IFR 6000 Ramp Test Set

The IFR 6000 is a compact, lightweight and weatherproof unit designed for testing transponder
modes A/C/S, TCAS I and II as well as DME.

• One main user screen for each test mode

• Detachable antenna
• Large display
• Simple user interface
• Lightweight and compact <8 lbs. (3.6 kg)
• Battery 6 hours plus duration
• Fully FAR part 43 appendix F compliant
• European Elementary and Enhanced
Surveillance

The IFR 6000 features an extremely easy to use

interface where every parameter the user com-
monly needs to view is displayed on screen.
Controls
Dedicated Mode keys for XPDR, DME and TCAS
allow quick selection of the operational mode.
