Section II - INSTALLATION
2.1 GENERAL INFORMATION
2.1.1 SCOPE
This section provides detailed installation and interconnection instructions for the PS Engineering
PAR100EX Audio Selector Panel/Intercom/ with VHF communication radio controls.
Please read this manual carefully before beginning any installation to prevent damage and post-
installation problems. Installation of this equipment requires special tools and knowledge.
2.1.2 Certification Requirements
NOTE
The PAR100EX is not approved for installation in aircraft with a standard airworthiness certificate.
The M760REM is not intended for use where a FAA-Approved VHF Communications transceiver is re-
quired by operating rule.
2.2 Unpacking and Preliminary Inspection
Use care when unpacking the equipment. Inspect the units and parts supplied for visible signs of shipping
damage. Examine the unit for loose or broken buttons, bent knobs, etc. Verify the correct quantity of
components supplied with the list in Section 1.6 (B). If any claim is to be made, save the shipping mate-
rial and contact the freight carrier. Do NOT return units damaged in shipping to PS Engineering. If the
unit or accessories show any sign of external shipping damage, contact PS Engineering to arrange for a
replacement. 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.
2.3 Equipment Installation Procedures
2.3.1 Cooling Requirements
Forced air-cooling of the PAR100EX is not required. However, the units should be kept away from heat
producing sources (i.e. defrost or heater ducts, dropping resistors, heat producing avionics) without ade-
quate cooling air provided.
2.3.2 Mounting Requirements
The PAR100EX must be rigidly mounted to the instrument panel of the aircraft structure, within view and
reach of the pilot position(s). The unit may be mounted in any area where adequate clearance for the unit
and associated wiring bundle exist.
To prevent noise, avoid installing the unit close to high current devices or systems with high-voltage pulse
type outputs, such as DME or transponders. Avoid running the interconnecting bundles near any high
current wires.
2.3.3 Micro Air M760REM mounting requirements
The M760REM remote VHF Communications radio is mounted to the aircraft structure with 4 ea #6-32
(not supplied) screws through the mounting flange. Guidance can be found in AC 43.13-2B, Chapter 2.
