This manual contains information relative to the physical, mechanical, and electrical characteristics of the BENDIX/KING KLN 90B Global Positioning System (GPS) Receiver. General installation procedures are also included.
1.2 EQUIPMENT DESCRIPTION
The KLN 90B is a panel mounted, long range, GPS based airborne navigation system with a data
base. The primary purpose of the equipment is to provide the pilot with present position information and to display guidance information with respect to a flight plan defined by the pilot. Flight
plan information is entered by the pilot via various knobs and buttons on the front panel. The display consists of a right and left page and a status line at the bottom of the display. The information on the left page is controlled by the concentric knobs on the left side of the unit and the information on the right page is controlled by the concentric knobs on the right side of the unit.
Present position information will be displayed on the unit CRT or can also be displayed on an
EFIS or Radar Graphics unit.
The unit can use its present position information to determine crosstrack error, distance-to-waypoint, ground speed, track angle, time to waypoint, bearing to waypoint and advisory VNAV guidance. The internal data base of the KLN 90B contains information concerning airports, VORs,
NDBs, intersections, and outer markers throughout the world. Waypoints are stored in the data
base by their ICAO identifiers. The ICAO identifiers are in most cases taken directly from Jeppesen Sanderson or government aeronautical charts.
The information stored in the data base eventually becomes out of date; therefore, to provide a
means of updating the information, the database is housed in a cartridge which plugs into the
back of the KLN 90B. It is designed so that the user may easily remove the old database cartridge and install a current database cartridge. A secondary method of updating the database is
by loading the information via an IBM compatible laptop computer. For more information on availability and cost of updating the database of the KLN 90B refer to the KLN 90B Pilots Guide P/N
006-08773-0000.

NAV/GPS Switch/Annunciator
Installations where the outputs from KLN 90B and an existing navigation system are switched be-
tween a common indicator or HSI may require some type of annunciation. A NAV/GPS switch/annunciator is available that provides both the annunciation and a switch contact to energize the
switching relay(s) required for the switching of the outputs. This Switch/Annunciator is available in
5 V, 14 V, or 28 V versions as shown below.

WPT/MSG Remote Annunciators
The KLN 90B contains two outputs: 1) Waypoint Alert (WPT) and 2) Message (MSG). Annuncia-
tion of these outputs is required for certification purposes. A remote annunciator unit is available
to annunciate these outputs and is offered in either 5 V, 14 V, or 28 V versions as shown below.
The original design of this unit contained the required (WPT) and (MSG) plus two additional fields
(-/-) as it was expected that additional annunciation would be required in the future. It has now
been determined, however, that additional annunciation will not be required. Therefore, a new design is being offered that contains only the (WPT) and (MSG) fields which allows improved readability. Both options are listed in the following.

1.8 RECOMMENDATIONS FOR IFR APPROVAL
1. Aircraft Logbook Entry
2. Aircraft Installation Requirements
The following interface functions were not required for a VFR KLN 90 but are required for
an IFR’d KLN 90B installation.
TSO’d Antenna
The antenna must be a TSO’d KA 91, P/N 071-01545-0200 or KA 92 P/N 071-01553-
0200. If the P/N of the KA 91 is not available, it may be identified by the serial number as
the TSO’d antennas have a five digit serial number. If the antenna is a non-TSO’d KA 91,
P/N 071-01545-0100, and the KLN 90B is a modified KLN 90, the antenna is eligible for
exchange as part of the upgrade program.
xNav Instrumentation
The navigation information (D-Bar, Nav Flag, and To-From) must be displayed on an
instrument in the pilot’s panel.
Electromechanical indicators are capable of displaying the variable scale factors of
enroute, terminal, and approach modes. If the NAV information is displayed on an EFIS
system, it must be capable of displaying variable D- Bar scaling required for GPS
approaches. This may require a modification to the EFIS system. (Refer to section 1.5
for a list of typical Nav indicators).
Rev 5, April/200310521I05.TDCPage 1-19
BENDIX/KINGKLN 90B
NOTE
The KPI 552/553/553A’s interfaced to the KNR 665
digital Gold Crown are not compatible with the KLN
90B.
xOBS Interface
For approach approval, the OBS resolver must be interfaced so that selected course
through the HSI/CDI indicator will be sent to the KLN 90B for D-Bar resolution. In mechanical indicators, it will be accomplished by switching the OBS resolver lines; and in
EFIS installations, it will be usually through the serial busses. Some EFIS applications
may require an adapter. (Refer to section 2.3.6.2.P for OBS resolver interface characteristics).
xSwitch/Annunciators:
NAV/GPS (Switch/Annunciator)
If the navigation information is displayed on a shared primary indicator a
switch/annunciator will be required to select and annunciate the source unless the
indicator is part of an EFIS system that provides that function.
WPT/MSG (Annunciator)
The required annunciators are "WPT" and "MSG" only. Even though the information is
available on the KLN 90B display, a remote annunciator is also required in the pilots
panel unless it is accomplished in an HSI/CDI or EFIS display.
GPS CRS, OBS/LEG (Switch/Annunciator)
The KLN 90B may operate in either of two modes, LEG or OBS. In LEG mode, the
flightplan legs will automatically sequence as determined by present position. In OBS
mode, the active waypoint and inbound or outbound course will be manually selected.
The Remote OBS/LEG Switch/Annunciator is recommended for non-precision
approaches to reduce pilot workload.
GPS APR, ARM/ACTV (Switch/Annunciator)
The KLN 90B requires a switch/annunciator for arming, disarming, or deactivating the
approach mode. It will provide remote annunciation of ARM and ACTV and provide a
momentary switch function to arm, disarm, or deactivate the Approach Mode and
change the D-Bar scale factors. (Refer to section 1.6.C for typical switch/annunciators).
xAltitude Source
An altitude source is required for IFR certification. The altitude may be derived from a
compatible encoding altimeter, some RS 232 air data systems, and most ARINC 429
air data systems. (Refer to figure 2-17 for typical altitude sources).
xIsolation Diodes
KLN 90’s below S/N 1542 did not have isolation diodes on the encoding altimeter in-
puts.
Page 1-2010521I05.TDCRev 5, April/2003
BENDIX/KINGKLN 90B
The KLN 90/90A’s upgraded to KLN 90B’s that are below S/N 1542 still will not have
isolation diodes and may need to have them added to the installation. If the KLN 90B
is without diode isolation and is paralleled with another unit such as a transponder, the
combination can cause a loading effect which may result in one or all of the units in
parallel being disabled. If the KLN 90B is connected to a dedicated encoding altimeter,
the diodes are not necessary.
3. Approved Airplane Flight Manual Supplement
A flight manual supplement will need to be prepared and approved. The supplement may
be prepared based on the sample, P/N 006-00835-0000. Refer to Appendix B for information on preparing a flight manual supplement and a copy of the STC approval.
4. Pilot’s Guide
The KLN 90B pilots’ guide must be placed in the aircraft in a location that is accessible to
the pilot. The pilot’s guide is P/N 006-08773-0000 and the abbreviated pilot’s guide is
P/N 006-08774-0000.
1.9 INSTRUCTIONS FOR CONTINUED AIR WORTHINESS
The instructions for continued air worthiness given in the TC or STC approvals for this product
supplements or supercedes the instructions for continued air worthiness in this manual.
Most Honeywell products are designed and manufactured to allow “on condition maintenance”. On condition maintenance is described as follows; There are no periodic service requirements necessary to maintain continued air worthiness. No maintenance is required until
the equipment does not properly perform the intended function. When service is required, a
complete performance test should be accomplished following any repair action. Consult the
appropriate Unit Maintenance/Overhaul Manual for complete performance test information.

SECTION II
INSTALLATION
2.1 GENERAL INFORMATION
This section contains general suggestions and information to consider before installation of the
KLN 90B GPS RNAV. Close adherence to these suggestions will assure optimum performance
from the equipment.
The conditions and tests required for TSO approval of this article are minimum performance standards. It is the responsibility of those desiring to install this article either on or within a specific type
or class of aircraft to determine that the aircraft installation conditions are within TSO standards.
The article may be installed only if further evaluation by the applicant documents an acceptable
installation and is approved by the Administrator.
2.2 UNPACKING AND INSPECTING EQUIPMENT
Exercise extreme care when unpacking the equipment. Make a visual inspection of the unit for
evidence of damage incurred during shipment. If a claim for damage is to be made, save the shipping container to substantiate the claim. The claim should be promptly filed with the transportation
company. It would be advisable to retain the container and packaging material after all equipment
has been removed in the event that equipment storage or reshipment should become necessary.
2.3 EQUIPMENT INSTALLATION
2.3.1 AVIONICS COOLING REQUIREMENTS FOR PANEL MOUNTED EQUIPMENT
The greatest single contributor to increased reliability of all modern day avionics is to limit the maximum operating temperature of the individual units whether panel mounted or remote mounted.
While modern day individual circuit designs consume much less electrical energy, watts per cubic
inch dissipated within the avionics unit remains much the same due to the high density packaging
techniques utilized. Consequently, the importance of providing cooling to the avionics stack is still
with us today.
While each individual unit may or may not require forced air cooling, the combined heat load of
several units operating in a typical avionics location will significantly degrade the reliability of the
avionics if provisions for cooling are not incorporated in the initial installation. Failure to provide
cooling to the equipment will lead to increased avionics maintenance costs and may also void the
Honeywell warranty.
In the case of the KLN 90B, installation of a KA 33, (P/N 071-4037-XX), or equivalent cooling system is required. Ram air cooling is not acceptable. For installation information on the KA 33 refer
to the KA 33 installation manual, P/N 006-01069-XXXX or Installation Bulletin 258.
2.3.2 KLN 90B MECHANICAL INSTALLATION
The KLN 90B installation will conform to standards designated by the customer, installing agency,
and existing conditions as to the unit location and type of installation. However, the following suggestions will assure a more satisfactory performance from the equipment.
A. Plan a location on the aircraft panel so that the KLN 90B is plainly visible to the
pilot and so that he has complete access to all front panel controls. Check to be
sure that there is adequate depth behind the panel for the mounting rack and all
the connectors and cabling. Be sure that the mounting location is not close to
heater vents or other sources of high heat.
B. Refer to figure 2-3 for the panel cutout dimensions. Mark and cut the panel open-
ing.

2.3.3 ANTENNA SELECTION
The KA 91 and KA 92 GPS active antennas, P/N 071-01545-0200 and 071-01553-0200 respectively, are the designated antennas for the KLN 90B.
2.3.4 ANTENNA INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS
The antenna should be mounted on top of the fuselage near the cockpit. Avoid mounting the antenna near any projections, the propeller, and the T-tail of the aircraft, where shadows could occur.
It is recommended that there be a separation of at least 3 ft. between the KLN 90B GPS antenna
and any VHF Comm antenna on the aircraft. Antenna baseplate must be level within 5° in both
axes when the aircraft is in level flight. If the antenna is tilted more than 5° or is mounted close to
other objects that shadow it, loss of some of the satellites will occur and system performance may
be degraded. Antenna cable and connector information, including vendor information, is listed below. Refer to figure 2-10 (TNC) and figure 2-11 (BMA) for cable/connector assembly instructions
for the 0 to 40 feet category using RG 400/U or RG 142B/U. Refer to figure 2-12 (for both TNC
and BMA) for the 0 to 80 feet and 0 to 100 feet categories.
NOTE
KA 91/92 nominal gain and noise figures are 26.5 dB
and 2.3 dB respectively. With 0.050 ice on radome,
gain will not decrease by more than 2.0 dB when
viewing a satellite from 30° above the horizon to ze-
nith, as compared to a no ice condition.

2.3.5.1 General
To maintain good performance from the antenna system, do not wax or paint the
antenna.
2.3.5.2 Installation Procedure
A. Using the correct template for the antenna chosen, mark the mounting holes on
the aircraft fuselage.
B. Drill and/or punch the required holes.
C. Use a piece of fine sandpaper or emery cloth to sand the area on the fuselage
skin on which the doubler plate for the antenna is to be mounted and on the air-
craft skin under where the antenna will be mounted.
D. Apply Alumiprep No. 33, P/N 016-01127-0000, to both the inside and outside
areas of the fuselage and to the back of the doubler plate. Follow the directions
on the container to cleanse the metal of any left over residue.
E. Apply Alodine, P/N 016-01128-0000, to both locations following the directions
on the container. This is used to ensure good bonding of the antenna and to pre-
vent oxidation.
F. Refer to figure 2-5 for the KA 91 installation drawing or figure 2-8 for the KA 92
installation drawing and mount the antenna as shown. First rivet the doubler
plate in place. It is imperative that the doubler plate make a good electrical bond
with the inside of the aircraft skin and that the antenna itself be well bonded to
the aircraft.
G. When installing the KLN 90B antenna do not exceed 25 inch/lbs of torque on
the antenna mounting screws.
H. Apply white RTV sealant around base of installed antenna. Fill mounting screw
holes with RTV sealant (P/N 016-01129-0000 or equivalent).
2.3.6 ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION
2.3.6.1 General Information
The KLN 90B will operate with an input voltage from 11 to 33 VDC, but the front
panel lighting circuit must be wired for either +14 VDC, +28 VDC, +5 VDC, or 5
VAC depending upon the version of unit installed. Refer to the KLN 90B interconnect diagram for wiring details.
A. The installing facility will supply and fabricate all external cables. The required
connectors are supplied as part of the installation kit.
B. The length and routing of the external cables must be carefully planned before
attempting the actual installation. Avoid sharp bends or locating the cable near
aircraft control cables.
C. The KLN 90B and associated wiring must be kept at least a minimum of 3 ft.
from high noise sources and not routed with cables from high power sources to
insure optimum performance from the system.
D. Do not route the antenna cable near any cable used for a transmitting antenna.
Prior to installing the KLN 90B itself, a point to point continuity check of the wir-
ing harness should be done to verify proper wiring. The aircraft power input to
the unit should be made to insure that power is applied to only the specified
power pin(s).

2.3.6.2 Functional Pinout Descriptions
This section gives a brief description of some of the inputs and outputs of the
KLN 90B. It is provided so the installer can determine what specific wiring
needs to be done to the aircraft in which the unit is to be installed. Unless otherwise specified, pins not used are to be left open.
A. Pin 1; GPS DISPLAYED
This pin is used as an input to tell the unit whether an external indicator is connected to the analog OBS resolver inputs, in which case it will be high. This pin
will be grounded if an indicator is not connected or coupled to the unit.
B. Pin 2; TAKE HOME
Pin 2, when grounded, places the KLN 90B in Take-Home mode which is used
for trip planning only. It performs as if it is receiving adequate GPS signals to
determine its position. It displays the latitude and longitude of its last known position or of whatever position it is initialized to on the Setup Page. Pin 2 should
always be left open in the aircraft installation.
C. Pin 3; SDI 1/2
Pin 3 sets the Long-range Navigation System as primary or secondary. If the pin
is open, the ARINC 429 setup is for primary. If the pin is grounded, the ARINC
429 setup is for secondary. This pin is read each time the KLN 90B is turned on.
This pin is used only for dual long range navigation installations when a
KLN 90B is interfaced, through ARINC 429, as system #2.
D. Pins 4 and 5; EFIS 429 Receiver Inputs
The KLN 90B receives information from the Electronic Flight Instrument System
(EFIS) or KA 90 display adapter in GAMA 429 format on this input bus. This bus
should be left open if no EFIS or adapter is connected to the KLN 90B. For specific label information refer to
Paragraph 1.3.1 in Section 1 of this manual.
E. Pins 6 and 7; Radar Graphics 429 Receiver Inputs
The KLN 90B receives information from the Radar Graphics unit in GAMA 429

O. Pins 23 and 24; GPS 429 Transmitter outputs
Pins 23 and 24 are the GPS ARINC 429 transmitter output port of the KLN 90B.
For specific label information transmitted on this bus refer to Paragraph 1.3.1 in
Section 1 of this manual.
P. OBS Resolver Interface
Pin 26; OBS Resolver Sine
Pin 31; OBS Resolver Out
Pin 37; OBS Resolver Cosine
This interface is compatible with indicators that are electrically zeroed (EZ) at
300 degrees and indicators that are omni-ranged zero at 300 degrees. This interface will operate properly with either "0.85 gain" resolvers or "0.41 gain" resolvers with no special programming requirements.
OBS Resolver Out is a 450 Hz output used to excite the resolver. The resolver
output voltage is then received by the OBS Resolver sine and cosine inputs.
Refer to section 2.4.1, KLN 90B OBS Resolver Calibration Procedure for 30 Hz
indicator calibration.
Q. Pin 27; A/C GROUND
Pin 27 is tied to aircraft ground. Wiring harness shields are not to be terminated
on this pin. Refer to figure 2-17.
R. Pins 28, 29, and 32; 28 V Light/Light Lo, 14 V/5 V Light, and Light Lo
Pins 28, 29, and 32 are the pins used for the panel lighting. Refer to the interconnect drawing for the correct method of connecting these pins and connecting
to the aircraft dimmer bus.
S. Pin 30; Approach Arm Select
Pin 30 is used as a mode programming pin on power-up and later as a select
input. If the installation is not certified for approach, the external switch/annunciator is not required. This function can be eliminated by connecting the APPROACH ARM SELECT, pin 30, to the APPROACH ARM ANNUNCIATOR, pin
17. On power- up, it will be monitored to determine whether external switches
are installed. If the installation is approved for approach and the external switch/
annunciator is installed, then a momentary ground on pin 30 will alternately arm
or disarm the approach mode.
T. Pin 33;LEG/OBS
Pin 33 is used as a mode programming pin on power-up and later as a select
input. If the installation does not require an external switch/annunciator to select
the OBS mode, then connect the LEG/OBS CONTROL, pin 33, to the + TO, pin
21. On power-up, it will be monitored to determine whether external switches are
installed. If the external switch/annunciator is not installed, the selection of OBS
and LEG will be performed by means of the left inner and outer knobs on the
MODE page. If the installation is approved for approach and the external switch/
annunciator is installed, then a ground on pin 33 will switch the unit between
LEG and OBS modes. The MODE page on the left inner and outer knob will be
disabled.

U. Pin 34; Data Loader Out
Pin 34 outputs Data Loader information in RS 232 format. It can be used to interface with a laptop IBM compatible PC to load the database.
V. Pin 35; Data Loader In
Pin 35 inputs Data Loader information in RS 232 format. It can be used to interface with a laptop IBM compatible PC to load the database.
W. Pin 36; RS 232 In
Pin 36 is the RS 232 input. If there is not an RS 232 input, i.e. a Fuel Management or Air Data sensor connected to the KLN 90B, Pin 36 (RS 232 In) should
be connected to Pin 13 (RS 232 Out) to eliminate unnecessary "NO RS-232 DATA" messages. For more information refer to KLN 90B Pilots Guide, P/N 00608773-0000. Pin 36 may be connected to pin 13 even though Pin 13 is also used
to drive another load. For specific label information, refer to Appendix A.
X. Pin 38; ALT ALERT
Pin 38 is the Altitude Alert input/output pin. Configuration is determined by a
sampling at powerup. If pin 38 is grounded, it is configured as an input. All pilot
selectable altitude alert functions of the KLN 90B will be disabled. This option
should be considered if another altitude preselector is already installed in the aircraft. If pin 38 is open or connected to drive an alerting device, it is configured
as an output. Altitude alert functions will be selectable through the KLN 90B front
panel controls.
Y. Pin 39; ALT ALERT AUDIO
Pin 39 is the Altitude Alert Audio output which is active whenever ALT ALERT is
active.
Z. Pin 40; A/C Power
Pin 40 is the DC aircraft power input. The KLN 90B will accept from 11 VDC to
33 VDC input power.
AA. Pins 41 thru 50; Gray Code Inputs
Pins 41 through 50 are gray code altitude inputs from an encoding altimeter. If
the KLN 90B is paralleled with another unit such as a transponder, it may be
necessary to install isolation
diodes between one or both units and the encoder.
KLN 90/90B with serial numbers 1542 and above have diodes already installed
internally. Units with serial numbers below 1542 will only need the diodes in the
aircraft harness if it is interfaced to an encoder and another unit.

2.4.1 KLN 90B RESOLVER CALIBRATION METHOD
The KLN 90B supports both 400 Hz and 30 Hz resolvers. However, to assure maximum
accuracy, the KLN 90B will need to be calibrated so that it will work with either type. The
following is a procedure for calibrating the resolver in the KLN 90B.
1. With the unit off, press and hold the left cursor button.
2. Turn the unit on, continuing to hold the left cursor button for at least 8 seconds.
3. Allow the unit to start up normally.
4. Make sure that the unit has an active waypoint and the aircraft is located where it can
acquire a valid satellite position.
5. Put the unit into the OBS mode by pressing the external switch (if installed) or by using
the MOD 2 page.
6. Turn to the STA 3 page using the left inner and outer knobs.
7. Make sure that the KLN 90B is the displayed NAV source on the desired indicator.
8. Using the course pointer (for HSIs) or the OBS knob (on CDIs), adjust the selected
course to 0°.
9. Note what the KLN 90B is using for the OBS angle (shown on the bottom line near the
center of the screen). If the OBS angle on the KLN 90B agrees with the selected course
on the external indicator, then no calibration is necessary.
10. If the two values do not agree, then the KLN 90B will need to be calibrated. This is done
by pressing the left cursor button and adjusting the value next to OBS CAL. A value of
100 is the default setting and represents no correction. It is possible to make adjustments
of up to ; 10°. An OBS CAL value of 0 represents -10° and an OBS CAL value of 200
represents a calibration of + 10°.
11. Once the KLN 90B agrees with the external indicator, then the calibration is complete.
Turn off the left cursor button.
12. Reset power to restore normal operation.
2.4.2 POST INSTALLATION CHECKOUT PROCEDURE
This procedure is divided into two major sections. The first section deals with "Stand Alone" in-
stallations 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 90B
are the cable from the GPS antenna, the aircraft power and ground leads, and the lighting bus
wires. Connect the unused ARINC 429 Airdata Receiver to the 429 Transmitter and connect the
unused RS 232 IN to the RS 232 OUT. All output data is read from the unit front panel display
and all input to the unit is via the front panel controls.
Rev 5, April/200310521I05.TDCPage 2-65
BENDIX/KINGKLN 90B
The second part of this procedure deals with an installation in which some or all of the electrical
signal I/O have been utilized. This second section is divided in such a way that each input or output
signal is treated separately, and hence only those subsections that apply to a given installation will
be conducted.
It is assumed that the operator’s manual for the various units connected to the KLN 90B (as well
as the manual for the KLN 90B itself), are available or that the installer is familiar with operating
the units.
2.4.3 INSTALLATION CHECK OUT
Before inserting the unit into the mounting rack, verify that at the rear connector of the mounting
rack, aircraft power is present on Pin 40, and that there is a ground on Pin 27. In installations using
28 V lighting, lighting bus voltage should be present between Pins 28 (Hi) and 32 (Lo). In Installations using 5 V or 14 V lighting, lighting bus voltage should be present between Pins 29 (Hi) and
28/32 (Lo), that is both Pins 28 and 32 must be low. Verify that there are no voltages or grounds
present on any other pins.
A. Verify that the blower is operating properly.
B. Making sure that the power On/Off switch, located on the front panel of the KLN 90B, is in
the "out" position (power off), plug the unit into the mounting rack and verify that the panel
lighting works properly.
C. Energize the unit by pushing in the power control switch.
D. Manipulate the controls as necessary to display Nav 2 Page on the right half of the screen
and Set 1 Page on the left half of the screen.
On the Set 1 Page, enter the present position for the installation location accurate to within
60 nautical miles.
Display the Set 2 Page. Verify that the date and time are correct to within 10 minutes and
update if necessary. If the date is off by a large amount and the date cannot be set back to
the correct year, make the receiver blind to the satellites by disconnecting the coax, setting
the date while on the bench with no antenna, covering the antenna with aluminum foil or pull
the aircraft in where the satellites are not available, such as in the hanger.
E. At this point the aircraft will have to be moved to a location known to have reasonable GPS
signal coverage. This implies an outside location away from tall structures that could mask
low elevation satellites.
F. Display the Status 1 Page. The State shown on the page should change to Acquire (ACQ)
and after a period of not more than 5 minutes, (typically two minutes depending on the sat-
ellite coverage), the unit should display Latitude and Longitude values on the Nav 2 Page
that are correct for the installation location. If the State shown is Search the Sky (STS), the
unit will take up to 15 minutes to calculate a position.
G. Display the Status 1 Page and verify that no asterisks appear next to any satellite with an
elevation greater than 25°. Select 121.15 MHz on COMM 1. Transmit on COMM 1 for a pe-
riod of 20 seconds and verify that no asterisks appear on the Status 1 Page for satellites
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’s on
board the aircraft.
If any of the above tests do not pass (any asterisks appear on satellites with greater than
25° during the above tests), it will be necessary to identify the source of the interference.
There are two common sources of interference:
Page 2-6610521I05.TDCRev 5, April/2003
BENDIX/KINGKLN 90B
1. 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 be well low enough
to 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.
NOTE
The conditions and tests performed on this article
are minimum performance standards. It is the re-
sponsibility of those desiring to install this article either on or within a specific type or class of aircraft to
determine that the aircraft installation conditions are
within these performance standards. The article may
be installed only if further evaluation by the applicant
documents an acceptable installation and is ap-
proved by the Administrator
2. The other possibility is re-radiation from an ELT. The radiated RF from the VHF COMM can
excite the output tank circuit of the ELT and cause it to oscillate and radiate RF 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.
2.4.4INTEGRATED INSTALLATION CHECK OUT
The following paragraphs define checkout procedures for all possible Input/Output signals that
can be connected to the KLN 90B. It should be clearly determined which of the signals are intended to be used in any given installation and then only the paragraphs pertaining to those
signals should be performed.
2.4.4.1All Installations
Perform all steps defined in Paragraph 2.4.3 and leave the system energized with a valid GPS
signal being received.
2.4.4.2EFIS or CDI/HSI Interface
Cycle the power on the KLN 90B which will cause the self test page to be displayed. Verify that
the CDI needle, after it has settled, is indicating half scale right deflection. Verify that the TO/
FROM flag is indicating FROM. Verify that the nav flag is pulled from view.
Verify the selected course from the EFIS or CDI/HSI is interfaced properly to the KLN 90B in
the OBS Mode. The OBS Mode can be selected by two methods:
1. In IFR Non-Precision Approach configurations, the OBS/LEG selection will usually be con-
trolled by means of a GPS CRS external switch/annunciator. Each press of the switch/ annunciator will cause the mode to change between OBS and LEG.
2. In VFR or IFR Enroute/Terminal configurations, the OBS/LEG selection will usually be con-
trolled through the front panel controls of the KLN 90B. Select the Mode Page 2 on the left.
If the OBS mode is not active, press the enter button.
Verify that the selected course value on the Mode Page 2 agrees with the value displayed
on the EFIS Course Pointer or the HSI Course Pointer, if it is a remotely driven type. Press
the left cursor button and modify the selected course value. Again, verify the course pointer
tracks the new value. Change the selected course value on the EFIS, HSI or CDI using the
Rev 5, April/200310521I05.TDCPage 2-67
BENDIX/KINGKLN 90B
OBS knob. Verify that the selected course value displayed on the Mode Page 2 tracks the
new value selected.
In the OBS mode with the GPS displayed on the CDI/HSI, the resolver is disconnected from
the NAV converter. Verify that the KNS 80 or 81 groundspeed is still functional and the Radial display for the KX 165 or KNS 81 is still functional. These units must have jumpers or
resistors across them when the resolver is removed.
In the OBS mode with the GPS not displayed on the CDI/HSI, the resolver is reconnected
to the NAV converter. Verify that change in the OBS resolver will not affect the selected
OBS on the KLN 90B.
2.4.4.3Radar Graphics Interface
Activate a flight plan. Verify that the flight plan can be observed on the Radar Graphics display.
Select a "Joystick" waypoint on the Radar Graphics Unit. Verify that the selected
waypoint appears on the SUP Page of the KLN 90B display.
2.4.4.4Air Data Interface
With altitude being supplied by a compatible Air Data Computer, verify that the proper altitude
is indicated on the ALT page (provided the proper baro setting has been entered and if the Air
Data Computer does not provide baro-corrected altitude).
2.4.4.5Gray Code Altitude Inputs
With gray code altitude being supplied by a compatible encoding altimeter, verify that the proper altitude is indicated on the ALT page (provided no other altitude sources are active and that
proper baro has been entered).
Verify that there is no interference between the KLN 90B, transponder, and any other loads on
the encoding altimeter output. Remove power from each of the loads on the encoder to verify
that the remaining equipment still performs properly. If interference exists, one or more of the
units are not diode isolated and isolation diodes will need to be added to the aircraft wiring.
2.4.4.6RMI Interface
Cycle power on the KLN 90B which will cause the self test page to be displayed. Verify that
the RMI indicates 130°.
2.4.4.7ELT Interface
The following test must be conducted within five minutes after the hour with ELT transmissions
limited to 3 (Three) sweeps. A sweep occurs each time there is a voice transmission. Verify
that the present position is displayed on the KLN 90B Nav Page 2. Activate the Comm Receiver and tune it to 121.5 MHz. Switch The ELT cockpit toggle switch to TEST. The ELT light
should flash and the "sweeping" sound of the ELT should be heard on the Comm Receiver.
Within 1 (one) minute, a voice transmission should be heard which contains the present position displayed on the KLN 90B Nav Page 2. Switch the toggle switch to AUTO and push the
reset button until it stops flashing.
2.4.4.8Moving Map Interface
If the KLN 90B is interfaced to a moving map display, verify operation by moving the aircraft
out to an open location to acquire a satellite position. Enter some active flightplan or waypoint
to develop a presentation on the map. Some moving maps require 30 kts of speed to display
as the sense track angle is used instead of the heading. Output track angles below
30 kts. are not output.
Page 2-6810521I05.TDCRev 5, April/2003
BENDIX/KINGKLN 90B
2.4.4.9External Annunciators
Recycle the power on the KLN 90B which will cause the Self Test Page to be displayed. Verify
that all external annunciators are energized. Cycle the KLN 90B display past all initialization
pages. Verify all external annunciators are extinguished. If the message light comes on, view
the Message Page to verify that there is a message. If any other annunciator remains lighted,
review the status of the KLN 90B to determine if the lighted annunciator is justified. OBS and
LEG annunciators are controlled directly by the annunciator switch contacts and are not driven
by the KLN 90B. Toggle the GPS CRS switch to verify that the annunciator switch matches
the KLN 90B mode.
NOTE
Annunciators should be checked one at a time in or-
der to verify that the correct one lights.
2.4.4.10Distance Indicator
Verify that during self test, the distance indicator displays 34.5 NM, 0 KTS, 0 MIN.
2.4.4.11Dataloader
The data base cartridge may be updated using a 3.5" disk and a laptop computer. The laptop
computer must be IBM compatible, have an open COM 1 or COM 2 serial port, and have a
3.5" high density diskette drive.
Connect an IBM compatible laptop via PC loader kit P/N 050-03213-0000 (ref. figure 2-18).
Set the KLN 90B to the Set 0 page. Put the #1 diskette into the PC. Cycle the power of the
PC and follow the menu driven instructions.
NOTE
The KLN 90B database may be updated using a PC
with the KLN 90B mounted in an aircraft, or via a
KCC 90 (ref. figure 2-18).
2.4.4.12 ALT ALERT
Upon approval of the self test page, five (5) beeps will be issued on the audio output and five
(5) sonalert bursts will be produced by the ALT ALERT
low.
2.4.4.13Heading Interface
Heading information may be interfaced to the KLN 90B by ARINC 429 or RS 232 to aid in the
calculation of wind vectors and for heading orientation of the NAV 5 or moving map, and
to enable the ARINC 429 roll steering output. ARINC 429 heading information is provided from
an EFIS 40/50 system or a KA 90 interface adapter through the EFIS 429 receiver. 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 5 page and select the HDG orientation to test the heading function. If a valid
heading source is available, HDG orientation will be selectable. If the heading is from an RS
232 source and the KLN 90B has not been upgraded to software 1102 or later, it will be necessary to have a valid GPS position before the heading input will be recognized. ARINC 429
heading information is recognized with or without a valid position and may be tested in the
hanger.

2.4.4.14Roll Steering Interface
Roll Steering is dependent on ground speed to calculate and cannot be displayed on the
ground in the Nav mode. However the KLN 90B will test the roll steering while on the system
test page and activate all the outputs. The Roll Steering will be valid and active until you approve the page. While on this page you can engage the flight director and observe the command bars change from 0 degrees to 5 degrees right and back to 0 degrees. This will validate
the drivers and wiring so you will feel confident.

1.1 HOOK-UP CONFIGURATIONS
The RS-232 input and output can be hooked up in different configurations.
For normal operations, the RS-232 input will be connected to a fuel sensor and/or air data. In
installations where the RS-232 input is not connected to a fuel sensor and air data, it will be looped
back to RS-232 output. However, in test mode, the RS-232 input and output can be connected to
a PC to read or write from or to a memory location or port.
The RS-232 output provides navigation and self-test data in normal and test modes. In test
mode, if a memory or port read or write request is received, the system will send the corresponding
response packet(s) and stops sending navigation and self-test data. The only way to resume navigation and self-test data output is by recycling the power.

Flight Plan Data
Item designator, sequence number, waypoint identifier, latitude/ longitude, and magnetic variation
of each waypoint defined in the active flight plan are transmitted with the following format: No information shall be transmitted for waypoints beyond a fence in a flight plan when the active waypoint is before the fence. Likewise, no information shall be transmitted for waypoints after the beginning of a DME arc that is part of a procedure if the active waypoint is before the last waypoint
on the arc. No information shall be transmitted for waypoints prior to the last waypoint on the DME
arc if the active waypoint is after the arc.
