D1000(A) IRIDIUM SATCOM DATA SOLUTION
Page 17
INSTALLATION & WIRING
General Information
Generally, modification of the aircraft consists of installing a dedicated single-channel
or dual-channel Iridium antenna with a connection for a carry-on D1000 (A).
NOTE: AN IRIDIUM ANTENNA REQUIRES PROFESSIONAL INSTALLATION.
License Requirements
The D1000(A) SATCOM DATA SOLUTION has no licensing requirements.
Cooling Air Requirements
The D1000(A) has very low power usage so forced air cooling is not required for any
of the components. However, units should be kept away from heat sources.
Aircraft Interfaces
The D1000(A) operates independent of aircraft navigation systems. Therefore, no
aircraft interface is required other than the 10 – 32 Vdc Power Input, Power Return
and Chassis Ground.
Power Input
The only component of the D1000(A) requiring aircraft power is the Modem Unit.
The D1000(A) power interface supports wide voltage input in the range of 10V to
33V DC. The following input connections are the most commonly used:
•
28 VDC nominal, typically less than 0.5A (up to 1A if charging the optional
emergency battery)
•
12 VDC nominal, typically less than 1A (up to 2A if charging the optional
emergency battery)
A single 3-amp circuit breaker is recommended to protect the aircraft power
distribution system. See the section of the Modem Unit installation or the D1000(A)
Modem Unit Equipment Specification & Drawing for details.
Some D1000 units come with an emergency rechargeable battery (this is not a
default option). This battery should not be used for primary operation and is included
to provide continuous power in the event of an electrical failure.
Equipment Required But Not Supplied
1. Circuit Breaker: Pull Type Required for D1000(A) Modem Unit
2. Interconnect Wiring for power and from Modem Unit to Control Unit
3. Mounting Hardware
