General Safety Precautions
CAUTION:
The two central connectors (50-pin MDR) of the MT-
VisionAir X ETSO are connected identically; strictly
avoid using both at the same time!
This could cause severe damage of the device.
Never disconnect the conducting connector during operation.
This could cause severe damage of the device.
Never store the device into the transport case when
equipped with battery packs.
This could cause overheating.
Always take care to allow sufcient ventilation of the
device when mounted.
Otherwise overheating could occur.
•
•
•
•
Always connect
ONLY ONE of
these connectors.

1. General information for Operating a MT-VisionAir X ETSO
MT-VisionAir X ETSO was designed to be installed and operated as a panel
mounted device, but can easily be removed for ight planning.
MT-VisionAir X ETSO is equally suited as a hand-held device.
Fig. 1.1: MT-VisionAir X ETSO Panel mount installation in Piper JetProp
The Easy mount is permanently installed in the panel. The MT-VisionAir X
ETSO slides into the Easy mount, but can easily be removed for ight planning,
updates of the navigation data or charts, etc.

Following installation, an EMI test has to be performed in the aircraft. Prior
to the rst ight it is mandatory to turn on the system and check cockpit
instruments for deviations from normal performance.

3. Installation of MT-VisionAir X ETSO
3.1 Installation of Easy mount in the cockpit panel
For installation of the MT-VisionAir X ETSO an Easy mount is used.
Choose the installation location according to requirement of application or
preferences:
in the cockpit panel
in other locations, e.g. the yoke.
3.1.1 Choosing the best location
The MT-VisionAir X ETSO should be easily visible during ight.
Choose the optimum readability angle.
Refer to the following gures showing the dimensions of the Easy mount
(without and with MT-VisionAir X ETSO) before specifying the location of
the panel cutout.

3.1.3 Panel cutout
The Easy mount must be rmly attached to the cockpit panel with screws.
Please use countersunk screws or rivets for installation in the instrument
panel (or onto the angled rail) as space of 158 mm including any protruding
screwheads must remain available for the device.
Panel cutout dimensions:
Width: 157.5 mm minimum (with latches in the rack), 160.5 mm optimum
Height: 128 mm
Depth: 46 mm
(all dimensions incl. 0.5 mm tolerance)
1. Installation for panel clearance of 160.5 mm
Mounting ush with cockpit panel or tilted mounting due to improved readability
angle (e.g. for mounting at co-pilots side).
Fig. 3.1.3 (1): Panel clearance 160.5 mm
2. Installation for panel clearance of 158 mm
Mounting at the rear side of the panel: to ush the unit with the panel relocate
the screws in the side mounting brackets.
