Installation of the canopy-power interface
Only for aircraft with side opening canopies (e.g. Schempp-Hirth). For these aircraft the
canopy contact is a necessary component for operation! Aircraft with forward opening
canopies without canopy contact go to 8.9 "Wiring".
Lay the cable from the canopy flash into the canopy frame
and if necessary, fix it. Make sure to place the power
interface as close as possible to the frame. However, the
3M tape must rest flat on the canopy, without any tilt, to
guarantee a solid bond. Clean the canopy prior attachment
of the canopy-power interface and do not detach it once it
already had contact with the canopy. Loosen the two big
screws just a little bit, so that the canopy-power interface
can be moved smoothly and without big resistance on the
mounting bracket. Now put the plastic template (in the
bag) on the Allen screws of the canopy-power interface
and remove the protection foil of the double-sided tape.
