avionics 2. System Interconnects and Interfaces Connection of the lighting bus to incorrect pins can cause damage to the unit that will require return to the factory for repair. Ensure that the lighting bus is connected to the correct pins and does not short to any adjacent pins prior to applying power to the unit, including the lighting bus.
Installation Overview 3.1 General Handling Recommendations 3.1.1 ESD Handling Recommendations To avoid damage to the ATD, take precautions to prevent Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) when handling the unit, connectors, and associated wiring. ESD damage can be prevented by touching an object that is of the same electrical potential as the unit before handling the unit itself.
avionics 3. Installation Overview Pictorial Reference On http://workmanship.nasa.gov a pictorial reference ‘‘intended to provide insight to certi ed operators, inspectors and instructors who visually assess the compliance of ight hardware to locally applicable requirements’’ is available. 3.3 Cabling and Wiring Considerations 3.3.1 General Wiring Considerations Wiring should be installed in accordance with applicable regulations.
Try not to mount ATD in a location that is exposed to sunlight focussed by the canopy. ATD-57 and ATD-80 are designed to be mounted in the aircraft instrument panel. ATD-11 is designed to be installed externally on a mount or in the aircraft instrument panel.
A to prepare the mounting holes. For ATD-57 and ATD-80 standard templates for 57mm/80mm panel cutouts can be used. For ATD-11 a special panel cutout can be prepared. If the equipment shall be installed using a mount (ATD-11), please follow the installation speci cations of the mount.
avionics 4. Installation Procedures 4.3 Interconnect Installation In appendix C, wiring diagrams for most common installation cases are given. Install all electrical connectors and ensure that they are appropriately secured. We recommend using ‘‘Quicklock’’ D-Sub backshells (standard con guration). 4.4 Post Installation Con guration, Checkout, and Documentation This is a summary of the steps required for checkout, con guration, and installation documentation: Perform the installation checks.
Post Installation Checkout This chapter contains instructions for checking out an ATD installation. Checks shall ensure the system is properly installed and functioning correctly. 5.1 Wiring Checks Verify that all cables are properly secured. Check the movement of aircraft controls to verify there is no interference between the cabling and controls.

Ground Checks 7.1 Interface Checkout 7.1.1 Serial Interface The serial data interface of the unit can be checked with a pragmatic function test. 1. Connect ATD and another compatible avionics system via a serial data port. 2. Verify correct operation. 7.2 Controls This check veri es that all controls operate correctly.
avionics 7. Ground Checks 7.3.2 Light Sensor The light sensor can sense ambient lighting conditions and adjust illumination of display and bezel keys accordingly. This check veri es that the sensor is working correctly. fr 1. Ensure that ILLUMINATION is set to AUTO. 2.
Con guration and Checkout Documentation 8.1 Con guration Documentation It is mandatory for each con guration that the con guration is logged in a document that is to be added to the aircraft records. A con guration log form is provided in appendix F 8.2 Checkout Documentation It is mandatory for each installation that the checkout is logged in a document that is to be added to the aircraft records.
To insert a microSD card, insert the card into the slot, print facing to the display, little nose facing upwards for ATD-57 and ATD-80 or downwards for ATD-11 wiht controls on the right. Gently push the card until it clicks in.

avionics 9. Maintenance 5. Update required documentation. 9.1.3 Special Update Instructions from Version 1.3 to 1.5 The update to version 1.5 requires a two step process including an update of the ATD ‘‘bootloader’’ . A bootloader is the piece of software that handles the update process on the device.
avionics 9. Maintenance 9.2 Cleaning ATD has a display that is coated with a special anti-re ective coating that is very sensitive to waxes and abrasive cleaners. It is very important to clean the display using a clean, lint-free cloth and an eyeglass lens cleaner that is speci ed as safe for anti-re ective coatings.
