6.2 Mounting, Wiring, and Power Checks
CAUTION
Make sure all lighting buses are turned to their lowest adjustment before applying power
to the unit. The lowest adjustment prevents damage to the unit if there are any wiring
errors.
Examine the wire harness to make sure the connection to aircraft systems and avionics equipment is
correct before the unit is energized. Point-to-point continuity must be examined to expose any faults such
as shorting to ground or wiring discrepancies. All faults or discrepancies must be corrected before
continuing.
Before and during the installation make sure:
• All cables are properly attached.
• Shields are connected to connector shield blocks.
• Movement of the flight and engine controls through the full range of motion do not touch cabling
and control systems.
• Wire is installed as described in section 3.14.
Make sure these items are completed after the installation or a continuity check.
• Power and ground checks.
• Faults and discrepancies are corrected.
• Installation rack is correctly attached.
• Unit is correctly seated in the installation rack.
