components supplied with the list in Section 1.6 (B). If any claim is to be made, save the shipping mate-
rial and contact the freight carrier. Do NOT return units damaged in shipping to Bendix/King. If the unit

2.3 Equipment Installation Procedures

2.3.1

Cooling Requirements

Forced air-cooling of the KMA 30 is not required. However, the units should be kept away from heat pro-
ducing sources (i.e. defrost or heater ducts, dropping resistors, heat producing avionics) without adequate
cooling air provided.
2.3.2

Mounting Requirements

The KMA 30 must be rigidly mounted to the instrument panel of the aircraft structure, within view and
reach of the pilot position(s). Installation must comply with FAA Advisory Circular AC 43.13-2B, or
other FAA-approved aircraft technical data. The unit may be mounted in any area where adequate clear-
ance for the unit and associated wiring bundle exist.
To prevent noise, avoid installing the unit close to high current devices or systems with high-voltage pulse
type outputs, such as DME or transponders. Avoid running the interconnecting bundles near any high
current wires.
2.3.3

Audio Panel Mounting Rack Installation

Remove the unit from the mounting tray by unscrewing the 3/32" hex-head screw that is in the center of
the unit. Use caution to avoid hitting the photo-detector lens. Carefully slide the unit free of the tray. Set
