066-4010-10 NAV COMP VOR/LOC/RNAV/GS 14/28 VDC

Overview

• Panel mounted navigation system consisting of VOR/Localizer receiver, RNAV computer, and glideslope receiver (basic model)
• Similar to KNS-80 navigation system but DOES NOT include DME section
• Models available WITHOUT glideslope receiver (see table in specifications)
• Models available with Special subdued pushbutton lighting where standard button lighting could provide a distraction problem (see table in specifications)
• Models available with shiny lens for high mounting angles or pedestal mount installations or non-glare lens for conventional installations (see table in specifications)
• Models available with optional communcations bus from the KNS-81 to the KGR-356 Radar Graphics system which provides visual indication of the waypoints in relation to the weather and the VORTAC (see table in specifications)
• Models availables with black or grey bezel (see table in specifications)
• Models available will communication option which interfaces the KNS-81 with the KTU-709 TACAN allowing the KNS-81 to accept TACAN information. VOR.PAR mode is not available on TACAN units. The PAR nomenclature on the display is replaced with TAC nomenclature (see table in specifications)
• Models available with front panel with RFI shield (see table in specifications)
• Models available with helicopter option designed to provide increased immunity to rotor modulation interference (see table in specifications)
• Models available with 9 or 10 waypoint data storage (see table in specifications)
• Simultaneously displays waypoint parameters of frequency, radial and distance plus up to ten waypoints (TACAN version will also tune TACAN receiver and display TACAN channels & receiving radial information)
• 200-channel VOR/LOC receiver
• Digital RNAV computer with capability for preselection and storage of 4 VOR/LOC frequencies and/or complete RNAV waypoints
• 40-channel Glideslope receiver (optional, see table in specifications)
• Provide OBI outputs for driving an RMI indicator such as KI-229 or KNI-582
• Will operate on any voltage from 11 to 33 volts
• Large Scale Integrated (LSI) circuits used which results in complete unit weighing only 5 lbs. with a low power consumption of 15 watts
• Automatic dimming circuit for display compensates for changes in ambient light level
• Can be interfaced to KN-63, KDM-706 DME units and KTU-709 TACAN
• Commonly used with KI-202 VOR indicator or KI-206 VOR/GS indicator but can be used with KNI-510/510/510B/520/525 or KPI-550A/551A/552/553/553A Navigation indicators, KI-525/525A HSI units, KDI-572/573/574 DME indicators
• No external dummy loads or programming jumpers are required for interfacing
• TSO’d
• Can be used in conjunction with KA-155 FM filter to achieve FM immunity for use in Europe
