SECTION II
INSTALLATION
2.1 GENERAL INFORMATION
This section contains general suggestions and information to consider before installation of the
KAP 140 Flight Control System. Close adherence to these suggestions will assure optimum
performance from the equipment. Specific installation requirements are contained in the STC
Installation Manual that pertains to the particular type of aircraft which the equipment is to be
installed.
NOTE
“The conditions and tests required for TSO approval of this article are
minimum performance standards. It is the responsibility of those
desiring to install the article either on or within a specific type or class
of aircraft to determine that the aircraft installation conditions are
within the TSO standards. If not within the TSO standards, the article
may be installed only if further evaluation by the applicant documents
an acceptable installation and is approved by the Administrator.”
2.2 UNPACKING AND INSPECTING EQUIPMENT
Exercise extreme care when unpacking the equipment. Make a visual inspection of the unit 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.
2.3 EQUIPMENT INSTALLATION
2.3.1 Avionics Cooling requirements for Panel Mounted Equipment
The greatest single contributor to increased reliability of all modern day avionics is to limit the
maximum operating temperature of the individual units whether panel mounted or remote mounted.
While modern day individual circuit designs consume much less electrical energy, watts per cubic
inch dissipated within the avionics unit remains much the same due to high density packaging
techniques utilized. Consequently, the importance of providing cooling to the avionics stack is still
with us today.
While the KC140 does not require forced air cooling, 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 to the
equipment will lead to increased avionics maintenance costs and may also void the AlliedSignal Inc
warranty.
