2.3.4 IRD Ground Wire
A grounding wire (Cable #32-0583-50) has been provided to
connect your IRD to a suitable ground and protect the system.
Attach the grounding wire to any suitable screw on the rear
panel of the IRD with a good contact with the IRD chassis. The
other end should be connected to a suitable ground, such as the
vehicle’s power ground wire connected to the switchplate.
2.3.5 Installing the Switchplate
After completing the switchplate wiring process, you must install
the switchplate itself. This process, detailed in the following
steps, is illustrated in Figure 2-18.
1. Fit the switchplate assembly and support frame
into the panel cutout made in Step 2 in Section 2.3
and flush to the mounting surface.
2. Drill out four
5
⁄32" (4 mm) holes in the countersunk
settings in the switchplate support frame.
3. Drill four
3
⁄
32" (2 mm) holes in the mounting surface
using the countersunk holes in the support frame
as the template. Secure the support frame and
switchplate assembly to the mounting surface
using the four #6 self-cutting screws.
4. Snap the front cover into place to cover the screws
and support frame.
