2.1 GENERAL
This chapter contains information for the installation of the Telephonics RDR-1600 Weather Radar
System. Included are equipment outline drawings, installation pictorials and electrical interconnect
diagrams of the different system configurations. These drawings should be reviewed by the installing
agency and requirements peculiar to a particular airframe established before installation is begun.
2.2 UNPACKING
Use care when unpacking the Telephonics RDR-1600 Weather Radar System components. Open
