The Analysis: The Processor Select Panel, 7-F511F00121-1 (NSN: 1290-01-438-6575), is from an Apache Longbow AH-64D. The Panel is rather simple but it will work for my Navigation Computer Select and Fault Panel
I plan on installing it just forward of my side stick, on the right-hand side of the cockpit. I have looked all over the Internet for an interconnection list or printouts but I can not seem to find one. So it seems that I am going to do this the old fashion way and create one myself. Luckily my panel had the mating connector and a pigtail on it. So this is what you will need the following:
- Your favorite DVM
- A voltage source (5vdc)
- The connector's "Contact Arrangement"
- Wire stripper (thermal is a must), as this is Teflon-covered wire. you can find then on eBay for about $99.00+
- assorted screwdrivers and other tools
- notepaper, computer, etc.
