    apply, an attractive alternative solution may be to use 3 or 4 pair data cable. Please note that not all data cable is suitable for this application. Cables with solid cores should not be used. Cables should be selected based on the wear characteristics of their insulation material, including temperature rating, resistance to solvents and oils, and flammability.
  • Page 21  The antenna should be well removed from any projections, the engine(s) and propeller(s). It should also be well removed from landing gear doors, access doors or other openings which will break the ground plane for the antenna.  The antenna should be mounted on the bottom surface of the aircraft and in a vertical position when the aircraft is in level flight.

  • Page 22: Antenna Cable

    8.6.3 Antenna Cable The Ping200S is designed to meet Class 1 requirements with an allowance of 2dB for loss in connectors and cable used to connect it to the antenna. Excessive loss will degrade both transmitter output power and receiver sensitivity.
  • Page 23 When routing the cable:  Route the cable away from sources of heat  Route the cable wiring away from potential interference sources such as ignition wiring, 400Hz generators, fluorescent lighting and electric motors  Allow a minimum separation of 300mm from an ADF antenna cable ...
