XMD076A Receiver Installation  
2.3.1 Installation Considerations  
The XMD076A is intended for application as a “sensor” to the MFD, providing a datalink  
to the weather information transmitted by XM Satellite Radio. The software contained in  
the XMD076A meets the requirements of RTCA DO-178B, Level E.  
2.3.1.1 Location  
The XMD076A shall be installed in any interior location of the aircraft that is within the  
environmental limits specified in Section 1.2.1. The receiver location should be at least  
12 inches away from transmitting radio equipment and is within 40 feet of cable to the  
XM antenna.  
2.3.1.2 Orientation  
The XMD076A can be positioned in any orientation, however the effects of condensation  
that could develop in the selected area of the aircraft should be considered. If the  
XMD076A is located in such areas, the XMD076A should be positioned to prevent  
condensation from entering the D-Sub inter-connect as water wicks through the wire  
harness. Drip loops routed in the harness can usually prevent such action.  
Another consideration to the orientation of the XMD076A is to allow easier viewing of the  
on-board power-on indicator during troubleshooting. The power LED is located next to  
the main interface connector, J1.  
2.3.1.3 Cooling  
The XMD076A is not equipped with air vents or fans, which can be blocked and  
therefore this consideration is not required.  
2.3.1.4 XMD076A and XMC050 Communications  
The wireless communications between the receiver and the controller uses Bluetooth  
Class 2 technology. This wireless link has a line-of-sight (LOS) range of at least 25-ft.  
Since the XMD076A is typically located in remote locations of the aircraft, this range  
must be considered. In addition, if the XMD076A is located in an effective radio  
frequency shielded area, the link may be weak or unable to be established.  
In such cases where the location of the XMD076A may produce undesired operation  
with the XMC050 controller, the on-board antenna of the XMD076A can be extended.  
Refer to Section 2.3.3.1 for more information.  
2.3.2 Mounting the XMD076A  
The XMD076A should be securely mounted to the aircraft structure using the (4)  
provided #10 diameter mounting holes IAW AC 43.13-2A, Chapter 2. An interface

circuit breaker for both 14V and 28V aircraft.  
2. Power Enable, P1-18: Must be energized for system operation. Apply power through  
switch or jumper to P1-19.  
3. RS-232: P1-22, 4 and 23: Use 22AWG shielded triple, M2750022TE3T14 or similar  
with a maximum length of 50-feet. Connect dedicated signal ground (J1-23) to the  
MFD signal ground. Terminate shield on both ends to the P1 backshell and the MFD  
connector shell or chassis ground.  
4. Stereo Audio Output: P1-20, 1, 21 and 2. Stereo entertainment audio is provided  
from left and right 600-ohm transformer balanced outputs. This stereo entertainment  
output has sufficient output impedance and level range to be connected directly to  
headphones or to the “music” input of various crew audio panels or intercom  
systems. Connection directly to speakers is not recommended.

The illustration below is for a headphone jack:  
NOTE: Use a ground isolated headphone jack where the “sleeve” of the jack is not  
electrically connected to the aircraft ground. If the audio cable run is less than 10 Ft.  
from the receiver to the jack, then ground isolation should not be required.  
The below illustrations show typical connections to aircraft audio panels:  
5. Audio Muting: The XMD076A is equipped with a discrete input (active ground) that  
immediately mutes the audio, bypassing any volume control input from the user. In  
cases where the XMD076A audio is not routed through the aircraft audio panel and  
connected directly (such as to headphones or amplified speakers), this function may  
be required.  
6. Satellite Antenna: Refer to Section 2.4 for antenna installation information.  
7. Wireless Antenna Extension: If required, the on-board Bluetooth Antenna of the  
receiver can be re-located exactly as shown below to allow the wireless link to reach

XM Satellite Antenna Installation Considerations  
The XMD076A is designed for use with various XM Radio type-certified antennas  
covering the S-Band from 2.332 GHz to 2.345 GHz. Due to the low signal levels  
inherent with satellite communications, the following guidelines and recommended  
practices should be adhered to for the design of the antenna installation:  
Install IAW AC 43.13-2A Chapter 3, AC 43.13-1B Chapter 11, antenna  
manufacturer instructions, and in a manner acceptable to the administrator.  
Mount the antenna on the top of the aircraft to an external surface such as the  
fuselage, away from vertical obstructions as to not “shadow” the antenna from  
line-of-sight reception of the satellites. (Mount antenna as high on the fuselage  
as practical). Relocation of other less location-sensitive transmitters may be  
necessary to achieve optimal XM reception performance.  
The mounting of the antenna must provide an electrical bond of 0.003 Ohms or  
less the airframe ground.  
2.4.1 Antenna Coaxial Cable Installation  
The correct cable loss of the antenna feed cable is critical to the performance of the  
system operation. The design configuration of the receiver’s input is preset to expect a  
total gain range of 22dB (+/- 2dB).  
Typical XM Radio type-certified aircraft antennas are configured with a total gain of 30-  
34dB where 10dB of total cable loss provides the correct gain to the receiver. Always  
refer to the antenna specifications to insure the correct gain. If desired, additional loss of  
0.3dB for each SMA connector can be added but is not crucial to system performance.  
Table 1 below provides reference information for lengths for various 50-ohm cable types  
that are commonly used with SMA connectors to produce the acceptable loss when  
used with antennas with 30-34dB of gain.

When antennas of other gain values or other cable types are installed, the cable length  
can be determined using the equation below:  
Antenna Gain – 22  
Cable Length (Feet) =  
X 100  
Cable Loss Rating  
(in dB/100-Ft.)  
(
)
When the distance between the antenna and receiver is short, run the amount of cable  
required to meet the loss requirement and stow excess length. An alternative to stowing  
large amounts of excess cable is to install a low power RF attenuator in-line with the  
cable. This system requires a DC bias passing type attenuator that has a frequency  
rating that falls within the maximum satellite frequency of 2.345 GHz.  
2.4.2 Interference from VHF and SATCOM Transmitters  
Mount the antenna no closer than 36 inches to VHF-Comm transmitters of 15  
Watts or less. For more powerful transmitting antennas, XM separation should be  
a minimum of 48-inches. Installation pre-testing (see note below) should be  
performed if the separation is less than 60-inches.  
If a XM/VHF-Comm combo style antenna is being installed and replacing the  
operation of an existing approved antenna installation, the existing separations  
are acceptable.  
SATCOM antennas transmit at 40 Watts and should be separated by the largest  
distance possible, or a minimum of 36-inches.  
When routing the XM antenna cable, the maximum possible separation from  
transmitter antenna feed cables must be considered, especially with SATCOM  
and other high power transmitters. Antenna feed cables of VHF transmitters of 15  
Watts or less should only require a minimal separation.

Installation Manual  
XMD076A  
Receive only antennas such as ADF and GPS do not produce interference and  
require little separation. The XM antenna should be placed as close as possible  
to these types of antennas to gain separation from transmitters.  
NOTE:  
Installation pre-testing is advised if this installation is being performed on several similar  
aircraft such as a fleet. A pre-test can be performed by mounting the antenna on a piece of  
aluminum sheet, approximately 24” in diameter or square, to serve as a temporary ground  
plane. This antenna assembly would then lay on the aircraft skin near the proposed  
installation location for an active ground test prior to cutting mounting holes. This has  
proven both beneficial and cost effective in past fleet installations since all transmit  
equipment can be operated and tested for XM receiver interference prior to the actual  
installation.  
NOTE:  
This installation manual does not contain approved data for type specific aircraft antenna  
installations.

XMD076A  
3.2.2 Power System and Initial Test  
1. Apply power to the XMD076A receiver and any other system applicable to the MFD  
or audio equipment. Some installations may include a WX Data power switch and if  
equipped, toggle to the ON position. The receiver is equipped with an on-board red  
LED indicator to show the receiver is powered-on.  
XM WX: The MFD operations manual may be required to continue.  
2. Power up the MFD. Go into Maintenance Mode using the procedure in the MFD  
installation manual and select the RS232 port to which the XM Receiver is wired.  
3. Restart the MFD. Select the Trip page on the MFD. Press the Display button until  
Broadcast (a down pointing arrow) Status is displayed in the Display button label.  
4. The MFD should report the “XM Serial Number” matching the “Satellite Weather ID”  
code noted in Section 2.2 above. The MFD should also show the Signal Quality of  
the XMD076A. If this data is shown on the MFD, the communication link between the  
MFD and receiver is operational.  
5. If the Signal Quality is reported as “Good”, the antenna and cabling are installed  
correctly and are operating normally and, the aircraft is in view of at least one of the  
XM satellites.  
Note: The “Satellite Weather ID” code must presented to the aircraft owner, who will  
need it to acquire the subscription service and for other customer service needs with  
XM Satellite Radio.  
6. If the Signal Quality is reported as “Marginal”, “Weak”, or “None”, reposition the  
aircraft away from obstructions to get a better view to the sky. After verification of the  
aircraft position and if the Signal Quality is still not “Good”, inspect the antenna and  
cable.  
7. If the information is not reported, check the following:  
The software configuration of the MFD. Verify the MFD is configured for use  
with the XMD076A (or XMD076). Refer to the MFD documentation.  
The RS232 data wiring to the MFD. Refer to Appendix C and Section 2.3.3  
for wiring information.  
Power to the XM receiver. Verify red power indicator (located next to J1) on  
the XM receiver is illuminated.  
XM Audio:  
The XMC050 operations manual may be required to continue.  
8. Power up the XMC050 controller and set the “Receiver ID” as required. If the  
“Receiver ID” is not known, put XMC050 controller in search mode as follows:

Installation Manual  
XMD076A  
With the XMC050 powered, press the "receiver select" button on the remote  
(top right button).  
Enter 4881 for password, then enter 88.  
The display will show “Receiver ID Search”. XMC050 is now searching for  
available receivers that are in range of the communication link (25 feet).  
When a receiver is found, the display will change to “Receiver ID Found” and  
list the ID number of the receiver. Note: If multiple receivers are active, all of  
the receiver ID’s will be listed. It is recommended to have only one receiver  
active at a time to avoid confusion.  
Once the ID is determined, press the “receiver select” key again and type in  
the number then proceed at Step 9 below.  
9. Verify the remote display is showing “Connecting toXX” where XX is the “Receiver  
ID” noted in Section 2.2 above. Allow at least 30-seconds for the initial connection  
link to establish. Ignore the connection retry message displayed on the controller  
during this time. Once this initial connection is made, further connections establish in  
a few secondser up the XMC050 controller and set the “Receiver ID” as required.  
10. If the connection fails to establish after 1-minute, try the following:  
Move the controller closer to the XMD076A  
Evaluate the location of the XMD076A and determine if an extension is  
required. Refer to Section 2.3.3.1(7) above.  
Verify the XMD076A is still powered. Check circuit breaker, connectors, etc.  
Verify the charge indicator on the controller display shows a good charge.  
Replace batteries as required.  
11. Activate the audio equipment being fed by the XMD076A and adjust the volume  
using the XMC050 controller as needed.  
NOTE:  
At power-up, the XMD076A defaults to mute mode and will only output audio  
when connected to the XMC050 wireless controller.  
12. Change the XM channel to zero, “0”. The controller display should read “RADIO ID,  
SW VER” and verify the 8-digit code matches the “Satellite Radio ID” noted in  
Section 2.2 above.

Ground EMI Check  
The following procedure is to be performed to verify that no interference is noted through  
the use of the XMD076A system on other aircraft systems and vice-versa. The operation  
of the XMD076A system shall not result in NAV flags, constant location lightning strikes  
on any installed Stormscope, noise on COMM channels, or other phenomena.  
A ground test should be adequate for the XMD076A since it operates the same in flight.  
If some aircraft systems cannot be verified on the ground, a flight test may be required.  
Operate the aircraft systems as listed below and check the operation of both that system  
and the XMD076A system.  
NOTE:  
The XMC050 wireless controller is designed to conserve battery power and will enter  
power-save mode if no key presses have been made for 30-seconds. During aircraft  
system checks, press any key such as the “MEMORY” key as required to keep the  
XMC050 in an active mode.  
A. Comm Radios:  
1. Scan through radio channels to ensure there is no interference caused by the  
XMD076A and XMC050 controller.  
2. Check local ground and tower frequencies to ensure there is no break in squelch  
caused by the installation.  
3. Monitor the signal strength values of the XMD076A on the MFD (refer to Sec.  
3.2.2 above) and transmit on various frequencies.  
B. GPS:  
1. Ensure the correct position is displayed.  
2. Verify no change in GPS signal strength with the XMD076A powered ON and  
OFF.  
C. Autopilot:  
1. Ensure the autopilot self-test passes OK with the XMD076A and XMC050  
controller operating.  
D. Other Aircraft Systems:  
1. Verify that there is no adverse effect on flight instruments with the XMD076A  
operating.  
2. Operate other aircraft systems, especially radio transmitters, while monitoring the  
XM signal strength values of the XMD076A on the MFD and XMC050 controller.
