Installation Instructions
A. Important Information and Initial Check Out:
A.
The installer and aircraft owner must read the Warranty before starting the installation.
There is
information in the Warranty that may alter your decision to install this device.
If you do not accept the
terms of the Warranty, do not install this device.
B
. If you are not an FAA Certified Aircraft Mechanic familiar with the issues of installing aircraft
Intercoms and/or Audio Panels , Do Not attempt to install this device. The installer should use
current aircraft standards and practices to install this unit (refer to AC 43.13-2A).
C. This device's installation could be considered a minor alteration (as is true for clocks, radios, intercoms,
headsets, audio panels, encoders, etc.). Installation of this device can be accomplished utilizing FAA
acceptable methods, techniques and practices covered under AC 43.13-2A. This is a requirement under
FAR Part 1 to qualify as a minor alteration. This instrument does not "appreciably" effect weight and
balance or electrical load as described in FAR Part 1 and FAR 43 Appendix A (another requirement to
qualify as a minor alteration). The AV-17 meet the environmental requirements of DO-160C. The AV-17
is manufactured in Electronics International's FAA PMA/TSO approved manufacturing facility. The STC
for each appropriate Electronics International instrument allows for the connection of the AV-l7 to that
instrument. If the installer determines that installing this device is a minor alteration, he/she must note it
as such in the aircraft log book. Example:
"3/28/97 Installed Electronics International's AV-17 as a
minor alteration. This device was installed in accordance with Installation Instructions II 0428971
dated 4/28/97 and AC 43.13-2A."
A minor alteration does not require a 337.
Resolve any possible
FAA approval issues prior to starting the installation.
D.
Read these Installation Instructions in their entirety and resolve any issues you may have before
starting the installation. This may eliminate any delays once the installation is started.
E.
THIS INSTALLATION MAY REQUIRE SOME PARTS UNIQUE TO YOUR AIRCRAFT THAT
ARE NOT SUPPLIED IN THE KIT.
Read the Installation Instructions and acquire all the parts neces-
sary to install this instrument before starting the installation.
F. Before starting the installation make sure the Control Panel and Switch will fit within the intended location
and can be installed without obstructing the operation of any controls.
G. The AV-17 was designed to be connected to a standard 500 ohm aircraft audio system. An intercom or
audio panel is not necessary to allow the AV-17 to operate properly.
