Setup and verify operation of the TT391 Flightline Tester:
a. Open the chassis lid and remove the lid from the chassis by sliding the lid off of the hinge pins
(sliding it to the right). The lid "stay" must be removed from the lid before mounting. The stay
will pop off of the lid. (The stay is the hinged part that props the lid open on the chassis).
NOTE

be held, or secured, and pointed towards the SKY899 aircraft under test
WITH THE MOUNTING STUD POINT TOWARD THE GROUND

This
orientation is critical
b. Mount the chassis lid, with the Patch Antenna facing the aircraft, onto a tripod (not included).
The tripod must be capable of holding the antenna (approximately 2.5 lb.) and must provide a
standard base mounting stud threaded 1/4"-20. A typical tripod mount is shown in
.
