3.3 Installation and Mounting Options

NEXSYS Modules include three mounting options 1) In-Line Boot, 2) Bracket, and 3) Rail (M81714/5-5, M81714/16-5 Series Mounting Track, Type 1).

In-line Boot Mounting

Figure 3.3.0.0-A

NEXSYS Modules shall use the In-Line Boot for harness mounting, and industry-standard methods shall be followed. The In-Line Boot is included with every NEXSYS Module and can be discarded if Bracket or Rail is used for mounting. Additional In-Line Boots may be ordered separately (P/N: 22-004).

Bracket Mounting

Figure 3.3.0.0-B

Right Angle Bracket: Mounts to a surface with fasteners (not included), with or without the NEXSYS Module installed. Insert the NEXSYS Module into the Right Angle Bracket until it has “clicked” securely into place. Removal of the NEXSYS Module from the Right Angle Bracket involves releasing side retaining clips. It is not necessary to remove the Right Angle Bracket from the mounting surface to release the NEXSYS Module. Bracket hole spacing is consistent with many standard relay mounting options.

Right angle brackets may be ordered with the NEXSYS Module or separately (P/N: 22-005).

Figure 3.3.0.0-C

Flush Bracket: Mounts to a surface with fasteners (not included), and the NEXSYS Module is installed securely between the Flush Bracket mounting surface. Removal of the NEXSYS Module from the Flush Bracket involves removing the fasteners. Flush Bracket mounting-hole spacing is consistent with many standard relay mounting options.

Flush brackets may be ordered with the NEXSYS Module or separately (P/N: 22-011).

Rail Mounting

Figure 3.3.0.0-D

NEXSYS Modules mount into the Type 1 Rail (M81714/5-5, M81714/16-5) and secure into place, using the locking clamp included with the Rail. Each NEXSYS Modules requires two Rail positions. Removal of the NEXSYS Module from Rail involves releasing the locking clamp.

M81714 Series Mounting Track, Type 1 Rails with capacity for up to 3 NEXSYS Modules are available from Applied Avionics and may be ordered separately, Standard (P/N: 22-026).
