10、nc., the AEEC, and ARINC Standards ARINC organizes aviation industry committees and participates in related industry activities that benefit aviation at large by providing technical leadership and guidance. These activities directly support aviation industry goals: promote safety, efficiency, regula
11、rity, and cost-effectiveness in aircraft operations. ARINC Industry Activities organizes and provides the secretariat for international aviation organizations (AEEC, AMC, FSEMC) which coordinate the work of aviation industry technical professionals and lead the development of technical standards for
12、 airborne electronic equipment, aircraft maintenance equipment and practices, and flight simulator equipment used in commercial, military, and business aviation. The AEEC, AMC, and FSEMC develop consensus-based, voluntary standards that are published by ARINC and are known as ARINC Standards. The us
13、e of ARINC Standards results in substantial technical and economic benefit to the aviation industry. There are three classes of ARINC Standards: a) ARINC Characteristics Define the form, fit, function, and interfaces of avionics and other airline electronic equipment. ARINC Characteristics indicate
14、to prospective manufacturers of airline electronic equipment the considered and coordinated opinion of the airline technical community concerning the requisites of new equipment including standardized physical and electrical characteristics to foster interchangeability and competition. b) ARINC Spec
15、ifications Are principally used to define either the physical packaging or mounting of avionics equipment, data communication standards, or a high-level computer language. c) ARINC Reports Provide guidelines or general information found by the airlines to be good practices, often related to avionics
16、 maintenance and support. The release of an ARINC Standard does not obligate any organization or ARINC to purchase equipment so described, nor does it establish or indicate recognition or the existence of an operational requirement for such equipment, nor does it constitute endorsement of any manufa
17、cturers product designed or built to meet the ARINC Standard. In order to facilitate the continuous product improvement of this ARINC Standard, two items are included in the back of this volume: An Errata Report solicits any corrections to existing text or diagrams that may be included in a future S

COMMENTARY Up until the time of this standard, it was common for se
23、veral different types of cabin equipment boxes to be installed individually along the ceiling area of an aircraft fuselage. Each type of equipment box is different in design and size. Each type uses different connectors, grounding and bonding methods, installation brackets, and installation methods
24、for structural attachment. For each of these custom installations, the equipment must be located, connected, and mounted using individually designed provisions, custom cabling, and cable routing. These custom installations result in long lead times and excessive costs. This standard was prepared to
25、address these concerns. 1.2 Objective The principal objective of ARINC Specification 836 is to provide standardized packaging of cabin systems components. This standard is intended to enable simpler installation and maintenance of cabin equipment, resulting in time and cost reduction. Specifically,
26、ARINC Specification 836 is intended to provide the following benefits: Consistent equipment attachment methods Weight savings from the removal of adapter plates for new equipment Standard equipment installation positions Reduced design effort for brackets and adapter plates Reduced integration desig
27、n efforts Improved accessibility to installation areas Quick installation at final assembly Simplified routing concept for electrical connection of equipment Optimized length for connective cable bundles. Branches from the main routing are short and easily defined. Improved maintenance for airlines

ARINC SPECIFICATION 836 Page 3 2.0 MODULAR RACK PRINCIPLE 2.0 MODULAR RACK PRINCIPLE This specification defines a modular rack system, called Modular Rack Principle (MRP). MRP is a standardized mechanical and electrical installation principle for electrical equipment i
31、n the aircraft cabin crown area. The MRP includes standard equipment enclosures, mounting rails, and standard installation methods, including mechanical mounting and electrical bonding. The dimensions and specifications for equipment boxes and mounting rails, as well as mounting and bonding methods,
32、 are standardized in this document, allowing a homogeneous distribution of the equipment, flexible installation, and simplified reconfiguration and maintenance. Furthermore, all equipment is placed in optimal positions to reduce bundle length and simplify routing for installation. The MRP reduces in
33、stallation and maintenance cycles and eliminates the need for engineering investigations for custom installations. The MRP was developed to overcome the weight- and cost-intensive design, and time-intensive installation. The basic idea behind the MRP is to install a standard rail system in the crown
34、 area where standard cabin systems can be mounted. As shown in Figure 2-1, the MRP defines an integrated principle for attaching equipment to the standard mounting rails, which enables new equipment to be mounted without adapter plates. Existing (reused) equipment may be installed on adapter plates
35、to enable the installation on the rail system (see Figure 2-1).

36、sEquipment CoverRe-used EquipmentARINC SPECIFICATION 836 Page 4 3.0 EQUIPMENT LOCATION 3.0 EQUIPMENT LOCATION Cabin equipment should typically be located in the crown area of the aircraft. MRP rails should be installed in the over-ceiling parallel to the flight direction. Figure 3-1 shows a fuselage
37、 section with typical cabin equipment mounting arrangements. Connective cable bundles should be routed parallel to the equipment mounting rails. The equipment should be connected via branches from the main bundles. Figure 3-1 Typical Modular Rack in Crown Area RailRailsEquipmentCeilingStructureARINC
38、 SPECIFICATION 836 Page 5 4.0 DESIGN DESCRIPTION 4.0 DESIGN DESCRIPTION 4.1 Rails Rails should be installed on an as-needed basis, that is, when equipment is installed. Rails may be installed in the crown area anywhere along the length of the cabin and could be attached to frames or substructure. CO
39、MMENTARY Custom mounting brackets are considered a special case of mounting rails, but with fixed spacing of mounting holes. These brackets are considered equivalent to rails. The dimensions and spacing of mounting holes and the mounting and bonding methods described in this specification should app
40、ly. Figure 4-1 shows the mating area of the mounting interface details for the rails. Note: Only the mating area of the rails is shown in Figure 4-1. The rails will have a standard cross-sectional profile to increase their stiffness. Selection of the cross-sectional profile is at the designers discr
41、etion. The length of the rail should be related to the frame-to-frame distance (or a multiple of the frame-to-frame distance). The equipment mounting holes should have a 0.201 0.004 in (5.1 0.1 mm) diameter. The mounting hole spacing should be 1 in (25.4 mm) or a common multiple. If the mating faces
42、 are installed as independent rails (as shown in Figure 4-1), they should be installed with the help of a jig to ensure parallelism. Parallelism should be within 0.004 in (0.1 mm) based on the distance between corresponding attachment holes (see Figure 4-1 and Table 4-1). Dimensions are given in Tab

44、G 3 0.012 (76.2 0.3) H 0.2 0.002 (5.1 0.05) Stress calculations should be carried out for the worst case scenario of the attached equipment. The calculation should be done for the highest equipment mounting density. The weight of size 1 equipment should be a maximum of 9.93 lb. (4.5 kg). The weight
45、of size 2 equipment should be a maximum of 3.31 lb. (1.5 kg). COMMENTARY If rails are used for equipment bonding, the ampacity of the rail should be selected by the highest failure current of the assembled equipment. The rail ampacity depends on the rail section and conductivity of the selected mate
46、rial. 4.1.1 Equipment Installation The equipment base plate should have tabs on each corner with mounting holes to enable attachment to the rails (see Figure 4-2). The attachment principle consists of two elongated and two circular holes. The mounting hole dimensions and tolerances are provided in F
47、igure 4-3. Equipment should be installed to the rails with four screws, nuts, and shims (as required). Table 5-1 shows the mounting hole pattern and the dependence on the equipment size. Figure 4-2 Equipment Attachment Points ARINC SPECIFICATION 836 Page 7 4.0 DESIGN DESCRIPTION Figure 4-3 Interface
48、 Dimension and Tolerances The attachment of the equipment to the rail can be designed individually for the specific application as long as the equipment dimensions and mounting hole pattern are in accordance with this specification. A typical equipment mechanical installation is shown in Figure 4-4.
49、 The rail should be equipped with riveted self-locking nuts (e.g., NASM21070) at the applicable mounting locations, or simple self-locking screws (e.g., NAS5050) are used for equipment attachment. The equipment should be mounted using appropriate fasteners (e.g., NAS1802) and washers (e.g., NAS1149).
