SECTION 1
GENERAL INFORMATION
This manual contains information necessary for the
installation, test and operation of the model AK-950,
GPS 1 NA V Switching and Annunciator Panel, manufactured
by Ameri -King Corporation, California,
U.S.A.
DESCRIPTION
The AK-950 is a self-contained GPS 1 NAV Switching and .
Annunciator Panel. lt combines ali the necessary functions
required for switching HSI 1 CDI data inputs between a
conventional
NA V (VOR) receiver and the approach-certified
GPS receiver. ln addition, the AK-950 contains severa! GPS
status annunciations used to indicate modes selected by the
front panel switches and various inputs from the GPS receiver.
Features include Incandescent lamps
with 16,000 hours
average lite,
built in Automatic Dimming and Test for
Annunciator Panel.
Refer to figure 1-1 for Outline Drawing for ali Series for ali
Models' Annunciation Displays and Switches.
The following GPS systems are applicable:
* GPS 400/500 and
GNC 4:20/520

ADDITIONAL ANNUNCIATIONS
Depending upon the installation and approving agency, you may
be required to provide additional NA V Source Select external
annunciators near the HSI 1 CDI. Spare relay contacts on the
AK-950 connector may be used for this purpose.
ADDITIONAL RELAYS
The AK-950 contains 3 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 ta switch
additional relays. ln cases where it may be more desirable to
have ali the relay switching done at a rem ote 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 OC.
ROUTING OF CABLES
Care
must be taken not ta bundle the AK-950 logic and law
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. A void 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 ta figure 3-3
Use at least 24 AWG wire for ali connections. You
MUST use shielded wire where shawn. A void 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.
