GENERAL

This section contains information and instructions for the correct installation of the  TAC-

 Dual Audio Controller.

Make certain that the unit is correctly operating in accordance with the equipment user’s
requirements prior to releasing the equipment for service.

2 . 2

EQUIPMENT PACKING LOG

Unpack the equipment and check for any damage that may have  occured  during transit.
Save the original shipping container for returns due to damage or warranty claims. Check

that each item on the packing slip has been shipped in the container. Verify that the

equipment’s backlighting configuration is the same as that required.

2 . 3

WIRING REQUIREMENTS

Airframe wiring should be MS22759 Tefzel or Raychem 44  (81044)  single conductor and

shielded wire. Heatshrink solder sleeves (such as Raychem or equivalent) should be utilized
for shield termination.

All Microphone audio input line connections should be made with Shielded Cables. Audio
output lines may be twisted pairs. The power cables should be a minimum of  #22  AWG.

Keying lines may be  #24  AWG

DO NOT bundle low level audio lines with RF coaxial cables, motor, pump or blower wiring

which can cause coupling between the various systems, especially during RF transmission
or pump\blower mechanical operation. Maintain as much distance as possible from these
types of wire bundles.
