Introduction This manual describes the installation of the BendixKing KI 300 Electronic Attitude Indicator. It is intended for use by FAA certified repair stations to install the KI 300 indicator and includes both mechanical and electrical installation information. System configuration, and continued airworthiness are included. The installer must ensure that all functions are operating properly according to their intended purpose in their particular installation.
The KA 310 Autopilot Adapter is an optional remote mounted analog and digital unit. The unit receives attitude data from the KI 300 and converts the serial data into analog or digital outputs to support an interface to BendixKing legacy autopilots. Refer to the KA 310 AML STC Installation Manual PN 89000004-200 for detailed installation information on the KA 310.

Refer to the troubleshooting instructions in Section 6 - Troubleshooting. If repair is necessary, the unit must be sent to a BendixKing repair facility. There are no field repairable items inside the KI 300. For information on returning the unit, contact BendixKing support.
If installation is being performed on an aircraft with a retro-fit EFIS/PFD installation, the FAA approved installation guidance for that product must be considered when installing the KI 300 as a backup to those installations. Compatibility with the primary EFIS/PFD must be evaluated and considerations may include: ...
The KI 300 may be eligible to replace the Rate-Of-Turn Indicator in certain applications. Refer to FAA AC 91-75 for additional details. 3.2.4 Battery Operation The battery sub-system in the KI 300 is designed to fulfill the needs of an independent power source per 14 CFR 23.1353(h). Considerations are as follows: ...
The above deviations have been FAA approved. 3.2.8 Degraded Mode Operations Errors will not exceed TSO limit specifications. When a cross check message is present, the KI 300 is considered to be in degraded mode. The TSO tested maneuvers represent typical flight. Degraded mode may occur if a pilot maintains an accelerated frame of reference (i.e.

Turret) Unpacking and Inspection Exercise extreme caution when unpacking the equipment. Do a visual inspection of the KI 300 unit for evidence of damage incurred during shipment. If a damage claim must be filed, save the shipping container and all packing materials to substantiate your claim. The claim must be filed as soon as possible.
Figure 4-1 Unit Front and Rear Views Mounting Hole The KI 300 is designed to mount in a standard 3” round mounting hole. The supplied front mounting bracket and rear mounting bracket (Kit PN 89500004-100) must be utilized to mount the instrument.
3. Keep power and ground lines less than 1 meter in length. The KI 300 is supplied with one 9 pin Sub-D female mating connector and back-shell. The Sub-D connector uses screw lock assemblies to secure the connector to the unit.
All electrical connections are made on the single rear mounted 9 pin Sub-D. Connections indicated as Reserved - Do Not Connect (DNC) should not be connected in the installation. Power and ground are applied to pins 5 and 9 respectively. Table 4-1: KI 300 Electrical Pin Out PIN # FUNCTION...
When selecting alternate fittings, do not allow the threads to penetrate more than 0.3 inches into the unit, otherwise sensor damage will occur. Do not remove the foam filter located in the body of the unit. 89000004-101 KI 300 Installation Manual Rev 1 Page 4-5...

The altimeter function must be tested and inspected in accordance with 14 CFR 91.411. Battery Maintenance The KI 300 contains a field-replaceable Li-Poly battery pack. This battery requires periodic replacement to ensure sufficient capacity is available to meet performance specifications.
Figure 5-2 Li-Poly Battery Connections 1. Only the approved batteries are to be used. See specification section of this document for the applicable BendixKing part number(s). 2. Ensure power is not supplied to the unit by either pulling the applicable circuit breaker, or turning off the master switch.
1. Connect the pitot-static test set to the aircraft static system. The KI 300 must be connected to the aircraft static system. 2. Apply power to the KI 300 while holding the pushbutton down in order to enter setup mode and allow the internal encoder to stabilize.
5. Configure the pitot-static test set to obtain an airspeed reading of 30 kts. 6. On the KI 300, adjust the trim setting until the airspeed tape reads 30 kts, then press the knob to proceed to the “IAS Trim @ 400 kts” page.
