Aetos Installation Manual 1. Introduction
1 Introduction
First of all we would like to thank you for purchasing our product. Aetos
is a complex instrument and we strongly recommend reading manuals before
installation. You may be interested in reading:
 Aetos Installation Manual (this manual),
 Aetos User’s Manual,
 DAQU Installation Manual,
 MAGU Manual,
 Autopilot Installation Manual,
 our web page www.kanardia.eu.
This manual assumes that you are familiar with the Aetos user interface
system.
1.1 Icons Used Trough the Manual
A few icons appear on the side of the manual, which have special meanings:
This icon denotes information that needs to be taken with special
attention. An injury or even death is possible if instructions are
not obeyed.
Failing to follow the instructions may lead to the equipment dam-
age.
This icon denotes background information about the subject.
This icon denotes a tip.
1.2 Warnings
The following warnings and limitations apply during installation.
 Software based fuel flow and software based fuel level can be very danger-
ous and misleading. They affect also range and endurance calculation.
Never trust any of these values. Make sure that you have some reliable
way to check the actual fuel level during the flight.

Aetos Installation Manual 2. Display Installation
 Before installing the instrument, you shall carefully read and understand
this manual and any other supplementing manual.
 The manual is not a substitute for an approved aircraft specific main-
tenance manual, installation or design drawing. Attempting to install
Aetos and corresponding equipment by reference to this manual only
(without planning or designing an installation specific to aircraft) may
compromise the safety and is not recommended.
2 Display Installation
This section covers the installation of the Aetos display.
2.1 Placement Consideration
There are several consideration which affect the display position on the in-
strument panel.
 The display must be in direct view field of the pilot without any ob-
structions.
 The display supports landscape orientation only. Portrait orientation is
not possible.
 The display has a modest power consumption. It is cooled trough top
and bottom openings in the housing. Please make sure that cooling air
will be able to circulate trough the housing openings.
 Avoid to place the display next to the heater vents or into any kind of
direct stream of hot air.
 Monitor the internal display temperature. It must not exceed maximal
internal rated temperature of the display. If this temperature comes
close or even exceeds maximal rated temperature, a cooling system must
be built into the instrument panel compartment, to keep the compart-
ment temperatures low enough.
 The display housing extends behind instrument panel and some extra
space must also allocated for the connectors, cables and tubes. See
Figure 1 for more details.
