SECTION 2 PRE-INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS
2.1
COOLING
No external cooling is required. The unit will become warm when in use. This is normal and within
operational parameters. No special mounting considerations are required; however, mounting to a metal
surface can help dissipate any heat generated and extend the life of the product.
2.2
EQUIPMENT LOCATION
The USBT102 Dual USB Charging Port is designed for mounting flexibility, allowing for installation in the
cockpit or in the cabin. It is designed for panel mounting and can be installed in a rectangular or circular
rear mount configuration or, with an available installation kit, can be front mounted with a cosmetic cover
plate. An instrument mounting adapter bracket is also available to easily mount the unit in a standard 2.25
inch round instrument opening that may already exist in the cockpit panel. There are two versions to
choose from which allow the input connector to be located either on the rear of the unit or from the bottom.
The unit can be mounted in any orientation. Clearance should be provided for the mating connector which
may require an additional inch beyond the rear of the unit.
2.3
ROUTING OF CABLES
Avoid sharp bends in cabling and routing near control cables. Avoid close proximity and contact with
vehicle structures, equipment or other obstructions that could chafe wires during operation and cause
undesirable effects.
2.4
MODIFICATIONS
Each model USBT102 (part number M6430102-( )) has a nameplate that identifies the manufacturer, part
number, description, and technical specifications of the unit. It also includes the “MOD” or modification
number representing notable changes in the hardware design of the unit.
