MAINTENANCE MANUAL
TPL-100A Processor / Part No. 940-0530-001
Use or disclosure of information on this page is subject to the restrictions in the proprietary notice of this document.
E. System Maintainability
The MILACAS-FR Processor and the other components of the MILACAS-FR system have 
built-in tests (BIT) to fully monitor and report the operations and status of the system. 
There are two different methods to start and observe functional self-test of the 
MILACAS-FR system. The first starts at the MCD Maintenance page and annunciates 
detected failures on the traffic displays. The second method starts when the TEST button 
located on the front panel of the MILACAS-FR Processor is pushed.  Fault codes are 
annunciated on a front-panel LED indicator.
The second method is available in the event of a display malfunction that does not 
annunciate the MILACAS-FR Processor failure.
F.
Fault Isolation
The system incorporates extensive built-in-test equipment (BITE) monitors. BITE monitors 
the system components constantly. Failures are annunciated on the screen of the PPI or 
dedicated traffic display and on various FAIL lamps and flags throughout the system. The 
BITE monitors are totally transparent to the pilot and do not affect TCAS operation unless 
a failure is detected. When a primary system failure is detected, specific LRU failures are 
annunciated on the PPI or dedicated traffic display. If a PPI weather/traffic display is used 
in a weather mode, “TCAS FAIL” is annunciated. When the display is switched to TCAS 
mode, the specific LRU failure(s) is annunciated.
Fault isolation is done on individual components prior to installation on the aircraft. Table 8 
shows publications that contain the tests for the different units.  Post-installation tests 
performed on the aircraft start from the transponder control panel or the MILACAS-FR 
Processor TEST button.  Fault codes indicate a system component failure or wiring 
malfunctions on the aircraft.
G. Equipment Required But Not Supplied
Table 5 shows the accessories for the MILACAS-FR Processor in the MILACAS-FR system 
and associated equipment. Accessories for the APX-100/APX-119 Mode S transponder are 
described in the Mode S transponder maintenance manual. Other related accessories are 
described in the appropriate manuals.
Table 6 shows the equipment required but not supplied with the MILACAS-FR system. 
Table 7 shows the aircraft optional equipment.
