The key features of MARU 310/320 DME are as follows:
Compact Design
Full dual high-power transponder, dual monitor and dual backup batteries are included in an
industry standard 19” rack cabinet for easy accessibility and maintenance. The equipment is
fully solid-state design with no mechanically moving parts.
Hot-swappable Plug-in Units
Most of the system hardware components are line replaceable units, which are designed to
be hot-swappable plug-in modules. Therefore operators can replace a live unit without
powering off, and this makes it easier to carry out routine preventive maintenance service.
Modernized microprocessor-based digital control
All the system functions are monitored and controlled by high performance 16/32-bit
microcontrollers. Most of the pulse waveforms are electronically synthesized using state-
of-art direct digital synthesis technology.
Long design life & durability
Minimum 15 years of design life through normal and regular maintenance

Designed to operate on 24hours a day and 365 days per year basis
Protection from EMC radiation, high voltage, etc.
Self Diagnostics
The Built-In Self Test Equipment (BITE) function is included to check the integrity of
system operation. The Built-In Self Test function is independent from the monitoring
operation
Full Local and Remote Control/Monitor
By using high performance microprocessor based control/monitor circuitry, full local and
remote monitoring and maintenance as well as fault finding from remote are possible with
detailed system status including each LRU status. Also up to two slave indicators (RMU)
can be connected for providing status indicator.
Collocation with any VOR or ILS
By using software programmable PLL frequency synthesizer and flexible IDENT keying
interface, a collocation with any VOR or ILS equipment on any operational
frequency/channel pair can be easily achieved. Both coaxial collocation and offset
allocation can be implemented by means of programmable delay offset adjustment.

1.3. SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
1.3.1. System Overview
The MARU 310/320 DME comprises two DME/N transponders, two independent monitors and
two AC/DC power supplies with backup batteries.
The transponders can be configured as dual system capable of working as main and standby. Any
of the system can be designated as main. The other automatically works as standby. The
changeover between the main and standby can be either initiated by an operator command or
automatically by the monitor system when an executive alarm condition is detected.
The monitors can be configured such that both monitors are monitoring the main transponder
simultaneously or such that one monitor is monitoring the main transponder and the other is
monitoring the standby transponder. When two monitors are monitoring the main transponder,
they can be configured either in ‘AND’ mode or in ‘OR’ mode for a changeover or a complete
shutdown in the event of failure.
The two power supplies work in parallel sharing load currents in normal condition. When one of
the power supplies fails, the other power supply continues to provide enough power for the dual
system with “no break’ operation.
The power supplies also charge the backup batteries. When the mains power is interrupted, the
backup batteries supply the power for the system with “no-break” operation.

1.3.2.2. Function
The DPU provides the following functions:
System changeover transfer with configurable AND/OR mode

System shutdown
Output power level measurement
Injection of DME test interrogation signal for MON.
1.3.2.3. Description
The transmit signal coming out of the LPA (MARU 310) or HPA (MARU 320) is isolated from
receive signal by a circulator. The output signal from the circulator is fed to DPU module, which
contains directional couplers and power detector circuitries. Finally the output is changeover
controlled by DPDT and live output is fed to the antenna via a lightning arrester and standby
output is fed to a dummy load.
The receive signal coming through the reverse of the transmit path is isolated from transmit signal
by a circulator and fed to the receiver unit, RXU via a tunable BPF. The tunable filter is adjusted
for selected station channel frequency.

MARU 310/320 DME
Technical Manual
Volume I, Section 1
The DPU module contains a 30 dB directional coupler, a 20 dB directional coupler and a 3 dB

hybrid coupler. The 30dB directional coupler is for sampling transmitter signal output and the 20
dB directional coupler along with the 3 dB hybrid coupler is used for injecting test interrogation
signal from MON/RFG.
Power detector for measuring RF power output level comprises RF schottky barrier diodes and OP
amp buffers.
The control board contains circuitry for controlling transponder changeover and system shutdown.
Signals indicating executive alarm conditions from two monitors are fed to the control board. As
two monitors vote for changeover, AND mode or OR mode can be selected. Also bypass control
input disables transponder changeover and system shutdown even when alarm conditions are
detected.

1.3.3.2. Function
The RXU provides the following functions:
Detection and recovery of incoming interrogation pulse pair

Discrimination of ON channel and OFF channel
Adjusting receive sensitivity
The RF down converter converts received RF signal with frequency range between 1025 MHz
and 1150 MHz into 63 MHz intermediate frequency signal. The received signal from DPU is fed
to a high dynamic range double balanced mixer and filtered by LC band pass IF filter. The local
oscillator signal is a CW signal with the frequency same as that of transmitter and supplied from
the TXU.
The Variable RF attenuator attenuates the received signal to desensitize the receiver in case the
load level is over a threshold point by a control of TCU. The attenuation range is from 0 dB to 80
dB.
The signal from the attenuator is fed to a channel filter and gets divided into by a two-way divider.
One output of the two-way divider is fed to a logarithmic detector. The output of the log detector
is fed to TCU.

1.3.4.2. Function
TCU provides the following functions:
Sampling and quantization of received signal

Decoding of received pulse pair
Generation of system delay
Echo suppression
Generation of pulse modulation signal
Measurement and adjustment of reply pulse pairs
Generation of squitter pulse pairs and IDENT pulse pairs
Load limiting by controlling receiver sensitivity
Generation of station frequency for both transmitter and receiver
In the heart of the TCU, two large scale field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) and a high-
performance 16/32-bit microcontroller are comprised.
The log video signal of received pulse pair is fed via buffer to a high speed analog-to-digital
converter, which digitize each video sample of input pulse pair. The stream of digitized video
signals are queued onto a FIFO and numerically processed to evaluate the pulse pair coding. All
the processing logic is built into a FPGA 1. When valid interrogation pulse pair is detected, a
trigger pulse is generated at the point 50% amplitude.
The trigger pulse is fed to the other FPGA and causes it to initiate a reply pulse generation after
fixed time delay. The reply pulse is generated by using combination and sequential digital logic
circuitry.
The pulse modulation signal is a Gaussian shape pulse signal. It is numerically synthesized and
converted to an analog pulse through a digital-to-analog converter.
The echo suppression is provided under control of the second FPGA.
Measurements of reply pulse pair is done by sampling the transmit signal from the LPA or HPA.
The sampled pulse signal is digitized by an analog-to-digital converter. The stream of digitized
data samples are processed in similar way as the MON does and measured parameters are used to
complement output pulse shape.
The squitter signal is a pulse pair with random interval, transmitted even in no interrogation signal
is present. The squitter signal is generated in the FPGA 1 and its pulse repetition is programmable
via the microcontroller on the TCU.
The IDENT signal is also generated in the FPGA 1 and its Morse code keying is controlled by
TCU software.
The TCU monitors the load level of received interrogation pulse pairs. If the load level is

increased beyond a preset threshold level, the TCU lowers the control voltage supplied to the
attenuator in the DPU, so as to desensitize the receiver responding range and eventually limits
load level.
The TCU provides the serial setup data for the phase locked loop (PLL) frequency synthesizers of
both transmitter and receiver with the station frequency.

generates a stable reference frequency for the PLL frequency synthesizer
PLL frequency synthesizer

synthesizes CW signal with a station frequency from the reference signal from the TCXO.
Driver amplifier
The output signal from the PLL frequency synthesizer is amplified to -20dBm, a level to drive the
final amplifier
AGC attenuator
The transmit carrier signal should be regulated by an AGC circuit to maintain stable amplitude.
The attenuator is used to control amplitude of the transmit signal. The AGC control signal is
generated by converting detected sample of output signal into a dc signal. A two-way power
splitter, RF schottky diodes and OP amp circuitry are used for this purpose.
Frequency detector
To monitor integrity of the station frequency, a sample of generated transmit signal is prescaled by
1/80 and fed to a TCU, which measures the station frequency by counting the number of pulses
per unit time.
RF Switch
RF switch is used to modulate the CW input signal with rectangular pulse shape. This is done by
switching on/off the input signal in sync with the modulation signal.
Final amplifier
The final amplifier amplifies the input signal from the drive amp to a 100W of peak power.
Coupler & Detector

The signal from the final amplifier is supplied to either DPU or HPA through a directional coupler.
The directional coupler samples a small amount of RF energy and RF schottky diode detects the
RF signal envelope.
DC/DC converter
A built-in DC-to-DC converter takes +24V DC input and converts it into multiple DC voltages,
including +5V, ±15V and +10V needed for each circuitry.

Pulse modulation of transmit signal
Monitors internal temperature
Detection of RF output level
Page 1-28
MARU 310/320 DME
Technical Manual
Volume I, Section 1
The input signal to LPA is amplified through four stages of RF amplifier up to +52dBm peak.
Total power gain is 30 dB with ±1 dB of tolerance. The first stage of amplifier is driven by a
GaAs FET and operated as class A. The reset of the stages are driven by RF bipolar junction
transistors and operated as class C.
Gaussian shape pulse modulation is applied onto first three stages of amplifiers. The current flow
to each drain/collector is modulated by the modulation signal, which has a Gaussian shape with
rectangular pedestal.
The final output signal is fed to a isolator for protection against possible mismatching and the
resulting reflected power.
Proper protection against possible damage from absence of negative bias supply voltage is
provided. Also inside temperature is monitored with a digital temperature sensor, whose output is
fed to TCU.
RF output signal is sampled by a 35 dB directional coupler for envelop detection and for a BITE.
A schottky barrier diode and op amps are used for envelop detection and BITE functions.
A DC/DC converter is built into the LPA. The DC/DC converter takes +24V input supply and
generates necessary voltages including +10V, ±15V, and ±5V. Also a hot-swap controller is built
around the DC/DC converter circuits. The +50V DC input is supplied from an external DC/DC
converter.

HPA is equipped only in MARU 320 DME, which is 1 kW output version. The HPA provides the
following functions:
High-power amplification of DME response signal

Additional Gaussian shape pulse modulation
Adjustment of power output
Monitoring of inside temperature
Detection of RF output power
The HPA takes input of peak power 44.5 dBm from the output of LPA and amplifies it with
maximum gain of up to 17.5 dB. To maintain stable constant amplitude, a sample of output power
is detected and fed back to TCU for digital control of output amplitude.
The HPA comprises two stages of amplification. The first stage is driven by a bipolar transistor
operating as class C. Besides the modulation in LPA, additional pulse modulation is applied to the
first stage of HPA. The final stage is driven by four transistors combined in parallel operating as
class C.
Like LPA, the final output signal is fed to a isolator for protection against possible mismatching
and the resulting reflected power.
Supervisory circuits similar to that of LPA are provided including a digital temperature sensor for
monitoring inside temperature and a directional coupler, an envelop detector and op circuits for
detecting RF output power.
A built-in DC/DC converter takes +24V input and generates necessary voltages including +10V,
±15V, and ±5V. Also a hot-swap controller is built around the DC/DC converter circuits. The

1.3.8.2. Function
MON provides the following functions:
Measurement and monitoring of pulse power output level, spectrum, and pulse parameters
including reply delay, spacing, duration, and rising/decay time of reply pulse pair
Monitoring of transponder and test interrogation RF signal generator (RFG)
Detection and monitoring of IDENT code output
Monitoring of receiver sensitivity
Generation of modulation signal for RFG
Measurement of RFG interrogation signal
Built-In Self Test
MON is built around a high performance microcontroller with large scale FPGA and a number of
analog-to-digital converters and digital-to-analog converters.
Most of the measurement and evaluation functions are built into the FPGA hardware, so that
software operation does not affect stability and integrity of the MON functions.
Programmable alarm limits are loaded into the FPGA registers and hardware comparison logic
circuits provide transponder changeover / shutdown signal in case of an alarm condition persists
for a preset period of time.
All the measurement results and monitored status information is collected by the microcontroller
and presented to operator via LCU.
The monitor causes an alarm to be indicated on all the local and remote monitoring equipments
and automatically transfers to standby transponder if the transponder delay differs from the
normal value (50 μs for X channel, 56 μs for Y channel) by 0.5 μs or more
Also, the monitor can be configured to cause an alarm when the following conditions arise:
a) a fall of 3 dB or more in transponder transmitted power output
b) a fall of 6 dB or more in the minimum transponder receiver sensitivity
c) the spacing between the first and second pulse of the transponder reply pulse pair differs from
the normal value by 1 μs
d) variation of the transponder receiver and transmitter frequency beyond the control range of
the reference circuit
Primary parameters are those parameters which, if outside specification, may be the cause of false
guidance or a degradation of accuracy. Other monitored parameters are defined as secondary.
Primary parameters are the reply delay and the pulse pair spacing.
When a primary alarm is detected, the system initiates a changeover to standby transponder if the
standby transponder is with no primary alarm. If the standby transponder is with a primary alarm,
Page 1-34
MARU 310/320 DME
Technical Manual
Volume I, Section 1
the system initiates a complete shutdown.
When a secondary alarm is detected, the system initiates a changeover to the standby transponder
if the standby transponder is with no alarm. Otherwise, no further action other than alarm
indication is taken.
The time that any of the conditions and malfunctioning enumerated above can persist before an
executive action of a transfer or a complete shutdown takes place is adjustable by software from 0
up to 10 seconds.
In any cases, the transponder is not triggered more than 120 seconds per second for either
monitoring or automatic frequency control purposes, or both.
Failure of any part of the monitor itself automatically produces the same results as the
malfunctioning of the element being monitored.

Section 2. INSTALLATION
2.1. INTRODUCTION
2.1.1. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
At every site, strict attention should be paid to safety regulations issued by the local
authorities.
2.1.1.1. General Rules
To avoid accidents, the following safety rules should be observed.

Do not consume alcohol in any form on the installation site.
Anyone under the influence of alcohol will not be tolerated on the installation site.
Wear protective goggles and safety gloves when working on batteries. Keep rinsing water,
soda, and several cleaning cloths on hand.
Wear sturdy shoes, safety gloves, and safety helmets.
Remove protruding nails, strips, etc. immediately.
Always check ladders and planks carefully before use.
Do not tread on protruding plank sections.
Never leave objects on scaffolding or ladders.
Erect sturdy scaffolding and frames and always test them thoroughly before using them.
Test and check electrical devices and extension cables before you use them.
Remove fuses before working on the mains.
Wear protective goggles when sanding or drilling.
Sand off burr from chisels and punches.
Test striking tools for tightness of fit.
Do not put pointed or sharp objects into work clothing pockets.
Remove jewelry such as chains and rings when working on building sites, especially when
working with electrical devices.
Always keep escape routes clear.
Every employee on an installation site should know the following.
Where the First Aid box is kept.
The telephone number of the nearest casualty doctor and eye specialist.
Page 2-1
MARU 310/320 DME
Technical Manual
Volume I, Section 2
Where the fire extinguisher is kept.

The location of hazardous areas on the way to the work place or at the work place itself.
When the shelter (equipment room) is unoccupied, it should be locked.
2.2. INSTALLATION
To install the beacon, you must perform the following procedures.
Select and prepare the site.
Remove equipment from shipping containers.
Make connections (typical installation), specifically, ground the equipment, connect the
power supplies, connect the antenna, and make the input/output (I/O) connections
Depending on the beacon configuration selected and the options used, it may be necessary
to connect the facility to the associated equipment or to other equipment.
2.3. INSTALLATION SITE SELECTION
The location for the distance-measuring equipment (DME) installation is determined by the
responsible Civil Aviation Authority according to international air traffic regulations.
The selection of the DME location also depends on nearby obstacles and clearance and, when
located in the terminal area, runway configuration; e.g., overrun, clearway, stopway.
The following site selection guidelines are only general recommendations. The final site
decision should be made locally, prior to, and during installation. The guidelines are
computed with formulas that take into account the terrain, obstacles, and other unique
considerations of the location.
The installation location is determined by a surveyor-supervised site survey. Mopiens can

provide an engineering consultant on site for this survey.
The DME installation location depends on the following conditions:
Terminal area beacon
DME (substituting or enhancing MARKER functions) placed with instrument landing system
(ILS) equipment
Stand-alone
DME with unidirectional antenna on its own mast and equipment installed into a suitable
shelter. The area is dependent on clearance and runway configuration.

equipment (external zone site and normally far away from terminal area)
2.4. EQUIPMENT SITE LOCATION
The ground beacon may be installed in a control room or inside a shelter that complies with
the environmental temperature, humidity, and etc. The equipment has the following overall
dimensions.
Height: 1922 mm
Width: 600 mm
Depth: 600 mm
The equipment requires the following clearances.
If rear access is required, there must be at least 24 inches between the rear part of the
beacon and the wall and any piece of equipment.
A minimum of 24 inches between the top of the beacon and the ceiling of the control room
or the shelter to leave space for the external connection cables and to allow access to the
antenna connector and to the antenna probes connectors.
A minimum of 4 feet between the front of the beacon and the wall and any other piece of
equipment to allow the operator to open the front door.
The base must be able to support the total weight of the equipment--about 400 pounds (200
kilograms), including the optional modules, within the range of dynamic stress envisaged for
the equipment.
The beacon does not normally need securing; however, if it is to be secured to the base, use
four M12 bolts.
2.5. UNPACKING, PACKING, AND SHIPPING
The equipment should be unpacked as soon as possible to ensure that it is complete and intact.
If it is to be stored, the storage facility must be dry. Refer to section 4 for the appropriate
temperature range specified in the technical data.
The DME beacon and modules will be packed according to national and international
standards. The packing procedure may vary according to shipping method and destination.

Section 4. MAINTENANCE
4.1. INTRODUCTION
4.4.1. General
This section provides all the information you will need to maintain MARU 310/320
Distance-Measuring Equipment (DME) ground equipment. It provides standards and
tolerances, maintenance requirements, required test equipment, performance check
procedures, information supporting station flight check, alignment and adjustment procedures,
and procedures for identifying and replacing faulty modules. It also provides procedures for
using external instruments (oscilloscopes, DVM, etc.) to confirm essential system parameters.
NOTE
Any procedures that are not part of normal

preventive maintenance should be used only at the
discretion of skilled maintenance personnel.
4.4.2. Design
The MARU 310/320 design includes state of the art techniques and parts that minimize the
equipment maintenance needs and maximize its life span:
Digital circuits and microprocessor-controlled transponders reduce periodic
maintenance requirements.
The main parameters are kept at their preset values for the life of the system, which
reduces drift from temperature variations and aging.
High-precision microprocessor-controlled monitors check the radiated signal and, if a
failure occurs, switch over to the standby transmitter or completely shut down the
system; consequently, the system does not emit faulty signals. Each monitor is a
completely programmable DME instrumentation set capable of performing all the tests
and checks required for routine maintenance and automatic diagnostics.
Built-in-test-equipment (BITE) simplifies maintenance tasks.(Module structure)
The advantage of this design is that your periodic maintenance intervals can be long and can
include a minimum of measurements.
4.4.3. Control and Monitoring
Since the equipment is not typically controlled by a local operator, we have designed it to be
easily monitored and controlled by a personal computer (PC). An operator can use the PC
keyboard and display, locally or remotely, to measure and control the main parameters of the
DME transponder and to perform built-in tests.
Page 4-1
MARU 310/320 DME
Technical Manual
Volume I, Section 4
4.4.4. Fault Isolation
The modules themselves offer the fastest method for identifying faults. Each module has a
light-emitting diode (LED) that is green during normal operation and red during failure.
Consequently, an on-site operator can very rapidly assess the status of the modules by
checking to make sure none of their LEDs are red. An off-site operator can troubleshoot
with the equipment’s built in DIAGNOSTIC function, which tests the modules and displays
the names of any that are faulty.
If one of the modules is faulty, it can be quickly and easily replaced since all the modules are
plug-in types and are easily accessed from the front of the cabinet.
4.4.5. Maintenance Planning
Plan your preventive maintenance activities according to local regulations. This section
provides recommendations for initial preventive maintenance schedules and activities.
Once you have confirmed that the system is stable, you can extend the maintenance intervals.

4.3. Periodic Maintenance
Each parameter of the transponder on antenna is measured in real time by the monitor(s).
The monitors incorporate BITE to verify all aspects of system performance. These
instruments are constantly verified by their own self-checks, the monitor integrity check, for
example. So failures are detected automatically. If a monitor fails, it will shut itself off
and generate a failure message.
Performance checks and periodic maintenance for the MARU 310/320 DME should be
initially performed properly. Many performance checks consist of running preprogrammed
tests and comparing the results to previously recorded data.
The frequency of periodic maintenance can be reduced according to operator's requirements,

environmental conditions, and the practical experience collected over time.
Every parameter to be measured is associated with the corresponding limits according to

Annex 10, Doc. 8071 Part III DME International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO)
specifications, the standards and tolerances in paragraph 5.2, and manufacturer's data in
section 4.
The built-in tests are performed using a local or remote PC.
The parameters measured with the EXECUTIVE MONITORING and ROUTINE CHECK
programs may be viewed using the CHECKS menu.
In addition to the standard tests, the skilled operator may use the CONFIGURABLE
MEASUREMENT tests to create special tests (not provided by the system) necessary to
perform particular checks.
Before starting every maintenance procedure, it is useful to analyze any possible alarm or
warning condition which may have occurred from the last maintenance intervention so as to
perform more accurate controls on the parameters that show signs of degradation.
At the end of the maintenance procedures, print the last Routine Check and the data relating
to every measurement performed; compare them to the previous data and to the data obtained
upon installation.
The operator should test both transponders and should use the diagnostic function
(DIAGNOSTIC TEST) to do a final test on both of them.
For the shelter, air conditioner, and emergency battery (if applicable), observe the
manufacturer's maintenance recommendations.

4.5. Routine maintenance

WARNING
To avoid an electrical shock, make sure that the

equipment is turned off before you do any routine
maintenance.
4.5.1. Cleaning
Clean the outside and inside of the shelter, if necessary.
Clean the inside and outside of the equipment cabinet when necessary.
Always use a vacuum cleaner to avoid transferring dirt to DME cabinet during the cleaning.
CAUTION
Use only anti-static brushes and dusters. Also, use

only a soft cloth; do not use corrosive and abrasive
substances.
The CSP front panel may be damaged by some

types of cleaning chemicals. To remove dirt from
the CSP panel, moisten a cloth with ethyl alcohol,
glycol, or clean water and remove dirt.
Only dust the subassemblies in conjunction with the necessary removal of a subassembly and,
even then, only if you can see dust on them. If you dust them, use a vacuum cleaner if you
can; otherwise use a soft brush. During such operations, it is essential to observe all
precautionary measures for static-sensitive semiconductors.
4.5.2. Other Checks
Inspect all components to ensure that there is no damage, corrosion, or evidence of

overheating. Verify that all components are securely mounted and that all electrical
connections are secure.
4.5.3. Antenna Installation Inspection
Thoroughly inspect the antenna installation (mast, antenna cables and connectors, power
cable, and obstruction lights) for damage caused by corrosion or by rodents, termites, or other
pests. The frequency of inspections depends on the site’s environment.
Page 4-7
MARU 310/320 DME
Technical Manual
Volume I, Section 4
Make sure all RF cable connections (internal and external) are tight.
4.5.4. Standby Operation Test
These procedures provide for checking the station batteries and correcting any deficiencies
that may be found and should be performed as part of periodic maintenance.
WARNING
Flooded batteries generate an explosive gas under

normal operating conditions. Take care to avoid
creating sparks that could ignite this gas. Ensure
that no tools or other metal objects can fall onto the
batteries or otherwise contact the batteries and
cause a short. Batteries contain a very corrosive
electrolyte that can cause serious injury to the skin
and eyes. Wear proper protective clothing and eye,
hand, and face protection when working with the
batteries.
Inspect each battery and verify it has no bulges, cracks, or other deformations. Replace
any defective batteries.
Check all battery terminal connections and verify they are tight and corrosion-free.
Check that batteries are clean and corrosion free. If necessary, remove dust or dirt by
wiping with a water-moistened cloth. If there is electrolyte on the surface of a sealed
battery, the battery has failed and should be replaced. If there is electrolyte on the outer
surfaces of a flooded battery, neutralize it with a solution made up of 1/2-pound baking
soda in 1 quart of water (0.22-kilograms measurements soda/liter water). Initially, this
solution will bubble. The electrolyte is neutralized when bubbling no longer occurs when
fresh solution is applied. When electrolyte is neutralized, wipe battery clean with a
water-moistened cloth. Dry battery with a dry clean cloth.
Using a digital multimeter or equivalent, measure the voltage across all batteries. This
voltage should be approximately 27 volts DC. Record this voltage.
Divide the voltage recorded in step d by 4 and record this voltage.
Measure and record voltage across each battery. The voltage across each battery should
be the voltage recorded in step e ±0.2 volts DC.
Turn off the AC power and record the time.
Measure and record voltage across the battery supply.
Page 4-8
MARU 310/320 DME
Technical Manual
Volume I, Section 4
Measure and record the voltage across the battery supply. This voltage should be no less
than 0.2 volts DC less than the voltage recorded in measured level. If battery supply fails
this check, measure and record voltage across each battery. Replace the battery that is
causing the drop in voltage. Charge the new battery and repeat.
Turn on the AC power.

4.6.3. Pulse Shape, Pulse Spacing, and Reply Delay
This procedure allows the operator to measure the pulse shape and pulse spacing of the
transmitter output. The operator can also measure the system reply delay. The procedure
uses a dual channel oscilloscope and is not as accurate as the technique used in the monitor.
Adjust the time base and trigger to allow the interrogations on channel one and the replies
on channel two to be displayed on the screen.
To enter the maintenance mode. Select checks and then configurable measurement. Set
up the configurable measurement screen as follows.
1. Rise Time. Examine the pulses on channel two of the oscilloscope. Set the
oscilloscope time base to 1 or 2 μs. To measure the rise time, measure the time for the
leading edge of the pulse to transition from 10 percent of its peak value to 90 percent of
its peak value.
2. Duration. Examine the pulses on channel two of the oscilloscope. Set the
oscilloscope time base to 1 or 2 μs. To measure the duration, measure the time between
the 50 percent point of a pulse rise time and the 50 percent point of the pulse fall time.
3. Decay Time. Examine the pulses on channel two of the oscilloscope. Set the
oscilloscope time base to 1 or 2 μs. To measure the fall time, measure the time for the
trailing edge of the pulse to transition from 90 percent of its peak value to 10 percent of
its peak value. See the Figure 4-2 Typical Transmitter Pulse Shape.
4. Pulse Spacing. Examine a pulse pair on channel two of the oscilloscope. To
accurately measure the pulse spacing, measure the time between the 50 percent point of
the pulse rise time of the first pulse and the 50 percent point of the pulse rise time of the
second pulse. See the Figure 4-3 Pulse Spacing Measurement.
5. Reply Delay. Channel one shows the interrogation pulses. Channel two shows the
transmitter pulses. Set the oscilloscope time base to 10 or 20 μs. Accurately measure
the time from the 50 percent point of the leading edge of the first constituent pulse of the
first pulse pair on channel one to the 50 percent point of the leading edge of the first
constituent pulse of the first pulse pair on channel two. See the Figure 4-4 Reply Delay
Measurement (X Channels)
6. Verify that the values read on the scope are equal (±5 percent) to the values measured by
the monitors. The monitor measures these parameters in the routine check. The
readings from the routine check should be consistent with the tolerances in paragraph 4.2.

4.6.5. Pulse Spectrum
4.6.5.1. Procedure
Go to maintenance mode. This will bypass the monitor to keep the transmitter on the air.
Connect the spectrum analyzer to the coaxial cable coming from one of the two antenna
probes (remove the cable from its connector on top of the equipment cabinet).
Use a 30 to 100 kHz/div bandwidth and select the beacon frequency for the spectrum
analyzer. Position the spectrum lines on the raster center of the instrument display and
adjust the signal peak level so that it touches the first top line of the raster.
Verify that, with FREQUENCY SPAN equal to 0.5 MHz/div, all the spectrum lines at a
frequency greater than the beacon frequency ±2 MHz are attenuated by at least 60 dB for
MARU 320 and 50 dB for MARU 310 with respect to the beacon frequency peak level, at
raster center.
Verify that, with FREQUENCY SPAN equal to 0.2 MHz/div, all the spectrum lines at a
frequency greater than the beacon frequency ±0.8 MHz are attenuated by at least 47 dB for
MARU 320 and 37 dB for MARU 310 with respect to the beacon frequency peak level, at
raster center.
restore the initial connections. Exit maintenance mode.
4.6.6. Transmission Rate
Perform the executive monitoring on antenna and/or the Routine Check.

Verify the transmission pulse rate value comes within the limits indicated in paragraph 4.2.
Set the counter to read the frequency values in the low frequency range (<100 kHz) and to
count the pulses. Because of the random nature of DME output pulses, the frequency
counter will not display a constant value. The reading will be effected by aircraft
interrogations. Do not use a value measured during a DME identification period. The
counter reading will increase during the DME identification period. Divide the frequency
counter reading by two to get the frequency of pulse pairs (as read by the monitor).
Read the value given by the instrument and verify that the reading (divided by two) is
approximately the same as that displayed on the executive monitor screen.
4.6.7. Monitor Interrogation - Pulse Shape, Pulse Spacing, and Peak Pulse Level
The external trigger input of the oscilloscope is connected to monitor test point
Channel one of the oscilloscope is connected to test point (RFG envelop port) of Backplane
to enter the maintenance mode.
Page 4-16
MARU 310/320 DME
Technical Manual
Volume I, Section 4
This method is not as accurate as the technique used in the monitor. The results obtained
using the scope will typically be within ±5 percent of the readings displayed by the monitor.
Rise Time. Examine the pulses on channel one of the oscilloscope. Set the
oscilloscope time base to 1 or 2 μs. To measure the rise time, measure the time for the
leading edge of the pulse to transition from 10 percent of its peak value to 90 percent of its
peak value. Record this time.
Duration. Examine the pulses on channel one of the oscilloscope. Set the oscilloscope
time base to 1 or 2 μs. To measure the duration, measure the time between the 50 percent
point of a pulse rise time and the 50 percent point of the pulse fall time. Record this time.
Decay Time. Examine the pulses on channel one of the oscilloscope. Set the
oscilloscope time base to 1 or 2 μs. To measure the fall time, measure the time for the
trailing edge of the pulse to transition from 90 percent of its peak value to 10 percent of its
peak value. Record this time.
Pulse Spacing. Examine a pulse pair on channel one of the oscilloscope. To accurately
measure the pulse spacing, measure the time between the 50 percent point of the pulse rise
time of the first pulse and the 50 percent point of the pulse rise time of the second pulse.
Record this time.
Verify that the values read on the scope are equal (±5 percent) to the values measured by
monitors (using the routine check).
4.6.8. Power Supply Measurements
Measure the +5 volt, -5 volt, +15 volt, and -15 volt levels using the test points on the
power supply module. See table of paragraph 4.2. for tolerances. For a dual system,
perform measurement on both power supply modules.
Measure the AC input voltage. The voltage should be measured at the terminal where AC
power comes into the cabinet.
Measure the output of the AC-DC converter(+27V using LRU & Power Amplifier)
WARNING
Dangerous voltage (220 V AC) exists within the

DME system. Contact with this voltage can cause
personnel injury or death.
The DC bus voltage can also be measured using the + and – test points on the AC/DC
module. Chassis ground can be used as a reference.
Measure the output of the DC-DC converter ( +50V using Power Amplifier )

MARU 310/320 DME
Technical Manual
Volume I, Section 4
4.6.9. Verification with Diagnostic Function
The diagnostic test is the last operation to be performed and is used to check both
transponders.
If this verification and previous inspections and controls confirm good beacon operating
conditions, all beacon mechanical and electrical components as well as its software can
operate correctly. With regard to the software, it should be noted that most of its functions
have been verified during the measurements described in this section.
To run the Diagnostic software, place the DME in maintenance.
4.6.10. Output Power Adjustment
The MARU 310/320 (here 310 is removed HPA unit) output power is set in the factory and is
confirmed to be correct at the frequency for which the DME is ordered. It may be necessary
to adjust the output power if the DME frequency is changed.(range is between 25% to 125%
of rating power ) For this procedure, it is necessary to measure the output power with a peak
power meter.
To perform this procedure, log on to the DME using GUI software. Enable the
maintenance mode. Set transponder to standby. When in the maintenance mode, Select
transmitter 1 or 2. This will cause the DME to fill in the Power Level Reference table
with the data stored in transmitter.
Select the channel for which the power is to be adjusted.
The power at a 100-watt setting and the power at a 50-watt setting (3-dB attenuation) can
be adjusted.(case. MARU 310) The numbers that are entered do not correspond to an
absolute output power. If the measured power is too high, reduce the number entered.
If the measured power is too low, increase the number.
The transmitter will turn off briefly. When it turns back on, it will be using the new
power settings. If the power output needs further adjustment, repeat the steps above.
4.6.11. Monitor Detector Calibration Procedure
The MARU 310/320 uses a detector circuit in the monitor assembly to measure the peak
transmitter power. This power measurement is one of the executive monitor parameters.
The peak power is normally calibrated on the station frequency at the factory. If you change
the transponder frequency (channel) or replace a monitor, you may have to recalibrate the
detector. Use the following procedure.
Determine the actual power output of the DME as follows:
1. Note the peak power reading on the other monitor; if it is known to be correct, it may be
used as a reference.
2. The procedures may be used for measuring the actual power output.
Page 4-18
MARU 310/320 DME
Technical Manual
Volume I, Section 4
Log on to the DME using GUI software.

Select Monitor 1 power adjust or Monitor 2 power adjust. Select modify.
If the indicated power is too high, decrease the adjustment number. If the indicated
power is too low, increase the adjustment number.
Select OK on the Power Adjustment Screen and OK on the configuration screen.
Exit the configuration screen. Turn on the transmitter.
Check the peak power reading on executive monitor screen. If further adjustment is
required, repeat above
4.6.12. Transmitted Power Calibration Procedure
The MARU 310/320 uses a detector circuit in the monitor assembly to measure the
transmitted power. This power is measured using a signal from the DME antenna. This
signal level must be about 30 dB below the output level from the transmitter (100 or 1000
watts). This power measurement is one of the executive monitor parameters. The
transmitter power is normally calibrated on the station frequency at the factory. If you
change the transponder frequency (channel) or replace a monitor, you may have to recalibrate
the detector. The detector will have to be calibrated as part of the installation process to
compensate for the actual losses from the cables used from the antenna to the DME cabinet.
Use the following procedure.
Log on to the DME using GUI software. Configure the DME for normal operation.
Go to Checks and Executive Monitoring on Antenna.
Use the control function to turn off both transmitters.
Select monitor cable loss, then modify. Enter the monitor cable loss. Select OK.
Select antenna cable loss, then modify. Enter the antenna cable loss. Select OK.
NOTE
The cable losses may be calculated based on the
actual cable used.
Select Antenna Probe Coupling. Use this to raise or lower the transmitted power (on the
executive monitor screen). The transmitted power should be set to the cabinet output
power (100 or 1000 watts) reduced by the loss in the antenna cable.
Select OK on the configuration screen.
Exit the configuration screen.

Section 5. TROUBLESHOOTING
5.1. INTRODUCTION
These paragraphs provide all the information you will need to detect and replace faulty
modules. The MARU 310/320 DME built-in test equipment makes troubleshooting easier.
If there are faulty modules, you will see failure messages identifying the modules. If both
of the transponders are shut down (dual system), you should first restore one of the two
transponders by removing the faulty module and replacing it with its counterpart from the
other transponder. This way you can quickly restore the beacon to service.
NOTE
Faulty modules should be repaired at an authorized

repair facility.
All technicians involved in troubleshooting should have a good knowledge of MARU

310/320 DME theory of operation and should be familiar with safety measures required to
prevent injury to maintenance personnel and damage to the beacon.
Replace the modules in the sequence indicated by the diagnostics. However, before you
replace any module, display all of the stored alarms or warnings that have occurred since the
last maintenance intervention.
The colored warning lights on the different modules have the following meanings.
Green light: Normally on—indicates the module or circuit is working normally.
Red light: Normally off—only comes on to indicate module failure.
Yellow light: Normally on—provides additional beacon operation status information.
These colors and conventions are also used for PC messages. WARNINGS, ALARM,
SHUT-DOWN, and HARD (primary alarm presence indication) messages are red. They
also flash to be easily seen even on a monochromatic screen. When the beacon is operating
normally, there are no red LEDs or PC messages.
Before you replace a module with a red LED on, reset it; a transient malfunction may have
activated a protection, which lit the LED.
Connections made with flat and coaxial cables and to passive, non-plug-in components are
highly reliable. You may check them last but do not overlook them.
WARNING
Use great care when working on the battery charger

power supply (AC/DC) unit rear part; it contains
dangerous voltage (220 VAC).
WARNING
Radio frequency voltage on RF power amplifier

modules output is hazardous.
The AC-DC modules contain the 220 VAC mains
Page 5-1
MARU 310/320 DME
Technical Manual
Volume I, Section 5
voltage and the corresponding 300 VDC rectified

voltage. The capacitors may remain charged for
several seconds after the modules are disconnected.
After removing these modules, wait for a few
minutes before touching the internal circuits.
CAUTION
To prevent the RF components from being damaged,

RF loads (antenna cable, 50 Ω loads) should always
be connected when the transponder is set to
OPERATING.

Technical Manual
Volume I, Section 5
5.2. Useful Information for Troubleshooting

The remote site procedures apply to the local site but not vice versa. The remote site is a
center or a control site situated far away from the place where the beacon is installed. The
local site is the place, near the antenna, where the beacon is installed. The two sites may be
a few meters or many kilometers apart.
Before you replace a module, set the beacon to off/stby.
The following items are required for local repairing operations.
Tool kit and spare fuses, supplied with the beacon
Digital voltmeter
Spare modules, especially those that are not redundant on the beacon such as the LCU and
associated facility interface.
IBM compatible PC (lap/palm top) with video, keyboard, 3.5-inch disk drive(or memory
stick), cable for connecting to the beacon, printer, and startup diskette.

MARU 310/320 DME
Technical Manual
Volume I, Section 5
5.3. Troubleshooting Procedures
5.3.1. Diagnostics
Use the diagnostics to check the efficiency of the dummy loaded transponder by carrying out
a sequence of tests. Since the monitor(s) are used for the tests, they are checked before all the
other modules, along with the power supply modules. Any possible faults will be indicated
on the PC screen.
5.3.2. Primary Voltages
A local or remote operator may obtain only the information relating to the site where the
equipment is standing. The type of power provided to the beacon is clearly indicated on the
PC video (POWER:MAINS and POWER:BATT. messages). If the mains power fails, the
beacon will switch to battery power supply without interrupting its operation and the
POWER:BATT message will appear.
5.3.3. Stabilized Power Supplies
Remote Site. A faulty SMPS module in the AC/DC unit is indicated by the message AC-
DC FAULTY. The POWER:BATT message appears when there is no power from the mains
or when both AC-DC modules are faulty.
WARNING
Before removing the housing of the AC-DC module,

wait about 1 minute after turning off the AC supply
and removing the line connections. This will
allow time for the high voltage capacitors in the
AC-DC module to discharge, reducing the
possibility of shock.
Failures of the power supplies in the LPA, TXU, HPA units are indicated by warning
messages and may be confirmed by measuring the relevant DC voltages.
5.3.4. Input/Output System
The parts of the input/output (I/O) system that could contribute to system failures are listed
below, starting with the most probable.
I/O panel (connectors on top of the cabinet)
Interconnecting cables and connectors.
Diagnostics are based on checking the indications provided by the front panel of INC
module. Following are some of the more common cases.
Page 5-4
MARU 310/320 DME
Technical Manual
Volume I, Section 5
No indication or command possible. Probably a power failure: check the voltage (+5V)
of LCU module. If the measured value is +5V ±5 percent, the fault is probably on the LCU
board or the connection cable.
Green OPERATION indicator in LCU section switches off. Probable hardware or

software fault on LCU board; this condition is also caused by <4.7 volt power supplies.
Yellow WARNING indicator is on in LCU section. A hardware fault in circuit on LCU

board real time clock (RTC).
Red DATA COM indicator is on in MAIN STATUS section. Indicates no communication

between LCU unit and the equipment modules. This condition may be caused by faults
in the serial port circuit on LCU board or the interconnecting cables and connectors. It
may also be caused by a failure in the serial port of the transponder or monitor.
Before replacing the LCU board, perform the following tests.
Press the LAMP TEST button twice in the LCU section and verify that the indicators are
working properly.
Shut down all the equipment from the control panel; then switch it on again after a few
seconds.
Momentarily press the reset button on the CSP.
If the fault persists, replace the LCU board, since the failure is not caused by a transient fault
condition.
The INC board can be indirectly tested through the LAMP TEST. Also, verify that the
pushbuttons function properly. If the indications and commands are correct on the PC and
the corresponding indications are different on the INC module, there may be an INC board
fault or the configuration is incorrect.
Cable or connector faults are unlikely to occur. When they do, you can often spot where a
cable has been damaged.

5.4. Module Replacement Procedures
All the modules may be removed and installed without removing power. The special design
of the connector that supplies power to each module prevents damage to the electronics.
The plug-in design and upper and lower extractors make replacement easy for every module
in the cardcage. To extract these modules, lift the extractors and pull the module out of its
guides. For some modules, it is necessary to press the cardcage locking mechanism while
withdrawing the module. To reconnect the module, reinsert it back in its guides, push it in,
and lower the extractors.
Several of the modules have jumper switches on their printed circuit boards. It is essential
to check that the switches or jumpers on the new PBA are set to the same positions as the
ones on the old module.
Modules with extractors do not require any special operations for their replacement.
However, you will need a screwdriver to replace the coaxial relay, DPU, and HPA unit.
For other modules, proceed as described below.
NOTE
Check that all the RF cables have been connected

correctly before switching the transmitter on again
and make sure that either the antenna or a dummy
load is connected.
CAUTION
To avoid damage to CCA and components, observe

electrostatic discharge (ESD) precautions when
handling all DME subassemblies.
