1.1.6 Material Handling Precautions: Fasteners

DANGER

Foreign Object Damage - FOD

This equipment may contain fasteners that may come loose - torque properly.

• Only use fasteners of the same type as the one originally supplied with the equipment.
• Use of incorrect combination of gaskets, bolts and nuts can create severe damages to the product

installation and create safety risk .

• You need to know what base the light fixture will be installed in, in order to chose the correct gasket,

bolts and nuts.

• Bolt type, length, and torque value are determined by type of base, height of spacers used, and clamp

force required in FAA Engineering Brief No 83 (latest revision).

• Due to the risk of bolts vibrating loose, do not use any type of washer with the fixing bolts (such as

split lock washers) other than an anti-vibration washer. Anti-vibration washers as defined in FAA EB

83 (latest edition) must be used. For installations other than FAA, use the base can manufacturer's

recommendations.

• Always tighten the fasteners to the recommended torque. Use a calibrated torque wrench and apply

the recommended adhesive type.

• Obey the instructions of the adhesives necessary for the fasteners.

Failure to follow these warnings may cause the fasteners to loosen, damage the equipment,

potentially to loosen the equipment. This can lead to a highly dangerous situation of FOD, with

potential lethal consequences.

Note

To minimize the risk of errors, the ADB SAFEGATE Sales Representative will have information on which gasket goes

with which base. This information is also provided in the product Data sheets, the User Manuals and the Spare Part

Lists.

CAUTION

Use of incorrect combination of gaskets, bolts and nuts can create severe damages to the product installation and

create multiple safety risks.
To obtain a safe and watertight installation the O-ring and retaining bolt stated in the document must be used.
You need to know what base the light fixture will be installed in, in order to choose the correct gasket, bolts and nuts.
Failure to follow these cautions can result in equipment damage or aircraft FOD.

1.1.7 Material Handling Precautions, ESD

CAUTION

Electrostatic Sensitive Devices

This equipment may contain electrostatic devices

• Protect from electrostatic discharge.
• Electronic modules and components should be touched only when this is unavoidable e.g. soldering,

replacement.

• Before touching any component of the cabinet you shall bring your body to the same potential as the

cabinet by touching a conductive earthed part of the cabinet.

• Electronic modules or components must not be brought in contact with highly insulating materials

such as plastic sheets, synthetic fiber clothing. They must be laid down on conductive surfaces.

• The tip of the soldering iron must be grounded.
• Electronic modules and components must be stored and transported in conductive packing.

Failure to follow this instruction can result in equipment damage
