The front bezel of the RCD can be customized to match the interior style of any
aircraft. This includes plating and painting to match aircraft interiors.
AI source equipment is configured to accept digital infrared commands. Digital
codes allow the source equipment to interface with an infrared handheld remote
control (AI-RC1-17xxxx) via infrared receiver, IFR-9A. Multiple units can be
controlled independently using available programming pins. The infrared code
allows up to four (4) similar devices to be used in the same system while
maintaining independent control. To install multiple units, contact Audio

2.0 Installation
2.1
Prior to Installation
The RCD is a simple AM-FM compact disc player to use and install. The RCD is
capable of accepting infrared digital input and/or a RS-485 two-wire digital data
bus input. All audio input and output cables on the unit should be twisted
shielded pair (24 AWG minimum) unless otherwise specified. The unit must be
attached to conform to the standards designated by the customer, installing
agency, and existing conditions as to the unit location and type of installation.
The following should be carefully considered before installing:
2.1.1 Select a mounting location for the unit where 28 VDC power and audio
signal has been previously installed. Long low-level runs may introduce
noise into the audio signal. Refer to Section 5.0 Specifications and
Drawings for location of mounting points.
2.1.2 Locate the unit to allow easy audio level adjustments. Level adjustment
controls are located on the rear of the unit. These adjustment level
controls must be accessible for periodic system adjustments.
2.1.3 All headphone amplifiers and line level amplifiers should be located no
more than three feet away from source equipment.
2.1.4 Avoid installing the unit where it will be exposed to excessive heat,
excessive moisture, splashing liquids, dusty areas, direct sunlight, or
angled/inclined installations.
2.1.5 A minimum of 2.5 inches clearance is required in front of the CD slot.
When the CD is ejected, it will project approximately 2.25 inches.
