Limitations:

 

 
The conditions and tests for TSO approval of this article are minimum performance 
standards.  Those installing this article, on or in a specific type or class of aircraft must 
determine that the aircraft installation conditions are within the TSO standards.  TSO articles 
must have separate approval for installation in an aircraft.  The article may be installed only 
according to 14 CFR part 43 or the applicable airworthiness requirements. 
 
This article may not be installed as the sole source of power for an instrument or avionic 
device that has no other redundancy in the aircraft. 

(i.e., If an aircraft has one and only one vhf radio 

it must have an additional source of power beside the IBBS system to qualify for installation.) 

 
See page 13 for Performance Specifications and potential limitations and ratings under 
various conditions, including environmental and application installations.    See Item 3 below 
for installation location limitations. 
 
 
 

 

 

Installation Instructions: 

 

1. 

IMPORTANT NOTE: 

Consult the attached wiring diagrams to identify wiring connections appropriate to the 
particular installation.  Please note, some equipment such as GPS’s and EFIS systems may 
be provided with multiple power inputs. These inputs are often identified as 

“Aircraft Power 

2

”.   For these installations the output of the IBBS must be connected to the “back-up” power 

input of the respective device.  For equipment having only a single power input terminal the 
IBBS pass-thru power function must be utilized. (This is typical of devices such as comm 
radios, transponders, autopilots, fuel pumps, and electronic ignitions)    The IBBS system 
may be fed from a bus that remains active during engine starting, such as the master bus or 
it may be fed from an avionics bus that is switched off during engine starting. 
 
 
2. 

Check that the total connected load (summed value of all four output wires of the 

IBBS) is less than the following product ratings: 
 

IBBS-12v-3ah-CRT:    5 amps maximum continuous current  
   

               

10 amps peak for radio transmissions and transient loads* 

       

*(30 seconds max duration) 

 

3. 

Mount the IBBS to structure in a suitable location in the aircraft utilizing the practices 

identified in AC 43.13-2A/1B.  Ensure the mounting points and fasteners are suitable for the 
weight of the product, consult the specifications for details. The IBBS must be mounted 
inside the aircraft, do not mount the IBBS in the firewall forward area.  Do not mount the 
IBBS unit up under the instrument panel unless the panel is properly ventilated to ensure 
heat does not build up in the area.  Select an area that is accessible to allow for future 
battery servicing.  The preferred operating temperature range of the system is -40 C° to     
60 C°, the effective charging temperature range is -40 C° to 40 C° with extended charging 
times below 0 C°.  Select an installation location that takes these temperatures into 
consideration.
