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.
KLN 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"...

ARM and ACTV and provide a momentary switch function to arm, disarm, or deactivate the Approach Mode and change the CDI scale factors. The KLN 94 may require an annunciator to display when approach is armed or active.
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.
STC approval. 1.8.4 Pilots Guide The KLN 94 pilots guide must be placed in the aircraft in a location that is accessible to the pilot. The pilots guide is P/N 006-18207-0000. 1.9 INSTRUCTIONS FOR CONTINUED AIRWORTHINESS 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.
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...
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.
Avoid sharp bends or locating the cable near aircraft control cables. C. The KLN 94 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.
Page 29
Unless otherwise specified, pins not used are to be left open. CONNECTOR P941 Pin 1; GENERAL RS 232 IN Pin 1 is the RS 232 input. The KLN 94 must be configured correctly for the type of equipment (or no equipment) connected to this input. Refer to Section 2.4.1 for the configuration procedure.
Page 30
Pin 16 is the Message annunciator output. This output is tied to a remote annunciator lamp. When the line is pulled low the annunciator lamp will illuminate. The annunciator will be on whenever the message prompt on the KLN 94 is on. For more complete information refer to the KLN 94 Pilots Guide, P/N 006-18207-0000.
Page 31
Pin 2; TAKE HOME Pin 2, when grounded, places the KLN 94 in Take-Home mode which is used for trip planning and flight simulation. 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.
Page 32
Pin 18; A/C POWER MONITOR Pin 18 is the aircraft power monitor. It senses voltages ranging from 0 to 33 V. The KLN 94 can be configured to allow the selection of a voltage alert set point and a voltage alert delay interval for use with this input.
Page 33
Pin 29; C2 Pin 30; C4 These pins are gray code altitude inputs from an encoding altimeter. If the KLN 94 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. The KLN 94 has diodes already installed internally.

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 second MNT+1 page has the following selection choices and format. Changes are made using the CRSR button and concentric knob as described above. 1.Whether the KLN 94 is interfaced with a fuel management system. 2.Whether the fuel management system includes it own control/indicator used to enter fuel quantity.
Page 73
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.

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.

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.
KLN 94 B. Configuring the KLN 94 to operate with KFC 225 (attitude-based flight control system): 1. Select MNT 8 page. 2. Push CRSR button. The cursor will appear over the second line. 3. Select “Bank Angle” and push CRSR again. The screen should look like:...
KLN 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.
(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.

KLN 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.
Page 82
“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.

KLN 94 FLIGHT MANUAL SUPPLEMENT PROCEDURE For the installation of the KLN 94 GPS to be FAA approved for enroute and approach IFR operation, it is necessary for the installer to create a flight manual supplement that is unique for the installation and to submit that supplement to the FAA for approval.
Page 111
Should this be the case, you will need to alter the text of this paragraph and its subparagraphs to accurately describe the operation of the KLN 94 as it exists in your installation. Do not include descriptions of annunciators, switches or controls not present in your installation.

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 are required. However, if the KLN 89B is configured only for IFR Enroute operations, the KLN 94 must be configured the same way.
