Bendix/King KLN 94 GLOBAL POSITIONING SYSTEM
006-00784-0000
1.0 INTRODUCTION
The KLN 94 GPS is designed to be a pin-for-pin compatible replacement for the KLN 89B GPS. It has all
the capabilities of the KLN 89B GPS but with the advantages of utilizing a color liquid crystal display. The
KLN 94 GPS also can provide tuning data to the Bendix/King® KX 155A and KX 165A VHF NAV/COM
radios if the interface wiring is installed. This function is identified as QuickTune™ and the interface is
defined in Section 4 of this manual.
WARNING: THIS A SAMPLE OF THE WARNING STYLE. THE LEFT MARGIN HAS A HANGING INDENT
OF .75 AND THE RIGHT MARGIN IS INDENTED .25. BOLD FONT, UPPER CASE.
Exercise extreme care when unpacking the unit. Make a visual inspection for evidence of damage
incurred during shipment. If a claim for damage is to be made, save the shipping container to
substantiate the claim. When all equipment is removed, place all packing materials in the shipping
container to facilitate unit storage or reshipment.
The only tools required for installation are those common tools normally used by an aircraft mechanic.
Refer to the KLN 94 Installation Manual 006-10564-00XX (XX will define the latest revision) for additional
information.
IMPORTANT
The Bendix/King® KLN 94 GPS is approved under this STC as a replacement for the pre-existing KLN
89B GPS. The KLN 94 GPS is approved for IFR enroute, IFR terminal, and IFR non-precision approach
operations as long as the following conditions are met:
• The existing KLN 89B installation is approved for IFR enroute, IFR terminal, and IFR non-precision
approach operations.
• No changes are made to the approved GPS antenna installation or the GPS RF coax installation.
• No changes are made to the approved KLN 89B GPS rack location or mounting.
• The existing KLN 89B AFMS is replaced with the approved KLN 94 AFMS.
No changes to the aircraft structure are necessary when replacing the KLN 89B GPS with the KLN 94
GPS.
The following current draws are for the components applicable to this STC.
No changes to the power distribution are necessary when replacing the KLN 89B GPS with the KLN 94
GPS.
The cockpit items to be installed for the KLN 94 GPS RNAV are the KLN 94 GPS unit.
If the aircraft is equipped with a Bendix/King KLN 89B GPS receiver, the KLN 89B unit can be removed
and a KLN 94 unit installed. No changes to the existing mounting rack or electrical harness is required.
In addition to the color display, the KLN 94 has additional features/functions over the KLN 89B. When the
KLN 94 additional features are utilized in existing KLN 89B installations, wiring harness changes may be
necessary.
QuickTune™ is a feature that allows the KLN 94 GPS to enter a VHF COMM or VHF NAV frequency into
the standby window of either KX 155A or KX 165A NAVCOM. This interface is optional, i.e., it is not a
required interface in order for the KLN 94 GPS to provide navigation guidance. Refer to Section 4 for
wiring information.
NOTE: The KLN 94 GPS QuickTune™ function is compatible with the following radios:
KX 155A with mod 8 and the KX 165A. The KX 155A/KX 165A radio(s) must be configured to accept
tuning data from the KLN 94 GPS. In addition, the KLN 94 GPS needs to be configured so it knows
the type and number of compatible radios that are installed. Refer to Section 5 for the KLN 94 GPS
configuration information.
Any one of the database cards in the table below may be used with the KLN 94 GPS. The KLN 94 GPS
power should be turned off before a database cartridge is inserted or removed. The database card is
keyed to prevent incorrect insertion. Database information is updated via subscription with Honeywell
International Inc.; either by database card, data disk update, or via Internet.
Alternately, the data base card may be updated electronically with new database data using a laptop
computer. The laptop computer must be IBM compatible and have an open COM port (1, 2, 3, or 4). New
data is obtained via the internet or via data diskette as described in the following sections.
Current database data can be obtained via the INTERNET at the following address:
http://www.gpsdatabase.com
Store the new database on the hard drive in the PC. Then connect the laptop to the KLN 94 via the PC
loader kit P/N 050-03213-0000. Turn on the KLN 94 to the SET 3 page. Then run the program
NETLOAD.EXE and follow the appropriate instructions.
IFR navigation for the KLN 94 GPS is prohibited unless a current database card is installed.
Following installation of the KLN 94 GPS, install Flight Manual Supplement P/N 006-00879-0000 in the
Pilot’s Operating Handbook (POH).
The following entry is to be made in the aircraft logbook upon completion of the installation:
SEE FAA 337, DATED FOR DETAILS OF THE BENDIX/KING KLN 94 GPS INSTALLED IN
ACCORDANCE WITH STC SA00910WI-D.
The KLN 94 GPS utilizes two independent software (SW) loads to operate. The BOOT SW load level is
identified on an ID sticker located on top of the unit chassis. The APPLICATION SW load level is viewed
with the KLN 94 GPS operating and is shown on the AUX 14 page, refer to the illustration below. In order
to document the SW configuration of the KLN 94 GPS that is installed in the airframe, the following entry
must be made in the aircraft logbook:
WHERE, “XX/XX” represents the SW REVISION level as shown on the AUX 14 page.
“DD-MM-YYYY” represents the day, month, and year of the unit’s installation.
Refer to AUX 14 illustration below (note example shows SW 01/02):
The following diagrams show the electrical wiring necessary for proper installation of the KLN 94 GPS in
Cessna models 172R, 172S, 182S, 206H, and T206H.
SECTION 4 CONTENTS:
This procedure is divided into two major sections. Section 5.1 details with stand alone installations in
which none of the signal input/output capability of the unit is utilized, (except for the RF input signal from
the antenna). In this type of installation the only connections to the KLN 94 are the cable from the GPS
antenna, the aircraft power and ground leads, and the lighting bus wires.
NOTE: All output data is read from the unit front panel display and all input to the unit is via the front panel
controls.
Sections 5.2 through 5.6 of this procedure deal with an installation in which some or all of the electrical
signal I/O has been utilized. The installer/technician need only reference the paragraphs that would apply
to the particular installation, e.g., if the installation does not have a moving map display, the paragraph
outlining testing a moving map display interface may be disregarded.
It is assumed that the operator’s manual for the various units connected to the KLN 94 (as well as the
manual for the KLN 94 itself), are available or that the installer is familiar with operating the units.
Since the KLN 94 is a replacement GPS for the pre-existing KLN 89B GPS, the unit may be installed in
the existing rack with no required wiring modifications. Ensure aircraft power is turned off before inserting
the unit into the mounting rack.
Manipulate the controls as necessary to display the SET 1 Page on the screen. On the SET 1 Page,
enter either the airport name or the present position (latitude and longitude) of the installation location.
Also verify the current date and verify the KLN 94 time is accurate to within 10 minutes and update if
necessary.
At this point the aircraft will need to be moved to a location known to have adequate GPS signal coverage
if it is not in a good coverage area already. This implies an outside location away from tall structures that
could mask low elevation satellites. (To speed up the next test it is helpful to turn unit power off then on
again once the system is away from structures).
Manipulate the controls as necessary to gain access to the AUX 1 “GPS STATUS” page. The STATE
shown on the display should change from INIT (Initialize) to ACQ (Acquire). Following a period of not
more than 5 minutes, (typically two minutes depending upon the satellite coverage), the unit should
display Latitude and Longitude values on the NAV 2 Page that are correct for the aircraft location.
NOTE: If the unit has not been turned on for 6 months, the unit may take up to 20 minutes to calculate an
accurate position.
Select the AUX 2 page and verify that no asterisks appear next to any satellite vehicle designation (SV)
with an elevation greater than 25°. Select 121.15 MHz on COMM 1. Transmit for a period of 20 seconds
and verify that no asterisks appear next to SVs with an elevation of greater than 25°. Repeat for the
following frequencies 121.175, 121.20, 131.250, 131.275, and 131.30 MHz. Repeat the above procedure
for all VHF COMM transmitters on board the aircraft.
If any asterisks appear on satellites with greater than 25° during the above tests, it will be necessary to
identify the source of the interference.
The 12th and 13th harmonics of the above mentioned frequencies can be radiated from the VHF COMM at
a level strong enough to be a problem to the GPS but still meet TSO requirements for the VHF COMM. If
the interference is from the radiating VHF COMM, an optional notch filter (i.e. the KA 198 P/N 071-01565-
0000 or TED Mfg. 4-70-54) will need to be installed. The recommended location for the inline filter should
be as close to the VHF RT as practical.
The other possible source for GPS interference is the re-radiated RF energy from an ELT during a VHF
COMM transmission. The radiated RF from the VHF COMM can excite the output tank circuit of the ELT
and cause it to oscillate and re-radiate broadband RF energy strong enough to interfere with the GPS. If
disconnecting the ELT antenna eliminates the GPS interference, the manufacturer of the ELT should be
contacted for a recommended solution.
NOTE: This test must be conducted outside and away from buildings. This test can also be accomplished
during flight testing.
To ensure proper KLN 94 operation in a post-KLN 89B installation, a one-time configuration set up must
be performed to store aircraft specific data into the KLN 94 configuration module. To begin the
configuration procedure follow the steps below:
With the KLN 94 turned off, depress and hold the MSG button while turning the unit on. Continue holding
in the MSG button and observe the KLN 94 display as the unit initializes. When the display momentarily
blanks, continue holding the MSG button in for 10 +/- 2 seconds, release it for 1 second, then depress the
MSG button momentarily. If the KLN 94 internal configuration memory is different from the external
module memory, the following page will be displayed:
If the external configuration module data is to be copied to the KLN 94 OR if the existing configuration
data will be modified, then merely press the ENT button.
If the KLN 94 internal configuration is to be stored into the external configuration module, then move the
cursor to the “Select” data field to highlight number. Using the inner knob, select option 2. Now move the
cursor back to the “Ok” data field and press ENT.
The next page to appear is referred to as the Maintenance page 1. The “+” symbol indicates page 1 has
more information that can be displayed on the screen at one time. To change the configuration, the
CRSR (cursor) button must be momentarily pressed to enable cursor selection of a data field. Since the
existing KLN 89B installation was IFR approved, verify that IFR is displayed. Using the outer knob will
move the cursor to the next data field. If the KLN 94 will be approved for non-precision approach
operations, ensure APR is displayed. Note that this line-item will not be displayed if the KLN 94 is
configured for VFR operations. If an altitude preselect device exists in the aircraft (typically part of the
flight control system) then the Altitude Alerting feature of the KLN 94 must be disabled. To select another
MNT page turn the cursor off and use the inner knob to select the desired MNT page.
The other data entries for MNT page 1 are: Fuel Management System (whether one is installed or not),
Airdata System (whether one is installed or not), and Emergency Battery (whether one is installed or not).
Make the appropriate selections according to the equipment that is interfaced with the KLN 94 GPS.
The MNT 2 page does not contain data entry fields. The information provided is for the benefit of the
technician or fleet manager.
The MNT 3 page contains the data entry field for OBS calibration of the KLN 94. Calibrate the KLN 94 as
follows:
The MNT 4 page shows voltage alert trip-point and alert time delay values. The voltage trip-point is
adjustable to the nearest 0.1 volt from 0.0 to 33.0 volts. The delay time is adjustable in whole seconds
from 0 to 99 seconds. These settings do not affect the KLN 94 GPS capability to provide navigation
guidance, and are therefore a feature that can be configured according to owner/pilot preference.
1. The MNT 5 page shows the QuickTune™ configuration page. Using the cursor function, enter in the
appropriate data field how many COMMS (if any) and how many NAVS (if any) are interfaced with the
KLN 94 RS 232 QuickTune™ databus. The example shown below reflects a KLN 94 GPS that is
configured to communicate with 2 QuickTune™ compatible COMMs and 2 QuickTune™ compatible
NAV radios.
Figure 5-3
NOTE: The KLN 94 GPS QuickTune™ function is compatible with the following radios: KX 155A with mod 8
and the KX 165A. These radios must be configured according to their system function in the aircraft,
i.e., system #1 or system #2, etc for QuickTune™ to function correctly. Reference the appropriate
installation manual for KX 155A/KX 165A configuration steps.
2. The MNT 6 page shows the choices available for Approach ARM and Approach Active annunciations
as they would appear on the KLN 94 GPS display. The annunciation nomenclature displayed on
the KLN 94 must match the discrete annunciator/switches that are installed in the aircraft. The
configuration choice is made using the cursor function.
3. The MNT 7 page allows the user to choose which format RS232 will be transmitted from the KLN 94
GPS to an Multi-Function Display (MFD). Unless otherwise noted, the KLN 94 GPS must be
configured to transmit the STANDARD RS232 format.
This concludes the configuration procedure. The KLN 94 must be turned off then on to perform the
remaining steps of the installation checkout procedure.
If the KLN 94 GPS is configured and the wiring is in place to provide ALT ALERT output, the alert may be
checked by cycling power on the KLN 94. Upon approval of the Self Test Page, five (5) beeps will be
issued on the audio output and five (5) alert bursts will be produced by the ALT ALERT output.
NOTE: This feature should be disabled if another altitude alerting device exists in the aircraft.
Heading information is used by the KLN 94 to aid in the calculation of wind vectors and for heading
orientation of the NAV 4 page or moving map. It is an optional interface. RS 232 heading information
may be provided from an analog to RS 232 converter, such as the Shadin fuel/air data device through the
RS 232 input.
Display the NAV 4 page and select the HDG orientation to test the heading function. If a valid heading
source is available, the HDG orientation will be selectable. Turn the cursor on the NAV 4 Page to display
the heading value when the HDG orientation is selected.
With the KLN 94 GPS and the QuickTune™ compatible radios turned on, select page APT 5 on the KLN
94 GPS. Activate the cursor and using the outer knob, move the cursor to highlight a frequency that is
desired to be sent to the VHF COMM radio. The flashing ENT prompt should be present once a
frequency is highlighted. If the ENT button is pressed, the KLN 94 will either send the channeling data to
the radio or it will prompt which system radio the data should be sent to. The inner knob should be used
to select the desired system number radio to send the frequency data. Pressing ENT again will send the
data to the designated system radio.
The same procedure can be used when channeling the VHF NAV by accessing the VOR 1 page on the
KLN 94 GPS. Activate the cursor and using the outer knob, move the cursor to highlight the frequency
that is desired to be sent to the VHF NAV radio. The flashing ENT prompt should be present once a
frequency is highlighted. If the ENT button is pressed, the KLN 94 will either send the channeling data to
the radio or it will prompt which system radio the data should be sent to. The inner knob should be used
to select the desired system number radio to send the frequency data. Pressing ENT again will send the
data to the designated system radio.
If the KLN 94 is interfaced to a moving map display, verify operation by moving the aircraft out to an open
location to acquire a satellite position. Activate a flight plan or waypoint to develop a presentation on the
map. Verify proper orientation of the flightplan on the MAP display.
NOTE: Some moving map displays will show a default orientation of “North Up” if there is no track or heading
information present.
This section covers any required and/or recommended maintenance practices for the continued
airworthiness of the KLN 94 GPS system.
