INTRODUCTION
The RCOM-100 is a Globalstar satellite telephone for aviation. It is housed in an ARINC 600 2
MCU enclosure. The RCOM-100 is designed to provide voice and data communication in an
avionics application.
The voice connection is established through a standard TIP/RING interface. The RCOM-100 can
be connected to any standard telephone handset that complies with EIA/TIA-464B and
TIA/EIA/IS-470-B.
The data connection is through the RCOM-100 data port. The data port supports two types of
data services: asynchronous data, and packet data. Asynchronous data provides the capability
of establishing a connection between a device connected to the data port, and any Hayes
compatible modem connected to the Public Switch Telephone Network. For packet data the
device connected to the data port must be able to support a PPP session over TCP/IP. This is the
typical standard used by computers for dial-up services.
The installation to the RCOM-100 consists of:
•
Locating and mounting the transmit/receive antenna
•
Installation of the mounting tray for the ARINC 600 2MCU box
•
Locating and mounting the NAT PTA-12 Dialer
•
Locating and mounting the VC28 DC-to-DC converter (14 to 28 volts for PTA-12_
•
Wiring the RCOM-100 37 pin circular connector for power, tip/ring, and the data
connection port.
•
Wiring the PTA-12 to the Audio Panel.
Installation Requirements:
When installing the ARNAV RCOM-100 the installer must have a working knowledge of aircraft
electronics installation, and be a holder of a FAA Repairman’s Certificate.
All installations should meet the requirements of FAA advisory circular
AC43.13-1B
.

OVERVIEW
The main tasks for this installation are listed below:
1. Check the shipped installation kit components against this manual.
2. Determine the approximate location of the RCOM-100, the transmit/receive antenna, the
PTA-12, and the VC28. Factors considered for locations are minimum and maximum
antenna coax lengths, and minimum GPS and transmit antenna separation.
3. Mount the ARINC 600 2 MCU tray.
4. Mount the transmit/receive antenna.
