GENERAL INFORMATION

1.1 INTRODUCTION
This manual provides operational procedures, calibration procedures and maintenance information for the
Aeroflex Model 429EB - ARINC 429 Transmitter/Receiver.

1.2 EQUIPMENT DESCRIPTION

The 429EB provides avionics and line maintenance personnel with a convenient, easy to use tool for testing and
troubleshooting ARINC 429 avionic systems. The 429EB has unique label definitions designed to facilitate the
testing of the Generic Airborne Vibration Monitor (AVM) and the Fuel Quantity Indicating System (FQIS) found
on Boeing aircraft as listed in Table 1-1 (also see Appendix A for specific labels used).

Table 1-1: Boeing Aircraft/Sub-System Applicability

The unit has the capability to transmit up to 10 ARINC 429 labels simultaneously in either Lo (12.5KHz) or
Hi Speed (100KHz) from a single transmit port. It can receive and store up to 255 labels.

Special receiver functions include the ability to trap up to 255 words (511 words without label or rate information
in the DATA ONLY TRAP Mode). Additionally, the FILTER Mode allows the user to examine only the particular
data that matches a predetermined label and bit pattern selected by the operator.

The 429EB is housed in a rugged, compact case with internal, rechargeable NiCad batteries for portable
operation. The data is out put via an LCD, Liquid Crystal Display. Selection of data to be transmitted or display
of data received, can be in either hexadecimal or engineering format.

Engineering format allows data display using easy-to-understand terminology (miles, degrees etc.) with
individual screens for display of word rate. SSM, SDI screens are provided for access to individual label bit
positions for frequency or bit management. Hex format is broken down into an 8 bit label field in Octal, bits 32
through 9 in Hex, and a Binary display of SDI (Source Destination Identifier) and SSM (Sign Status Matrix).

SECTION II
INSTALLATION

2.1 GENERAL INFORMATION

This section contains information relating to the unpacking and inspection of the unit. Also included is
information concerning charging of the internal batteries and an explanation of the Unit Self Test routine.

2.2 UNPACKING AND INSPECTING EQUIPMENT

Carefully remove the 429EB and accessories from the packing box. Visually inspect the units for any
damage incurred during shipment. Should there be damage, save the packing box to show the shipping
company when submitting your claim. It is generally a good idea to save the packing box should it
become necessary to store or ship the unit.

2.3 EQUIPMENT INSTALLATION

2.3.1 BATTERY CHARGING

The batteries were fully charged when the unit was shipped from the factory. However, if the unit has
been stored for an extended period of time, the batteries may have become discharged. Plug the charger
into an appropriate voltage outlet (U.S. as well as international voltage chargers are available). A 4 to 5
hour charge should refresh the batteries. The 429EB may be operated while charging or with the charger
disconnected. With fully charged batteries, the unit will operate for approximately three to six hours.

*** CAUTION ***

To avoid possible damage to the battery charger, it is recommended that you do NOT have the charger
connected to the wall outlet when connecting or disconnecting the charging plug to the 429EB.

2.3.2 CONNECTION TO USER EQUIPMENT

Connect the 429EB TX output jack to the input of the UUT and the 429EB RX jack to the output of the
UUT using 3-conductor 1/4 inch phone plugs (see par. 1.4).

2.4 POST INSTALLATION CHECK

2.4.1 UNIT SELF-TEST

The 429EB performs a self-test routine on initial power up. The following tests are performed:

1. Red LED's on the front of the unit will be lit for approximately 0.5 seconds each in the following
order: EVEN and ODD Parity, TX and RX. For the remainder of the self-test, unless an error
condition exists, the LED's are extinguished. If one of the LED's fails to light, the unit should still
function properly, but the LED should be replaced at the earliest opportunity.

2. The EPROM is checked by summing all the memory locations and comparing the result to the
know checksum. If the checksums do not match, the unit will signal a checksum error by flashing
the RX LED and will attempt to write CHECKSUM ERROR to the display. If the entire EPROM
has failed, however, or one of the locations in the checksum subroutine is bad, the program will
not be able to execute properly.

429EB – Rev. 0 – November 10, 2006 – Page 2-1

 Aeroflex Operation Manual

3. The 429EB has RAM in two independent IC's. The unit tests each RAM section separately for
data retention and address integrity. It begins by writing the lower 8 bits of the location address
to the location. It completely writes to all the locations of the section. It will then read each
location and check it's value. If all is OK, it will then repeat this sequence with the exception that
it will write the complement of the lower 8 bits of the location address to the location. It performs
this sequence for each RAM section.

If the first IC fails this test, the unit will flash the EVEN parity LED and attempt to write NSC RAM
ERR to the display. This indicates that U5 has failed its test. If the second IC fails this test, the
unit will flash the ODD parity LED and at tempt to write 6116 RAM ERR to the display. This
indicates that U3 has failed its test. The unit will then loop indefinitely reading from the failed
location.

4. The 429EB has a loop back feature on the digital board to completely test the digital portion of
the transmit and receive circuitry. The unit will turn on the loop back circuitry and transmit a word
with a label of 000 and a data pattern of AA55AA. After a brief pause, the unit will read its receive
buffer and check the data against the transmitted data. If the data is not what is expected, the
unit will flash the TX LED and attempt to write LOOP BACK FAILED to the display. No further
operations will be possible until the cause of the failure is corrected.

NOTE

The Loop test and Ram tests are not performed if the unit Trap mode is active.

If all tests have been successfully completed, the unit will display SELF TEST OK for
approximately 2 seconds and then will enter the operational receive mode and display the
number of different labels currently being received.

 Aeroflex Operation Manual

SECTION III
OPERATION

3.1 GENERAL OPERATION DESCRIPTION

The Aeroflex 429EB is a single channel ARINC 429 transmitter and receiver. It can receive
and display all ARINC 429 labels (001 - 377). It can simultaneously output up to ten 429 words. Data
can be displayed and entered in either hexadecimal or engineering formats.

The transmitter and receiver can operate at either 100kbps (High Speed) or 12.5 kbps (Low Speed).
Each mode's speed can be set independently of the other. The parity of the words being transmitted can
be set for either ODD or EVEN parity. An LED indicator will show the parity selected for transmitted
words (if in the TX mode) or the parity of the currently displayed received word (if in the RX mode).

To minimize battery drain, the 429EB has the capability to sense when there has been no activity
(Keypad, TX, RX) for at least 5 minutes. When this happens, the 429EB will shut down some of it's
circuitry and go to "Sleep". In this state, the 429EB is fully functional, but it is in a low current drain wait
state. The LCD screen will blank, but either the TX or RX LED will be lit. Any keypad or RX activity will
reawaken the 429EB to its normal operational mode.

3.1.1 HEX MODE

The HEX mode allows entry and display of bits 32 - 9 of the 429 word in hexadecimal format. The
characters represent bits 32 through 9, starting with bit 32 (MSB) of the 32 bit word in six 4-bit nibbles.
Each 4- bit nibble is derived from the BCD equivalent of the binary value. For example:

Data field in binary - 1001 0010 1111 0001 1010 0101

Equivalent hex value - 9 2 F 1 A 5

The display is structured as follows (reading left to right): The LABEL (bits 1 -8) will be displayed in octal,
followed by the SDI (bits 10 - 9) in binary, followed by the DATA field (bits 32 - 9 in six 4-bit nibbles) in
hex. On the far right of the display will be the SSM (bits 31 - 30) in binary. The only other screen
possible in DATA mode (while in HEX) is the RATE screen, which provides the word repetition time in
milliseconds.

3.1.2 ENGINEERING MODE

The ENG mode allows data entry and display in engineering unit formats (Feet, Knots, MHz, etc.). The
label definition will determine the number of screens required for display of all possible fields of the word.

3.1.3 TRANSMIT & RECEIVE MODES

There are two distinct display modes of operation; TX (Transmit) and RX (Receive). Selection of these
modes and all other display operations are accomplished by keypad or slide switch entry as described in
the following sections.

3.1.3.1 TX MODE
The transmitter is capable of outputting up to ten 32-bit words in ARINC 429 or 419 bipolar RZ (Return to
Zero) format. The word rate for each of the ten can be set independently. The word rate can be as fast
as 4 msec or as slow as 59998 msec, or left to the default value as defined as the minimum word rate in
the ARINC 429-9 specifications. The transmitter automatically insures at least a 4 bit time (Low Speed)
separation between adjacent words.

429EB – Rev. 0 – November 10, 2006 - Page 3-1

 Aeroflex Operation Manual

The word output sequence can be synchronized under certain circumstances as described under the
ENT (Enter) Key description in the following section. The data for each individual word is easily modified.
There is a unique screen for most individual fields of the 429 word. Some words will have more screens
than others.

3.1.3.2 RX MODE
The receiver has the capability of receiving and storing up to 255 (511 in DATA ONLY mode) high or low
speed 32 bit words in ARINC 429 or 419 RZ (Return to Zero) format. There are three mutually exclusive
receiver modes of operation; NORMAL, FILTER and TRAP. Each mode has a screen that shows the
count of words received, the label and description, or the data field currently selected.

3.1.3.2.1 NORMAL Mode

NORMAL mode (default) is a dynamic mode that displays all unique labels received. In this mode, the
screen is updated 4 times per second with the latest data received.

3.1.3.2.2 FILTER Mode

FILTER mode is identical to normal mode with the exception that words received may be filtered to only
have those words which meet certain label/bit patterns, to be displayed. Words may be filtered in 1 of 4
combinations: All Labels/All SDI, Specific Label/All SDI, All Labels/Specific SDI, and Specific
Label/Specific SDI (this does not include Label 241). Any words that do not meet the filter parameters will
be discarded.

3.1.3.2.3 TRAP Mode

The third and most powerful RX mode is the TRAP mode. This is a static mode of operation which
captures and stores the data for detailed analysis. Words are received and stored in the trap buffer in
their order of occurrence. They will remain in the buffer until the trap mode is turned off, even if the unit
power is turned off. In normal TRAP mode, up to 255 unique words may be stored. In this mode the time
that has elapsed since the previous word is stored as the rate. In DATA ONLY TRAP mode, up to 511
words (must be the same label) are stored. The rate is invalid in this mode of operation. The data
"Trapped" will remain valid until the TRAP key is pressed again, even if the unit is turned off. Once the
trap buffer is full, all subsequent received 429 words will be ignored.

3.2 CONTROL FUNCTIONS

3.2.1 CONTROLS AND INDICATORS (Figure 3-1)

(1) TRAP Mode Key IN RX MODE. ON/OFF control for the TRAP mode.
Pressing the ENT key for any of the prompted
parameters will cause a DON'T CARE to be used for
that parameter. Data is automatically protected if unit is
powered off when TRAP is on.

NON-VOLATILE TRAP MODE MEMORY. The 429EB

has the capability of providing nonvolatile storage of data
accessed during TRAP mode. Rather than losing all of
the information stored in TRAP mode following power
off, the 429EB will retain the stored data in non-volatile
RAM. Retention of the stored data in TRAP mode
simply requires the operator to turn power off, while in
TRAP MODE. Any data that was present in the buffers
at the time the unit is turned off will be retained. When
the unit is turned back ON, the operator can scroll

429EB – Rev. 0 – November 10, 2006 - Page 3-2

 Aeroflex Operation Manual

through the retained data by pressing either the AUTO

or UP/DOWN keys. In order to clear the memory, press
the TRAP key.

CAUTION

As stated above, pressing the TRAP key after turning

the unit back on will erase the memory contents. Press
the TRAP key only when you wish to clear the memory.

Turning the unit OFF and then rapidly back ON may

cause power transients which may effect the non-volatile
memory storage. It is recommended that a minimum
interval of 5-15 seconds be observed between power
OFF and power ON.

(2) AUTO Mode Key IN RX MODE. ON/OFF key for AUTO scrolling mode.
Allows the operator to scroll through labels that have
been received by TRAP mode. If in the LABEL mode,
steps automatically through the word buffer and displays
the number of trapped words as well as the engineering
name of the label. If in the DATA mode, the AUTO
mode steps to the same data menu for the next trapped
word. Scroll keys will allow scanning direction to be
selected.

IN EDIT MODE. Allows the hexadecimal value "C" to be

entered.

(3) TX Parity Switch Allows operator to select ODD or EVEN transmit word
parity.

(4) TX SPEED Switch Allows operator to select HI (100 kbps) or LO (12.5

kbps) speed transmit bit rate.

(5) TX Output Jack Allows access to transmitter port using standard 3-

conductor, 1/4" phone plug.

(6) RX Input Jack Allows access to receiver port using standard 3-

conductor, 1/4" phone plug.

(7) ARROW (Scroll) Keys Allows operator to scroll through display menus (10
transmitter slots, up to 511 receiver slots, or data
menus). Allows selection of the scanning direction in
AUTO mode. If editing data of an ISO Alpha label (356
or 357), the SCROLL keys will allow selection of the
Alpha character to be entered (SCROLL to the desired
character and press ENT to select a character).

(8) TX/RX Indicator LED indicates that the system is in either the transmit
(TX) or receive (RX) mode of operation for display and
entry of data.

(9) PARITY Indicator IN RX MODE. LED Indicates parity (ODD or EVEN) of

word presently displayed.

IN TX MODE. LED Indicates selected transmit parity.

manual stepping through transmitter or receiver slots.
TX/RX LED indicators above display will indicate current
mode of operation.

(12) RX SPEED Switch Allows operator to select HI (100 kbps) or LO (12.5

kbps) speed receiver bit rate.

(13) DATA ENTRY Keys Allows operator to enter various data in hexadecimal or
engineering formats.

Keys 0 - 9 and the "." and "-" keys are valid while in
ENG mode. Keys 0 - F are valid while in HEX mode.
Hex mode will be forced regardless of switch position if
the label is currently undefined by ARINC 429-9
Attachment 2 specifications or is a label not supported in
ENG mode (Discrete data, Maintenance Data, etc.).

Keys 0 - 7 are valid for LABEL entry since all labels are
entered in octal format.

The 0 and 1 keys allow the turning OFF and ON,

respectively, of discrete bit screens (SDI, SSM, RF
management labels, frequency discretes and individual
bits, etc.) and turning various modes OFF and ON.

(14) LAB/DAT Key Allows operator to select either LABEL mode or DATA
mode of display. LABEL mode displays octal number
and engineering definition of labels being transmitted or
received. DATA mode allows viewing of data of the
currently selected label being transmitted or received.

(15) EDIT/DEL Key Allows operator access to the data entry mode. If in the
data entry mode, the DEL (Delete) key allows correction
of errors during data entry.

(16) ON/OFF Key Turns unit ON and OFF.

(17) ENT Key DATA ENTRY MODE. Completes an entry sequence if

in the data entry mode. Until the ENT key is pressed, an
entry may be edited with the DEL key. If an entry is not
allowed for some reason (out of range, illegal key), the
old data will be retained.

TX WORD ORDER SYNCHRONIZATION. If not in the

data entry mode and the transmitter is active, pressing
the ENT key will reset the counters of each active label
to their initial value. This allows the TX labels to be
synchronized in their output order if all have the same

429EB – Rev. 0 – November 10, 2006 - Page 3-4

word rate. They will be sent out in descending TX block

order (10 through 1). For example, you want to simulate
an LRU that transmits 6 labels in bursts of 100 msec
apart. You would enter the first label in the group in TX
block 10 with a word rate of 100. The second label
would go in TX block 9 with a word rate of 100. This
would continue for the remaining labels, with the last
label of the group being entered in TX block 5. Once all
the data has been entered and you are ready to
synchronize the labels, the ENT key should be pressed.
There will be no visible indication that anything has
occurred, but the words will have been synchronized and
are being transmitted in bursts of 6, 100 msec apart. If
any data is changed later, the ENT key should be
pressed again to resynchronize the words.

(18) Battery Charging Jack Allows the internal AA NiCad batteries to be charged by
connecting to the battery charger furnished with the
429EB.

(19) Filter Key The FILTER MODE has the capability to display only
those particular ARINC 429 words on the receiver input
bus that the user wishes to examine. Any superfluous
words that are present on the bus are "filtered out" to
unclutter the displayed receiver data. The user can
chose any one particular label or all labels and either
any one particular SDI or all SDI's in this mode. To
access this feature, the 429EB must first be set to the
RX mode. Once in receiver mode, press the "F/FILT"
key on the keyboard, which will place the unit in the
FILTER mode. The 429EB will display the prompt
"LABEL?", at which time the user will enter the desired
three digit octal label via the keyboard and press
ENTER. Should the user wish to receive and display all
labels, simply press the enter key and the display will
advance to the prompt "SDI?". At the SDI? prompt,
enter the desired two digit binary SDI number and press
the ENTER key. If all SDI's are desired, at the SDI?
prompt, press the ENTER key again. The unit will now
receive and display only the ARINC 429 words that
correspond to the label and SDI combinations previously
entered.

(20) D.O. Key IN EDIT MODE. While in the EDIT mode, this key
allows the hexadecimal value "D" to be entered.

IN RX MODE. Pressing this key when trap mode is first

activated (before entering the Trap Label) will activate
the DATA ONLY trap mode. This mode expands the
trap capacity to 511 words, however, no label or rate
information is stored. This means that the user must
enter a trap label when prompted. This mode will be
cleared when trap mode is turned off.

(21) Display Contrast Adj. Allows adjustment of the liquid crystal display for desired
viewing angle.

SECTION IV
THEORY OF OPERATION

4.1 GENERAL CIRCUIT THEORY

The Aeroflex Model 429EB, ARINC 429 single channel transmitter and receiver, consists of three board
level subassemblies and a battery pack. The three boards are; 1) Analog Board, JPN: 20-6783-00, 2)
Display Board, JPN: 20-6782-20 and 3) Digital Board, JPN: 20-6784-20.

4.1.1 ANALOG BOARD

The Analog board contains the analog circuitry for the 429EB. This circuitry has three major sections; 1)
Power Circuits, 2) 429 Receiver and 3) 429 Driver.

4.1.1.1 Power Circuits

The Power circuits supply power to the system from one of two sources. If the battery charger is
disconnected, the circuits supply power to the system from the battery pack. The battery voltage is
monitored by the power circuits. Should the voltage drop to an in sufficient level, it is the power circuits
that will indicate this to the Control circuits. An indication of low power will be seen on the display board
should the aforementioned conditions exist. If the charger is connected, the power circuits will supply
power to the system from the charger and will also trickle charge the NiCad batteries. The power circuits
consist of the following components:

1) Low Drop Out Regulator (U5)

2) Voltage converter (U6)
3) Monitor (U7)

4.1.1.2 429 Receiver

The 429 Receiver circuits convert ARINC 429 RZ transmitted signals from 10V levels (line A to B) to TTL
level signals for use by the 429 Receiver Buffer on the Digital board. The 429 receiver circuits consist of
a Comparator (U4) and a number of discrete components.

4.1.1.3 429 Driver

The 429 driver circuits convert the TTL level signal from the digital board into 10V (line A to B) ARINC 429
compatible signal levels. The 429 Driver circuits consist of the following components:

1) "1" Driver (U2, Q1, Q2)

2) "0" Driver (U3, Q3, Q4)
3) Speed Switch (U1)

4.1.2 DISPLAY BOARD

The Display board performs the human interface function for the 429EB. It has three major sections of
circuitry; 1) Display circuits, 2) Keypad circuits and 3) Slide Switch circuits.

4.1.2.1 Display Circuits

The Display circuits output data in visual form. The display circuit consists of the liquid crystal display
(DS1).

429EB – Rev. 0 – November 10, 2006 - Page 4-1

 Aeroflex Operation Manual

4.1.2.2 Keypad Circuits

The Keypad switches allow data to be input to the unit. The keypad circuits consist of 23 momentary
contact switches (S1 - S23). The switches are arranged in an X/Y matrix and are decoded by the
firmware on the digital board.

4.1.2.3 Slide Switch Circuits

The slide switches allow various I/O information (Parity, TX Baud, etc.) to be changed and to turn the unit
ON and OFF. The slide switch circuits consist of 5 SPST slide switches (S24 - S28) and various discrete
components (resistors, transistors & capacitors).

4.1.3 DIGITAL BOARD

The Digital board contains the digital circuitry for the 429EB. This circuitry has three major sections; 1)
Control circuits, 2) 429 Receive Buffer and 3) 429 Generator.

4.1.3.1 Control Circuits

The Control circuits are the "Heart" of the system that controls and monitors all other circuits in the
system. The control circuits consist of the following components:

1) Microcontroller (U1)
2) Firmware EPROM (U2)
3) RAM (U3)
4) Address Latch (U4)
5) RAM IO (U5)

The control circuits monitor the number of "bits" received and upon completion, will read the receive
buffer.

4.1.3.2 429 Receive Buffer

The 429 Receive Buffer stores the 429 bit stream data (converted to TTL levels by the Analog board).
The following components make up the 429 Receive Buffer:

1) Bit Latch (1/2 U8)

2) Serial Register (1/2 U6)
3) Mux (U14)

4.1.3.3 429 Generator Circuits

The 429 Generator circuits send TTL level bit stream data to the Analog board, where it is converted to
the correct levels for output. The Generator is loaded and started by the Control circuits. The 429
Generator consists of the following components:

1) Digital drivers (U9)

2) Serial Register (1/2 U6)
3) Baud Clock/Bit Counter (U5)
4) Driver Enable (1/2 U8)
