Unit installation
Figure 1: Locking mechanism location
1. Adjust the locking mechanism on the transponder using a 3/32 hex wrench so that
the front lobe is in a vertical position. Insert the unit by hand until it comes to a stop.
This occurs when the front lobe contacts the clearance slot of the install rack.
2. Tighten the locking mechanism clockwise with the 3/32 hex wrench until it is tight
and the connectors have mated. Do not overtighten. If the mechanism will not
tighten, verify that the transponder is properly seated in the rack. The unit is fully
seated when the unit does not move back when tightening the locking mechanism.
NOTE:
Ensure that the transponder is seated as far back as possible against the
backplate so that there is a secure connection between the transponder and the
connectors.
To remove the Stratus ES/ESG assembly:
Turn the 3/32 hex wrench counter-clockwise on the locking mechanism through the
front of the transponder to loosen the lock until the transponder connectors
disconnect. Keep loosening the unit until it stops sliding out of the install rack. Do not
loosen any further. Pull out the transponder by hand.
2.5.
Cleaning
Use a dry cloth to clean the transponder. If necessary, you can use a lightly damp cloth with a
solution of mild detergent. Do not use cleaners containing ammonia, acetone, or other strong
acids or bases to clean the transponder display or faceplate.
2.6.
Circuit protective device marking
If Stratus ES/ESG is replacing an existing transponder, ensure that the circuit protective device
is sufficiently marked.
If Status ES/ESG is a new installation, ensure that the labeling is in accordance with AC 43.13-
2B, Chapter 2, Section 207, Sub-Section f., Paragraph (4).
