote control. The signals enter the motherboard MB
1509A via flatcable and the CF 1510A through 96-pin euro connector J1.

Strap Fields:

This is a set of two-way straps connected to the status signals from LLZ and GP. The jumper
settings for each of these signals determine if this shall lead to a downgrade to CAT II, CAT I
or no downgrade (when strap is not set).

CAT-status:

This is the part of the circuit board that determines the CAT-status for the runway. The unit
uses the Interlock, Alarm and Normal status received from the remote controls to determine
whether the ILS system is “OFF”, “LLZ Only” or in one of the three categories. In the latter
case the status from the strap fields are read to determine if a the overall CAT status of the
runway. Please refer to Table 8-2

Buzzer Logic:

This is a small logical sub unit that is used to switch the buzzer on or off. The buzzing is deter-
mined by the use of silence pushbuttons on the status- and slave panels and the toggling of
the FFM Alarm signal.

Outputs:

Signals used to display the calculated CAT status for the runway. The signals are sent to sta-
tus panel CP 1511A located in tower and a Personal Computer via the backplane MB 1509.
The signals are also relayed to the CAT- status panel CP 1511A located in the control room in
front of the CF 1510-module via connector P2.

8.2.7.4 Calculation of the ILS Category Status

Which one of the five lamps indicating runway status that actually are lit is determined by the
criteria shown in Table 8-2

Signal LLZ GP Remarks


name Alarm Alarm (Only one of the five signal lamps may be lit)
Cat III No No Determined by warning status.
Cat II No No Determined by warning status.
Cat I No No Determined by warning status.
LLZ Only No Yes
Off Yes (N/A)

Table 8-2 CAT Status criteria.

If an interlock switch is used to deselect the runway, none of the LEDs are lit.

It is important to remember that the lamps only show the status of the ILS equipment. To oper-
ate in CAT II or III the airport and runway in question must be certified for this kind of opera-
tion. Other criteria must also be fulfilled. For details about this, please refer to your aviation
authorities.

If both the Localizer and Glide Path are operating as normal (no alarms) the runway is consid-
ered to be operative. The maximum CAT status of the ILS equipment is then calculated from
the warning status of the Localizer and Glide Path.

The status indicators are field programmable by links located on the CF 1510A unit. Each link
has two positions, marked with CAT II and CAT I. A link set in CAT II position means that this
particular event/failure shall cause a runway degradation to CAT II. The same goes for CAT I.
A link not present means that the event shall not cause degradation.

The following selectable downgrade criteria are available:

LLZ:

Strap Failure Strap not set Strap set in Strap set in


pos 2-3 pos 1-2
S1 Lost primary TX (standby on air) (Stby) No degrade CAT II CAT I
S2 Lost standby TX (standby alarm) No degrade CAT II CAT I
S3 Mains loss (Batt) No degrade CAT II CAT I
S4 Mains low (Batt low) No degrade CAT II CAT I
S5 Loss of Ident if Ident is not executive (Ident) No degrade CAT II CAT I
S6 Loss of monitor-redundancy (Disagr) No degrade CAT II CAT I
S7 Primary parameter warning (Param) No degrade CAT II CAT I

S13 Mains low (Batt) No degrade CAT II CAT I
S14 Loss of monitor-redundancy (Disagr) No degrade CAT II CAT I
S15 Primary parameter warning (Param) No degrade CAT II CAT I

Table 8-5 Glide Path downgrade criteria

The straps are OR’ed in such a way that it is sufficient if one of the criteria for a downgrade is
present to cause a runway downgrade. If, for instance, a LLZ primary warning (S7) is selected
to cause degradation to CAT I, such an event will cause the runway to be downgraded to
CAT I, regardless of the other settings.

8.2.7.5 Far Field Monitor

FFM Warning and FFM Alarm are derived directly from the input signals from the Far Field
Monitor (if applicable), after being buffered at the FFM Control unit. The FFM signals are
relayed via RS232 connections from the FFM Recording Unit at one of the runway shelters.

The FFM Normal signal is just the FFM Alarm signal inverted.

On transition from FFM Normal to FFM Alarm, a control signal for an alarm buzzer is set. The
buzzer is reset by a reset signal or transition to Normal. The reset signal has a filter to prevent
short pulses generated by cable crosstalk from resetting the buzzer.

Both FFM Warning and FFM Alarm may be set to cause a downgrade of the equipment, either
to CAT II or CAT I.

8.2.7.6 Installation

The installation of this system is explained briefly in the previous chapters. There are, how-
ever, some details that should be clarified.

The basic installation is as follows:

Motherboard MB 1509A must be installed close to the Localizer and GP remote controls in the
equipment room, preferably in the same cabinet RFA 1353.

A flatcable must be used to connect the Localizer Remote Control (via connector P3 on its MB
1346A) to connector P2 on MB 1509A.

A flatcable must be used to connect the Glide Path Remote Control (via connector P3 on its
MB 1346A) to connector P3 on MB 1509A.

A flatcable must be used to connect the FFM/Aux-signals from Localizer Remote Control (via

connector P6 on its MB 1346A) to connector P4 on MB 1509A.

Power must be connected from connector P5 on the nearest MB 1346A to connector P6 on


MB 1509A. Use a 1:1 connection.

Insert CF 1510A into MB 1509A after configuring strap fields as desired (see chapter 8.1.4).

Connect CP 1511A to CF 1510A with a flat cable for showing CAT-status in the equipment
room.

If desired, connect to CP 1511A in tower (or elsewhere) with a 1:1 cable from connector P7 on
MB 1509A.

After doing this, the installation procedures in either Chapter 8.2.7.6.1 or chapter 8.2.7.6.2
must be used, depending on the airport configuration.

8.2.7.6.1 One runway end without an interlock system:

If the Cat-Status system is used with an ILS that is not configured for interlock the following
must be done in order for the system to work.

Both the LLZ and GP must be configured for NOT INTERLOCK. (This is set with strap 1 on
the ILS configuration platform U6 on TCA 1218 and has most likely been done at the ILS
installation. Please refer to the relevant chapter in the Installation section) .

Strap P8 must be set for both the LLZ and GP remote Controls.

Strap P2 must be set for the CP 1511A located in the tower (if applicable).

In the rare case when there is no CP 1511A, or similar slave panel, in the tower, then the inter-
lock signal must be grounded. This may be done by grounding pin 23 on connector P7 on the
MB 1509A Motherboard, e.g. by connecting pin 23 (interlock) and pin 1 or 13 (GND) on a con-
nector mating P7 of MB 1509A.

8.2.7.6.2 Two runways with an interlock switch :

If the Cat-Status system is used with an ILS that is configured for interlock the following must
be done in order for the s to work.

Both the LLZ and GP must be configured for INTERLOCK. (This is set with strap 1 on the ILS
configuration platform U6 on TCA 1218 and has most likely been done at the ILS installation.
Please refer to the relevant chapter in the Installation section) .

Strap P8 must NOT be set for the LLZ and GP remote Controls.

Strap P2 must NOT be set for the CP 1511A located in the tower (if applicable). The interlock
switch shall be used to select/deselect the ILS depending on which runway is in use.

Note! The interlock switch is normally connected to the Remote Control Motherboards MB 1346A for
both the LLZ and GP. In installations with the Cat-Status system the interlock switch shall
instead be connected to P2 on the CP1511A located in tower (if installed) or, alternatively, con-
nected to pin 23 (interlock) and pin 1 or 13 (GND) on P7 of MB 1509A.

8.2.8 Meter Panel (Optional)

8.2.8.1 MP 1574A Meter Panel

General description

The MP 1574A Meter Panel contains two elapsed time counters counting the time that the
LLZ equipment and the GP equipment have been transmitting (on the air/Normal). The Meter
Panel is a 3U panel size module to be installed in the Remote Control subrack next to the
Remote Control Panels controlling the ILS equipment to be monitored.

The time counted will be used for gathering information of true operational time (and MTBO)
for the ILS equipment. Elapsed time is stored in the counters at power off and will continue
counting at power up and Normal situation.

Note: That in case the ILS equipment is configured for alternate Remote Control indication of trans-
mitter status in Service mode of operation, Table 7-4, the time counters will also count the time
the equipment is transmitting in Normal in Service mode.

8.2.8.2 Detailed description

Control signal (Normal signal) and power supply is taken from the MB 1346 Remote Control
Motherboards (P7 and P5). As long as the remote control is showing green Normal indication,
the counter will count the operating time. Elapsed time is stored in the counters at power off
and will continue counting at power up and Normal situation, but it is also possible to reset the
time by connecting the reset pin (pin 4) on the time counter module to +27V (i.e. pin 1 on the
module). This might be relevant if the Meter Panel is moved to a new ILS Remote Control, but
is not a feature that is normally used.

Appendix B. Far Field Monitor

This chapter only applies to Localizer installations with the Far Field Monitor option installed.

B.1 System Description

B.1.1 Functional Description

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 1391) for each of the two main monitors. The FI 1392 is
located on the wall-mounted part of the cabinet (above connection interface CI 1210 inside
the cabinet), while the FC 1391 cards are placed next to their corresponding monitor MO
1212.

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

B.1.2 Detailed Description FC1391

General Description

The FC 1391 is a FFM controller that interacts with the connected FFM through serial mes-
sages. The FFM parameter values are extracted from the received FFM messages. The val-
ues are compared against alarm limits and the alarm status is then delayed according to the
specified FFM alarm delay. After this the parameter values and status are sent to the corre-
sponding monitor through use of the external channels on MO 1212. A common FFM alarm
status is sent as a parameter value to the MO 1212, which generates alarm to the station con-
trol on TC 1216 if the FFM is in alarm state.

IO_bus The RMS IO-bus used for read/write to connect boards.

Access levels RMS Access level as decided by the station control.

FFM status FFM alarm and warning status indications.

Block Description

CPU SYST

Consists of a CPU system and controls all the functionality in the FFM controller. The CPU
SYST decodes messages from the FFM, sends parameter values etc. to the EXT IF and
(upon request) to the RMS IF. The status of the FFM controller is displayed on status LED’s
and on an optional LCD/keyboard (if connected). Alarm and warning status indications are
also sent to the remote control through the AUX channels on the remote control interface.
Under normal operation, the LCD and keyboard will not be used. The CPU system will also
generate an "alive" signal to the FFM interface FI 1392. This signal is used to determine which
of the FC 1391 that shall be allowed to send commands, when two FC 1391's are connected
to the same FFM.

CONFIG

Is a strap field readable by the CPU SYST for selecting the appropriate setup of the communi-
cation with the FFM.

EXT IF

Is the part of the NMP125A FPGA that interfaces to the external bus on the corresponding MO
1212 for this FC 1391. This function is implemented as write registers that are filled with the
appropriate FFM parameter values.

RMS IF

Is the part of the NMP125A FPGA that interfaces to the RMS through the IO-bus. It is imple-
mented as read/write registers with software handshaking between the RMA 1215 and the FC
1391.

STATUS LEDS

Is showing the operating status of the FFM controller. The four LED's has the following func-
tions:

LED 1: On when there is no FFM alarm, off when there is one or more alarms.

LED 2: On when there is no FFM warnings, off when there is one or more
warnings.

LED 3: Blinks when a byte in a command is transmitted to the FFM, normally


every 3. second when using the NORMARC 3634 FFM receiver.

• Port: Select the serial port on the PC that the connection shall use. The available
options are COM1 - COM16, plus SIM. Select SIM to connect to a simple ILS
simulator instead of an actual ILS. See the simulator description chapter for more
information
• 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.
Direct connection is the default connects method
• Phone number: Type the phone number for the connection. This field is valid only for
Dial up connections
• Modem: Select the modem in the dropdown list that matches the actual modem
used. This affects the modem init strings that will be used for the connection types
(dial up or leased line). The user may also edit the modem settings by clicking the
Edit button
• 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

D.3.2 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).

Overview of Windows RMM NORMARC 7000B ILS


IMAPPD/Rev.8/29-Nov-07
Page 4 of 54 © 2007 Park Air Systems AS
Commercial – in – Confidence

The top panel of the ILS Logon window displays dialling/connection progress, and when the
connection has been established it shows which to port on the ILS the user is connected, 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).
Refer to the Access levels chapter for related information.
For information about logging on the simulator see the Built-in Simulator chapter.

D.3.3 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
Level 1 1 Readout 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
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 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 that to logon at access level 2 or higher, straps on the TCA board must be set to enable
this. Refer to the NORMARC 7000B Instruction Manual for more information about this.

D.3.3.1 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 to 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 operation 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
(this will normally be Microsoft Internet Explorer) when the user clicks the OK button. The
user can print or save the report from the Web-browser.

D.3.4 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.3.4.1 Unit for DDM values


Selects the unit to use for DDM values. 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 and in configuration or historical or continuous data log files is always µA
To change the unit for DDM values on the LCD of the cabinet refer to the System options
section.
D.3.4.2 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.
• High decimal precision: Check this to display values and limits with an extra decimal
• Display all monitor and tx parameters independent of ILS type: 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 LLZ to a
GP)
• Enable alarm limit setting in level 3 from Test DDM window: Check this to display
buttons in the Test DDM window for changing the CL DDM and NF DDM monitor
limits. This option can be enabled for easy access to monitor limit setting during
commissioning 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.3.4.3 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.3.5 Using modems


D.3.5.1 About 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 initialised 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 later in the "Using
modems" chapter.
When the user clicks the Edit button in the "Edit station" window the following window will be
opened:

This window lists the modems for which dial up and leased line initialisation 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. Click the Edit button to change the set up for the currently selected
modem. 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 strings 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
initialise 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.3.5.2.2 Initialising the ILS modem
The ILS modem must be initialised before connecting it to the cabinet. This is done by
connecting it to a standard PC that has communication or terminal software installed (for
example HyperTerminal in Windows).
1 Make sure SW1 position 4 is set to OFF (power off the modem if the switch needs to
be changed)
2 Connect the modem to a PC, and use for example HyperTerminal in Windows to
send the following init string to the modem: ATS0=1&C1&D2&W
3 Check that the modem responds with OK to the init string
4 Power off the modem and set switch SW1 position 4 to ON (this makes the modem
ignore all AT-commands). Connect the modem to the cabinet as described below and
power on the modem
D.3.5.2.3 Connecting the modem to the cabinet.
The modem must be connected to Remote Port 1 or Remote Port 2 on the connection
interface 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, but the modem is set up to ignore this
signal.
D.3.5.2.4 Connecting the modem to the PC
The modem must be connected to a serial port between COM1 and COM16. 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:

Commercial – in - Confidence

1. Connect the modem to a PC, and use for example HyperTerminal in Windows to
send the following init string to the modem: ATS7=40&W
2. Check that the modem responds with OK to the init string.

D.3.5.10.3 Connecting the modem to the cabinet.


The modem must be connected to Remote Port 1 or Remote Port 2 on the connection
interface 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
signal.
D.3.5.10.4 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.

D.3.6 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.

D.3.7 Built-in Simulator


This version of the RMM software has a built-in simulator that allows the user to operate
most functions of the software without being connected to a real ILS.
The simulator simulates only basic RMS functions. It is not guarantied that all operations that
are possible on an ILS will work on the simulator. The simulator does, for example, not
simulate feedback of transmitted ILS signals to the monitors. The measurements and
parameters are preset values, that are not necessarily logical correct. The simulator always
simulates a Two-freq. LLZ, Hot standby TX, w/FFM & Voice.
The simulator is automatically started if the user connects to a station which has "SIM"
selected as its port.
Any user name and password(s) can be used for logging on the Simulator, as the Simulator
does not check these fields. But note that to log on as Master the user name "master" must
be used, and the number of passwords entered determines the access level (as described in
the Access levels chapter).

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.

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 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.
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". This can be changed by the user 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 downloaded medium time or long time data in the database. Note that the changed
data is stored in the database only; it is not uploaded back to the ILS.

D.4.6 Measurement status description


All measurements retrieved from the ILS are tagged with a status code. These codes are
displayed by using special characters and colours, according to the table below.
Code Colour Description
N/A (or # in The measurement is not applicable for the current equipment
Cont. log type or current equipment state (for example some
files) maintenance measurements are not applicable when the
transmitters are turned off).

case) defined warning limits.
W (upper Yellow Delayed warning. Same as raw warning but the measurement
case) has been in this state for longer than the configured delay for
the parameter group.
a (lower Red Raw alarm. The measurement is currently outside the defined
case) alarm limits.
A (upper Red Delayed alarm. Same as raw alarm but the measurement has
case) been in this state for longer than the configured delay for the
parameter group.
****** The RMS subsystem in the ILS is unable to provide the data.
This can be caused by a faulty MO1212 board or an IIC-bus
error in the ILS.
????? The RMM software has no connection to the ILS or the data is
not stored in the database or log file. This will also be displayed
before the RMM software gets an updated monitor or
maintenance data set from the ILS.

D.5 Configuring the ILS


D.5.1 Configuration upload and download
The RMM software can save ILS configuration data to a file on the user's hard disk and
reconfigure the ILS with the saved configuration data when required.
The Configuration download and upload window are opened by selecting the File |
Configuration download and upload menu item. The window is shown below.
Access level 3 is required for using the Upload function. Download can be done at all access
levels.

When the Download or Upload buttons are clicked, first a file selection window will be
shown. The user must select a filename for downloading or uploading configuration data
to/from.

If Upload was clicked the user must also select which boards in the ILS configuration data
should be uploaded for. This is done in the Configuration upload window shown below. When
the OK button is clicked the upload process starts. Uploading may take several minutes.

D.5.2 Monitor settings


D.5.2.1 Monitor limits
The Monitor tab in the Monitor settings windows shows the alarm and warning limits for the
monitor parameters. The list also shows the nominal value for each parameter. The
displayed limit values are relative to the nominal value. There are 32 parameters on each
monitor board. Depending on the monitor board and equipment type (e.g. one/two frequency,
cold/hot standby, etc) some of the parameters will be disabled (i.e. have limits set to OFF)
and not shown in the list. The user can select to display all parameters by enabling the
"Display all monitor and tx parameters independent of ILS type" Preferences option. This
option has been turned on to produce the image of the Monitor settings window below. This
sample is from an ILS without a standby monitor; standby parameter limits are therefore not
shown.
If the limits for a parameter on monitor 1, 2 and for the standby monitor (for hot standby
equipment) are equal, the limits for the parameter will be shown on a single line in the list.

Note: The values shown this window are arbitrary sample values. The complete list and
description of all monitors parameters can be found in Chapter 7.7 in the NORMARC 7000B
Instruction Manual.
D.5.2.1.1 Changing monitor limits
In order to change monitor limits the user must be logged on at access level 3 or as master.
In these access levels the user can click the Edit button to open the Monitor limits edit
window, which is shown below.

Overview of Windows RMM NORMARC 7000B ILS


IMAPPD/Rev.8/29-Nov-07

The title of the window shows the name of the parameter selected for editing. The window
has fields for editing the low and high alarm and warning limits and the nominal value. The
nominal value can be changed only for DDM parameters. The unit (if the parameter has a
defined 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 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.
Note: 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.
Note: 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.
Cancel will close window without sending anything to the ILS.
D.5.2.2 Maintenance limits
The Maintenance tab in the Monitor settings window shows the warning limits for the
maintenance parameters. The parameters are organized in a tree view. The board names
are at the top level. Double click a board name to see the parameters on the board.
The figure below shows the Maintenance tab with the RMS board "expanded". The complete
list and description of all maintenance parameters can be found in Chapter 7.7 in the
NORMARC 7000B Instruction Manual.

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
• "OFF" The limit has been set off, i.e. the measurement will not produce a warning.
• "Invalid" The limits for the parameter has been set to illegal values
• "Fixed" The limits is fixed internally in the ILS
The Edit button is used for changing the limits. Clicking the Edit button will bring up one of
the Maintenance limit Edit window shown below. Access level 3 is required to edit
maintenance limits.
Note: In order to edit digital (non-user) maintenance parameters, the "Display all monitor and
tx parameters independent of ILS type" Preferences option must be enabled. This option
must be enabled first because the user should not normally change these limits.
D.5.2.2.1 Editing non-user maintenance parameter limits
The figure below shows the window used for entering new maintenance limits. The window
has fields for the low limit, the high limit, and the defined unit for the parameter.

The Edit buttons can be clicked to open a window, as shown below, for editing the selected
delay. Editing delays requires access level 3.

Valid input range in this window is 0.4 to 102.3 seconds for executive monitors and 0 to 1023
for maintenance delays. The total changeover-shutdown delay will be two times the
executive monitor delay value. Refer to Chapter 7.7 in the NORMARC 7000B Instruction
Manual for the default values.
The Apply to ... drop down list is used for selecting which monitor to update with the new
values. This field is not shown for maintenance delays.

D.5.2.4 Power scaling (NORMARC 7000A only)


The scaling values in this window should only be changed on racks with the first version of
the PA module (LPA1230A/GPA1231A/GPA1232A version 1). On newer PA modules, the
power reading is pre-adjusted, and the scaling value should be set to 1.0.
The values in this window can be used to adjust the power measurements done on the
transmitters. (The measured values are displayed in the maintenance measurement
window).

Overview of Windows RMM NORMARC 7000B ILS

The scaling values will normally be in the range 0.5-2.0.


These scaling values are stored in the RMS system in the ILS and not on the transmitters.
This means that the values will have to be changed if a PA module is replaced, and restored
if the RMS board is replaced.
D.5.2.5 Integrity test (NORMARC 7000B only)
The Integrity test tab in the Monitor settings window shows the configured delay for the
"Monitor alarm verification delay". 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 Delay Verification" delay shall be set to the total changeover-shutdown time + 1
second (i.e. 2*GEN delay + 1s).

The "Loop phase" tab is used for adjusting digital potentiometers that controls the I and Q
loop delays in the PA. When "Enable test mode" is checked a test mode is activated on the
LF generator that result in the following signals begin fed to the inputs on the amplifier:
• CSB: 3.5 V DC (no modulation signals)
• SBO: 1.5 V DC (no modulation signals) on the I and Q outputs
A test mode that makes the PA operate in open loop mode is activated on the selected PA
(the text "Open loop" in blue colour denotes that this mode on the PA is active).
The "Demodulator meas." frame shows the I and Q demodulator measurements converted to
polar representation. The actual I and Q voltage measurements can be displayed as pop-up

The "Overtemp. turnoff limit" sets the temperature level in degrees Celsius at which the RF
output from the PA will be turned off. The "Overtemp. reset limit" sets the temperature at
which the RF output will be enabled again after the turnoff limit has been exceeded (this
allows the hysteresis to be configured).
Recommended turnoff limit is 110 degrees Celsius. Recommended reset limit is 85 degrees
Celsius.

the amplifier:
• CSB: 3.5 V DC (no modulation signals)
• SBO: 2 V DC (no modulation signals) on either the SBO I or SBO Q outputs
The text "Q off" or "I off" in blue colour denotes that either the Q or I input signals is disabled
by test modes in PA-assembly.

D.5.5 Test DDM (NORMARC 7000A)


The ILS-Settings | Test DDM function is for use when a DDM flight test is performed on the
system. The Test DDM window is shown in the figure below.

The window has the following fields and controls:


• Graphical readout of the current CL DDM and NF DDM measurement, and the low
and high alarm limits
• Buttons for quick access to the monitor alarm/warning configuration dialog (only when
enabled in the Preferences window). Clicking one of these buttons will open the
Monitor limits edit window, which will have the currently measured DDM value
suggested as new alarm limit
• Controls for activating the test signals
• DDM adjustment "sliders" for adjusting dominance levels
• Read only field that shows the position of the "sliders" relative to the CL modulation
balance value (see Transmitter adjustments and settings)
The required access levels for the fields in this dialog is as follows:
• To change monitor limits requires access level 3
• All other settings require access level 2
The test DDM values are unit-less integers in the range 0-4095.

D.5.6 Flight check (NORMARC 7000B)


The Flight check window provides test modes and settings used during flight checks.
The test modes are read only at access level 1; can be activated at level 2 and the test mode
values can be changed at higher access levels.
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.5.6.1 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
flight measurement feedback
• Buttons for inserting a 90° stub into the COU or CLR SBO RF signal paths (calibration of
these 90° stubs is done from the Transmitter settings - Signal adj. when RMM program is
in Factory Mode) (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. Text above
the button indicates whether the 90° stub is inserted or not
• 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.5.6.2 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.5.6.2.1 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
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.5.6.2.2 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.5.6.2.3 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.5.6.2.4 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.

D.5.7 General settings


D.5.7.1 About general settings
The "General settings" window is used for configuring the operation of the RMS subsystem
(board RMA1215) in the ILS. These settings do not affect the executive monitoring of the ILS
signals or the transmitted ILS signals.
D.5.7.2 ILS date and time

D.5.7.6 Port setup


When the user selects "Port setup" in the General settings window the tab shown below is
displayed.

The window displays the currently configured bit rates and init strings. Pressing the Edit
button brings up a dialog where you can change the bit rate and/or the init string for the
selected port. Note that it is no init string for the local port, since a modem is not supported
for this port.
Pressing the Init modem makes the ILS send the modem initiation at the selected port.
If the init-string is left blank or the word "default" is written, the ILS will use a default init-string
that shall work on standard Hayes compatible modems under normal conditions.
Please consult the modem manual for further information about modem commands and
initialisation.
D.5.7.7 Cabinet name
When the user selects "Cabinet name" in the General settings window the tab shown below
is displayed.

The cabinet is displayed in the first row of the LCD panel. It is also used in the RMM system
for identifying the ILS. The cabinet name can only be configured in ILS cabinets with RMS
software version 13 or later.

The Master access level is required for changing the cabinet name.
D.5.7.8 System options
When the user selects "System options" in the General settings window the tab shown below
is displayed.
The user must be logged on as Master to make any changes to these settings.

Note: If any of these options are changed the RMS must be restarted (power the cabinet off
and on).
Note 2: Factory mode must be selected in the File | Preferences window to enable the
hardware configuration options.
The following sections describe each option.

D.5.7.8.1 Hardware configuration

D.5.7.8.1.1 Dual battery installed (NORMARC 7000B only)

Enable this option on racks which 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, BATTERY VOLT 2.

D.5.7.8.1.2 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 alarm/warning limits must manually be set
OFF from the RMM software in factory mode to inhibit generation of NF alarm and warnings.
Use the Preferences window to turn on factory mode.

D.5.7.8.1.3 Tilt sensor installed

This option is to be enabled when the tilt sensor is installed. When enabled, the RMS and
RMM software will display the tilt sensor measurements and limits. Note: This option should
only be used on GP equipment. RMS version 13.3 or later is required to use this feature.

D.5.7.8.2 Voice generator installed


This option is to be enabled when the ILS is equipped with the voice module on the LF
generator boards (NORMARC 7000A) or an external voice generator (NORMARC 7000B). It
is used for enabling voice measurements and options in the RMS and RMM software.

D.5.7.8.2.1 High power GP CLR (NORMARC 7000B only)

Enable this option if COU transmitters (GPA 1581A) are used to generate CLR signals
(normally generated by GPA 1582A). Note: Using GPA 1581A transmitters this way, requires
the 27V supply line for CLR SBO to be disconnected.

D.5.7.8.2.2 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.5.7.8.2.3 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.5.7.8.3 User system options

D.5.7.8.3.1 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 start up
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 looses its access as a
result of Grant/Deny switch change or Local/Remote switch change.

D.5.7.8.3.2 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.5.7.8.3.3 Integrity test failure on Param LED (NORMARC 7000B only)

Enable this option to activate the Param LED if any of the integrity checks fails. When
enabled, any monitor parameter warnings will not activate this LED, instead any monitor
parameter warning will be indicated by the Maint LED. Refer to the handbooks for a
description of the integrity checks performed by the RMS.

D.5.7.8.3.4 uA DDM unit on LCD panel

When enabled, selects µA instead of %DDM as the DDM measurement unit on the LCD.

D.6 Historical data

D.6.1 About historical data

D.6.1.1 Historical data storage in the ILS

The ILS has battery backed RAM in the RMS subsystem (RMA1215) board that is used to
store historical data. Four different types of historical data is 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 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 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, which is followed by a
shutdown
In addition the ILS stores an event list in the battery backed RAM. See Viewing events for
more information about the event list.
The historical data stored in the ILS can be cleared from the LCD menu on the front of the
ILS cabinet. (This should always be done just before a system is set operative).

D.6.1.2 Historical data storage in the RMM software

The RMM software allows the user to download the historical data from the ILS. The different
storage types are saved in the following ways on the PC:
• Medium time and Long time periodic data: When downloaded, this data is stored in a
database on the user's hard disk. Storing the data in a database allows the user to
browse through data measured over a longer period than is stored inside the ILS. The
data can also imported into third party software (for example Microsoft Excel) with the
use of ODBC database access (option)
• Warning and Alarm storage: When downloaded, this data is stored as files on the
users hard disk. Storing the data as files simplifies the task of moving the data from
one computer to another, sending the data as e-mail, etc.
• Event storage: The event list is downloaded and stored in the database each time a
user logs on to an ILS
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.6.2 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.

Overview of Windows RMM NORMARC 7000B ILS


IMAPPD/Rev.8/29-Nov-07
Page 50 of 54 © 2007 Park Air Systems AS
Commercial – in – Confidence

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.6.3 Historical data

The menu item File | Open downloaded data is used to open and view downloaded historical
data. The window shown below is opened when this menu item is selected.

The user must select the type of historical storage to open and the station name (for medium
time and long time periodic data) or filename (for warning and alarm storage).
When the user clicks "Open" the historical data is opened. The main program window will
then change, and become similar to the window below.

NORMARC 7000B ILS Overview of Windows RMM

There are panels placed at the top and the bottom of the program window. The top panel
shows the station name and the station type along with a "Close" button to stop viewing the
historical data. The bottom panel contains browse controls for selecting the currently
displayed data set among the data available in the storage.

Commercial – in – Confidence

The following ILS-Data menu items can be used to view data from the selected historical
storage:
• Monitor
• Maintenance
• Event list (only when viewing medium time periodic or long time periodic historical
data)
• Diagnostics
When viewing alarm storage data, the bottom panel will also have a drop-down list for
selecting the alarm storage to be browsed. Also shown is a text field that shows the result of
the automatically performed diagnose result for the selected alarm storage.

D.6.4 Continuous logging

The RMM program can be used to save the monitor and maintenance measurements that is
currently being received from an ILS directly to a file. This function is referred to as
"Continuous logging".
Continuous logging should not be confused with historical data stored in the ILS. The
following points describe the major differences:
• 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 complete 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 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.7 Fault diagnostics

D.7.1 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.7.2 Current data diagnostics

Current data diagnostics is invoked by selecting the menu item ILS-Data|Diagnostics. Based
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 detailed description of
the algorithm used to isolate faults.

D.7.3 Alarm diagnostics

This diagnostic function are 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.

Commercial – in - Confidence

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.
