This approval extends only to models which are listed on the AML or are included in this manual. The installation must be accomplished in accordance with AC43.13-1B and 2A. The installation requires the mounting of a ballast and bulb. Before installing confirm the voltage of the ballast being installed is correct for the aircraft voltage. Section 2.0 Bulb And Ballast Installation A) Remove nose cone from aircraft, disconnect power and ground wire from taxi light and remove taxi light from nose cone. Install HID reflector and bulb to nose cone per Figure A. B) Install the HID ballast to the radio rack while referencing Figure A for ballast installation details. (Alternate ballast mounting locations may be chosen by the installer, provided that they will withstand the inertia forces stipulated in AC43.13-2A Chapters 1 & 3 to Section 2 A) C) Connect black lead of cable # RMD-2281-11 to aircraft ground, verify ground continuity per AC43.13 1B/2A section 11. (Lead may be shortened if necessary) D) Connect white lead of cable # RMD-2281-11 to original aircraft power wire. (Lead may be shortened if necessary) E) Connect cable # RMD-2281-10 from ballast to bulb. Confirm that all wires are secured with tie wraps or adel clamps. For further information reference AC43.13-1B section 11-126 F) Test HID light; confirm there are no circuit breakers popped with all electrical equipment turned on. Also check for any electrical/magnetic interference with all radio and navigation equipment per EMI checklist found in Section 7.0 of this manual.

This EMI checklist must be completed after installation of the HID light(s). The purpose of this checklist is to insure that there is no interference between the HID lighting system, and other systems already installed in the aircraft. If interference is detected, contact Knots 2U, Ltd. a. VHF Radio Check With the VHF Radio on, adjust to the squelch activation threshold. Test the following frequencies, 121.7, 122.95, 128.7, and 131.3. Note any normal background noise. Activate HID light(s) and repeat frequency check. Note any deviation in background noise between tests, or any other anomalies. Repeat check on any additional radios. b. VOR Check With the nav radio on, tune to a local frequency and center the course needle with valid flag and To/From indication. Activate HID light(s), note any needle movement. (CDI, valid flag To/From) Also check for any other anomalies. Repeat check on any additional nav radios. c. ADF Check With the ADF/NDB on. Test at least three frequencies, one near the low ADF/NDB frequency range, one near the middle ADF/NDB frequency range and one in the higher ADF/NDB frequency range. Verify proper needle indication and valid flag. Activate HID light(s) and repeat frequency check. Note any deviation in needle indication or flag. Also check for any other anomalies. Repeat check on any additional ADF/NDB driven equipment. d. GPS Check Turn on GPS and set to a way - point at least 100 miles away. Center course needle by selecting “Direct To”. If multi function display is installed, verify valid course on map. Activate HID light(s). Note any deviation in readings. Also check for any other anomalies. Repeat test for each additional GPS. e. Additional Equipment Operate any other equipment and test for interference with the HID light(s). Individual equipment installation and/or operation manuals may be referenced for specific test procedures.
