3.1.1 During the design and layout of the aircraft cabin, careful

consideration of the location of this module is necessary. Some of

the items to be considered include:

•Space

•Available power supply

•Environmental conditions (temperature, humidity, etc.)

•Length of cable runs

3.1.2 The VA-401-x shall be installed to conform to the standards

designated by the customer, installing agency, and existing

conditions as to the unit location and type of installation.

3.1.3 Mounting screws are required to secure the unit. Refer to Section

6.0, Reference Drawings, for mounting hole diameters and

configuration.

3.1.4 For best results, locate the unit as close as possible to video

equipment.

3.2 Unpacking and Inspection

3.2.1 Carefully open the packaging and remove the unit. Verify that all

components have been included in the package per the packing

list. Inspect the unit for damage. Retain the packing materials and

packing list.

connectors. Ensure that power and ground are applied only where

specified. Damage to the unit may result if power or ground is

applied to the wrong points.

3.3.2 DO NOT connect or disconnect the unit while power is applied.

3.3.3 DO NOT remove any factory-installed screws. Damage to the unit

may result and void any warranties.

3.3.4 DO NOT use this unit other than for its intended purpose. Doing so

might lead to electric shock, injury, or damage to the equipment.

3.3.5 DO NOT place unit near hot air ducts or other heat sources.

3.3.6 ESD (Electro Static Discharge) guidelines shall be followed.

3.4 Wiring Requirements

3.4.1 Introduction

The installing agency shall supply and fabricate all external cables

and mating connectors. The length and routing of external cables

must be carefully studied and planned before attempting installation

of the equipment. Allow adequate space for installation of cable

and connectors. Avoid sharp bends and placing cables near

aircraft control cables. Maintain a MINIMUM clearance of three (3)

inches from any control cable. If wiring is run parallel to

combustible fluid or oxygen lines, maintain a separation of six (6)

inches between the lines.

to the airframe structure by a conductive mounting point with <0.1

O resistance using <50 O impedance cable. Aluminum wool, nylon

webbing impregnated with aluminum oxide abrasive or fiber bristle

brushes are the approved tools for removing anodized surfaces at

mounting point where the bonding wire is attached. Power and

Ground wires shall be in accordance with MIL-W-22759. Protect

power wires with circuit breakers or fuses located close to the

electrical power source bus.

3.4.3 Video Lines

Composite video connections shall be shielded coaxial cable in

accordance with the military specifications of M17/94-RG179.

3.5 Physical Characteristics

3.5.1 Refer to Section 5.0 for unit dimensions.

3.5.2 Refer to Section 6.0 for attachment points.

3.5.3 When mounting the unit, allow sufficient space for mating

connectors.

3.6 Electrical Characteristics

3.6.1 Refer to Section 5.0 for electrical specifications.

3.6.2 The VA-401-x has five (5) BNC connector locations on the rear of

the unit. BNC1 will always be designated as video input. The

video output signal is directed out BNC jacks 2 through 5.

3.6.3 One (1) 9-pin D-subminiature connector is required for electrical

connections. Only pin 1 (Power Input) and pin 2 (Ground) are

connected; all others have no connection and are labeled reserved.
