The PAC45A requires specialized knowledge and tools for an effective installation. An appropriately rated

Certified Aircraft Repair Station must install this equipment in accordance with applicable regulations. PS

Engineering, Incorporated warranty is not valid unless the equipment is installed by an authorized PS Engi-

neering, Incorporated dealer.

Failure to follow any of the installation instructions, or installation by a non-certified individual or agency

will void the warranty, and may result in an unairworthy installation.

Unpacking and Preliminary Inspection

Use care when unpacking the equipment. Inspect the units and parts supplied for visible signs of shipping

damage. Examine the unit for loose or broken buttons, bent knobs, etc. Verify the correct quantity of com-

ponents supplied with the list in §1.6. If any claim is to be made, save the shipping material and contact the

freight carrier. Do NOT return units damaged in shipping to PS Engineering. If the unit or accessories show

any sign of external shipping damage, contact PS Engineering to arrange for a replacement. Under no cir-

cumstances attempt to install a damaged unit in an aircraft. Equipment returned to PS Engineering for any

other reason should be shipped in the original PS Engineering packaging, or other UPS approved packaging.

2.3 Equipment Installation Procedures

2.3.1

Cooling Requirements

Forced air-cooling of the PAC45A is not required. However, the units should be kept away from heat pro-

ducing sources (i.e. defrost or heater ducts, dropping resistors, heat producing avionics) without adequate

cooling air provided.

2.3.2

Mounting Requirements

The HUB45R must be rigidly mounted to the aircraft structure in an avionics-rated location. The CTL45 is

designed for Dzus-rail mounting within view and reach of the flightcrew position(s). Installation must comply

with FAA Advisory Circular AC 43.13-2B, or other FAA-approved aircraft technical data. The unit may be

mounted in any area where adequate clearance for the unit and associated wiring bundle exist.

To prevent noise, avoid installing the unit close to high current devices or systems with high-voltage pulse

type outputs, such as DME or transponders. Avoid running the interconnecting bundles near any high current

wires.
