  • Page 13: Equipment Installation

    8.2 Mounting The Ping200Sr 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: Connections

    8.3 Connections Whenever power is supplied to the transponder, a 50ohm load must be provided to the SMA connection. You can use the supplied antenna or a commercially available 50ohm load. Powering the transponder without an attached load will result in damage to the device not covered under warranty.

  • Page 18: Cooling Requirements

    8.5 Cooling Requirements Ping200Sr is designed to meet all applicable TSO requirements without forced-air cooling. Attention should, however, be given to the incorporation of cooling provisions to limit the maximum operating temperature if Ping200Sr is installed in close proximity to other Avionics. The reliability of equipment operating in close proximity in an avionics bay can be degraded if adequate cooling is not provided.
