1.1 Introduction
This manual contains information on the RS16 Series Remote Switch.
Information in this section consists of purpose of equipment, features and specifications.
1.2 Purpose of Equipment
The RS16 is a bulkhead mounted, user definable, remote switch used to switch sixteen
signals as one group or as individual groups of four. Dry nitrogen filled, gold contact,
sealed relays provide dry-circuit switching to 0.5A. It is suitable for use up to 35,000 feet.
1.3 Features
The RS16 is designed to switch up to sixteen navigational and/or audio signals. Each four-
pole relay has its own status annunciation for fault monitoring. Each relay can be activated
by either voltage or ground keying, and has an independent ILS reversion logic switch.
Circuit boards are constructed of G10-FR (flame retardant) material, with solder masks
and reflowed tin plating; they are environmentally protected with conformal coating.
