For storage or reshipment the original packaging should be used. 2.2 Requirements • The installation of the ATR600 depends on the conditions in the airplane. In arrangement with an aeronautical-engineering enterprise, location and kind of the installation are specified. • Leave sufficient area for the installation of cables and connecting plugs.
ATR600 Installation and Operation 2.3 Antenna For the ATR600 a conventional vertically polarized VHF COM antenna with a 50 Ohm impedance is needed. Wideband comm antennas provide efficient operation over the comm band. Antennas should be installed in accordance with the manufacturer recommendations.
ATR600 Installation and Operation 2.4.2 Microphone Connection Microphone inputs: MIC 1: for dynamic (factory setting) or standard microphones; switchable with “Mic Switch“ on the right side of the equipment MIC 2: (only) for standard microphones; adjustable microphone level The input for standard microphones is appropriate for input voltages of 50 mVpp to 2 Vpp.

ATR600 Installation and Operation 2.5 Microphone Settings 2.5.1 Basics MIC- und VOX-values are essential for intercom. Using VOX the loudness threshold is adjusted so that ambient noise is not transmitted to the headphones, but an additional signal caused by speaking will start intercom.
ATR600 Installation and Operation 2.6 Checkup after Installation When installation is completed all steering and control functions of the aircraft are to be examined, in order to exclude disturbances by the wiring. Subsequently, check antenna matching. Insert a standing wave meter, respectively a direction-sensitive RF power meter into the antenna line.
