SM32A Installation and Operation Manual
Section 1.O Description
1.1 Introduction
This manual contains information on the VR28-013 DCIDC Power Converter (serial numbers 1221 and
later).
Information in this section consists of purpose of equipment, features and specifications.
1.2 Purpose of Equipment
The VR28-013 is an efficient voltage converter designed to power non-aircraft radios or equipment from a
28 Vdc aircraft power buss. It is a remote bulkhead mounted unit designed to convert a nominal +28 Vdc input
to a nominal +13 Vdc output at up to 6 Amps.
1.3 Features
The VR28-013 uses the same switched-mode power supply (SMPS) circuitry utilized by NT-series radios
to provide constant output power without excessive heat generation.
The unit has remote onloff switching.
An output power LED is provided to give a visual indication that the unit is operating
Power In, Power Out, and Ground pins are grouped together and internally connected for installation
versatility.
The unit has over-voltage and reverse-voltage protection to ensure operation in severe aircraft
environments.
1.4.1 Electrical Specifications
Power Supply: Switched-mode regulated power supply with input reverse-polarity, over-current, over-
voltage, and output short-circuit protection.
Operating Voltages
Nominal +28.0 Vdc
Minimum +22.0 Vdc
Maximum +30.3 Vdc
Emergency +18.0 Vdc

2.1 Introduction
- -
Information in this section consists of: unpacking and inspection procedures, installation procedures,
post-installation checks, and installation drawings.
2.2
i
Unpacking and Inspection -
Unpack the equiprnent carefully. lnspect the unit visually for darnage due to shipping and report al1 such
clairns irnmediately to the carrier involved. Note that each unit should have the following:
- VR28-013 DClDC Power Converter
- Product Information Card
- Release certification
Verify that al1 items are present before proceeding and report any shortage irnrnediately to your supplier.
2.2.1 Warranty
All Anodyne Electronics Manufacturing Corp. (AEM) products are warranted for 2 years. See the website
www.aern-corp.cornlwarranty for cornplete details.
2.3 Installation Procedures
2.3.1 Warnings
Do not bundle any lines frorn this unit with transrnitter coax lines. Do not bundle any logic or audio lines
with this unit. Do not position this unit next to anv device with audio interfaces, or sisnificant audio
interference will result.
2.3.2 Cautions
In al1 installations, use shielded cable exactly as shown, and ground as indicated. Significant problerns
rnay result frorn not following these guidelines.
2.3.3 Cablina and Wirina
All wiring should be at least 22 AWG, except power and ground lines, which should be at least 18 AWG.
Ensure that al1 ground connections are clean and well secured.
All unshielded wire shall be selected in accordance with AC43.13-1 B Change 1, Paragraphs 11-76
through 11-78. Wire types should be to MIL-W-22759 as specified in AC43.13-1 B Change 1, Paragraphs
11-85, 11-86, and listed in Table 11-11. For shielded wire applications, use Tefzel MIL-C-27500 shielded

wire with solder sleeves (for shield terminations) to make the most compact and easily terminated
interconnect. Follow the wiring diagrams in Section 2.6 as required.
Allow 3 inches from the end of the wire to the shield termination to allow the hood to be easily installed.
Note that the hood is a 'clamshell' hood, and is installed after the wiring is complete.
All wiring should be at least 22 AWG, except power and ground lines, which should be at least 20 AWG.
Ensure that al1 ground connections are clean and well secured.
2.3.4 Post-Installation Checks
If any preset requires adjustment, be sure this is carried out before the aircraft leaves, and that the unit
and its mating connector are secured before departure. Make al1 required log book entries, electrical
load, weight and balance amendments and other papenvork as required by your local regulatory agency.
2.3.4.1 Voltaaelresistance checks
Do not attach the VR28-013 until the following conditions are met.
Check the following:
a) Check harness pins < l * , *2* and <9* for +28 Vdc relative to ground.
b) Ensure +13 Vdc lines pins <6>, <7> and <14> are not shorted to ground.
c) Check P101, pins <4> < I l > and <12* for continuity to ground (less than 0.5 R).
2.3.4.2 Power On checks
Power up the aircraft's system with the VR28-013 installed, and confirm that the unit is operating properly
and the Power Output LED is on.
Double-check that the mounting and connector hardware is tightened securely.
Upon satisfactory completion of al1 performance checks, rnake the required log entries and
complete the necessary Regulatory Agency paperwork before releasing the aircraft for service.
2.4 Continued Airworthiness
Maintenance of the VR28-013 is 'on condition' only. Periodic maintenance of this product is not required.
