SECTION I
GENERAL INFORMATION
1.1 INTRODUCTION
This manual contains information relative to the physical, mechanical, and electrical
characteristics of the BENDIX/KING KLN 94 Global Positioning System (GPS) Receiver. General
installation procedures are also included.
1.2 EQUIPMENT DESCRIPTION
The KLN 94 is a panel mounted, long range, GPS based airborne navigation system with a
database. The KLN 94 also provides VFR, IFR enroute, and IFR non-precision approach
functions. 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 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 database of the KLN 94 contains information concerning airports, VORs, NDBs,
intersections, DP/STARs, outer markers, roads, rivers, railroads, lakes, etc., throughout the
database’s coverage area. Waypoints are stored in the database by their ICAO identifiers. The
ICAO identifiers are in most cases taken directly from Jeppesen Sanderson or government
aeronautical charts. The KLN 94 has instrument approach capabilities.
The information stored in the database eventually becomes out of date; therefore, to provide a
means of updating the information, the database is housed in a data card which plugs into the
front of the KLN 94. It is designed so that the user may easily remove the old database and install
a current database. 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 94, refer to the KLN 94 Pilot’s Guide P/N 006-18207-0000.

Some stand alone CDI indicators are available with WPT/MSG annunciators built in. One
commonly used is the Model MD40-39, manufactured by Midcontinent Instrument, telephone
(316) 683-5619. These devices have no resolver interface. The use of an OBS resolver will
reduce pilot workload.
1.6 OPTIONAL ACCESSORIES
1.6.1 PC Interface Kit
The navigation database may be loaded directly from the PC to the KLN 94 installed in an aircraft
by means of the bezel jack (refer to Section 2.4.4.8 for details). To utilize the bezel jack for loading
of the database, order kit part number 050-03612-0000.
If the installation was previously a KLN 89B installation and utilized an external jack, order
interface kit P/N 050-03213-0000 in order to load the navigation database from a personal
computer. The kit contains a ready to use cable which connects between the aircraft connector
and the computer’s 9 pin or 25 pin serial connector. The kit is necessary whether the user is
loading from a Honeywell diskette or a database obtained via the Internet.
The cartography database is contained in the Sandisk cartridge. The cartography data is not
updated as frequently as the navigation data.
Rev. 4, Jan/2003 10599I04.CDLPage 1-9
Page 20
BKLN 94
It is necessary to swap cards to update the cartography data. Updating the navigation database
will not compromise the cartography database.
Laptop computers used to load the database require the following:
1. IBM compatibility
2. An available Com 1,2,3, or Com 4 serial port
NOTE
The PC must be fully IBM compatible and must have a 3.5" high
density diskette drive, If the database is loaded from a diskette sent
from Honeywell. For more information, contact Honeywell Product
Services by telephoning (913) 712-0600.
1.6.2 Annunciators and Switch/Annunciators
(Refer to I.B. 363 for additional information pertaining to switch/annunciators for GPS systems)
The devices shown below are Eaton 582/584 series switch/annunciators and are representative
of those used in our original certification. They were chosen because of their excellent sunlight
readable characteristics and meet or exceed the requirements of Advisory Circular 20-138.
These are high quality devices and we encourage their use. However, there are other
comparable devices on the market that may be substituted at the installer’s/customer’s choice.
These switch/annunciators are available through Honeywell Service Stock or direct from our
supplier, LCOMP Inc. It is advantageous to order direct from LCOMP, if possible, in order to avoid
additional price mark-ups. On international orders, it may be necessary to order through
Honeywell as LCOMP, at the time of this publication, is not prepared to handle international
orders. The address and telephone numbers for LCOMP are listed as follows:

1.8 RECOMMENDATIONS FOR IFR APPROVAL
1.8.1 Aircraft Logbook Entry
1.8.2 Aircraft Installation Requirements
NOTE
For the following subsections, refer to Section 1.5 and Section 1.6
for allowable configurations where applicable. Refer to Section II for
illustrations.
1.8.2.1 TSO/JTSO’d Antenna
The antenna must be a TSO/JTSO’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/JTSO’d antennas have a five digit serial number.
1.8.2.2 Nav 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.
1.8.2.3 OBS Interface
The use of an OBS resolver will reduce pilot workload during an instrument approach. It allows
the OBS setting to be changed on the navigation indicator when the KLN 94 is operating in the
OBS mode. Without the OBS resolver connection, the OBS may be changed from the KLN 94
controls. OBS mode is commonly used during procedure turns and holding patterns.
Some certification agencies may require the use of the OBS resolver for approach certification.

SECTION II
INSTALLATION
2.1 GENERAL INFORMATION
This section contains general suggestions and information to consider before installation of the
KLN 94 GPS RNAV. Close adherence to these suggestions will assure optimum performance
from the equipment.
NOTE
For aircraft equipped with a KLN 89B that is being replaced by a
KLN 94 refer to Appendix D, Direct Replacement of a KLN 89B with
a KLN 94, at the end of this manual.
NOTE
The conditions and tests required for TSO/JTSO 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/JTSO 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.
Rev. 4, Jan/2003 10599I04.CDLPage 2-1
Page 26
BKLN 94
In the case of the KLN 94, 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 94 MECHANICAL INSTALLATION
The KLN 94 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 94 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 opening.
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 94.
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 94 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 zenith, as compared to a no ice condition.

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 aircraft 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 prevent 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 94 antenna (KA 91/KA 92) do not exceed 50 inch/lbs of torque on
the antenna mounting screws.
H. Apply a bead of sealant around the base of the antenna and seal the antenna mounting
screw holes to prevent water damage.
2.3.6 ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION
2.3.6.1 General Information

2.4 POST INSTALLATION CHECK OUT INFORMATION
2.4.1 Maintenance Pages
As part of every KLN 94 installation it is necessary to enter the Maintenance (MNT) pages in
order to configure the unit properly for the specific installation. Electronically configuring the units
replaces the need of installing strapping or configuration wires in the harness. This makes it
easier to configure the unit at the time of initial installation and also later on if changes are made
to the aircraft such as the later addition of a fuel management system, air data system, or
reconfigure from VFR to IFR.
This configuration data is stored both in the external configuration module (mounted in the back
plate of the mounting tray) and in memory internal to the KLN 94. When the KLN 94 is initially
shipped from the factory, the configuration data is set to the same default values/status in both
the external configuration module and the units internal memory. The initial defaults are specified
below. When the Maintenance pages are entered and changes made to the configuration data,
the changes are stored both in the external configuration module and the internal memory. If the
configuration data differs in the external configuration module from the units internal memory, the
external configuration module data is automatically used. Differences could occur if after
configuring the KLN 94 the initial unit was removed and a second unit inserted into the rack. For
example, if the KLN 94 is initially configured correctly and a loaner unit is later installed in the
aircraft, the external configuration module would ensure that the proper configuration data was
used. The external configuration module is part of the installation kit and should be utilized in
every installation to make sure that proper operation occurs regardless of the unit that may later
be inserted into the mounting tray.
To enter the Maintenance pages, the MSG button must be depressed before the unit is turned
and held. Hold the MSG button down and watch for a flash in the "Earth with Satellites" picture.
Continue to depress the MSG button for 10 seconds (+- 2 seconds) after the flash of the "Earth
with Satellites". During that 10 seconds, you will see the picture change from monochrome to
color. At the end of the 10 second period, release the MSG button for 1 second and momentarily
press the MSG button again. After about a 15 second period the "Earth with Satellites" picture
will change to a MNT Page. After entering the Maintenance pages if the configuration data is
different between the external module and the units internal memory, the following page is
displayed (this page will not be displayed if they are the same):
CONFIGURATION
1. Copy Module to Unit?
2. Copy Unit to Module?
Select: 1
If you wish to copy the configuration data from the external configuration module to the unit’s
internal memory or if you plan to manually change the configuration data, simply press the ENT
button.
If you wish to copy the configuration data from the unit’s internal memory to the external module,
turn the large outer knob counterclockwise to position the flashing cursor over the 1. Turn the
small inner knob to select a 2. Turn the large outer knob one step clockwise to position the cursor
back over the OK? and then press the ENT button.

2.4.1.2 Maintenance 2 (MNT 2) Page
The MNT 2 page displays total hours of operation and number of power cycles on the KLN 94
and is not configurable.
2.4.1.3 Maintenance 3 (MNT 3) Page
The MNT 3 page is used to calibrate the OBS setting of the aircraft’s HSI or CDI to the KLN 94 so
that the KLN 94 reads the value the pilot selects on the HSI or CDI. It is necessary to configure
this page only if the KLN 94 is interfaced to an HSI or CDI resolver such that the KLN 94 is able
to read the course selected on the HSI or CDI. To calibrate the OBS:
1.Select a course using the course select/OBS knob on the HSI or OBS that is interfaced with the
KLN 94. It is suggested that a course increment of 10 degrees (example 10,150, 270, etc.) be
used so that the course can be selected as precisely as possible.

2.Press the CRSR button to turn on the cursor.
3.Use the small inner knob to select the exact course that is selected on the HSI or CDI in step 1
above.
4.Adjust the HSI or CDI to another course which is not 180× away from the original course, and
verify the correct course is displayed within 2×. If not, the OBS resolver interface may be
miswired.
5.Press the CRSR button to turn off the cursor. The calibration is now complete.
2.4.1.4 Maintenance 4 (MNT 4) Page
The MNT 4 page is used to set the bus monitor voltage and alert delay so that if the aircraft’s
charging system were to fail (i.e. generator/alternator failure) the pilot would be given timely
notification of the failure. The alert delay is selected so that momentary voltage drops which
could be caused by such things as cycling the aircraft’s gear or flaps do not cause nuisance
notifications to the pilot. When the bus voltage falls below the selected alert voltage for the
selected alert delay time the unit notifies the pilot with the following message that is displayed on
the message page:
Low Bus Voltage
Check Charging System
This Power Monitor feature can be turned on and off by the pilot on the SET 9 page but actual
configuration can only be done from the MNT 4 page. The SET 9 page displays to the pilot the
actual bus voltage to the KLN 94 as well as the alert voltage and alert delay that have been
configured on the MNT 4 page. Changes are made to the MNT 4 page using the CRSR button
and the concentric knobs as described in Section 2.4.1.1.
The MNT 4 page has the following format and choices:
MNT 4 Page FormatSelection ChoicesDefault
Bus Monitor
Alert Volt 12.8 V0.0 - 33.0 V10.0 V
Alert Delay 15 S0 - 99 seconds15 S
The following procedure is suggested as a means of determining what voltage to use for the alert
voltage. Cycle power to the KLN 94 to exit the Maintenance pages. View the SET 9 page to
determine the actual voltage being supplied to the KLN 94 while the engine is running
(alternator/generator supplying the bus voltage). You may want to do this with the engine at idle
so that you see the lowest possible voltage supplied by the alternator/ generator. Next, determine
the actual voltage being supplied to the KLN 94 when only the battery is supplying the voltage
(alternator/generator turned off or engine not running).
Rev. 4, Jan/2003 10599I04.CDLPage 2-70
Page 75
BKLN 94
The alert voltage should be chosen to be about half way between these two voltages. For
example, in a 14 volt aircraft say the alternator supplied voltage is 13.8 volts as displayed on the
SET 9 page with the engine running. The battery supplied voltage with the engine not running is
12.0 volts. An appropriate alert voltage in this case would be 12.9 volts. If an alternator were to
fail in flight and the voltage drop to 12.0 volts for at least 15 seconds (or whatever alert delay time
was selected), the pilot would be notified of the problem.
NOTE
In order to prevent nuisance messages, this feature should be disabled (Alert
Volt OFF) on the SET 9 page on aircraft where the alternator/generator output
drops down to a voltage close to the battery voltage during engine idle.
When the maintenance pages are configured as desired, it is necessary to cycle power to the
unit in order to leave the maintenance pages and allow normal operation.
2.4.1.5 Maintenance 5 (MNT 5) Page
The MNT 5 page is used to configure the Quicktune outputs of the KLN 94. The COMM
frequencies stored in the KLN 94 may be sent to up to 4 COMMs that recognize the Quicktune
labels transmitted over the RS232 bus. The Bendix/King KX155A and KX165A are examples of
such a radio.
Similarly, the NAV frequencies stored in the KLN 94 may be sent to up to 4 NAV radios. If a
Quicktune compatible COMM or NAV is assigned in the KLN94 MNT 5 page (i.e. COMM-2, and
NAV-1), then the specific COMMs and NAVs must be configured themselves with the same
identifier. For the specific procedure on how to assign an identifier to a KX155A, refer to section
3.1.4.3 of the KX155A Installation Manual.
If a radio number is assigned in the KLN94, a similar operation must be performed in the radio. In
other words, if COMM-2 is assigned in the KLN94 as being a valid output, the KX155A (or other
Quicktune-valid receiver) must be configured to accept Quicktune frequencies and identified
as “COMM2”.
If an installation allows more than one Quicktune radio (i.e. two or more KX155A), it is not
necessarily recommended that both radios should be configured for Quicktune operation, but
rather consult with the owner and ask for the owner’s recommendation. If only one valid
Quicktune COMM radio is chosen in the MNT 5 page, when the user sets the CRSR over a
COMM frequency and presses ENT, the frequency will automatically be placed in the STANDBY
slot of the radio. On the other hand, if two or more valid Quicktune COMMs are chosen in the
MNT 5 page, after pressing ENT on a COMM frequency, the user will be asked to which radio
that frequency should be sent. While it increases flexibility, this could be considered a nuisance.
When the installation is complete, the user will be able to choose the default Quicktune radios
for both COMM and NAV on the SET 14 page. Consult the KLN94 Pilot’s Guide for additional
information.
2.4.1.6 Maintenance 6 (MNT 6) Page
The MNT 6 page allows the installer to change the nomenclature of the internal annunciators of
the KLN94, shown on the right hand side of the KLN94 display.
Rev. 4, Jan/2003 10599I04.CDLPage 2-71

BKLN 94
There are only two combinations allowed. The choices are shown below.
MNT 5 Page FormatChoice 1Choice 2Default Settings
Annun:APR ARMTERMAPR ARM
APR ACTVAPRAPR ACTV
If the KLN94 is meant to replace an existing KLN89B and there is already an installation with
external annunciators that display “APR ARM” and “APR ACTV”, then the same combination
must be chosen in the MNT 6 page in order to have conformity throughout the aircraft. This will
also allow the installer to keep the existing external annunciators and switches in place.
In a new KLN 94 installation, the external annunciators may not be required. In this case, the user
may prefer “choice 2” since it is shorter and more descriptive.
2.4.1.7 Maintenance 7 (MNT 7) Page
The MNT 7 page allows the installer to select between the Standard RS232 Serial Output and
the Enhanced RS232 Serial Output. The Enhanced RS232 bus will only work with the
Bendix/King Skyforce KMD550 Multifunctional Display, at the time of publication of this manual.
In an installation of the KLN94 with a KMD550 also has additional moving map equipment, the
standard RS232 should be chosen, as it will be able to drive a minimal subset of labels in the
KMD550 as well as additional equipment.
If you see no published interconnect for your MFD or Moving Map Display, consult the
manufacturer for installation information.

2.4.2 POST INSTALLATION CHECKOUT PROCEDURE
This procedure is divided into two major sections. The first section deals 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.
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.
Rev. 4, Jan/2003 10599I04.CDLPage 2-73
Page 78
BKLN 94
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.
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 P942 pin 19, and that there is a ground on P941 pin 14 and
P942 pin 20. In installations using 28 V lighting, lighting bus voltage should be present between
P941 pins 24 and 14. In installations using 14 V lighting, lighting bus voltage should be present
between P941 pins 25 and 14. Verify that there are no voltages or grounds present on any other
pins of P941 and P942.
A.Verify that aircraft power is OFF or the unit circuit breaker is pulled. Making sure that the power
On/Off switch, located on the front panel of the KLN 94 is rotated the “off” position (power off),
plug the unit into the mounting rack and verify that the panel lighting works properly.
B.Energize the unit by rotating the power control switch to the “on” position.
C.Manipulate the controls as necessary to display the Set 1 Page on the right half of the screen.
On the Set 1 Page, enter the airport name or the present position (latitude and longitude) 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.
D.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. (To speed up the next test it is helpful to turn unit power off then on again
once the system is away from structures).
E.Proceed to the AUX 1 page. The State shown on the display should change to Acquire (ACQ)
from INIT and after 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 installation location. If the unit has not been turned on for 6 months, the
unit will take up to 20 minutes to calculate a position.
F.Select the AUX 2 page, 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 period of 20
seconds and verify that no asterisks appear indicating satellites with an elevation of greater than
25°. Repeat for the following frequencies: 118.000, 120.925, 121.175, 121.200, 123.825,
127.100, 130.625, 131.250, 131.275 131.300 and 134.150 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:
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/JTSO requirements for the VHF COMM.
Rev. 4, Jan/2003 10599I04.CDLPage 2-74
Page 79
BKLN 94
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 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 these performance standards. The article
may be installed only if further evaluation by the applicant documents an
acceptable installation and is approved 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.
G.Select the AUX 14 page and verify that the first line of that page on the unit display screen
reads as follows:
SW REVISION 0X0X
(where 0X0X is the last four digits of the KLN 94 Application Software 206- number)
An entry must be made in the aircraft log book upon installation of the KLN 94, indicating the
applicable software revision level. The recommended log book wording is as follows:
KLN 94 Application Software is at SW REVISION 0X0X on DD MMM YYYY.
(where 0X0X represents the last four digits of the KLN 94 Application Software 206- number
and DD MMM YYY represents the Day, Month and Year of the installation)
2.4.4 INTEGRATED INSTALLATION CHECK OUT
The following paragraphs define checkout procedures for all possible Input/Output signals that
can be connected to the KLN94. 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.
2.4.4.1 All Installations
Perform all steps defined in Paragraph 2.4.3 and leave the system energized with a valid GPS
signal being received.
2.4.4.2 CDI/HSI Interface
Cycle the power on the KLN94, 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.
Rev. 4, Jan/2003 10599I04.CDLPage 2-75
Page 80
BKLN 94
Verify that the TO/FROM flag is indicating FROM. Verify that the nav flag is pulled from view.
Verify that the selected course from the CDI/HSI is interfaced properly to the KLN 94 in the OBS
Mode. The OBS value on the third line of the self-test page should match the selected course on
the CDS/HSI and be with satellite coverage or in take-home mode.
You must create an active waypoint on the Flightplan 0 page to check the following function. The
OBS/LEG selection is controlled through the OBS button located on the front panel of the KLN
94. Pressing this button toggles between DTK and OBS with the normal position being DTK.
During OBS mode, the DTK indication (located left of the vertical page divider) will change to a
three digit course value.
Verify that the selected course value agrees with the value displayed on the HSI Course Pointer.
Change the selected course value on the HSI or CDI using the OBS knob. Verify that the selected
course value displayed on the KLN94 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 94.
2.4.4.3 Gray 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 setting has been entered).
Verify that there is no interference between the KLN 94, 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.
2.4.4.4 RMI Interface
Cycle power on the KLN 94 which will cause the self test page to be displayed. Verify that the
RMI indicates 130°.
2.4.4.5 ELT 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 94 Nav 2 page. 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 KLN94 Nav 2 page. Switch the toggle switch to AUTO and push the reset button
until it stops flashing.

BKLN 94
2.4.4.6 Moving Map Interface
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. Enter an active flightplan or active waypoint to
develop a presentation on the map.
Some moving maps require 2 kts of ground speed to display, as the sense track angle is used
instead of the heading. The KLN 94 does not output track angles when the groundspeed is below
2 kts.
2.4.4.7 External Annunciators
Recycle the power on the KLN 94 which will cause the Self Test Page to be displayed. Verify that
all external annunciators are energized. Cycle the KLN 94 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 KLN94 to determine if the lighted annunciator is justified.
NOTE
Annunciators should be checked one at a time in order to verify that the correct
one lights.
2.4.4.8 Quicktune Interface
If the KLN 94 is interfaced to a KX 155A / KX 165A for Quicktune operation, the following test
must be performed to verify the installation. Turn on the KLN 94 and display the APT5 page,
where airport frequencies are displayed. choose any airport with at least one frequency. Press
the CRSR button, move the cursor on any frequency and press the ENT button. Verify that the
selected frequency now appears in the COMM Standby Frequency of the KX155A / KX165A. To
verify the NAV part of the operation, display the VOR1 page. Press the CRSR button, move the
cursor on the VOR frequency and press the ENT button. Verify that the selected frequency now
appears in the NAV Standby Frequency of the KX 155A / KX 165A.
2.4.4.9 Dataloader
The database cartridge may be updated with a new navigation database using a laptop
computer. The laptop computer must be IBM compatible and have an available COM port (1, 2, 3,
or 4).
Internet Update
A new navigation database can be obtained via the Internet at the following address:
http://www.gpsdatabase.com
Store the new database on the hard drive of the PC. Then connect the laptop via the PC loader
kit PN 050-03612-0000 (refer to Figure 2-26). Turn on the KLN 94 to the SET 3 page. Then run
the program NETLOAD.EXE and follow the appropriate instructions.

The KLN 94 database may be updated using a PC with the KLN 94 mounted
in an aircraft (refer to Figure 2-18).
Cartography databases are only updateable via card exchange. Update frequency has not yet
been established but will most likely be annually.
2.4.4.10 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
“Enable”.
2.4.4.11 Heading Interface
Heading information may be interfaced to the KLN 94 by RS 232 to aid in the calculation of wind
vectors and for heading orientation of the NAV 4 or moving map. 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, HDG orientation will be selectable. Turn the cursor on the Nav 4

The GPS is the selected sensor on the primary NAV indicator. The primary NAV indicator shows
the signals that the autopilot uses.
Turn the KLN 94 on to initiate its self-test sequence. While the KLN 94 performs its display test,
be ready to engage NAV mode on the autopilot, but do not engage the NAV mode yet.
When the NAV flag on the CDI/HSI moves out of view, immediately press the NAV button on the
KFC 225 computer to engage NAV coupled mode. If unsuccessful, the autopilot will only NAV
ARM and not show NAV coupled. If this happens, the KLN 94 must be turned OFF, then turned
ON again before the next attempt is made to engage the NAV coupled mode.
When the autopilot is in NAV coupled mode, then:
Turn OFF the KLN 94 cursor by pushing the CRSR button.
Push the KLN 94 PROC button.
Push the KLN 94 OBS button.

BBP Timeout: The 1 mS baseband
processing timer has failed
self-test.
RS 232 Receiver Failure: The GPS
Receiver did not receive any
initialization data from the host
computer on the RS 232 port.
EEPROM Failure: The EEPROM
memory has failed its checksum.
It could be one of the following, in the order of
probability:
1. The 5 volt supply to the antenna could be
shorted out in the coax. This disables the oscillator
in the GPS.
2. The flex cable between the Receiver and Main
Board may have come out of the socket in the GPS.
3. Bad TCXO or ASIC on receiver module in GPS.
Substitute the GPS unit.
It could be one of the following, in the order of
probability:
1. The flex cable between the Receiver and Main
Board may have come out of the socket in the GPS.
2. Bad 32KHz crystal, UART, or processor on
Receiver Module in GPS. Substitute the GPS unit.

Messages
Altitude FailIndicates a missing or erroneous
altitude.
The altitude input on the gray code
input from the encoder is wrong.
The GPS is configured for IFR and
there is no altitude source
available.
NAV Superflag FailureIndicates an internal test of the
NAV Superflag output has failed.
RAIM position error
Cross check position
RAIM is a method of calculating
integrity of the GPS position. It
calculates the position multiple
times using different sets of
satellites and compares the
answers. If they have excessive
differences, the message appears.
DefinitionSuggested Action
The altitude from the encoder may be in error due
to a miswire, or the absence of isolation diodes
between the encoder and the transponder.
If the GPS is configured for IFR, it must have a valid
altitude. Verify the presence of altitude on the
Self-Test or Altitude Pages (press the ALT button).
When the flag is supposed to be valid, it should
reach a minimum voltage. Usually a failure is due to
overloading of the output. The output can be tested
when the Self-Test Page is displayed.
It could be one of the following, in the order of
probability:
1. This probably is a GPS failure. Cross check your
position by other means of navigation. Return for
service.
2. The GPS has detected a problem with one of the
satellites and cannot be assured to be within IFR
limits.
No RS 232 DataThere is no RS 232 data at the RS
232 input port.
RAIM not available
Cross check position
This means there are not enough
satellites available to compute
integrity (RAIM).
1. The satellites are blocked from
view by obstructions.
2. The satellites are too low on the
horizon for use or too high for
adequate geometry.
3. There is a loss of sensitivity in
the antenna, the coax or receiver
module.
The Air Data/Fuel Flow source is not outputting RS
232 data to the GPS. If no source of RS 232 is
interfaced, the receiver input must be jumpered
back to the RS 232 output.
The aircraft should be in an open area with good
visibility and the SNR (Signal to Noise Ratio) on the
AUX 2 page should be:
A KLN 94 will usually have 6-8 satellites shown and
the majority of their SNR values will be 7 to 9. SNR
values of 3 and below are unusable, 4 is marginal
and 5-9 are considered good. If the SNR values are
low, it could be one of the following, in order of
probability:
1. Check the antenna coax and connection for
problems.
2. Verify that 5 volts is present at the antenna end
of the coax.
3. Substitute the receiver to check for sensitivity.
4. Substitute the antenna to check for sensitivity.

appears when integrity monitoring
(RAIM) is predicted to not be
available at either the FAF or MAP.
The GPS will not allow the unit to
go into APR ACTV mode until
conditions improve.

This is a feature, not a system failure.
Turn to the AUX 3 page to perform a RAIM
prediction. It will give you an indication of how long
it will be until RAIM is available.
This prediction can also be performed prior to
departure to insure RAIM at your arrival.
