1.2 Purpose of Equipment

The 6200 series are a modern family of communication equipment.
Features:
• The sensitive receiver obeys the most recent requirements of ED-23C.
o It includes the ability to work in the offset-carrier (climax) operation in 25 kHz and
8.33 kHz channel spacing.
• The devices are for voice communication between aircraft or between aircraft and ground.
The devices use the VHF-band between 118.000...136.9916 MHz respectively
136.9750 MHz with a selectable channel spacing of 8.33 or 25 kHz.
• High efficiency transmitter delivers more than 10 W modulated, or un-modulated,
output power at 28 V supply voltage, or 6 W at 12 V supply voltage.
• The devices are made for applications where low power consumption is required e.g. for
gliders and leisure aircraft and balloons.
• The devices can operate from standard 14 VDC and 28 VDC installations and from
12 VDC or 24 VDC batteries.
• The receiver includes SCAN (dual watch) mode. This is for monitoring of two different
VHF frequency channels at the same time while the communication on the active
frequency.
• The squelch function prevents unwanted audio noise.
• The AUX audio input for connection of additional audio devices like navigation receiver,
warning-tone generator, or MP3 music player.
• The tandem function for a synchronized operation of two controllers.
• The intercom function is for voice communication between aircraft crew and passengers.
• The extended built-in intercom can work as:
o 4-way intercom with isolation mode – passengers could continue conversation or listen
to the music from a MP3 player at the same time while pilots talk through intercom or
communicate with the tower.
o 2-way intercom for tandem operation – pilot and co-pilot have different controllers and
can control their individual audio parameters, like volume or VOX. This mode is
preferred for training due to full synchronization of LCD contents.
• The devices have a non-volatile memory for the storage of:
o 99 channels for storage of VHF frequencies with customized labels.
o 9 recently selected VHF frequencies.

1.3 General Notices

The word "frequency" is also used in the sense of "channel name", as defined in EUROCAE,
document ED 23C chapter 1.3.2, Volume II.
In this document the word "memory channel" or "channel" is also used in the sense of a memory
position identified by a channel number, where a frequency may be stored for later use.

Installation and Configuration

Radiation risk:
A safe distance to the installed antenna must be ensured by corresponding
installation measures around human body damage (e.g. at the eyes) and/or
prevent the inflammation of combustible materials by radiated energy.

2.6.3.1 Antenna Type

Recommended antenna types:
• Vertical polarized 50 Ω broadband aircraft COM antenna.
• The antenna must be able to radiate RF energy evenly and omnidirectional.

2.6.3.2 Antenna Installation Details

• The aircraft-certifying inspector could support you in questions on how to achieve best
results in all directions (installation instructions must be fully complied with).
• For aircraft with metal fuselage we recommend a rod antenna.
• The antenna should be installed vertically (as far as) on or under the fuselage.
• The antenna installation location should be of an even surface and in a safe distance from
horizontally screening metal parts (propeller, undercarriage, vertical metal fins etc.), for
maximum radio range in all (horizontal) directions.
• The VHF Com1 and VHF Com2 must be installed with at least ½ wavelength (of the
antenna operating frequency) distance between antennas. It is necessary to have an
antenna separation of min. 45 dB.
• The distance to other aircraft antennas (COM, NAV antennas), should be at least 1.5 m.
• The antenna installation area should be as flat as possible.
• When two radios are used:
o It is necessary to have an antenna separation of min. 45 dB. This must be guaranteed
by the installer.
o It could be that operational degradations may apply, this must be documented from the
installer and approved for airworthiness.
• Make sure that the metallic contact between aircraft surface/structure and the antenna
cable outer conductor (shield) is adequate/solid.
o Never use a location on paint-coated surfaces!
o The electrical contact must be continuously good safe against vibration.
• For wood and fiberglass (GRP) aircraft (reinforcing the mounting location):
o 3 or 4 aluminum strips (each 60 cm long/5 cm wide) are recommended.
o The stripes must be put (mostly) horizontally with a shape as a star or cross.
o These counter weights must be centrally screwed together with the antenna socket to
ensure a continuous, electrically good contact.
• For aircraft with non-metallic surface structure inside the fuselage:
o A metal foil (min. 60x60 cm) can be stuck in.
o The antenna socket must be installed in the foil center, in addition with a metallic
ground contact support plate.
• For aircraft with fuselage and/or tail-fin made of non-conductive material:
o A vertical folded top antenna is suitable.
o The installation must be made preferably during manufacturing the tail-fin.

Notice:
Carbon fiber is conductive and can shield the antenna!

• Careful sealing of all holes/openings of the outer skin is mandatory.

o Make sure, that electrical contacts are continuously good, even under bad
environmental conditions.
o Use only high quality 50 Ω coax cable type RG400 or higher quality.
o Prevent any sharp cable bend (radius > 50 mm), and any excessive coax cable length.
o Put all wiring including antenna cable away from other wiring which carries heavy
AC currents and away from any aircraft controls.

DV14307.03 Issue 06 February 2021 Transceivers 6200 Series 67

Installation Becker Avionics
Installation and Configuration

• Any operating kinematics, trimming and all control handles must be absolutely free in all
directions.
• Ensure the BNC antenna plug is not shortened between inner and outer connector
(ohmmeter).
o A measured resistance of 0.0 Ω shows a short inside antenna connector (0.6...1 Ω
shows the antenna cable resistance), while an internally (static) protected antenna is
used.
o A simple rod antenna is tested for low resistive contact between inner cable conductor
and radiator, and outer conductor to counter weight.
• Check the antenna matching:
o Using 50 Ω SWR meter over the whole frequency range for VSWR ≤ 3:1.
o It may be helpful or necessary to change slightly the length of the middle radiator, or
counter weight length for optimized antenna efficiency and matching.

Recommendation for the Installation of two Transceivers in one Aircraft

This information gives guidance to installers for installations with two AR/RT series VHF air band
communication radios on-board of the same aircraft.
In order to minimize the risk of cross talk issues, a special care has to be applied during the
installation of the subsequent antennas on the fuselage, see "Antenna Installation" page 66.
Becker recommends to configure the muting functionality in the AR/RT series and to do the related
wiring as described here.

2.9.11.1 Configuration - Two Transceivers in one Aircraft

To use the AR/RT series in a dual com context, a muting function can be set. Obey the procedure that
follows:
• The radio has two input and output configurations which are changeable by the installer in
the configuration setup menu.
• The selection of configuration 1 or configuration 2 is done by an external input called
external mike switch.
o To do this it is necessary to adapt a cross link wire from the "Push-To-Talk" input of the
first transceiver to the "External Mike Switch" of the second transceiver.

External Mike Switch (/MIKE_SW)

Pin No. Pin Name Direction Function
Configuration selector CFG1 and CFG2.
J1-24 /MIKE_SW IN
ACTIVE state - closed contact to GND
• The external mike switch is used for selection between the audio in/out configurations
CFG1 and CFG2.
• When /MIKE_SW is active then configuration CFG2 is in use.
• When /MIKE_SW is inactive then CFG1 is in use.
• The configurations CFG1 and CFG2 contain parameters which are set in the configuration
setup pages (for details see "Configuration" page 75).
• You can change the configurations during the flight in the configuration setup.

Push-To-Talk (/PTT)
Pin No. Pin Name I/O Function
Push-To-Talk key input 1
P1-17 /PTT1 IN
ACTIVE state - closed contact to GND
Push-To-Talk key input 2
J1-5 /PTT2 IN
ACTIVE state - closed contact to GND
• There are two Push-To-Talk inputs available /PTT1 and /PTT2 (e.g. one for the pilot and
one for the co-pilot).
• Each input has an internal pull up.
• While the input is connected to ground a current of < 1 mA flows.
o The transceiver enters transmit operation, if one or both inputs are connected to
ground.
• According to microphone(s) configuration, the signal from particular inputs can or cannot
modulate transmissions.

The IN/OUT CFG1 can be set from the user:

Display Contents Description
"IN/OUT CFG1":
Notice: The menu is available on the primary controller.
Notice: "IN/OUT CFG1" is shown only when MIKE_SW input has active state (J1-24).
When MIKE_SW is connected both configurations CFG1 and CFG2 must be configured.
• On this page you can configure the microphone inputs and
headphone outputs for configuration CFG1.

Dynamic Microphone Input

Retrofitting an AR4201 with the AR62X1 in a typical glider installation with a dynamic microphone:

Figure 35: AR62X1 with Wiring Interface for AR4201

• Connect the cable shield to P1-6, which is the low side input for dynamic microphone.
o Because in AR62X1 this input is balanced, the cable shield is no longer connected to
ground (unlike it was with the AR4201). In most cases, it is not a problem.
• If interference with the microphone signal does occur, it is recommended to connect P1-6
with Pin P1-8 (the cable shield is grounded).

Error / Failure Indication

For the other avionic equipment repeat all interference tests during a flight and include all equipment
not before examined on ground. A communication performance check in the low, mid and high
frequency band of the device should be included.
• Make sure that the receiver output supplies a clear and understandable audio output.
• Make sure that the transmitter supplies a report of reliable communications by contacting
another station.
• Do a range test with a station at least 100 m from your own position.
• Examine the intercom function by talking into the microphone, while the engine is running
at cruising rpm. You should hear yourself and/or your co-pilot loud and clear.
• Turn "ON" the squelch and make sure that the normal radio noise, without a present
carrier signal, it will be constantly suppressed. The threshold of the squelch can be set in
the user menu.

Flight Test Check

• It is recommended to do a flight test as final installation verification.
• The performance of the device may be examined by contacting a ground station at a
range of at least 50 NM while maintaining an appropriate altitude and over all normal flight
attitudes.

 Operation Becker Avionics

• The figures for display content mainly show the transceiver in 8.33/25 kHz
mixed mode (pictures for 25 kHz differ only in number of digits for frequency).
• The user can do the HMI operation on the primary controller or on optional
secondary controller RCU62X1.

• The word "frequency" is also used in the sense of "channel name", as

defined in EUROCAE, document ED 23B chapter 1.3.2, Volume II.
• In this document the word "memory channel" or "channel" is also used in
the sense of a memory position identified by a channel number, where a
frequency may be stored for later use.

• Excessive pulses on the DC bus of the aircraft may cause damage on

electrical circuits of any installed instrument.
• Do not turn on the device during engine start or shutdown.

First make a voice communication test before starting any operation.

• Please notice that, if the communication test is done close to a ground
station, the results may be positive even if the antenna cable is broken or
short-circuited.
Caution! Then a communication could be not possible at a distance of
5...10 km and above.
• Speak always loud, clear and not too fast for optimal voice communication.
• Keep the microphone always close to the lips otherwise a special suppressing
circuit in the VHF COM will not be capable to suppress normal noise.
• Use only microphones or headsets which are suitable for specific installations.
o In aircraft made of wood, synthetic materials or in gliders or
helicopters, incoming radiation can affect the integrated amplifier of
the microphone (feedback), then the ground station receives a
whistling and/or heavy distortion.

• If the power supply voltage is less than the adjusted threshold, the display
shows the message "LOW BATT".
• If the power supply voltage is < 10.25 V, the device continues operation with
decreased performance.

o The activation of intercom operation with an external intercom switch
is still possible at any time.

• In tandem installation:
o The primary controller adjusts VOX threshold for first intercom circuit.
o The second controller (RCU62X1) adjusts VOX threshold for second
intercom circuit.
Cancel the menu:
• Automatically after 5 seconds timeout.
• Another long push (>2 s) on "MDE" key.

• The adjustment of -15 for VOX threshold is a convenient behavior in

most aircraft.
o This made a correct adjustment for the mike sensitivity necessary
(see configuration*).

* Details see "Configuration Setup" page 69.

3.15 Warning and Failure Indications

Display Contents Description
"LOW BATTERY":

IC
118.005 • The supply voltage of the transceiver is less than the threshold
adjusted in the configuration setup.
LOW BATTERY • The device is operable but it can have a decreased performance
depending on supply voltage.
at intervals of 3 s Possible cause:
• Accumulator capacity problems
• Power interrupts.
• General power supply problems.
• Adjustment for low battery threshold too high.
"STUCK PTT":

IC
118.005 • The transmit mode is automatically terminated (return to receive
mode) after 120 s of continuous transmitting.
STUCK PTT • The transceiver goes back to receive mode also if the PTT line is
still active (GND).
at intervals of 3 s Possible cause:
• Transmission continues more than 120 seconds. Frequent
overriding can decrease the MTBF.
• PTT-key is stuck.
• PTT line permanently grounded (short circuit in installation).
Notice: For the start of a new transmission it is necessary to set the /PTT line inactive
(open).

"TX HOT":

IC
118.005 • "TX HOT" is shown if the internal device temperature is > +90 °C.
• Transceiver is still operable. The performance of transmitter is
TX HOT decreased.
Possible cause:
at intervals of 3 s • Very high environmental temperature, long transmissions times
and airflow conditions are not sufficient.

118.005
• The transceiver has found an internal failure during normal
operation.
IC
• Depending on failure cause, the device is operable with decreased
FAILURE performance, or not operable at all.
Possible cause:
at intervals of 3 s • Specified environmental conditions.
• HW or SW failure inside the transceiver.
