KNI 582
SECTION 2
INSTALLATION
2.1 GENERAL
This section contains the suggestions and information to consider before installation of the
KNI 582 Radio Magnetic Indicator into the aircraft. Close adherence to these suggestions
will assure optimum performance from the equipment.
2.2 UNPACKING AND INSPECTING EQUIPMENT
Exercise extreme care when unpacking the equipment. Make a visual inspection of the
unit for evidence of damage during shipment. If a claim for damage is to be made, save
the shipping container to substantiate the claim. The claim should be promptly filed with
the transportation company. It would be advisable to retain the container and packing
material after all equipment has been removed, in the event that equipment storage or
reshipment should become necessary. The KNI 582 RMI installation will conform to
standards designated by the customer, installing agency and existing conditions as to unit
location and type of installation.
2.3 KNI 582 RMI INSTALLATION
A. Plan a location on the aircraft panel that is clearly visible to the pilot with the least
practicable deviation from his normal position and from his line of vision when he
is looking forward along the flight path.
B. Make certain that clearance is available for the installation of the cables and
connectors, and also that normal vibration does not cause the unit to bump
against other equipment cases.
C. If an instrument hole that meets the installation requirements is not available, cut
a 3" ATI hole per Figure 2-1. Secure the unit with four 3/4" long 6-32 instrument
screws.
D. The KNI 582 RMI may be secured in place from front or behind the panel.
2.4 POST INSTALLATION CHECK
These are tests designed to show that the KNI 582 RMI is functioning accurately under
broadly nominal conditions.
A. Compass Card Accuracy
1. With the aircraft on a known magnetic heading, this heading ±2° should be
under the lubber line of KNI 582 RMI.
