Installation
Installation of the MXS consists of:
 Mounting MXS with required 2.0°C/Watt heat sink
 Routing power cable and host computer to MXS through the Main Connector
 Connecting to a GPS data source
 Installing antenna(s)
 Routing and connecting the antenna cable
 Connecting the altitude sensor/encoder to system static pressure
Figure 0-1Figure 4-1 shows a labeled diagram of MXS’s features, which may be of use during the installation process.
Figure 0-1 MXS Feature Locations
1. Mounting MXS with required 2.0°C/Watt heat sink
2. Ensure Proper Environmental Area
The following environmental characteristics should be in place to install MXS:
Altitude Range
Operation Altitude Range: -1,200 to a maximum of 85,000 feet
Maximum Vibration
Random Vibration 15 to 2000Hz @13.8gRMS (MIL-STD-810E)
Protect from weather
 The MXS needs to be mounted in a location protected from weather.
 Operating temperature is designed to be -40 to +71°C when 2.0°C/Watt of cooling is provided. Storage
temperature is expected to be -55 to +85°C.
 MXS should be mounted away from sources of excess heat to better guarantee an operating environment within
its designed temperature range.
