How long does it take to set up the PBS-4100 system?
Setup of the PBS-4100 is very easy. The system only requires an engine speed signal and one or two vibration signals. On newer aircraft, these signal are all available at the AVM maintenance connector and connection time is typically less than 15 minutes. On aircraft without AVMs, users connect directly to the engine to get these signals. Because this involves opening the engine cowls and running cables up to the cockpit area, connection time will average about 30 minutes.
