INSTALLATION
Microair Avionics recommends that the EC2002 be typically positioned on the fire wall behind the instrument
panel. If this position is not possible, the EC2002 can be attached to any flat surface, or purpose made bracket,
and retained with 3mm (1/8”) hardware via the holes (8) in the mounting plate. The EC2002 should be
supported by a minimum of two points on the mounting flanges.
IMPORTANT NOTE
No additional holes are to be drilled into the case for the purpose of mounting.
Microair recommends that the installer should consider the fact that the encoder may have to be dismounted
to allow for recalibration periodically. The retaining hardware should be easy to remove, or the HIGH and
LOW key holes should be accessible in the installed position.

Physical Requirements
The EC2002 may be installed in either a pressurised or non-pressurised cabin. The EC2002 should however
ideally be located:
•
In an area where the temperature can be reasonably controlled
•
Away from cold air vents
•
Away from heater elements or hot air vents
•
Away from coaxial cables
IMPORTANT NOTE
The EC2002 may NOT be installed with the DB-15 connector and NPT fitting facing
upwards, to negate the possibility of lint and dust corrupting the connections.
