CAUTION: MANY ORIGINAL ELT INSTALLATIONS ARE INADEQUATE AS FAR AS UNIT LOCATION AND
SURFACE RIGIDITY ARE CONCERNED. BECAUSE OF THE CRITICAL FUNCTION AN ELT
PERFORMS, IT IS IMPORTANT THE INSTALLATION FOLLOWS THE INSTRUCTIONS AND
RECOMMENDATIONS HEREIN.
CAUTION: THE MOUNTING SURFACE MUST BE EXTREMELY RIGID; THEREFORE, MOUNTING AN ELT
DIRECTLY TO THE AIRCRAFT SKIN IS UNACCEPTABLE. MOUNTING THE ELT DIRECTLY TO
THE AIRCRAFT SKIN IN
DUCES “CRASH
HIDING” VIBRATIONS
AND PROVIDES A VERY
POOR MOUNTING SURFACE.
CAUTION: AVOID LOCATING THE ELT WHERE IT WILL BE SUBJECTED TO UNPROTECTED EXPOSURE
TO HARSH CHEMICAL FLUIDS SUCH AS DEICING COMPOUNDS. THESE TYPES OF
CHEMICAL FLUIDS CAN PROMOTE CRACKING AND FRACTURING OF THE ELT MOUNTING
FRAME AND HOUSING COMPONENTS BY DEGRADING THE STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY OF
THESE COMPONENTS. THESE SAME CHEMICAL AGENTS MAY ALSO CAUSE CORROSION
OF ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS.
