Field-Replaceable Legends
Legend RemovalLegend Replacement
To replace a legend, align the text correctly, and then apply gentle pressure
until the body of the legend support seats firmly into the faceplate.
Once the new legend is in place, ensure that it has seated correctly by
checking that it illuminates. The unit is now ready for use.
Jupiter Avionics Corporation (JAC) products have field-replaceable illuminated
legends. This permits easy customization, and allows the same units to be used
in multiple different configurations with only minimal changes.
The internal circuitry ensures that, although the legends are individually
illuminated, the illumination is consistent and uniform throughout all
legends, andnever needs to be balanced. This means that if it is a requirement
to change the labelling due to damage or for a different project, there is no
need for costly and time-consuming illumination checks.
