AT 150 TSO Faceplate installation directions
Before
you begin: Check to see if you received the proper faceplate insert. Are
the numbers the same as your radio? Does it fit correctly? Although the
holes and text will be the same, many faceplate manufacturers made
different widths or heights of the same faceplate. (Just to make life a
little more interesting)
| 1. |
Have this insert installed by an avionics shop if you do not
have all the proper tools, are not a qualified technician or are
not sure you are capable of doing this job. |
| 2. |
If your faceplate does not need painting, go to #8. Set the
identification code numbers to 7777. (For ease of re-assembly) The
faceplate will have to be removed from the radio by removing the 4
screws, 2 on each side. |
| 3. |
Tape up the identification code numbers area and the knobs (only
if needed) to protect it from painting. Also tape the backside to
protect it from any paint over spray. |
| 4. |
Fill any dents with a plastic filler or
similar material. |
| 5. |
Lightly sand with a fine grit
sandpaper for good paint adhesion. |
| 6. |
Paint the faceplate with a quality
paint such as Krylon'sŪ 1613 Semi-Flat Black paint. |
| 7. |
Remove the protective tape. |
| 8. |
To have the new faceplate's text light up,
sand the areas were the text is on the original factory faceplate
until the white paint is removed. |
| 9. |
Remove the double face tape backing
from the new insert. |
| 10. |
Place the new inserts onto the
faceplate. Reinstall faceplate onto the radio and attach it
using the 4 screws. |
| 11. |
Tell all your aircraft buddies about
Aircraft Engravers and place the enclosed sticker on the metal
case for future reference. |
