The following important issues regarding the WSI Broadcast Datalink Receiver AV-300/350,
Avidyne Part Number 700-00159-( ), installation should be noted during the planning stages.
See Section 2 for additional information:
1.
These installation instructions assume that the processor and antenna can be
installed in a structurally sound manner in accordance with the installation
manual and FAA Advisory Circular 43.13.
2.
Mounting the antenna on composite and pressurized aircraft requires
engineering guidance beyond the scope of this manual. With respect to the STC,
the physical mounting of the antenna is specifically excluded from the approval in
the case of installations on the pressure vessel of pressurized aircraft, composite
aircraft, and aircraft with a certification basis of Amendment 23-45 or later. All
early amendment, metal construction, non-pressurized aircraft antenna
installations must be installed consistent with accepted industry practices. The
installation must be structurally sound and in accordance with FAA Advisory
Circular 43.13-1B and 43.13-2B.
3.
An Electrical Load Analysis must be accomplished to determine that the
electrical limits of the specific aircraft are not exceeded. The Electrical Load
Analysis, Functional Hazard Assessment and other certification requirements for
the aircraft must remain in compliance.
4.
Avidyne Part Number 700-00159-( ) conforms to the requirements of Technical Standard
Order (TSO) Authorization, TSO-C157.
5.
The AV-300/350 receiver may be mounted in either a vertical or horizontal orientation.
6.
The AV-300/350 is mounted with integral flanges.
7.
The AV-300/350 receiver needs to be well grounded to the airframe. Section 2 has
detailed instructions about proper connection.
8.
Do not connect this device to the essential electrical bus.
9.
The remote control antenna is mounted within the cabin at a location with an
unobstructed line of sight to the location(s) where the remote control will be used. An
obstruction would consist of parts or surfaces that might interfere with radio frequency
communications such as metallic parts or surfaces.
