If any claim is to be made, save the shipping material and contact the freight carrier. Do NOT return units damaged in shipping to PS Engineering. If the unit or an accessory shows any sign of external shipping damage, contact PS Engineering to arrange for a replace- ment. Under no circumstances attempt to install a damaged unit in an aircraft. Equipment returned to PS Engineering for any other reason should be shipped in the original PS Engineering packaging, or other UPS approved packaging.

2.3Equipment Installation Procedures

2.3.1Cooling Requirements

Forced air-cooling of the PAV80 is not required. However, the unit should be kept away from heat produc- ing sources (i.e. defrost or heater ducts, dropping resistors, heat producing avionics) without adequate cool- ing air provided.

2.3.2Mounting Requirements

The PAV80 must be rigidly mounted to the instrument panel or other structure of the aircraft structure and within view and reach of the persons wishing access. Installation must comply with FAA Advisory Circu- lar AC 43.13-2A (or later revision). The unit may be mounted in any area where adequate clearance for the unit and associated wiring bundle exist.

The unit may be installed in any orientation.

Avoid installing the PAV80 close to high current devices or systems with high-voltage, pulse type outputs, such as DME or transponders.
