Posted: Tue Sep 21, 2010 7:38 pm Post subject: 3 transponder wires

Finishing up the wiring, hooking up the transponder, and I have to confess that whoever took the transponder out of the wreck (probably me) failed to note down enough information about how to hook it back up. 

Coming off the tray is a wire that is obviously the ground, no problem. Another 16 gauge wire is obviously the power supply, once again no problem. But there is one wire left over, it is about 20 gauge, and I have no idea if it goes to hot or ground. Probably hot, but...

The transponder is an RT359A 300, probably out of a Cessna.



Will go around to the local avionics shops tomorrow and ask dumb questions unless someone on here already has an answer.

Richard, Don't you have to have an input from the sensitive altimeter (the sealed box type, not the Kohlsman type)?

Back light is possible. I just don't want to apply power to it and have any of the smoke leak out. I don't think Lucas was involved in this unit, and I don't want him getting involved.



And this airplane doesn't have a sensitive altimeter, it just uses the one in the Grand Rapids E I S.

Richard,



Could it be an antenna wire?
