SECTION 1 GENERAL DESCRIPTION INTRODUCTION The Mid-Continent Instruments and Avionics MD222-( ) two-inch Course Deviation Indicators (CDI) are designed to operate with VHF and GPS navigational equipment to provide OMNI (VOR), GPS, LOCALIZER (LOC), and Glideslope (GS) information. The MD222-402 and 502 are designed to accept DC Left-Right, To-From and Nav valid signals from a GPS receiver or remote mounted VOR converter.
1.2.5 EQUIPMENT LIMITATIONS REQUIREMENTS FOR VOR/ILS SYSTEM: 1. The navigation receiver shall be certified to the standards of TSO C40a/b/c or TSO C36c/d/e. REQUIREMENTS FOR GLIDESLOPE SYSTEM: 1. The glideslope receiver/converter shall be certified to the standards of TSO C34c/d/e. 2.
SECTION 2 INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS COOLING No direct cooling is required. As with any electronic equipment, overall reliability may be increased if the MD222-( ) is not located near any high heat source or crowded next to other equipment. EQUIPMENT LOCATION The MD222-( ) course deviation indicator must be mounted as close to the pilot’s field of view as possible.
SECTION 3 INSTALLATION PROCEDURES GENERAL INFORMATION This section contains interconnect diagrams, mounting dimensions and other information pertaining to the installation of the MD222-( ). After installation of cabling and before installation of the equipment, ensure that power is applied only to the pins specified in the interconnect diagram.

SECTION 4 POST INSTALLATION CHECK PRE-INSTALLATION TESTS With the MD222-( ) indicator disconnected, turn on the avionics master switch and verify that aircraft power on connector pin 12 is 14 VDC or 28 VDC. Using an ohmmeter, verify pin 13 is aircraft ground. DIMMING ADJUSTMENT During installation of the MD222-( ) course deviation indicator, check the brightness of the GPS, NAV, BC (if applicable) and VLOC annunciations as well as the compass ring.
4.3.2 LOCALIZER OPERATION Select the desired localizer frequency and observe that the vertical pointer is in view indicating a valid condition. The TO-FROM indication is not functional for localizer operation. When flying on the front course, or outbound on the back course, make corrections toward the localizer (vertical) needle deflection.
