Page 5: Installing Your Spider
Correct positioning of the Spider’s antenna is critical in achieving effective performance from the Spidertracks system as a whole. When installing any Spider product that has the antenna integrated within the device, particular attention is required. In this case the Spider should be mounted up on top of the instrument panel in the aircraft, as far forward under the glare shield as possible to maximise visibility with the sky, and free from any obstructions. -

Page 16: (B)6.Pass/Fail Criteria
(B)6.Pass/Fail Criteria When no damage or permanent deformation occurs after 7 seconds of applied static load in all directions, the Spider 6 installation is acceptable. Should permanent deformation occur after 3 seconds, reinforcements are required (e.g. doubler installation) to the affected structure and repeat test. -
Page 17: (C)Spider 6 Electromagnetic Compatibility Test Procedure
The purpose of these test procedures is to demonstrate Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) between the aircraft’s electrical or electronic systems, and the Spider 6 being tested. This test procedure is an aircraft-level test to determine if there is any electromagnetic or radio frequency interference (EMI/RFI) to the various critical aircraft systems, radios and installed equipment. -
