Page 1-2 GTX 330/GTX 330D Installation ManualRevision R 190-00207-02The GTX 330 is configured with all key controls. The layout of the front panel keys and displayssegregates the transponder’s primary functions from the secondary functions. The unit can be configuredso the aircraft avionics master bus can turn the unit on.Provision is made for unit software upgrade by means of RS-232 data through rear connector pins. Theinstallation of an optional connector is highly recommended. If the optional connector is placed in theaircraft, transponder removal and reinstallation for software upgrade is not required. The software can bechanged while the unit is still mounted inside the aircraft.1.3 ADS-B CapabilitiesAutomatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast (ADS-B) technology improves situational awareness andflight safety. With ADS-B capabilities, position, velocity, and heading information are automaticallytransmitted to other aircraft and ground stations. The current air traffic control system depends on atransponder request for pertinent aircraft information. ADS-B provides automatic transmission of aircraftinformation without a request.NOTERS-232 ADS-B Out from a Garmin 430/530 WAAS or a GPS WAAS source thatsupports ARINC 743A output is required to support ADS-B transmissions.1.4 TIS System CapabilitiesThe GTX 330 also provides uplink information such as Traffic Information Service (TIS). TIS is aground-based service providing relative location of all ATCRBS Mode A and Mode C transponderequipped aircraft within a specified service volume. The TIS ground sensor uses real time track reports togenerate traffic notification. TIS provides a graphic display of traffic advisory information in the cockpitfor non-TCAS equipped aircraft.Advisory traffic information is available to aircraft equipped with a Mode S data link such as the GarminGTX 330 transponder. Advisory traffic information may be displayed on a Garmin 400/500 Series unit.The GTX 330 unit can also be incorporated in installations with other compatible control/display unitssuch as the Garmin GNS 480 (CNX80) and GMX 200 (MX20) Multifunction Display (MFD).Surveillance data includes all transponder equipped aircraft within the coverage volume. Aircraft withoutan operating transponder are invisible to TIS. TIS displays traffic within seven nautical miles from 3000feet below to 3500 feet above the requesting aircraft. The pilot sees the location, relative direction andaltitude of other aircraft.
