DESCRIPTION (CONTINUED)
The TMA 340D/TMA 350D Marker Beacon is a crystal controlled, super heterodyne
receiver. It features three (3) annunciator lamps with three (3) individual external annunciator
lamp drivers. The marker beacon receiver feature an auto muting function which
automatically switches the marker receiver from a initial high sensitivity to a low sensitivity
and mutes the audio as the marker beacon is flown over. This function is selected by
positioning the marker beacon toggle switch to the “AUTO” position.
When this switch is in the “HI” position, the receiver is in high sensitivity and the auto
muting is disabled. The “Test” position tests the receiver’s annunciator lamps and external
annunciator lamps if connected. A middle marker sense output is provided for some flight
control systems.
All power, audio, microphone, audio returns and accessory lines are made to the audio panels
via the back panel, 44 pin cardedge connector. Audio shielding is connected to the tray
grounding bar.
The Audio Panels are designed to operate from either a 13.75 volt DC or 27.5 volt DC
aircraft power system with a battery floating on the supply at all times.

INSTALLATION (CONTINUED)
7.
Using a multi-meter, check for proper voltages on the 44 pin connector. Check also
for shorts between individual pins and between the ground and power bus pins. DO
THIS BEFORE INSTALLING THE AUDIO PANEL IN THE MOUNTING TRAY.
8.
Slide the Audio Panel into the mounting tray. Secure it in place by using a 7/64"
Allen (hex) wrench to tighten the locking shaft accessible through the front panel.
Rotate the wrench clockwise while applying gentle pressure to the front panel until
the unit engages the rear connector at the rear of the mounting tray. Use caution to
prevent stripping the threads. When properly installed, the front panel of the unit will
be very close to the instrument panel. To remove the Audio Panel, perform this step
in reverse order.
ANTENNA INSTALLATION
A dedicated Marker Beacon Antenna is recommended. Ensure that the maximum speed of
the antenna being used matches the maximum speed of the aircraft the Audio Panel is
being installed on.
Using the location information provided by the manufacturer of the marker beacon antenna,
choose a location to mount the antenna. Using the mounting template supplied by the antenna
manufacturer, mark, drill (punch), and mount the antenna to the aircraft.

2.
Turn on the avionics master switch.
For TMA 340D and TMA 350D hold the marker beacon in the TEST or down
position. All three marker beacon lamps on the Audio Panel (and any remote marker
beacon lamps) should be illuminated. Place a finger over the auto dimming photocell
just below and to the left of the function switch. Check to be sure that the lamps dim
(they don’t need to be fully extinguished). Let up on the TEST switch.
3.
Verify proper performance of all inputs by setting the COM l rocker switch to the
speaker position with all other input switches centered. Tune the COM l receiver to
an active frequency and verify COM l receiver audio is heard on the speaker. Move
the COM l switch to the center or “OFF” position and verify that COM l receiver
audio is muted to the speaker and headphones. Move the COM l switch to the phone
position and verify COM l receiver audio is heard in the headphones.

the Audio Panel back lights dim and return to bright.
9.
Connect a Marker Beacon signal generator to the antenna connector of the TMA
340D or TMA 350D only, at the antenna end of the coaxial cable. Inject a 300µV
signal and check all three marker beacon tones on the Audio Panel. With the marker
control switch AUTO, check for audio on both the speaker and the headphone by
toggling the MKR switch to the speaker and phone positions. Check for both
indicator and external lamp drivers on all three tones. Increase injected signal to
1500µV and determine that the auto muting feature is working correctly by checking
for headphone and speaker audio.
l l.
If middle marker sense is used for flight control systems, check for a high on pin 7,
middle marker sense, when a middle maker signal is injected.
10.
Secure all avionics master and power switches in/on the aircraft. Disconnect the
marker beacon signal generator cable reconnecting the coaxial cable to the marker
beacon antenna.

FINAL INSPECTION
l.
Ensure that all wiring is properly routed and secure. Dress harnessing neatly and
secure in place with cable ties. Check connector integrity and locking devices.
Ensure locking devices are functioning properly and are secured. Verify that cabling
is not “clotheslined” and provisions have been made for service loops. Pull yoke to
its maximum travel. While slowly returning the yoke to its original position, rotate
the yoke to full left and full right to ensure all cabling is routed and tied properly and
does not interfere with the yoke assembly. Cycle rudder pedals and verify they are
free and cables are unobstructed. Install gust locks, perform complete checkout of all
avionics including dimmers.
2.
Have the installation inspected by an authorized F.A.R. Part 65 inspector.
3.
Add the Terra by Trimble Audio Panel to the aircraft equipment list, make sure to
include the serial number. If required, complete F.A.A. form 337 and make required
airframe logbook entries. A weight and balance change may be required depending
on the type of aircraft the Audio Panel was installed in.
4.
Complete the warranty card and return it to Trimble.

4.
OPERATION
4.1
SCOPE
This section describes the proper operation of the Terra by Trimble model TMA 330D/TMA
340D/TMA 350D Audio Panel Marker Beacon Intercom unit. It will instruct the user on the
correct usage of the switches and knobs located on the front panel of the unit.
4.2
TOGGLE SWITCHES OPERATION
The front panel of the TMA 340D and TMA 350D have ten (10), three (3) position toggle
switches. From left to right these switches are labeled as “HI/AUTO/TEST”, “COM 1”,
“COM 2”, “NAV 1”, “NAV 2”, “MKR”, “ADF”, “DME”, “AUX”, and “AUTO”.
HI/AUTO/TEST Switch. The HI/AUTO/TEST toggle switch is located at the far left of the
front panel of the TMA 340D/TMA 350D. Its function is to control the sensitivity of the
marker beacon receiver and test the marker beacon annunciators located on the front panel.
For most operations of the marker beacon receiver, the switch will be in the center (AUTO)
position. This center position allows the receiver to operate in its full automatic mode. When
no signal is being received, the receiver is in a high sensitivity mode. As the aircraft
approaches a marker beacon transmitter the corresponding lamp annunciator lights and the
correct tone is audible. As the signal gets stronger as the aircraft flies over the transmitter, the
receiver automatically switches to a lower sensitivity and mutes the received audio tone to
the audio panel. If it is wished, the receiver can be forced to stay in a higher sensitivity mode
by pushing the AUTO switch to the up or HI position. This action will keep the received
audio tones un-muted. When the AUTO switch is pushed to the momentary down (TEST)
position, all three front panel annunciator lamps as well as all three external annunciator
lamps (if installed) will be illuminated. Also the HI/LOW gain circuitry of the receiver will
be reset to the HI gain mode. When flying over a middle marker beacon, the middle marker
sense will go to a high. This is for some flight control systems which require middle marker
information. The middle marker sense does not activate during lamp test.
COM 1 Switch. The COM 1 switch is used to select whether or not the received audio of the
COM 1 transceiver is to be heard. If the received audio is to be heard, the pilot can choose to
pipe the audio to either the headphones or the cabin speaker.
Centering the COM 1 toggle switch shuts off all audio from that transceiver. If the COM 1
audio is to be heard on the cabin speaker, move the COM 1 toggle switch to the up position.
If the COM 1 audio is to be heard in the headphones, move the COM 1 toggle switch to the
down position.
COM 2 Switch. Operation of the COM 2 toggle switch is exactly the same as that of the
COM 1 switch. The only difference is that it controls the receive audio line of the COM 2
transceiver.
Revision A
October 7, 1996
37
4.2
TOGGLE SWITCHES OPERATION (CONTINUED)
NAV 1 Switch. The NAV 1 switch controls the received audio of the NAV 1 receiver. When
the NAV 1 switch is put in the up position it connects the NAV 1 receiver audio to the cabin
speaker. When the NAV 1 switch is put in the down position, it connects the NAV 1 receiver
audio to the headphones. And when the NAVI switch is in the center position, all audio from
the NAV 1 receiver is shut off
NAV 2 Switch. Operation of the NAV 2 toggle switch is exactly the same as that of the NAV
1 switch. The only difference is that it controls the receive audio line of the NAV 2 receiver.
MKR Switch. The MKR switch controls the audio of the internal marker beacon receiver of
the TMA 340D/TMA 350D or the external marker audio inpup for a TMA 330D. The up
position connects the Marker Beacon receiver audio to the cabin speaker while the down
position connects the Marker Beacon receiver audio to the headphones. When the switch is in
the center position, all Marker Beacon receiver audio is shut off.
ADF Switch. The ADF switch controls the audio from the ADF receiver. The up position
connects the ADF receiver audio to the cabin speaker while the down position connects the
ADF receiver audio to the headphones. When the ADF switch is in the center position, all
ADF receiver audio is shut off.
DME Switch. The DME switch controls the audio from the DME. The up position connects
the DME audio to the cabin speaker while the down position connects the DME audio to the
headphones. When the DME switch is in the center position, all DME audio is shut.
AUX Switch. The AUX switch controls the AUX receiver audio from the AUX receiver/
transceiver. The up position connects the AUX receiver audio to the cabin speaker while the
down position connects the AUX receiver audio to the headphones. When the AUX switch is
in the center position, all AUX receiver audio is shut.
AUTO Switch. The AUTO switch is used in conjunction with the microphone selector knob.
It automatically connects the selected COM transceiver receiver audio to the speaker or
headphones, which ever is desired.
4.3
MICROPHONE SELECTOR SWITCH OPERATION
The microphone select switch is used to connect the pilot and co-pilot microphones to any of
three (3) transceivers or two (2) speakers when the microphones are keyed. This switch also
has an emergency function. When the knob is in the EMG position and power is removed
from the unit, the COM 1 transceiver audio is hardwired to the headphones along with the
pilot microphone and mic key. This feature is included in the TMA 330D/TMA 340D/TMA
350D in the event of a supply failure.
38
Revision A
October 7, 1996
4.3
MICROPHONE SELECTOR SWITCH OPERATION (Continued)
For normal operations the COM 1, COM 2, and AUX positions connect the pilot and co-pilot
microphones and mic keys to the respective communication units. The EXT position
connects the pilot and co-pilot microphones to the external (ramp) speaker. The PA position
connects the pilot and co-pilot microphones to the PA speaker in the passenger area of the
aircraft. In both the EXT and the PA positions, no receiver audio is selected by the AUTO
switch.
4.4
INTERCOM CONTROL KNOBS (TMA 350D ONLY)
Two knobs on the front panel of the TMA 350D control the internal intercom. The two knobs
are ON/OFF Volume and Squelch. The center (small) knob is the ON/OFF Volume knob and
is used to turn on and off the intercom. It is also used to set the intercom’s headphone volume
level. The full Counter Clock Wise (CCW) detented position of this knob is the off position
while the full Clock Wise (CW) position of this knob is the maximum volume position.
The outer (large) knob is the squelch control and is used to set the sensitivity of the intercom
VOX circuit. The full CW position of this knob is the maximum sensitivity position (mic
always on) while the full CCW position of this knob is the minimum sensitivity position (mic
always off).
4.5
MARKER BEACON RECEIVER (TMA 340D/TMA 350D ONLY)
The marker beacon receiver is an integral part of the TMA 340D and TMA 350D only unit
and is automatically powered up when the Audio Panel is given power. The operation of the
marker beacon receive is controlled by the HI/AUTO/TEST switch and the MKR switch.
This marker beacon receiver employs a function which is different than other receivers by
other manufacturers. It uses a receiver muting circuit which automatically mutes the received
audio after the signal strength reaches a preset level. Approximately every 15 seconds the
circuitry reevaluates the received signal level and either mutes or unmutes as necessary. This
will save the pilot from unnecessary noises and tone which may distract him/her during the
approach.
The HI/AUTO/TEST switch is a three (3) position toggle switch. The center or HI/AUTO/
TEST position puts the marker beacon receiver in the automatic mode. What this means is
that all gain sensitivity and muting is controlled automatically in this position. In the up or HI
position, the marker beacon receiver is forced to stay in the high gain position. The marker
beacon receiver audio will not be muted automatically as the signal level of the marker
beacon transmitter increases while flying over it. Placing the switch in this position puts the
receiver in the hi gain mode bypassing the audio mute function of the receiver. In the down or
TEST position, the three (3) annunciator lamps on the front of the Audio Panel (and also the
external annunciator lamps) will be illuminated, whether or not you are flying over a marker
beacon transmitter. This allows the pilot to test the correct operation of the lamps. This
position is a momentary position and when you let up on it will return to the center or AUTO
position. Placing the switch in this position and returning it to the auto position will reset the
internal circuitry that controls the hi/low receiver gain and audio muting.

Your warranty does not become effective unless you mail your completed Warranty Registration card to us within 15 days after installation of your Terra
by Trimble equipment.
For how long?
Three years from date of original installation of the equipment, but not more than four years from date of purchase.
If you receive repair or replacement of equipment under this warranty, the warranty remains in effect on the repaired or replaced equipment for the
remainder of the original three-year term.
What will we do to correct problems?
Repair any equipment found to be defective in materials or workmanship.
If we choose, we may replace the equipment rather than repairing it.
We will be responsible for the cost of labor and materials for repair or replacement of any equipment found to be defective in materials or workmanship.
How do you make a warranty claim?
Contact your nearest Authorized Terra by Trimble dealer for repair or replacement of any equipment defective in materials or workmanship.
If directed by your Authorized Terra by Trimble dealer, or if you are unable to contact a Terra by Trimble dealer, send the equipment to our factory:
Properly pack your equipment; we recommend using the original container and packing materials.
Include in the package a copy of the sales receipt or other evidence of date of original purchase and installation. If the equipment was a gift, provide a
statement specifying the date received and installed. Also note your name, address, daytime telephone number, and a description of the defect.
Ship the equipment UPS or equivalent. You must prepay the shipping charges. Ship to:
Trimble

Are there any other limitations or exclusions?
Any implied warranties are in effect only as long as this warranty is in effect.
This warranty does not cover incidental or consequential damage such as damage to other equipment or to your aircraft that results from defects
covered by this warranty.
Some states do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts, or allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages,
so the above limitation or exclusion may not apply to you.
