Frequently Asked Questions

Primary Kits
.
12. Q. Are Super Kits compatible with the primary connectors on existing transformers or those manufactured by others?
.
A. Yes and no. The plug and receptacle dimensions are fully in conformance with the requirements of the relevant FAA Advisory Circular 150/5345-26C, and the 54Super kits are certified by ETL to this AC. Therefore they will properly mate with any connector that meets the FAA requirements, such as those of other ETL certified transformers. However a qualified no applies to the AmerSeal feature. To be fully effective, AmerSeal requires a change in the outer shape of the transformer connectors. All Amerace transformers shipped after May 1, 1997, have this modified shape to allow a full second water seal when used with an AmerSeal. If the transformer connectors do not have this profile (whether Amerace® transformers built prior to May 1, 1997, or those built by others), then AmerSeal will provide extra protection from dirt and water, but we cannot guarantee a full second water seal. See the next two questions for more.
