aircraft systems and a 3 A circuit breaker for 28 V systems.
Power supply capable of providing 12 to 28 VDC at 30 Watts is required to
do the pre-installation test procedure.
This cable is required to do the pre-installation test procedure. The cable
can be purchased from Goodrich Avionics Systems (P/N 803-10950-001) or
fabricated from the details provided in figure 2-1.
WX-SM Skinmapper (P/N 78-8060-5859-6 with Mod. 2 (P/N 816-10012-001)
