2.2
2.2.1
Extreme care
when
unpacking the equipment. Visual inspection
of
the equipment
for
evidence
of
damage incurred during
shipment.
Any
claim should be
promtly
filed
with
the
transportation
company.
Save the shipping container
to
subtantiate the claim. Retain the container and packaging
material
for
possible
future
use.
MECHANICALINSTALIATION
The
AK-950
is designed
with
the installer in mind. Ali
accessories
which
are required
for
completing system
installation are provided, including Pre-fabricated Wiring Cable
Assembly.
EOUIPMENT LOCATION
The
AK-950
must
be
mounted
as
close
to
the
pilot's
field
of
view
as
possible. The preferable location is near the HSI 1CDI
that
will
be displaying the
FPS
information.
The
unit
depth,
with
connecter
atttached,
must
also be taken
into
consideration.
Avoid
mounting
close
to
heater vents
or
other high heat
sources.
The indicator is secured in place behind the panel since
it
is
designed
for
rear
mount
only. Make a panel
cutout
as
shown
in Figure
2-1.
Secure the
indicator
in place
with
four
4-40
x
3/8
to
1
.0"
flat
head phillips
screws.
2.2.2
COOLING
No direct cooling is required.
As
with
any electronic
equipment, overall reliability
may
be increased
if
the
AK-950
is
not
located near any high heat source
or
crowded
next
to
ether
equipment. Means
of
providing a gentle air
flow
will
be a plus.
