Cable Installation
Cables must be correctly installed for optimum system operation. Therefore,
the following should be noted:
• Do not route an L-Band receiver remote antenna cable with the cabling of
any other radio system. This may cause interference between both
systems.
• If at all possible, do not run L-Band receiver antenna cables parallel to
other radio system cabling closer than 30 centimetres.
• If cables must cross, ensure that they cross at an angle of
90°. This minimises the possibility of interference.
• As far as is practicable, ensure that cables and I/O connectors are unique
and fit only in their allocated location.
• Avoid routing cables along-side power generator cabling and other high
electrical noise sources. This can cause interference.
• Do not kink cables or force cables into sharp bends that may damage the
cables and cause system failure.
• After installation, ensure that excess cable is looped and clamped or tied
safely away from any control cables, fuel lines, hydraulic lines or moving
parts.
• When stowing over length cabling, form loops not less than 150 mm
minimum cable bend radius.
• Cable routing must avoid high temperature exposure
(e.g. exhaust manifold).
