3.0 INSTALLATION
3.1 Overview
The installation process consists of:
Determining the system options
•
Determining the audio distribution and volume configuration
•
Determining the locations of the system components (antenna, receiver(s),
•
control head, programming jack)
Mounting the components
•
Wiring and aircraft load analysis
•
Initial set-up and testing
•
Subscription service activation
•
3.2 Determining the System Options
The HUT XM Radio System is available in several device types providing the customer
several options as to how they wish to operate and enjoy the system.
This equipment can be installed as a complex system or very basic one, depending on
the limits of the customer (i.e. budget or schedule), the equipment and the aircraft.
3.2.1
Quantity of Audio Sources
The user must determine the number of individual XM program source modules, or
"receiver channels". For a basic system, a 1-channel receiver would be used as a music
source to the aircraft's existing cabin audio system. All of the passengers would share
the XM Radio programs from that single receiver. If the customer wishes to
accommodate each passenger with individual XM programming, a multiple receiver unit
will be required.
Please note: XM Radio, Inc. subscription fees are required for each receiver channel.
3.2.2
User Interface
The second determination is how the system is to be interfaced to the user. Since this
equipment is mounted in view of the occupants, aesthetic as well as functional
considerations are in play for this decision process. As far as the scope of this manual is
concerned, only some the functional considerations are explained.
As described in the previous sections, the equipment options are a XMC control head,
CEMS and discrete inputs. In addition, any combination of the three can be used, for
example, using the discrete inputs with the XMC or the CEMS.
