Environmental categories for which TSO compliance has been demonstrated are listed in the Environmental Qualification Form in Appendix B of this manual.
Installation Limitations The conditions and tests for CAN TSO and FAA TSO approval of the JA98-001 are minimum performance standards. Those installing the JA98, on or in a specific type or class of aircraft, must determine that the aircraft installation conditions are within TSO standards.
2.4.3 Mechanical Installation The JA98-001 can be mounted in any attitude and location with sufficient clearance for the connector and wiring harness. It requires no direct cooling. 2.4.4 In-Line PTT Cordsets If in-line PTT cordsets (drop cords) are used, be aware that incorrectly configured or improperly shielded in-line PTT cordsets can lead to significant audio problems.
Appendix B. Adjustments and Configuration using ProCS™ The JA98-001 configuration adjustments are set from the configuration program ProCS™. Configuration data is sent to the JA98-001 via the configuration connector (J3), using the configuration program and JA99-001 Configuration Cable. Refer to the ProCS manual for complete information on the configuration process.
