1.2 CAUTION
The TXA201 Triaxial Accelerometer can be damaged by static electricity. Observe ESD
(electrostatic discharge) procedures when handling the unit.
Verify that power and ground leads are terminated correctly in the mating connector
before applying power to the unit. Damage to the internal components may occur if power
is applied incorrectly.
Cap the electrical connector when the accelerometer is disconnected or not installed.
Failure to follow these precautions may void the equipment warranty.
1.3 IDENTIFICATION

An identifying placard is affixed to the accelerometer prior to delivery. The placard
includes a serial number of the format ”0000” with the serial number of the first unit
being 1001.
The placard also serves as an anti-tamper device. The placard is installed over one of
the assembly screws. Removing or damaging the placard to access the screw will void
the equipment warranty.

Mounting
The TXA201 is designed to meet ARINC 542A mounting specifications and attaches with
four (4) #10 Pan Head Steel Fasteners. This equipment may be installed in a
compartment that is non-pressurized and not temperature-controlled.
Alignment
The unit should be mounted with base of the accelerometer facing down on flat and level
(within 4 degrees), rigid aircraft structure. Shock mounts or vibration dampeners should
not be used when mounting this unit. Ensure the alignment notch (R.20 in Figure 3 below)
is facing forward. Verify alignment using the arrows on the identification placard.
