RS16 Series Remote Switch Manual |
Section 1.0 Description
1.1Introduction
This manual contains information on the RS16 Series Remote Switch.
Information in this section consists of purpose of equipment, features and specifications.
1.2Purpose of Equipment
The RS16 is a bulkhead mounted, user definable, remote switch used to switch sixteen signals as one group or as individual groups of four. Dry nitrogen filled, gold contact, sealed relays provide dry-circuit switching to 0.5A. It is suitable for use up to 35,000 feet.
1.3Features
The RS16 is designed to switch up to sixteen navigational and/or audio signals. Each fourpole relay has its own status annunciation for fault monitoring. Each relay can be activated by either voltage or ground keying, and has an independent ILS reversion logic switch.
Circuit boards are constructed of G10-FR (flame retardant) material, with solder masks and reflowed tin plating; they are environmentally protected with conformal coating.
1.4Specifications
1.4.1Electrical Specifications
|
Operating voltages: |
+28 Vdc for each relay. |
|
Current consumption: |

Section 2.0 Installation
2.1Introduction
Information in this section consists of: unpacking and inspection procedures, installation procedures, post-installation checks, and installation drawings.
2.2Unpacking and Inspection
Unpack the equipment carefully and locate the warranty card. Inspect the unit visually for damage due to shipping and report all such claims immediately to the carrier involved. Note that each unit should have the following:
-RS16 Series Remote Switch
-Warranty Card
-Release Certificate
Verify that all items are present before proceeding and report any shortage immediately to your supplier.
Complete the warranty card information and send it to NAT when the installation is complete. If you fail to complete the warranty card, the warranty will be activated on date of shipment from NAT.
2.3Installation Procedures
2.3.1Warnings
Do not bundle any lines from this unit with transmitter coax lines. Do not bundle any logic, audio, or DC power lines from this unit with 400 Hz synchro wiring or AC power lines. Do not position this unit next to any device with a strong alternating magnetic field such as an inverter or significant interference to operation will result. In all installations, use shielded cable exactly as shown and ground as indicated. Significant problems may result from not following these guidelines.
2.3.2Cautions
Do not install the RS16 without making a suitable amendment to the flight manual indicating how information transfer has been implemented in the aircraft.
