INTRODUCTION
This manual contains information relative to the physical, mechanical, and electrical characteris-
tics of the Honeywell KXP 2290 Mode S Transponder. Installation and check out procedures are
also included. Information relative to the maintenance, alignment, and procurement of the re-
placement parts may be found in the KXP 2290 Maintenance/Overhaul Manual, P/N 006-15689-
XXXX. The only current KXP 2290 installation option is as a part of the APEX system. The KXP
2290 is blind-mounted and shares a mounting rack with the KMC 2210 APEX controller. For ad-
ditional information relating to the APEX system, refer to the APEX System Manual 006-10667-

EQUIPMENT DESCRIPTION
The KXP 2290 is a Mode S Transponder that is capable of non-diversity or diversity operation.
The KXP 2290 Mode S Transponder is designed to meet TSO-C112, ETSO-2C112a for a Class
2A ATCRBS/Mode Select Airborne Transponder System. It replies to ATCRBS Mode A and C,
Intermode, and Mode S interrogations.

Intermode, and Mode S interrogations.
Since the KXP 2290 is a Class 2A transponder, it can handle Comm A & Comm B Mode S data
link protocols. The KXP 2290 is compliant with TSO-C112 Class 2A and ETSO-2C112a require-
ments. The EUROCAE ED-73B transponder functionality is Level 2 (Surveillance and Comm A/
B) and the marking is level 2s. Additionally the ED-73B defined class is "CLASS 1". The KXP
2290 is also designed to meet the Enhanced Surveillance mandated in Europe.

The KXP 2290 has the ability to receive an 8-digit alphanumeric Flight ID code. The flight crew
enters the Flight ID information via the APEX control panel.

The KXP 2290 uses ARINC 735A TCAS interface protocol to interface with TCAS II. As a periph-
eral to the TCAS II processor, the transponder receives and replies to short and long Air-to-Air
surveillance and TCAS Coordination interrogations. Also, it receives and replies to Ground-to-Air
surveillance and Comm-A interrogations directed to TCAS.

Top and bottom antennas provide the diversity option that allow compatibility with TCAS. The di-
versity option allows selection of signal receptions from either the top or the bottom antenna based
on the characteristics of the received interrogation signals. This improves air-to-air surveillance
and communication. An Optional top-mounted omnidirectional antenna is required for diversity.

The KXP 2290 contains BITE (Built In Test Equipment) so the operational health of the unit is con-
stantly monitored. When a critical fault is detected, the unit will notify the APEX system. The unit
stores detected failures in non-volatile memory for later review. The unit also has a temperature
sensor and a timer so that faults can be time stamped and temperature data can be collected and
stored.
