INSTALLATION PROCEDURES AND LIMITATIONS Installation Precautions Approval of the Model FA2100 CVR installation is not authorized by this Installation and Operating Instruction Manual. Acceptance of the installation and use of the FA2100 CVR and its associated components must be sought from the cognizant Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) office or other certifying authority.
Page 24: Installation Acceptance By Field Approval Method
Bulk ERASE feature is installed, at least one interlock is required to prevent accidental erasure of the FA2100 CVR. If the BULK ERASE feature is not desired, pin 55 (ERASE A) of the FA2100 CVR must be grounded to pin 17. Pin 57 remains open.
Page 25: Power Requirements
The FA2100 CVR operates with input voltages of either 115 Vac at 400 Hz, or 28 Vdc. The FA2100 CVRs draw a maximum of 12 watts ac or 10.5 watts dc. The electrical connector is a 57-pin DPXB connector that is compatible with ARINC 757 (Part Number is 063E1072–00, Cannon Part Number...
