Grounds externally through a switch to enable intercom bypass. Mike/Phones Ground Dedicated isolated shield ground for audio pathways. Step-by-Step Installation Procedures 1. Mechanical Mounting & Avionics Stack Setup
Use shielded wire for microphone and audio lines to prevent EMI/RFI noise in the cockpit.
Detailed procedures for aircraft electrical systems and secondary equipment installations are outlined in FAA Advisory Circulars, specifically AC 43.13-1B. These documents provide the acceptable methods, techniques, and practices for aircraft alterations.
Finding a "full" paper manual for the Narco Escort II can be difficult since Narco Avionics is no longer in business. However, core installation data and wiring diagrams are available through archival aviation resources. 🛠️ Installation Resources
Run an 18 AWG red wire from the avionics master bus through a to the +14 VDC Power Pin.
Center the CDI needle using the Omni Bearing Selector (OBS) knob.
: Requires sufficient passive or active ventilation clearance within the radio stack to prevent thermal drift. P301 Master Connector Pinout
Uses a gas discharge display for frequencies and a row of lights (instead of mechanical needles) to show VOR/LOC deviations. Operational Characteristics
: Antennas must be electrically connected to the aircraft ground plane. For composite or thin-skinned aircraft, a doubler plate is required for structural integrity and electrical performance. Intercom and Audio Setup The Escort II includes a built-in 50 mW audio amplifier.
Before beginning any installation, it is vital to identify which Narco unit you possess, as the installation requirements can differ slightly. The primary units associated with the "Escort II" name are the and the NAV/COM radio units .
Mounting trays, connectors, and hardware for legacy avionics can often be found through specialized aviation parts suppliers or certified repair stations. Ensuring that any replacement parts meet TSO (Technical Standard Order) requirements is essential for maintaining airworthiness.
