3.3 INSTALLATION
The TDFM-7000 Transceiver is designed to be Dzus mounted and should be installed in
conjunction with an IN-7000 installation kit. See Figure 3.1 for an outline drawing of the
unit with dimensions to facilitate the installation.
3.4 INSTALLATION KIT - CONTENTS
The IN-7000 installation kit (P/N 069662-1) consists of:
1.
One 25 pin Cannon D mating connector (female) complete with crimp pins and
hood.
2.
One 9 pin Cannon D mating connector (female) complete with crimp pins and hood.
3.
4 BNC connectors.
3.5 ANTENNA INSTALLATION
The type and number of antennas depends on the model of transceiver being installed. The
following is a list of recommended antennas for the various RF modules:
VHF
136 to 174 MHz
Comant part # CI-292-3 or -4
UHFLO
403 to 470 MHz
Comant part # CI-275
UHFHI
450 to 512 MHz
Comant part # CI-275
UHFHI (II)
450 to 520 MHz
Comant part # CI-285
800
806 to 870 MHz
Comant part # CI-306
800/700 (II) 764 to 870 MHz
Comant part # CI-285
Type II (II) modules have a wider bandwidth in some cases. If this communications are
going to occur in this wider bandwidth area, the antennas with wider coverage should be
used.
The antenna should be mounted on the bottom of the aircraft whenever possible. Consult
with instructions provided with the antenna. Connect the RF cables to the back of the
transceiver using the MALE BNC connectors provided in the installation kit. It is possible to
use equivalent 50 ohm aviation antennas that cover the appropriate bandwidths.
