Microair recommends that the EC2002 and the aircraft’s altimeter be the first two items plumbed on to the
static line. This will make isolating the rest of the aircraft easy to do when the system requires a calibration
check. Refer to section 5.0 for field calibration.
Prior to installation, it may be necessary to remove the top cover and set
the serial data output switches for the correct data format and resolution.
The switch settings have no effect on the Gillham output lines.
Refer to section 4.0 for format details.
After installing, remove the dust plug from the NPT fitting, and connect the static hose line ensuring the NPT
connector is sealed using thread tape or an appropriate sealer (not silicone). Connect the wiring harness
terminated with a DB-15 from the transponder, to the DB-15 fitting adjacent to the NPT fitting on the EC2002.
Ensure that the DB-15 thumbscrews are secured to the hex-nuts on the EC2002’s case.
