2.4.1 Warnings
N/A
2.4.2 Cautions
CAUTION:
Do not bundle any lines from this unit with transmitter coax lines. Do not
bundle any logic or DC power lines from this unit with 400 Hz synchro wiring
or AC power lines. Do not position this unit next to any device with a strong
alternating magnetic field such as an inverter, motor or blower
.
CAUTION:
Do not install the LD12-002 without making a suitable amendment to the flight
manual indicating how the NAV annunciation and dimming/ test functions
have been implemented in the aircraft.
CAUTION:
Ensure that no press-to test lamp holders with incandescent lamps have been
used in the aircraft. These can cause the line(s) to be shorted to ground,
which may damage the internal circuitry of the LD12-002.
2.4.3 Cabling and Wiring
Note: In order to minimize wiring, the unit should be located close to the annunciators it will be dimming.
It should not be mounted near hot air paths, as substantial heat dissipation is required.
All wire shall be selected in accordance with the original aircraft manufacturer's Maintenance Instructions
or AC43.13-1B Change 1, Paragraphs 11-76 through 11-78. Unshielded wire types shall qualify to
MIL-W-22759 as specified in AC43.13-1B Change 1, Paragraphs 11-85, 11-86, and listed in Table 11-11.
For shielded wire applications, use Tefzel MIL-C-27500 shielded wire with solder sleeves (for shield
terminations) to make the most compact and easily terminated interconnect. Follow the interconnect
drawing in Section 2.7 as required.
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 Section 2.7 for shield termination details. Note that
the hood is a 'clamshell' hood, and is installed after the wiring is complete.
Maintain wire segregation and route wiring in accordance with the original aircraft manufacturers
Maintenance Instructions.
Unless otherwise noted, all wiring shall be a minimum of 22 AWG, except power and ground lines, which
shall be a minimum of 20 AWG. Reference 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. Power to this unit must
be supplied from a separate circuit breaker or fuse (fast blow), and not attached to any other circuit
breaker without additional protection. Verify that the selected circuit breaker size and wire gauge are
adequate for the installation using the techniques specified in AC43.13-1B Change 1, Paragraphs 11-47
through 11-51 and 11-66 through 11-69.
