Skip to main content. Street, Olathe, KansasU. The photocell automatically controls the light intensity of the display LEDs from low brightness at night to high brightness during daylight operation.

The cam lock mechanism should be fully unscrewed turned counter-clockwise. Troubleshooting If efforts to resolve the problem fail, contact your dealer or mamual factory for technical as- sistance. Retain all shipping containers and packaging material in case reshipment is necessary.

The standard items included in the package are listed in Table 1. External devices required for various installations are listed below. Deere Ave. A post installation check-out procedure is included at the end of this section. Follow the installation procedure in this section as it is presented for a successful installation.

Read the entire section before beginning the procedure. Perform the post installation checkout before closing the work area in case problems occur. Once the mounting location has been determined, prepare the mounting frame for installation. It may be easier to complete the wiring harness and attach the connectors to the mounting frame before installing the mounting frame.

The standard package includes a mounting frame for ease of mounting, connections, and service of the unit. Allow an additional one-inch clearance to the rear of the mounting frame for connectors and cables.

For typical installations, the SL30 does not require external cooling. Without an external CDI, no glideslope information is obtainable. Reference output high C Reference output low D S1 COS input high E S3 COS input low F S4 SIN input high G Route the wiring bundle as appropriate. The rear connector plate should be attached to the mounting frame before installing the frame in the instrument panel. The rear connector plate can be used to tie down the cable assemblies.

Use the supplied edge guard to protect the cable from sharp edges. Connect the shield grounds directly to the connector mounting plate. Once the cable assemblies are complete and the connectors are attached to the mounting frame, install the mounting frame assembly in the instrument panel as illustrated in Figure 2.

Be sure to use low-profile head screws in the side of the mounting frame so the unit will slide in and out freely. Attach the front of the mounting frame to the instrument panel. Use support brackets to attach the rear of the frame to the aircraft. There must be a minimum vertical spacing of 0. Mounting tubes with clearance 10 Apollo SL30 Installation Manual Installation dimples help maintain the proper clearance. The mounting tube must be installed with the clearance dimples pointing up.

The mounting tube should be flush to the instrument panel and allow sufficient clearance for the back of the bezel of the unit to mount flush to the mounting tube.

Sufficient clearance must exist in the instrument panel opening to allow ease of insertion and removal of the unit.

If the back of the unit bezel does not mount flush to the mounting tube, the connector may not engage fully. Mounting screw heads must not protrude into the mounting tube. Be sure to use the appropriate screws so the unit will slide in and out freely. The screws attaching the mounting tube to the instrument panel structure must not interfere with the insertion of the unit.

Failure to prevent interference will result in damage to the unit or prevent its insertion. Take care that the mounting tube is not distorted when it is attached to the instrument panel and structural supports. Shims may be necessary to properly install the mounting tube.

If the mounting tube is distorted out of square, the unit may either bind when being inserted or the cam lock may not engage. The front lobe of the cam should be vertical. The cam lock mechanism should be fully unscrewed turned counter-clockwise. Slide the unit into the frame.

Turn clockwise and carefully hand-tighten 4 in-lb max. Using a larger tool than the one provided makes it easy to exceed the allowable torque on the cam lock resulting in damage to the unit. The unit will be pulled into the frame securing the unit and the connectors when fully engaged. Do NOT overtighten. The back of the bezel must be flush to the mounting tube.

If the cam lock is hard to turn or the unit does not seat fully, the unit is probably binding and the mounting tube should be checked. The unit will begin to pull away from the mounting tube.

Turn the screw until slight resistance is felt and then pull the unit from the frame. Do not exert excessive turning force at the end of the cam lock travel or the unit may be damaged.

With the cam lock fully disengaged, pull the unit straight out holding onto the sides of the bezel. It is not recommended that you pull the unit out by the rotary knobs. No special extraction tools are required, if the mounting tube is properly installed. The crimp contacts are specified for 20 to 24 awg wire. Make the crimp connections with a crimp tool as specified on page 6.

All wires should be 20 to 24 AWG unless otherwise specified. Wiring diagrams are included in this section. Make the power connections to the unit using 20 awg wire. The Comm power input is internally fused at 7 amps. A separate 5 amp circuit breaker or fuse should be installed for downline overload or short circuit protection. The NAV internal fuse is 3 amps. A separate 2 amp circuit breaker or fuse should be installed for downline overload or short circuit protection. Note: Circuits should be protected in accordance with guidelines in AC Warning When connecting power to the unit, reversing the polarity of the connection will blow the internal fuse.

The internal fuse requires replacement at the factory or factory authorized repair center. These outputs are to be connected as appropriate for the particular installation. The avionics outputs available are listed in the Avionics Outputs specification on page Connect the annunciator outputs as necessary.

Make RxD, TxD, and signal ground connections to the pin connector. Connect the shield s to the rear of the mounting frame on the connector plate. Complete serial interface specifications are included in Appendix E — Serial Interface Specifications.

Attach the signal ground to the mic ground pin on the rear connector and connect the shield to the rear connector plate. This input should be connected to a microphone or yoke mounted momentary push button switch. This is an optional connection. When making connection for the intercom selection, connect the intercom selection input to a remote mounted normally open switch an alternate action switch can be used.

Connect the other terminal of the switch to ground. The intercom function is enabled when the input is pulled low to ground. This is an optional input that can be connected to a remote mounted such as on the yoke momentary push button switch which pulls the input low to ground.

The Comm antenna should be a standard Comm antenna that operates on Comm frequencies between The NAV and Comm antennas should also be mounted as far apart as practical from the ELT antenna, preferably one on top and the other on the bottom of the aircraft fuselage.

This can happen when the Comm SL40 or any other Comm is transmitting on certain frequencies such as Assembly instructions for the rear coax connector are included in Figure 6. Braid Clamp - Slide braid clamp over end of coax and under the braid.

Cap Step 3. Its size dictates room for only one Comm antenna input and one NAV antenna input. It incorporates an internal diplexor circuit. Do not install an external diplexor. In rare cases, it may be necessary to combine antenna signals.

When the signals are combined, the systems overall performance may be slightly degraded, but the glideslope signal may increase to an acceptable level. This unit has been fully environmentally qualified for use with single and dual SL30 installations. SL30 installation is not limited only to equipment shown.

The installer must ensure each article interfaced to the SL30 meets the interface specification listed in this manual. Avionics power leads should use 20 awg wire. All others are specified at awg. Pwr - 14V Ann.

Connect shield grounds to aircraft chassis with as short a conductor as practical. Refer to Limitations on Using Composite Signal paragraph in this chapter.

Not all indicator connections are shown, only those interfacing to the SL Consult the appropriate installation manuals for complete wiring instructions. Use shieled cable for resolver signals. Connect shields chassis ground at both ends of each shielded cable. BC annunciator may be implemented in future software revisions of the SN Refer to Sandel installation manual.

Refer to Limitations on Using a Composite Signal paragraph in this chapter. In this installation, the composite output will be disabled whenever the VOR monitor mode is active or back course localizer mode is enabled.

This will cause the external converter to flag. Apollo SL30 SW version 1. The steps that are not applicable to a particular installation may be skipped. A checkout log sheet is included on page 39 to fill out during the checkout procedure. Make a photocopy of the log sheet for ease of use if desired. Check the movement of the aircraft controls to verify that there is no interference. To return to normal operation, switch the power off, and then back on. In the Setup Mode, turn the large knob to view each function.

In general, press the SEL button to activate selection, turn the small knob to view each option, and then press ENT to save the displayed value. Pressing SEL again will exit the option without saving any changes. Press SEL. The type will flash. Serial OBS update messages are supported in this mode, but the unit will not flag if updates are discontinued or are not periodic. I have a specific question about the SL Can it receive audio signals from another device?

I have a Vertical Power that can generate audio signals but don't see a way for the SL to accept them Or is there another radio to consider? Last edited by Buggsy2 : at PM.

I like the SL because it allows listening on the Standby frequency, can retrieve frequencies from a GPS, and functions as a two-person intercom sufficient for a two-person airplane. Seems a shame to add an audio panel just for audio inputs. Things to See Sliding canopy Nosewheel vs. Tailwheel Traditional vs. All times are GMT The time now is AM.
