EQUIREMENTS
The D1000C has very low power usage so forced air cooling is not required for any
of the components. However, units should be kept away from heat sources.

NTERFACES
The D1000C operates independent of aircraft navigation systems. Therefore, no
aircraft interface is required other than the 10-33Vdc Power Input, Power Return and
Chassis Ground.
Power Input
The only component of the D1000C requiring aircraft power is the Modem Unit.
The D1000C power interface supports wide voltage input in the range of 10V to 33V
DC. The following input connections are the most commonly used:
•
28 VDC nominal, typically less than 1A
•
12 VDC nominal, typically less than 2A
A single 3-amp circuit breaker is recommended to protect the aircraft power
distribution system. See the section of the Modem Unit installation or the D1000C
Modem Unit Equipment Specification & Drawing for details.
