4.4 Cooling Requirements
The EX500/EX600 includes internal cooling provisions to maximize operational reliability.
➥ Make sure that the air vents located at the rear and sides of the unit/tray assembly are not
obstructed.
4.5 Positioning and Mounting the EX500/EX600 Tray
The unique requirements of your aircraft will determine the specifics of the installation, as shown in
Figure 2. However, make sure that you install the EX500/EX600 with the following clearances:
● Leave four inches (4”) of clearance behind the tray to allow for connector clearance and permit air
circulation through the EX500/EX600.
● Leave a minimum of 1/8” clearance between the tray and other avionics for air circulation
purposes.
● The Avidyne mounting trays provide for a 0.125" clearance between the bezel and mounting tray
(along the sides and top of the tray) to allow for any panel thickness.
