7.2.1 skyBeacon-skySensor Installation Kit UAV-1007046-001 The skyBeacon-skySensor Installation Kit consists of the following parts: Item 1 6-32 x 1-1/4” Screw (3) UAV-1001459-001 2 5mm x 1mm O-Ring (6) UAV-1002038-001 3 Wire Splice (3) UAV-1001487-001 7.3 Installation Materials and Tools In addition to the available installation kit(s), skySensor may require standard aviation parts for installation. - Page 21 vertical and horizontal centerlines of the aircraft. Ensure that when mounted, the fin and top of the assembly are free from obstructions. skySensor must be mounted with the fin pointing down to ensure proper performance. skySensor installation location Aircraft starboard (right-hand) side To ensure performance of the integrated altitude sensor, the wire bundle exiting the skySensor enclosure, and vent holes shown below, must not be further sealed.
- Page 22 General Mounting Instructions 1. Remove the existing starboard (green) position light. 2. Detach the power wire(s). 3. Install wiring according to Section 7.5. 4. If skySensor fits without adaptation, mount skySensor using the three supplied 6-32 screws. See Section 7.4.1. 5.

Page 23: Mounting Without Wingtip Adapter
7.4.1 Mounting Without Wingtip Adapter skySensor is mounted with three 6-32-inch screws to the existing holes and nut plates in the end of the wing. Two O-rings per screw must be used between the screw and skySensor assembly. Note: the O-ring nearest the head of the screw must be replaced if the screw is tightened and subsequently removed. -
Page 24: Mounting With Wingtip Adapter
7.4.2 Mounting With Wingtip Adapter The following procedure is generalized for all wingtip adapter models. Wingtip adapters allow or refine the fit of the installation. skySensor is mounted with three 6-32-inch screws to the existing holes and nut plates in the end of the wing, with the wingtip adapter sitting between the wing and skySensor. -

7.5 Wiring skySensor requires connections to power and ground. Color Type Function Power Position Light Power (14/28V only) Yellow Power Anti-collision Light Power (14/28V only) Black Power Aircraft Ground skySensor is designed to use existing position and/or anti-collision light wiring. If new wiring is required, refer to AC 43.13-1B Chapter 11 for guidance. -
Page 26: Emc Checkout
7.6 EMC Checkout An EMC check should be performed after skySensor installation is complete. The EMC check verifies that the newly installed equipment is not producing interference to other avionics and that the existing avionics are not producing interference impacting skySensor. The testing assumes that a skySensor operational check has been completed and that the installed avionics are tested and in working condition. - Page 27 3. Monitor a remote (distant) VHF COM frequency and verify there are no unintended squelch breaks or other tones that would interfere with communications. 4. Monitor an unused VHF COM frequency and verify there are no unintended squelch breaks or other tones that would interfere with communications.
