This manual contains information relative to the physical, mechanical, and electrical
characteristics of the KNI 582 Radio Magnetic Indicator. General installation instructions
are also included.
1.2EQUIPMENT DESCRIPTION
The KNI 582 Radio Magnetic Indicator (PN 066-3060-00/01/02/03/04/10/11/12/13)
provides bearing information to either ADF or VOR stations by means of two pointers,
each of which is read against the compass card. The type of information displayed by
each needle (assuming applicable inputs are present) is determined by the corresponding
front panel switch.
A servo drive compass card with a fixed lubber line displays aircraft heading information.
A flag falls into view in the upper left corner of the display when the aircraft heading
information being displayed is invalid.

INSTALLATION for installation instructions.)
The instructions for continued airworthiness given in the TC or STC approvals for this
product supplements or supersedes the instructions for continued airworthiness 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 airworthiness. No maintenance is
required until the equipment does not properly perform its 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.
14 CFR Part 25.1529 Instructions for Continued Airworthiness is met per the following
instructions:
A.The removal of the equipment is on the condition of failure. There is no re-
quired maintenance.
1.7.2 Wires/Coax Cables
During on-condition or regularly scheduled maintenance, inspect wires and coax cables
following the guidelines listed in AC 43.13-1B Chapter 11, 12 as necessary.
This section contains the suggestions and information to consider before installation of the
KNI 582 Radio Magnetic Indicator into the aircraft. Close adherence to these suggestions
will assure optimum performance from the equipment.
2.2UNPACKING AND INSPECTING EQUIPMENT
Exercise extreme care when unpacking the equipment. Make a visual inspection of the
unit for evidence of damage 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 packing
material after all equipment has been removed, in the event that equipment storage or
reshipment should become necessary. The KNI 582 RMI installation will conform to
standards designated by the customer, installing agency and existing conditions as to unit
location and type of installation.
2.3KNI 582 RMI INSTALLATION
A. Plan a location on the aircraft panel that is clearly visible to the pilot with the least
practicable deviation from his normal position and from his line of vision when he
is looking forward along the flight path.
B. Make certain that clearance is available for the installation of the cables and
connectors, and also that normal vibration does not cause the unit to bump
against other equipment cases.
C. If an instrument hole that meets the installation requirements is not available, cut
a 3" ATI hole per Figure 2-1. Secure the unit with four 3/4" long 6-32 instrument
screws.
D. The KNI 582 RMI may be secured in place from front or behind the panel.
2.4POST INSTALLATION CHECK
These are tests designed to show that the KNI 582 RMI is functioning accurately under
broadly nominal conditions.
A. Compass Card Accuracy
1. With the aircraft on a known magnetic heading, this heading ±2° should be
under the lubber line of KNI 582 RMI.
2. The above step should be repeated for at least one additional heading 90°
from the first.
B. ADF Accuracy
1. Depending on the application, the KNI 582 RMI can be tested for either DC
SIN/COS ADF or X, Y, Z, ADF by tuning in a station on the appropriate ADF.
2. In the DC SIN/COS Mode the needles should position the direction of the
station +5°. Repeat for at least one more station.
3. Repeat Step 2 for X, Y, Z, ADF +5°.
C. VOR Accuracy
1. Depending on the application, the KNI 582 RMI can be tested for either OBI
DIGITAL VOR, COMPOSITE VOR, or OBI SIN/COS VOR by tuning in a
station on the appropriate VOR.
2. In the OBI DIGITAL VOR Mode, the single needle should point to the station
+5°. Repeat for at least one more station.
3. Repeat Step 2 for COMPOSITE VOR +5°.
4. Repeat Step 2 for OBI SIN/COS VOR +5°.
D. VOR/LOC Composite Correction Adjustment
If it is necessary to make a VOR/LOC composite needle centering adjustment
due to NAV receiver composite error, the KNI 582 RMI pointer can be adjusted
externally using the following steps:
1. With a ramp-test NAV generator, generate an output so the NAV receiver can
be tuned into a given bearing.
2. With the NAV receiver tuned to the generator frequency, insert a tuning tool
into VOR/LOC composite adjustment hole (refer to Figure 2-1) and adjust
R232 until the selected needle reads the same bearing the ramp generator.
3. Repeat Step 2 for verification of the adjustment for another bearing on the
ramp with generator.
A. Compass Card/Lubber Line:This rotating card repeats gyro stabilized
magnetic compass information. Aircraft
heading is read from the compass card
under the orange lubber line.
B. Compass Flag:This flag comes into view whenever the
compass system determines that the
heading is invalid or the indicated heading
has an error of 5° or more.
C. Pointers:The arrow of either pointer indicates the
magnetic heading to a VOR station/area
navigation waypoint of an ADF station
depending on the position of the front panel
switches associated with the pointer.
KNI 582
3.2NORMAL OPERATION
The KNI 582 RMI repeats magnetic heading information from a directional gyro system.
Aircraft heading is read under the lubber line of the KNI 582 RMI.
When an ADF receiver is tuned to a station and the appropriate pointer placed in the ADF
mode, the arrow of the pointer indicates the magnetic heading to the ADF station. Thus,
if the pilot desires to fly toward the station, he merely turns his aircraft to the magnetic
heading indicated by the pointer.
When a VOR receiver is tuned to a VOR station and the appropriate pointer placed in the
VOR mode, the arrow of the pointer indicates the magnetic heading to the VOR station. If
the KNI 582 RMI is used in an area navigation system, the VOR pointer indicates
magnetic heading to the waypoint. Should a localizer frequency be selected or the VOR
receiver indicates a flagged condition, the VOR pointer is parked 90° to the right of the
lubber line.
