2.6 DISPLAY/PROCESSOR LOCATION
The display/processor should be mounted in a location easily accessible and clearly visible to the pilot. In
selecting a location, consider the following:
Panel Depth Adequate depth must be available behind the instrument panel to allow for
the display, the mating connector assembly, and excess display cable.
Remember, a service loop is necessary to allow access to the display
connector when removing or inserting it into the instrument panel.
Cooling While the display has no special cooling requirements, it should be mounted
to permit adequate air circulation. Allow at least ¼ inch of clearance above
and below the instrument for air circulation.
Viewing Angle The viewing angle for the display is not a critical factor. The most favorable
mounting position would be near eye level and no more than arms length
from the principal user of the instrument.
Readability The display is designed to provide sufficient luminance to be readable in
environments exposed to direct sunlight.
2.7 CABLE REQUIREMENTS AND FABRICATION
NOTES
1.
All wiring must be in accordance with industry accepted methods,
techniques and practices.
2. The length and routing of the external cables must be carefully
studied and planned before attempting installation of the equipment.
3. Use of any cable not meeting Goodrich Avionics Systems specifications
voids all warranties.
4. All system cables are terminated at the mating connector assembly
(see paragraph 2.8).
Appendix A defines the electrical characteristics of all input and output signals and identifies the cable
requirements for each signal. Refer to figure 2-5 for interconnect wiring information. Wire-marking
identification is at the discretion of the installer. The following paragraphs detail specific cable
requirements.
