Page 16: Power Input (Required)
This architecture allows the unit to continue operation if external power fluctuates or is completely lost. Each AV-30-E must have a dedicated, properly labeled, pilot resettable circuit breaker as part of the installation. Power for the unit may be supplied from either the avionics bus or the main battery master relay. -
Page 17: Audio Output (Optional)
VFR operations only. The AV-30-E does no computations or operations on the data obtained from the GPS navigator, and simply displays the received data in a textual or graphical format as configured by the pilot. -
Page 18: Tailbeaconx Control (Optional)
The supported protocols are contained in Section 14- Serial Interface Specification. 7.2.6 tailBeaconX Control (optional) The AV-30-E has the option of being the transponder control interface for an installed tailBeaconX. This requires an RS-232 serial connection from the tailBeaconX to the AV-30-E. tailBeaconX can also act as your GPS source using the existing serial connection. -

Page 21: Mounting Screw Length Restriction
Mounting Screw Length Restriction The AV-30-E is fastened to the instrument panel with four 6-32 screws. The unit mounts from the rear of the instrument panel, with the screws being inserted from the front of the panel. The four 6-32 Mounting screws must observe depth limits given the internal component design. -
Page 22: Wiring Diagrams
Wiring Diagrams The AV-30-E performs different functions when installed as an AI or DG, and therefore wiring varies based on installation. The following diagrams show connections for each configuration. The primary differences are that the DG does not require pitot or static connections (if the associated feature set is not desired), and audio alerting is not supported. - Page 23 MAY BE PARALLELED WITH SECOND AV-30-C AUDIO ALERTS NOT SUPPORTED WHEN INSTALLED AS DG – DO NOT CONNECT Figure 8 - Wiring Diagram – DG Position Installation Figure 9 - Wiring Diagram - tailBeaconX Installation UAV-1004234-001, AV-30-E, Installation Manual Revision A...
