INSTALLATION GUIDE
The following instructions are for fitting the antenna to a metal-skinned
aircraft. If you are fitting the antenna to a composite aircraft, you must
add a metallic ground plane of not less than 150 cm2(24 square inches)
behind the antenna and the aircraft skin.
1. The mounting location
should be on the underside
of the aircraft at least 46 cm
from any other metal
protrusions and on as flat a
surface as possible.
2. Drill a mounting hole (see
options shown) through the
aircraft skin at the desired
location. Remove all burrs
from around edge of the
hole to allow proper seating
of the moisture seal.
3. Disassemble the antenna,
by removing the hex nut,
lock washer and nameplate
as show in the illustration.
4. Insert the antenna through
the mounting hole from the
outside of the aircraft.
5. Slide nameplate and lock
washer over the BNC
connector of the antenna
from the inside of the
aircraft. Thread the hex nut
onto the BNC connector and
tighten securely.
6. Connect the antenna to the
transponder using a cable
with a BNC type connector attached (not supplied).
