HARNESS VERIFICATION 

 

With the TI500 Static Inverter disconnected, activate the aircraft power bus that supplies the 
unit and use an multi-meter to verify that aircraft power and ground with appropriate voltage 

is on the pins within the mating harness.

MOUNTING 

 
Refer to Section 2: Pre-Installation Considerations in regards to equipment location. 

 

The TI500 Static Inverter is designed for base mounting only.  Four #10-32 mounting holes should be 

provided in the aircraft in accordance with Figure 3.5. If installing the TI500 as a replacement for legacy 

static inverters, an optional Mounting Adapter Kit adapter plate is available to utilize the same mounting 

hole locations. See figure 3.6 for mounting hole locations using the Mounting Adapter Kit and Section 3.2 
for the Mounting Adapter Kit part number. Secure the unit with four #10-32 pan head phillips screws or 

equivalent. A lock washer under the head of each screw is recommended.

INSTALLATION COMPLETION 

 

Prior to operating the unit in the aircraft, it is recommended to verify the output and functionality of the 
unit. In order to prevent accidental damage to other systems, it is best not attach the output to other 

equipment or power busses prior to verification. Verify the output of the unit at the terminating end of 

the cable with a multimeter to ensure proper voltage and polarity. Once verified, installation can be 

completed and functionality of the remote on/off feature (if used) should be checked.
