2-8 SkyView System Installation Guide - Revision K
SV-XPNDR-26X
The SV-XPNDR-26X Mode S transponder module is designed to be mounted in any convenient
location in the cockpit, the cabin, or an avionics bay.
The following installation procedure should be followed, remembering to allow adequate space
for installation of cables and connectors:
Select a position in the aircraft that is not too close to any high external heat source.
(The SV-XPNDR-26X is not a significant heat source itself and does not need to be kept
away from other devices for this reason).
Avoid sharp bends and placing the cables too near to the aircraft control cables.
Secure the mounting tray to the aircraft via the three (3) mounting holes in the tray.
The tray should be mounted to a flat surface - it is important that the tray is supported
at the dimples as well as the three mounting points.
Put the SV-XPNDR-26X transponder into the secured mounting tray by hooking the
connector end under the lip on the tray.
Lock the SV-XPNDR-26X transponder into the mounting tray by clipping the retaining
wire over the lugs on the opposite end.
Cooling Requirements
The SV-XPNDR-26X Mode S transponder meets all applicable ETSO/TSO requirements without
forced air-cooling.
Attention should however be given to the incorporation of cooling provisions to limit the
maximum operating temperature if the SV-XPNDR-26X is installed in close proximity to other
avionics. The reliability of equipment operating in close proximity in an avionics bay can be
degraded if adequate cooling is not provided.
SV-BAT-320
Observe the following guidelines when choosing a location for an SV-BAT-320:
There can be only one battery per display. Do not connect a battery to more than one
display.
Location should be near the display.
Do not add more wire into the backup battery wire bundle.
Avoid locations that are subject to severe vibration.
Avoid locations that are subject to extended temperature ranges. The battery module
has a narrower operating temperature range than other SkyView modules.
Avoid locations that are subject to extreme humidity.
Leave room for electrical connections.
