Eventide ARGUS 5000 - Installation Overview and Guidelines

Installation Overview and Guidelines
Installation Overview
Installing the Argus requires three distinct steps:
KJ
1: MECHANICAL installation, in which the Argus is mounted to the aircraft panel
in an appropriate location,
2: ELECTRICAL installation, in which the Argus is connected to aircraft power and
interfaced to the instrument(s) from which it derives information.
3: SETUP, in which the Argus software is instructed as to the type and configuration
of instruments, switches, etc., from which it is deriving information. (SETUP is
covered earlier in this section.)
Mechanical Installation
The Argus should be installed where the pilot can see it most easily. Ideally, it should
i) be in his direct field of view. If it is to be certified for use as an ADF indicator
replacement, it MUST be in his direct field of view. If at all possible, mount the Argus
in the panel at or near the top row of instruments, and as close to the center of the
cluster as possible. Avoid mounting the Argus immediately adjacent to electrically-
powered Turn-and-Bank indicators, WX1000 Stormscope displays, or other
instruments that have strong external magnetic fields.
Electrical Installation
First, determine the instruments to which the Argus will be interfaced. On the
Standard Installation worksheet, write the name of the manufacturer, instrument
model, and type of data expected in the appropriate boxes. Note that some of these
fields may not apply to your particular installation.
Second, refer to the Source Detail pages to determine the connector pin numbers on
the external data sources that correspond to the Argus input data pins, and write those
^-^ numbers in the appropriate boxes. If the connection information is not available on
these sheets, refer to the manual of the instrument in question.
