VXP System Maintenance Manual

2-1

2.

Preparation for Use

The VXP basic system consists of the acquisition unit, the display unit, CompactFlash Card
Adapter, Zio! USB CompactFlash Card Reader/Writer, USB Floppy Disk Drive, the printer, and
the cables to connect these pieces. All of the other sensors can be ordered as needed, and
connected as needed. Optional equipment is listed in the introduction. 

Since the VXP can be attached to a variety of aircraft, there is no set installation procedure. Each
aircraft application has specific software with on-line help that includes information on how and
where to connect the various sensors that may be needed. The only part of the installation that is
“standard” is the interconnection between the AU, DU and printer, and the connection to the
aircraft power source. These topics are discussed in this chapter.

2.1 UNPACKING

Follow these steps when unpacking the VXP.

1.

Open shipping container and remove carrying case and accessories.

2.

Open carrying case and remove major components, cables, and accessories.

3.

Check contents of shipping container and carrying case against enclosed Packing 
List.

4.

Carefully unwrap each major component, cable, and accessory.

5.

Check exterior surfaces of each item for scratches, dents, or other damage.

6.

Report all evidence of missing or damaged equipment to Chadwick-Helmuth Co.

2.2 PREPARATION FOR USE

Before using the VXP for the first time, make sure it is in good operating condition by following
the steps below.

2.2.1 Cable Interconnections

Connect the VXP system cables as follows:

1.

Connect the VXP AU to DU Cable to the COM1 connector port on the Display Unit 
(DU) and to the computer connector on the Acquisition Unit. Connect the power 
extension to the power input on the DU.

2.

Connect the VXP AU to DU Cable to the serial port printer. Connect the printer 
power extension to the power input on the printer.
