8.2 Mounting The EchoESX is designed to be mounted in any convenient location in the cockpit, the cabin, or an avionics bay. The following installation procedure should be followed, remembering to allow adequate space for installation of cables and connectors. - Page 14 UAV-1001191-001 Page 14 | 26 ECCN 7A994...

Page 17: Cooling Requirements
The distance between the EchoESX and the power source is limited by the impedance of the wire between them. The EchoESX is powered directly from aircraft power, and, therefore, the acceptable voltage drop in the power line is what limits the distance. - Page 18 UAV-1001191-001 not generally a good choice. For aircraft where those situations do not 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.

Page 19: Antenna Installation
UAV-1001191-001 8.7 Antenna Installation 8.7.1 Supplied OEM Monopole Antenna The following considerations should be taken into account when siting the antenna. • 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. -
Page 20: Antenna Cable
8.7.2 Antenna Cable The EchoESX 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 21: Installation Setup
UAV-1001191-001 9 Installation Setup The transponder system should be configured on the EFIS during initial system installation by a qualified technician. The configuration items list below should be used to document the system installation for future reference. Configuration Item Default Setting ICAO Number 0x000000... -
Page 22: Aircraft Address Programming
These addresses are usually written as a 6-digit hexadecimal number, although you may also encounter one written as an 8-digit octal number. The echoESX understands the hexadecimal format, so you must first convert an octal number to hexadecimal before entering. -
Page 23: S0 (Knots)
Both UAT and 1090 9.6 V (knots) This parameter allows the echoESX to automatically switch between airborne and ground modes. Enter the VSO value for your aircraft. Setting to 0 passes control of the Air/Ground state to the EFIS. Airspeed (in kts) that the aircraft typically flies after take-off. -

UAV-1001191-001 9.8 GPS Antenna Offset The GPS antenna offset is used in conjunction with the length and width to manage taxiway conflicts. A typical GPS does not report the geographic position of the center of the aircraft, or even the tip of the nose of the aircraft;... -
Page 25: Continued Airworthiness
11 Continued Airworthiness Other than for periodic functional checks required by the regulations, EchoESX has been designed and manufactured to allow “on condition maintenance”. This means that there are no periodic service requirements necessary to maintain continued airworthiness, and no maintenance is required until the equipment does not properly perform its intended function. -
