JA34-BT1 Universal Radio Adapter with Bluetooth®
Installation and Operating Manual
Rev D Page 5
Allow 3” from the end of the shielded wiring to the shield termination to allow the connector hood to be easily installed.
Refer to the Interconnect drawing in Appendix A of this manual for shield termination details. Note that this unit has a
‘clamshell’ hood that is installed after the wiring is complete.
Maintain wire segregation and route wiring in accordance with the original aircraft manufacturer’s maintenance
instructions.
Unless otherwise noted, all wiring shall be a minimum of 24 AWG, except power and ground lines, which shall be a
minimum of 22 AWG. Refer to the Interconnect drawing for additional specifications. Check that the ground
connection is clean and well secured, and that it shares no path with any electrically noisy aircraft accessories such
as blowers, turn-and-bank instruments, or similar loads.
2.4.3 Mechanical Installation
The JA34-BT1 can be mounted in any attitude and location with adequate space and sufficient clearance for the
connector and wiring harness. It requires no direct cooling. Ensure all JA34-BT1 units are installed with at least
