SECTION I
GENERAL INFORMATION

1.1 INTRODUCTION

This manual contains information relative to the physical, mechanical and electrical characteristics of the
Aeroflex Model T1201 Discrete Function Interface Unit, (DFIU) PN: 01-1201-00.

1.2 UNITS AND ACCESSORIES SUPPLIED

Th T1201 DFIU is designed to operate and test ARINC 700 Series ILS (ARINC 710), VOR/MB (ARINC 711) and
ADF (ARINC 712) Line Replaceable Units. Power control and protection, as well as all necessary discretes and
monitoring points are provided. Magnetic overlays for each applicable LRU are available which connect either
the ILS, VOR, or ADF receivers to the T1202. ARINC 429 transmissions and reception to and from the LRU’s is
provided by the companion T1200 Control Display Unit (CDU) via a rear panel interface connector. The T1201
DFIU also provides an ATE interface port and a special Collins Radio Interface similar to RS-232. A self-
contained Antenna Simulator provides the sense and loop signals required for testing ADF receivers.

SECTION II
OPERATION

2.1 GENERAL INFORMATION

This section contains information relating to the unpacking, inspection and setup of the T1201 DFIU accessories.

2.2 UNPACKING AND INSPECTION EQUIPMENT

Carefully remove the T1201 DFIU and accessories from the packing box. Make a visual inspection of the unit for
evidence of damage incurred during shipment. If a claim for damage is to be made, save the shipping container
to substantiate the claim. When all equipment has been unpacked, return the packing material to the container
for future use in storing or shipping the equipment.

2.3 EQUIPMENT SETUP

The T1201 DFIU may be installed free standing on a workbench table top or mounted in a 19-inch equipment
rack using the integral rack mounting ears.

Connect 28VDC power to the banana jack/binding posts (J16) at the rear of the T1201.

Connect 115VAC/400Hz power to the receptacle (J5) at the rear of the T1201 using the power cord
JPN: 55-2406-00, provided with the test set.

* * * NOTE * * *
The power cord provided is left unterminated at one end to accommodate wiring to your own particular 115VAC
supply. The wires should be connected as follows :

BLK Wire – 115VAC-400Hz Hot

WHT Wire – 115VAC/400Hz Neutral
GRN Wire – 115VAC/400Hz Ground

Connect a T1200 CDU to the T1200 Interface connector (J4) at the rear of the T1201 using the T1200 DFIU
Cable, PN: 55-2401-00, supplied with the T1200.

The LRU is connected to the T1201 via the T1201-01 (VOR/MB), T1201-02 (ILS) or T1201-03 (ADF) Interface
Cable, PN: 55-1202-01, -02,or –03, respectively. Install the appropriate magnetic test point overlay (see section
1.5) to the T1201’s test point field on the front panel

IMPORTANT
Refer to the appropriate Component Maintenance Manual (CMM) to test procedure for additional test equipment
set up procedures.
