The VHF transceiver is protected internally by a 5 A resettable fuse.
• Type-specific cable harnesses are also available for the aircraft wiring
(contact BECKER for detailed information).
• No RF antenna cables or HF cables should be included in the cable
harnesses of the system. Avoid routing of the cable loom along with other
wiring, which carry audio power or pulses.
• Check the wiring carefully before powering up the unit and check
particularly that power supply lines have not been reversed.
Installation of 620X transceivers requires correct wiring and configuration.
All necessary information for common installations including wiring diagrams
and recommended installation setup configurations are provided in 2.9.

2.6 Antenna Installation
The transceiver requires a standard 50 Ohm vertically polarized VHF antenna.
Follow the antenna manufacturer's installation instructions. In addition
consider the following recommendations:
• The COM antenna shall be on an electrical conductive surface or, on a
ground plane with sufficient area of approximately 60 x 60 cm installed.
(VSWR ≤ 3:1)
• The COM antenna should be separated from any installed GPS antennas by at
least 50cm and as far as possible separated from any ELT antenna
installed.
Note: Some ELTs have exhibited re-radiation problems generating harmonics
that may cause interference with other receivers like GPS. This can
happen when the transceiver or other COMM devices are transmitting on
certain frequencies such as 121.5 MHz or 121.175 MHz, which may cause
the ELT output circuit to auto-oscillate.
