KXP 2290 SECTION II INSTALLATION GENERAL INFORMATION This section contains suggestions and factors to consider before installing the KXP 2290 Mode S Transponder. Close adherence to these suggestions will assure a more satisfactory performance from the equipment. The conditions and test required for the TSO and MOPS approval of this article are minimum per- formance standards.
The length of the wires to parallel pins should be approximately the same length, so that the best distribution of current can be effected. Honeywell recommends that all wires, including spares as shown on the interconnect diagram be included in the fabrication of the wiring harness. However;...

KXP 2290 The length and routing of the external cables must be carefully planned before at- tempting the actual installation. Avoid sharp bends or locating the cable near aircraft control cables. The cables should be of a length to allow for a “maintenance loop”. That is, the length should be adequate to access and extend the connectors aft of the panel for future maintenance purposes.
KXP 2290 Consult manufacturer’s coaxial cable data sheet specifications. Using the length of the top and/or bottom antenna cables and the manufacturer speci- fied dB loss per foot of cable type, select a particular type or types of cable that meet the top and bottom cable loss limitations. In anticipation of aging factors, it is advisable to select a cable type that has an insertion loss that when combined with interconnect losses will equal a dB loss significantly low- er than 2 dB.
2.3.3.1 Transponder And Mounting Tray Locations The KXP 2290 Mode S Transponder shares a mounting tray with the Honeywell APEX KMC 2210 controller and is part of the APEX cockpit panel configuration. Except for antenna cables the lengths of the cables from the KXP 2290 transponder mounting tray connector to other system units are not critical because unit interfaces are designed with high im- pedance inputs, low impedance outputs, and low noise susceptibility characteristics.

KXP 2290 For removal, turn the 3-32 inch Allen wrench counter-clockwise until the unit disen- gages from the mounting tray slot. If all connectors are removed, the unit can be pulled completely out of the rack. For additional KXP 2290 installation information, refer to FIGURE 2-2 KXP 2290 INSTALLATION DRAWING as required...
