Aerotech HIGH POWER RMS Quick Start Manual

54MM HIGH POWER RMS™ RELOAD DELAY KIT
(RDK) ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
1-1. Apply a light coat of Permatex™ Super Lube™ or other grease to all threads
and o-rings. This will facilitate assembly and prevents the threads from seizing.
1-2. Fig.-1: Position the forward (black) closure in a vertical position, delay charge
cavity facing up. Apply a light coat of grease to the inside and outside surface
of the delay insulator (1-1/8" O.D. tube) and insert the delay insulator into the
cavity in the forward (black) closure as shown. NOTE: Regular length standard
forward closures shown in all illustrations.
1-3. Fig.-2: Place the greased inner (1/16" thick X 7/8" O.D.) then outer (1/16" thick
X 1" O.D.) delay o-rings into the delay charge cavity until they are seated
against the forward end of the cavity. Make sure they are centered within each
other.
1-4. Fig.-2: Place the delay charge backup ring (3/4" O.D. fiber washer) into the
forward end of the delay charge cavity, centered within the delay charge o-
rings. NOTE: When using a plugged forward closure ONLY, fill the cavity in the
backup ring with grease.
1-5. Fig.-3: Apply a light coat of grease to the outside paper surface of the delay
element. NOTE: DO NOT get any grease on the exposed delay propellant
surface. This could prevent ignition of the ejection charge. With the delay cavity
facing up, gently press the delay element into the delay insulator until it is
seated against the delay o-rings. Install the delay spacer ring(s), if provided,
on top of the delay element. The delay spacer or delay element must protrude
above the delay insulator by 1/32" to 1/16". WARNING: FAILURE TO
INSTALL THE DELAY ASSEMBLY CORRECTLY AS SHOWN MAY RE-
SULT IN PREMATURE FUNCTIONING OF THE EJECTION CHARGE,
POSSIBLY DAMAGING YOUR MOTOR AND ROCKET.
1-6. Complete the remainder of motor assembly according to the original instruc-
tions that accompanied your particular reload kit.
