Mounting on a helicopter

The Vertical Sensor Module is typically mounted on the boom,

close to the body. Use an installation procedure similar to boom

mounting for the Main Sensor Module. Alternatively, the Verti-

cal Sensor Module can be attached to the helicopter frame or

cockpit using the included double-sided adhesive strips.

Mounting the IRNet Router

The IRNet Router can be mounted anywhere on the aircraft, as

long as it does not obstruct the Sensors and it has unobstructed,

line-of-sight communication with the IRNet Programmer during

setup and preight checks.

If necessary, standard servo extensions can be used to connect the

IRNet Router to the Computer.

Tip: The IRNet Router is only required during system setup and

preight checks. If mounting or weight is a problem, it can be dis-

connected and left on the ground during ights. You will need to

reconnect it to change settings or perform preight checks.

Mounting the Co-Pilot™ II Computer

Mount the Computer in a manner similar to your receiver.

Full helicopter installation

The photo below shows how Co-Pilot components might be

mounted on a helicopter. Your installation may be different from

this.

Notice that in this installation, the Main Sensor Module is rotated

45° and mounted in the middle of the boom using the plastic

mounting block. This is not the ideal location, as the IR sensors

are partially blocked by the horizontal n. The Vertical Sen-

sor Module is mounted so that it has a clear view of the sky and

ground.
