2 SECTION II - INSTALLATION

2.1 GENERAL INFORMATION

2.1.1

Scope

This section of the manual will provide the needed information to successfully complete the installation of

your new NAV 2000 Navigation Receiver. Please read this section completely before proceeding with the

installation process. Although the NAV 2000 installation procedures are designed with the do-it-yourself in

mind, we at Val Avionics Ltd. strongly suggest that you seek the advice of a qualified avionics installation

facility before beginning this or any other installation project. Qualified avionics installation technicians

can offer good advice as to time-tested installation practices and techniques that can save you many hours

of time and frustration.

2.2 UNPACKING AND INSPECTION

Use care when unpacking the equipment. Inspect the unit and supplied parts for visual signs of damage

during shipment. Examine the unit for loose screws, dents, broken buttons and other signs of damage that

may have occurred during shipment. Verify the contents of the container with the list in section 1.5. If any

damaged or missing parts are discovered during the inspection save the shipping material and contact the

freight carrier to file a claim. If it is suspected that parts were omitted from the container please feel free to

contact Val Avionics Ltd., to acquire the missing items.

2.3 EQUIPMENT INSTALLATION PROCEDURES

2.3.1

Cooling Requirements

Forced air cooling is not required for the NAV 2000 Navigation Receiver. However, when planning the

location for mounting, ensure adequate spacing from heat producing sources such as heating or defrosting

ducts.

2.3.2

Mounting Requirements

The NAV 2000 mounting tray should be rigidly mounted in the avionics stack using the hardware provided

in the installation kit. Ensure that the mounting location will provide easy access and a clear view of the

equipment’s front panel from the pilot’s position. Ensure that the mounting position will provide adequate

clearance between the unit and the associated wire harness and the aircraft controls. Bracing at the rear of

the unit should be installed to ensure rigidity in the panel. Consult FAA Advisory Circular AC 43.13-2A

for acceptable practices and techniques.
