AR6610T Receiver Installation
For optimum RF link performance, mount the antennas for optimal signal
reception accounting for all possible aircraft attitudes and positions. Orient the
antennas perpendicular to each other; typically vertical and horizontal and at
different angles.
Optional SRXL2 Remote Receiver Antenna (not included):
If using the
optional SRXL2 remote receiver antenna, apply double-sided foam tape and
mount it perpendicular to and at least 2 inches away from the main receiver’s
antenna.
Airplanes with signifi cant carbon fi ber construction can create an RF shielding
effect, reducing range. The AR6610T is designed to overcome these critical RF
issues in carbon airplanes by outfi tting the aircraft with two external antennas at
specifi c points that will ensure secure RF coverage from all angles of the aircraft.
The AR6610T incorporates two feeder antennas; one antenna is 6.10 inches
(155 mm) and the second antenna is 7.32 inches (186 mm). They are designed
to be easily mounted through the fuselage in carbon airplanes. Each feeder
antenna includes a coaxial portion and an exposed 31mm tip antenna. The last
31mm is the active portion of the antenna.
Installing the Receiver
Install the receiver in the normal position recommended by the airplane’s
manufacturer. Double-sided tape or foam can be used to secure the receiver
in place.
Tip:
The hard case can be removed to help the AR6610T fi t into a slim, car-
bon fuselage. It is recommended to cover the bare receiver in heat shrink.
Mounting the Antennas
To install the antennas, drill two 1/16-inch holes in the desired antenna
mounting positions.
