General This section contains instructions and suggestions for installing the FSG 70/ FSG 71M in an aircraft. Pre-installation Check Carefully remove the transceiver packing and save in case a claim has to be placed with the shipper.
3.2.2 Audio Sidetone With the FSG 70/FSG 71M transceiver, a part of the modulation signal is fed to the headphone output as long as the transmitter is operated. The sidetone control (see Fig. 3-1) should be set so that the tone is audible, but not too loud. Please consider the ambient noise in the aircraft when adjusting.
3.3.1 Installation of the Transceiver The units of the FSG 70 System are rigid mounted behind the aircraft's panel. They fit into a standard 2¼" cut-out. If there is no suitable cut-out, one can be made following the drawing Fig. 3-4 or Fig. 3-5.
3.3.3 Antenna Installation A conventional 50 Ohm vertically polarized COM antenna is required with the FSG 70/FSG 71M transceivers. The antenna must be able to radiate equally distributed RF energy without interference. For installation in an aircraft with a metal fuselage, we recommend our AV-529 antenna (part No.

NAV receiver are installed. The headphone output of the NAV unit can then be connected directly to the AF-Ext. input of the FSG 70/ FSG 71M and then be heard simultaneously from one common headphone or speaker (only during receive mode possible).
3.4.6 Illumination of the Frequency Display All transceivers of the FSG 70-System are equipped with an illumination of the frequency display. The lamp voltage is supplied via the aircraft's dimmer or directly from the aircraft supply. The lamp voltage is stamped on the type plate. If a 14Vdc- lighting should be connected to a 28Vdc aircraft supply, a 680 Ohm resistor (0.5 W) in...
FSG 70/FSG 71M PERATION ANUAL W. Dittel GmbH Post Installation Check 3.5.1 Testing on the Ground with the Engine Off After installing the unit, check all aircraft control movements to be sure no electrical cables interfere with their operation. Then measure the antenna matching between the RF jack of the unit and the antenna cable.

(recommended date of change see separate tag on unit). Battery Check The FSG 70-System transceivers indicate low battery voltage by causing the frequency display to blink if the power supplied drops below 11 volts. When operating from battery: Depending on battery capacity and the duration of transmit operation, the following operating times may remain after blinking starts until the battery is fully exhausted.
When wired for this purpose, the volume of the external receivers is/are to be set so the signals can be understood, and distinguished one from another. The VOL control of the FSG 70/FSG 71M affects not the volume of the external units, and vice versa. 4 - 4...
