SECTION 2 – INSTALLATION
1. General
This section contains suggestions and factors to consider before installing the P-2000/C-
2000/RT-2000. Close adherence to these suggestions will assure a more satisfactory
performance from the equipment.
2. Unpacking and Inspecting Equipment
Exercise extreme care when unpacking the equipment. Make a visual inspection of the units for
evidence of damage incurred during shipment. If a claim for damage is to be made, save the
shipping container to substantiate the claim. The claim should be promptly filed with the
transportation company. It would be advisable to retain the container and packaging material after
all equipment has been removed in the event that equipment storage or reshipment should
become necessary.
3. Equipment Installation
The P-2000/C-2000/RT-2000 installations will conform to standards designated by the customer,
installing agency, and existing conditions as to the unit location and type of installation. See
Figures 2-1 through 2-7 for an outline drawings of the LRU’s, installation tray, and antennas.
Before beginning installation the installing agency should review the drawings, electrical
interwiring diagram and installation pictorials which are located in this section, and establish
requirements to a particular aircraft.
A. Cooling Considerations
The greatest single contributor to increased reliability of all modern day avionics is limiting the
maximum operating temperature of the individual units, whether panel-mounted or remote-
mounted. While modern day circuit designs consume far less electrical energy, the watts per
cubic inch dissipated within the avionics units still remains much the same due to high density
packaging techniques utilized. Consequently, the importance of providing avionics cooling is
essential to the life span of the unit.
The combined heat load of several units operating in a typical avionics location will
significantly degrade the reliability of the avionics if provisions for cooling are not incorporated
in the initial installation. Failure to provide cooling will certainly lead to increased avionics
maintenance costs and may void the Wulfsberg warranty.
B. P-2000 Mechanical Installation
(1) Select the P-2000 mounting location. Insure that unit will be easily accessible and
clearly visible to the operator. The location should be free from excessive moisture,
vibration, heat and noise generating sources. The unit has standard Dzus mount
dimensions as shown in Figure 2-1. Allow adequate space and service loops for
installation of cables and connectors.
