KING KT 76, KT 78 Transponder Installation Manual
The KT 76 and KT 78 transponders are radar beacon equipment designed for use in the Air Traffic Control Radar Beacon System (ATCRBS). The transponders are capable of locating the user through the air traffic controller. Range and azimuth are established by the return from the transponder's pulsed transmitter in reply to a routine interrogation from the ground radar site. The transponder reply is a set of pulses, selected in number, and positioned in time, one with respect to the other. Information is conveyed to the ground in this manner. An identity code number, selected at the front panel by the pilot, is transmitted as a Mode A reply. Mode C, altitude reporting, is an additional capability designed into the transponder. However, in order to convey altitude information, the transponder must be used in conjunction with a reporting altimeter and operated in "ALT" function. An additional feature of the transponder and beacon system is the S.P.I. (Special Pulse, Identification). After pressing the ident button the transponder, when interrogated, will reply with a special pulse that will cause the associated pip on the controllers display to "bloom" effecting immediate recognition.

1.1 INTRODUCTION
Th i s manual conta i ns information relative to the physical, mechanic a l , and electrical characteristics of the King H.adio Corporation Silver Crown KT 76/78. Information relative to the ma i ntenanc e, alignment and procurement of replac e ment parts may be found in KT 76/78 Maintenance/Overhaul Manual, KPN 006-5058-00.
1.2 GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The King KT 76 and KT 78 Transponders are radar beacon equipment desi g ned to fulf i ll the role of the airborne beacon under the requirements of the Ai.r Traffic Control Radar
Beacon System (ATCH.BS).
The KT 76/78 Transponders are capable of locating the user throu g h the air traffic controller. Range and azimuth are established by the return from the transponder's pulsed transmitter in reply to n. routine interrogation from the ground radar site.
The transponder reply is a set of pulses, selected in number, and positioned in time, one with respect to the other (not entirely unlike telegraphy). Information is conveyed to the ground in this manner. An identity code number, s elected at the front panel by the pilot is transm.itted as a Mode A reply.
Mode C, altitud e reporting, is an additional capability designed into the transponder.
However, in order to convey altitude information, the transponder must be lised in conjunction with a reporting altimeter and operated in "ALT" function.
An additional feature of the transponder and beacon system is the S. P. I. (Special Pulse,

2.6 CONNECTOR ASSEMBLY PROCEDURE
The KT 76/78 uses a special connector that mates directly with the Printed Circuit noard inside the unit. Assembly of the connector is as follows:
A. Contact Terminal Assembly Using Molex Crimper (Figure 2-2)
1. Strip each wire 5/32" for contact terminal KP N 030-1046-XX.
(The last two digits of the contact terminal part number indicate the number of terminals required).
2. Open the Mo l ex Hand Crimper HT1921 with the engraved side
. toward the operator. Place the conductor tab section of a contact terminal on Anvil B withthe contact portion facin g away from the operator. Close the crimper slightly until the contact tabs touch the female jaw.
3. Insert th e stripped conductor until the insu l ation is even with the side of the crimper facing the operator. Crimp the conductor tabs by squeezing the handles together until the jaws are fully closed
or a sufficient crimp is obtained.
4. Move the lead to Anvil A. Place the insulating tab section on
Anvil A. Crimp again Until the jaws are fully closed or a sufficient crimp is obtained.
5. If necessary, straighten the contact terminal while it is held by the crimper.
B. Contact Terminal Assembly Using Pliers
1. Strip each wire 5/32" for contact terminal KPN 030-1046-XX (the last two digits of the contact terminal part number indicate the number of terminals required).
2. Tin the exposed conductor.
3. Using needle nose pliers fold over each conductor tab in turn, onto the exposed conductor. When both tabs have been folded, firmly press the tabs against the conductor.
4. Repeat Step 3 for the insulator tabs.
5. Apply a drop of solder (using minimum · heat) to the conducto r /tab connection to assure a good electromechanical joint.

C. Contact Insertion into Molex Connector Housing
1. After the contact terminals have been instal l ed on the w i ring harness, the contact terminals can be inserted into the desired location in the connector housing. The terminal cannot be inserted up-side-down. Right side up it slides into place effortlessly.
Be sure to push · the terminal all the way in, until a click can be felt, heard, or seen (through the translucent housing).
2. The self locking feature can be tested by moderately pulling on the wire.
D. Extraction of Contact from Molex Connector
If a contact is inserted into the wrong connector position, or if an installation wiring change is desired, the Molex contact can be easily removed.
1. Slip the flat narrow blade of a Molex contact ejector tool, HT -1884, under the contact on th e mating sid e of th e connec t or. Looking down, the blade can be seen sliding into the stop.
2. When the ejector is slid into place, the locking key of the contact is raised allowing the contact to be removed by pulling moderately on the lead.
3. Neither the contact or position is damaged by removing a contact · if care is exercised when contact is removed.
2.7 KA 48 INSTALLAiiON
The KA
4a antenna is a vertical quarter wave d i pol e designed for optimum performance at the transponder operating frequency. When making the antenna insta ll ation guidelines should be taken from an investigation of proven s atisfactory transponder and DME antenna installations.
....: .
NOTE-
A . 380 inch clearance hole is required.
The antenna should be kept clean. If left dirty (oil covered) the range of the transponder may be affected.
2.8 LOCATION CONSIDERATIONS
1.
The antenna shou l d be well removed from any projections, the engine( s) and propeller( s).
2. The antenna should be mounted on a bottom surface that will be level in normal aircraft flight attitudes.

The surface directly beneath the antenna should be a nat plane over as large an area as possible.
Where pr·actical, plan the antenna location to keep ca bl e length as short as possible avoiding sharp bends in the cable. However, it is recommended that the separation between DME and transponder antennas be at least six feet.
Maximum separation of ADF sense antenna and transponder antenna is recommended. lN SUI .IITOR r;R IM P ANVIL A

Frequently asked questions
The KT 76 is a Class 1 transponder, while the KT 78 is a Class 2 transponder. Class 1 transponders are designed for general aviation aircraft, while Class 2 transponders are designed for commercial aircraft. The KT 78 has a lower transmit power output than the KT 76.
The IDENT button is used to provide a unique signal to air traffic control that identifies the aircraft on their radar screen. This is used for situations where the controller needs to quickly identify a particular aircraft.
The transponder code can be changed on the front panel of the unit. The specific steps for changing the code will vary depending on the model of transponder. Consult the operating manual for your specific model of transponder for instructions.
Mode C operation requires a reporting altimeter to be installed in the aircraft. The transponder must be set to the "ALT" function in order to transmit altitude information.
The KT 76 is tested up to 30,000 feet, exceeding the TSO requirements. The KT 78 can operate up to 15,000 feet.
