Connect the supply terminals to your aircrafts power supply (you need a dropping resistor or pre-
regulator for 24/28V systems). Without pre-regulator the voltage on the power supply connector 
should not exceed 18V. 
Internal protection will cause high current flow if voltage exceeds 33V as the instrument will 
attempt to dump excess voltage. 
Install suitable power supply protection if you have a supply that can contain large voltage 
transients such as can be created by starter motors and solenoids. 
 
Ensure that the supply voltage will not drop below 8V during operation as this may result in 
incorrect altitude readings. 
 
Connect the static port to a suitable static air pressure line. If you have a slow aircraft or an 
aircraft were the internal cabin pressure does not change during flight and is equivalent to the 
outside air pressure you may find that it is not required to connect a static port. 
 
For installations in typical ultralight aircraft pods, be aware of possible pressure changes inside 
the pod during flight caused by ram air or suction effects. This may lead to a false indication of 
altitude. Often these effects are dependent on the current angle of attack of the airflow around 
your pod. You will need to install a suitable static port in these cases.
