1.5 EQUIPMENT LIMITATIONS
The AK-950 series control units contain specifie dash numbers to be
used with various GPS receivers. The installer must match the correct
controller part number with the GPS receiver being installed.
This equipment GPSINAV switching & Annunciator Panel is approved
for installation with the following mode! number only:
GPS mode! GNS 400 1500 1 GNC 420 1520
Garmin lntemationallnc.
Installation of this equipment to any other GPS is disapproved.
The condition and tests required for TSO approval of this article are

INSTALLATION AND TEST
2.1 UNPACKING AND INSPECTING EOUIPMENT
2.2
2.2.1
2.2.2
Extreme care when unpacking the equipment. Visual inspection
of the equipment for evidence of damage incurred during
shipment. Any claim should be promtly filed with the
transportation company. Save the shipping container to
subtantiate the claim. Retain the container and packaging
material for possible future use.
MECHANICAL INSTALLATION
The AK-950 is designed with the installer in mind. Ali
accessories which are required for completing system
installation are provided, including Pre-fabricated Wiring Cable
Assembly.
EQUIPMENT LOCATION
The AK-950 must be mounted as close to the pilot's field of
view as possible. The preferable location is near the HSI 1CDI
that will be displaying the FPS information. The unit depth,
with connecter atttached, must also be taken into
consideration.
Avoid mounting close to heater vents or other high heat
sources.
The
indicator is secured in place behind the panel since it is
designed for rear mount only. Make a panel cutout as shawn
in Figure 2-1. Secure the indicator in place with four 4-40 x
3/8 to 1.0" flat head phillips screws.
COOLING
No direct cooling is required. As with any electronic
equipment, overall reliability may be increased if the AK-950 is
not located near any high heat source or crowded next to other
equipment. Means of providing a gentle air flow will be a plus.

ADDITIONAL ANNUNCIATIONS
Depending upon the installation and approving agency, you may
be required to provide addition al NA V Source Select external
annunciators near the HSI 1 COl. Spare relay contacts on the
AK-950 connector may be used for this purpose.
ADDITIONAL RELA Y~
The AK-950 contains 24 relay pales. Some installations may
require more than 24 pales due to data lines, superflags, etc.
If this should occur, you may use one spare relay pole to switch
additional relays. ln cases where it may be more desirable to
have ali the relay switching done at a remote location, (i.e.:
remote
mounted equipment). one relay pole on the AK-950 may
be used for switching this bank of relays. Please note that the
maximum relay contact rating for the AK-950 is 2 amps DC.
ROUTING
OF GABLES
Care
must be taken not to bundle the AK-950 logic and low
level signal lines with any high energy sources. Examples of
these sources include 400 Hz AC, Comm. DME, HF and
transponder transmitter coax. Always use shielded wire when
shawn on the installation print. Avoid sharp bends in cabling
and
routing near aircraft control cables.
2.3 ElECTRICAliNSTAllATION
Refer to figure 3-1 for Schematic Pinout Assignment for
Connector, and figure 3-2 for Electrical Schematic Diagram.
Wire the aircraft harness according to figure 3-3 or 3-4 or 3-5
or 3-6. Use at least 24 AWG wire for ali connections. You
MUST use shielded wire where shawn. Avoid sharp bends and
routing cable near high energy sources. Care must be taken to
tie the harness away from aircraft contrais and cables. Normal
installation techniques should be applied.
