fuselage of the aircraft for an unobstructed (360° view) of the sky during maneuvers. If the
SV-GPS-250 is mounted inside the fuselage (for example, on the top of the panel), the SV-
GPS-250’s view of the sky is partially obstructed, and GPS performance may be marginal in
situations such as insufficient number of satellites “in view” through the windscreen.

If you are concerned with possible performance issues with the intended installation
location, temporarily install the SV-GPS-250 and verify GPS functionality - SETUP MENU >
LOCAL DISPLAY SETUP > GPS FIX STATUS. Note SATELLITES IN USE – the more satellites that
are in use, the more accurate the GPS fix can be. Note FIX QUALITY – should be 3D FIX.

SV-XPNDR-261/262
The SV-XPNDR-261/262 Mode S transponder module is designed to be mounted in any
convenient location in the cockpit, the cabin, or an avionics bay.
The following installation procedure should be followed, remembering to allow adequate space
for installation of cables and connectors:

Select a position in the aircraft that is not too close to any high external heat source. (The
SV-XPNDR-261/262 is not a significant heat source itself and does not need to be kept away
from other devices for this reason).

Avoid sharp bends and placing the cables too near to the aircraft control cables.

Secure the mounting tray to the aircraft via the three (3) mounting holes in the tray. The
tray should be mounted to a flat surface - it is important that the tray is supported at the
dimples as well as the three mounting points.

Put the SV-XPNDR-261/262 transponder into the secured mounting tray by hooking the
connector end under the lip on the tray.

Lock the SV-XPNDR-261/262 transponder into the mounting tray by clipping the retaining
wire over the lugs on the opposite end.
Cooling Requirements
The SV-XPNDR-261/262 Mode S transponder meets all applicable ETSO/TSO requirements
without forced air-cooling.
Attention should however be given to the incorporation of cooling provisions to limit the
maximum operating temperature if the SV-XPNDR-261/262 is installed in close proximity to
other avionics. The reliability of equipment operating in close proximity in an avionics bay can
be degraded if adequate cooling is not provided.
SV-BAT-320
Observe the following guidelines when choosing a location for an SV-BAT-320:

There can be only one SV-BAT-320 per display. Do not connect an SV-BAT-320 to more than
one display.
