MISCELLANEOUS ITEMS
The following items are required for installation but are
NOT supplied with the IC-A200.
CD VHF air band antenna for the communication band.
@ Cables.
<ID Switches are mounted on the aircraft yoke.
@ 500 Q headphones.
(§) Low-impedance carbon or dynamic microphone.
@ Preamplifier for a dynamic microphone.
TRANSCEIVER LOCATION
Select a location which can support the weight of the
transceiver.
NEVER place the transceiver where normal navigation
of the aircraft may be hindered or where it could cause
bodily injury.
NEVER bend the cables sharply or place the cables
too near the aircraft control cables.
DO NOT place the transceiver where hot or cold air
blows directly on it.
AVOID placing the transceiver in areas with temper-
atures below - 20.C or above + 55 .C .
INTERCOM
The intercom function is available by wiring and instal-
ling a yoke-mounted communication/intercom switch.
This function facilitates swift contact between the pilot
and co-pilot. 2-pairs of headphones and microphones
are required for pilot and co-pilot.
BATTERY CONNECTION
NEVER install the transceiver into an aircraft with a
24 V battery. The transceiver operates with 13.8 V DC.
NEVER connect the transceiver to a power source
using reverse polarity. This connection damages the
transceiver.
To prevent voltage drops, solder or crimp the cable lug
when connecting the DC power cable to the power
supply.
ANTENNA
NEVERinstall an antenna near any aircraft projec-
tion, engine or propeller.
Use a 50 Q , vertically-polarized, VHF air band antenna.
VSWR should be less than 3: 1.
Mount the antenna on a flat metal surface or install a
ground plane of at least 120 cm2(18 in2).
INTERLOCK
If 2 transceivers are installed in your aircraft, wiring for
a transmit/receive interlock is required.
To protect the receiver circuit from extremely strong
signals, this function prevents receiving while another
transceiver is transmitting.
COMM1 AND COMM2 STICKERS
When 2 transceivers are installed, to distinguish them
from one another, attach the supplied COMM1 and
COMM2 stickers.
