The mechanical section of the manual details the positioning and physical securing of the mounting tray. Proper placement guarantees structural integrity and adequate thermal cooling.
The pinout diagrams are numbered clearly, and each terminal’s function is described in a table with voltage/current ratings. For example, the Kt 70’s power input (typically 12/24V DC) and output relay contacts are separated by function, reducing short-circuit risks.
Dispose of the KT 70 and its components per local electronic waste regulations. Kt 70 Installation Manual
The KT 70 requires an altitude reporting source for Mode C and Mode S functionality.
Solution: Verify that the aircraft's unique ICAO code is correctly wired/strapped on the configuration pins of the installation harness. The mechanical section of the manual details the
Following the manual’s checklist is critical for FAA Part 43 compliance.
The KT 70 mounts directly into a standard 6.25-inch aircraft avionics stack using the dedicated BendixKing mounting sleeve. For example, the Kt 70’s power input (typically
Signal and altitude encoder lines require 22 AWG or 24 AWG wire.
RG-142 or low-loss specialty cable (e.g., Electronic Cable Specialists 311601).
To transmit Mode C or Mode S altitude data, the transponder must receive a valid signal from an altitude encoder or air data computer. The manual outlines two primary methods for this:
