INSTALLATION

Introduction

• This section contains unpacking and inspection procedures, installation information, and post-installation checks.

Continued Airworthiness

• Maintenance of the JB39-401 is on condition only. Scheduled inspection and/or periodic maintenance of this unit is not required.

Unpacking and Inspecting Equipment

• Unpack the equipment carefully. Check for shipping damage and report any problems to the relevant carrier. Confirm that the Certificate of Conformance is included.
• Complete the online warranty card from the Jupiter Avionics Corporation (JAC) website – www.jupiteravionics.com/warrantyregistration.

Warranty

• All JB39 products manufactured by JAC are warranted to be free of defects in workmanship or performance for 2 years from the date of purchase from an approved JAC dealer or agency. This warranty covers the cost of all materials and labor to repair or replace the unit but does not include the cost of transporting the defective unit to and from JAC or its designated warranty repair centre, or of removing and replacing the defective unit in the aircraft. This warranty does not cover failures due to abuse, misuse, accident, or unauthorized alteration or repairs.
• If the online warranty card is not completed, the product will be warranted from the date of manufacture.
• Contact JAC for return authorization, and for any questions regarding this warranty and how it applies to your unit(s).
• JAC is the final arbiter concerning warranty issues.

Installation Procedures

• WARNING: Loud noise can cause hearing damage. Set audio system headset volumes to a minimum before conducting tests, and slowly increase the volume to a comfortable listening level.

Installation Limitations

• The JB39 may be installed only by following the applicable airworthiness requirements.

Cabling and Wiring

• All wires shall be selected under the original aircraft manufacturer’s maintenance instructions, or AC43.13- 1B Change 1, Paragraphs 11-76 through 11-78. Unshielded wire types shall qualify for MIL-W-22759 as specified in AC43.13-1B Change 1, Paragraphs 11-85, 11-86, and listed in Table 11-11. For shielded wire applications, use Tefzel MIL-C-27500 shielded wire with tag ring or equivalent (for shield terminations) to make the most compact and easily terminated interconnect.
• Follow the Connector Map in Appendix A of this manual.
• Allow 3” from the end of the shielded wiring to the shield termination to allow the connector hood to be easily installed.
• Refer to the Interconnect drawing in Appendix A of this manual for shield termination details. Note that this unit has a clamshell’ hood that is installed after the wiring is complete.
• Maintain wire segregation and route wiring under the original aircraft manufacturer’s maintenance instructions.
• Unless otherwise noted, all wiring shall be a minimum of 24 AWG, except power and ground lines, which shall be a minimum of 22 AWG. Refer to the Interconnect drawing for additional specifications.
• Check that the ground connection is clean and well secured and that it shares no path with any electrically noisy aircraft accessories such as blowers, turn-and-bank instruments, or similar loads.

Mechanical Installation

• The JB39-401 can be mounted in any attitude and location with sufficient clearance for the connector body.
• It requires no direct cooling.
• Post Installation Checks
• Voltage/Resistance checks.

Do not attach this unit until the following conditions are met:

• a) Check all pins for shorts to ground or adjacent pins.

Configuration

• The JB39 has no configuration options.

Power on Checks.

• Power up the aircraft’s systems and confirm the operation of all functions of the JB39.
• a) Begin with a low-impedance headset attached. Confirm correct operation for both Mic and phone output. Do not proceed until the headsets are functioning correctly.
• b) Unusual buzzes, hums, or other background audio are symptomatic of multiple grounds, or noisy external systems such as blowers or pumps sharing wiring with the audio system.

System Operation

Microphone Operation

• For each user, the JB39-401 amplifies the USER MIC INPUT audio and routes it to the same user’s USER MIC OUTPUT.
• The JB39-401 accepts a MIC BIAS, DC as an input to the USER MIC OUTPUT.

Phones Operation

• The JB39-401 routes the USER PHONES INPUT audio directly to the USER PHONES OUTPUT.

Installation Kit

• The kit required to install this unit is not included with the unit. The installation kit (Part # INST-JB394x) consists of the following:
