Installation instructions:
1. IMPORTANT NOTE:
Consult the attached wiring diagrams to identify wiring connections similar to your
particular installation. Please note, some equipment such as GPS’s and EFIS
systems may be provided with multiple power inputs. For these installations the IPS
system must be connected on the “back-up” power input. It is strongly
recommended that the “main” power input in these installations be provided from the
aircraft avionics bus. The “back-up” power source should be provided through the
IPS system and fed from a bus that is active during engine starting. This will
typically be the master bus. For equipment having a single source of power, ensure
the IPS system is fed from a bus that remains active during engine starting, such as
the master bus.
Garmin 430/530(w) GPS systems are available in versions with and without back-up
power inputs. Consult the Garmin GPS installation manual to determine which
model you are working with, wiring diagrams for connection of each type to the IPS
system are shown at the end of this document.
2. Check the total connected load to be used with the IPS system and ensure that it is
less than the following product ratings.
IPS-24v-5a = 5 amps maximum continuous current, 10 amps peak
3. Mount the IPS power converter in a suitable location in the aircraft. The IPS must be
mounted inside the aircraft, do not mount IPS in the firewall forward area.
4. Connect the aircraft wiring according to the wiring diagrams as shown.
The IPS must be powered through a properly sized circuit breaker or fuse. ENSURE
the proper size wire is utilized for the input feed and ground connection powering the
IPS system Additionally, the output of the IPS must be fused as shown in the wiring
diagrams.
FUSING:
For continuous loads: Input Fuse = 15 amps, Output Fuse= 5 amps
For radios and transient loads: Input Fuse = 20 amps, Output Fuse= 7.5 amps
