SECTION 1 1.4.1 Explanation The NAV122D and NAV122D/GPS are designed to be instrument panel mounted within the cabin environment of fixed and rotary wing aircraft using piston or turbine engines, in single and multiengine configurations. It is designed for non-pressurized aircraft operating up to 35,000 feet as well as for pressurized aircraft.
INTRODUCTION SECTION 1 1.8 OPERATION Rotating the Volume Control/Ident clockwise, past the “click”, applies power to the NAV circuits; continued clockwise rotation increases audio volume. Pulling this knob allows the 1020Hz Ident code to be heard. Receive Frequency Channeling Receive frequency is selected by the concentric knobs at the Units lower right corner. Whole megahertz frequencies are selected by the large knob while fractional megahertz frequencies are selected by the small knob.

GS Flag - Red GS Flag alerts the pilot to either loss of signal or inadequate signal level. NAV122D/GPS ADDITIONAL FUNCTIONS When the NAV122D/GPS is being used as the CDI for an IFR certified GPS and the appropriate GPS mode pin on P811 is active (frequency display now showing ‘GPS’), the following operations apply: Frequency Recall Pressing on the OBS knob will momentarily display the current NAV frequency.
INSTALLATION SECTION 2 2.1 INTRODUCTION This section provides all the electrical and mechanical installation information. Electrical Installation and Mechanical Installation Sections are independent and self-supporting. This permits their removal from the manual allowing the electrical and mechanical installation efforts to proceed in parallel. Interconnect cables are to be constructed by the installing agency.
NARCO AVIONICS NAV122D, NAV122D/GPS 2.2.2.2 Bench Test Wiring Harness The harness shown in Figure 2-1 will permit bench testing of a NAV122D. Alternatively, the cable to be installed in the aircraft may be used, providing in addition, a checkout of avionics and cabling.

NARCO AVIONICS NAV 122D 2.3 MECHANICAL INSTALLATION The NAV122D is intended to be instrument panel mounted. When mounted from behind the panel, two screws (6-32x 7/16) and the NAV’s VOL-IDENT bushing secure the Unit (see Figure 2-3). Mounting through the front panel requires the use of a Marman Clamp (see Figure 2-5). In either case, rear support should be supplied using the stud extending from the rear of the Unit.
NAV 122D unit described in this manual. Before building the cable, peruse section 2.4 Determine required cable length, and note wire gauge. Tables 2.3 and 2.3A show the connections for P811. P811 is used only on the NAV122D/GPS TABLE 2.2 NAV122D REAR PANEL CONNECTIONS...

NARCO AVIONICS NAV122D, NAV122D/GPS 2.4.2 Continued P810 is assembled as shown in Figure 2-7. While constructing the cable, be sure to pass wires through the hood before inserting pins into the connector. FIGURE 2-7. P810 ASSEMBLY Connector Assembly Procedure (Solder) Note: Crimping tools are available from ITT Cannon, if desired.
Reactivate loads (relay coils) must be shunted with transient suppression. 2.4.2.4 Dual Channeling The NAV122D is sent from the factory with the remote channeling active. The NAV122D has dual channeling capabilities. To activate dual channeling capabilities remove jumper JP802 from the bottom interconnect board (see figure 2- 9).
2.4.2.6 Dimmer Control Adjustment The NAV122D has a two step dimming circuit. This dimming compares the balance of the pilot lights to the display. As pilot lights are dimmed by means of aircraft dimmer this diplay will dim. The display’s intensity can be adjusted by varying R103 located on top left hand control behind mounting screw.
These connections are used to control the digital display on the front of the NAV122D/GPS. When one or the other of these lines is at it’s active level, the display of the NAV122D/GPS will be ‘GPS’ instead of frequency. (see figure 2-10A or 2-10C).

NARCO AVIONICS NAV122D, NAV122D/GPS 2.5 POST INSTALLATION TESTS The purpose of this series of tests is to assure proper operation of the installed avionics equipment. First, and most important, is complete inspection of the installation to be sure that all aircraft flight controls operate freely and correctly.
INSTALLATION SECTION 2 2.5.1 Pre Flight Tests For this series of in-aircraft tests, the aircraft’s engines, rotating beacon, electrical and avionics equipment should be operating. Note any abnormal interaction or interference (ignition or rotating beacon noise, abnormal deflection, compass deviation, etc.) observed during these tests. The following procedure requires ramp type test equipment such as that offered by Tel-Instrument Corporation or IFR Incorporated A.
