SECTION 2 PRE-INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS
2.1 EQUIPMENT LOCATION
The MD302 SAM (-3) Standby Attitude Module is designed to be installed in the instrument panel or
equipment bay of the aircraft. However, within the limitations of the environmental qualifications,
other locations may be acceptable when considered within the context of the specific application
and with the appropriate installation certification.
Clearance for the unit as well as its electrical and pneumatic connections and routing must be
allowed. Be aware of routing cables near other electronics or with other wire bundles that may be
susceptible to high energy flow. Avoid sharp bends in cabling or hoses and routing near aircraft
control cables. Also, avoid proximity and contact with aircraft structures, avionics equipment, heat
sources or other obstructions that could chafe or damage wires or hoses during flight and cause
undesirable effects.
