2. KGX Control Panel
INTRODUCTION
The KGX 150T/130T models interface to the KGX Control Panel (P/ :
89000016--001) used in--flight by the pilot to control output of ADS--B
messages. The KGX Control Panel receives power from and
communicates with the KGX 150T/130T. The KGX Control Panel
consists of the following components:
DMonochrome liquid crystal display (LCD)
DMode Selection knob
DCode Knob
DIdentification (IDT) button
DVisual flight rules (VFR) button
DFunction button
DEnter button.
Each of the KGX Control Panel functions will be explained in the
paragraphs that follow. Figure 2--1 shows the available control panel
components used for operating the KGX 150T/130T.

DISPLAY
The display in Figure 2--2 shows the operating mode of the
KGX 150T/130T, the current squawk code, Flight ID/Call Sign, and the
reported pressure altitude in hundreds of feet.
The wave symbol (shown in the pictures below) is active when the KGX
150T/130T transmits or receives ADS--B messages and is displayed on
the screen.
The wave symbol under the aircraft image traveling
upward indicates that the KGX 150T/130T is receiving
ADS--B messages.
The wave symbol under the aircraft image traveling
downward indicates that the KGX 150T/130T is
transmitting ADS--B messages.
The wave symbol traveling both upward and
downward indicates that the KGX 150T/130T is
receiving and transmitting ADS--B messages. The
KGX 150T/130T receives ADS--B transmissions
regardless of the transmission mode.
The pressure altitude is displayed as a Flight Level in hundreds of feet.
When non--standard atmospheric conditions apply, this may not match
the altimeter indicated altitude but will be correctly reported in the
ADS--B message

MODE SELECTION KNOB
The left hand mode selection knob, shown in Figure 2--3, controls the
power to the KGX 150T/130T and the operating mode.
Figure 2--3
Mode Selection Knob
The mode selection knob rotates between the different operating
modes, as defined in the following paragraphs:
OFF -- Power is removed from the KGX.
SBY -- The KGX 150T/130T is on but will
not transmit any ADS--B messages but
will still receive ADS--B messages.

ALT -- The KGX 150T/130T is placed in
Airborne Transmission Mode or
automatically switches between Airborne
and Ground Mode if an Air/G D Squat
switch is configured and the aircraft
velocity meets the criteria described in
DO--282B for the specific aircraft configuration. Pressure altitude is
reported.
NOTE: There is no functional difference between the two ALT knob
positions.
ON -- The KGX 150T/130T is placed in
Airborne Transmission Mode or
automatically switches between Airborne
and Ground Mode if an Air/G D Squat
switch is configured and the aircraft
velocity meets the criteria described in
DO--282B for the specific aircraft configuration. Pressure altitude
reporting is suppressed.
NOTE: When airborne, the control panel should always be set to
either of the two ALT positions, unless otherwise directed by
ATC.
CODE KNOB
The Code knob is used to set squawk codes, such as those listed in
Table 2--1, and the Flight ID. Push the Function (FN) button until either
the squawk code or Flight ID is highlighted at the top of the screen.
Turning the Code knob, shown in Figure 2--4, will highlight the first digit
on the display, and the digit can be changed as required by rotating the
Code knob. Push the Enter (ENT) button to advance to the next digit.
When ENT is pushed on the last digit, the new squawk code or Flight
ID will replace the previous value. If the code entry is not completed
within 7 seconds, the changes are ignored and the previous code is
restored.

1200 VFR code in the USA
7500 Hijack code
7600 Loss of communications
7700 Emergency code
The Call Sign/Flight ID should correspond to the aircraft call sign
entered on flight plan. If no flight plan is active, the aircraft registration
should be used as the Call Sign/ Flight ID. Use only letters and digits.
If the Call Sign/Flight ID is less than 8 characters long, entering a blank
character will end it.
PUSH BUTTONS
The push buttons are defined in the following paragraphs:
IDT -- Push the IDT button to activate
the Identification function. The IDT
button on the KGX Control Panel is
disabled when the squawk code is
displayed in reverse video. See the
External Control subsection later in this
section.
VFR -- Pushing the VFR button sets the
ADS--B to the pre--programmed code
and VFR Flight ID. Pushing the button
again restores the previous squawk
code and Flight ID.
ENT -- The ENT button enters a digit in
the code selector.

FN -- Pushing the FN button gives
access to changing the Call Sign/Flight
ID.
Either directly rotate the Code knob or
push the ENT key and the first
character of the flight ID will be
highlighted. Use the rotary Code knob
to select choice of alpha--numeric
characters. Push ENT again and the
cursor moves to the next character. You
must push ENT each time all the way
through the 8 characters to save the
Call Sign/Flight ID change.
GPS Position Page
Pushing the FN button again allows the
user to view the present GPS position
being transmitted.
Disp ay Brightness Page
Pushing the FN button a third time
allows the user to adjust the brightness
level of the screen. Turning the Code
knob to the right will make the screen
brighter. Turning the knob to the left will
decrease the brightness. When the
desired brightness is reached, push the FN button to lock the
brightness setting.
Warning Page
If there are any system messages, the
fourth push of the FN button displays the
Warning page.

EXTERNAL CONTROL
Control inputs such as squawk code, call sign, and mode control
(IDE T, Altitude Inhibit, Transmit Standby) are needed by the
KGX 150T/130T. The KGX 150T/130T can receive control inputs from
the KGX Control Panel, compatible transponder, and/or MFD. If an
external controller is configured and functional with the KGX Control
Panel installed, the KGX Control Panel displays status, but locks out
user control inputs. When control inputs are locked, the KGX Control
Panel displays reverse video of the transponder squawk code, as
shown in Figure 2--5.
Figure 2--5
Reverse Video of Transponder Squawk Code
If control inputs are received in ARI C format, then the call sign on the
Call Sign/Flight ID page cannot be changed and is displayed in reverse
video, as shown in Figure 2--6.
Figure 2--6
Call Sign Displayed in Reverse Video
The KGX Control Panel will remain locked for approximately
70 seconds for Mode A/C transponders and 7 seconds for other
controllers each time they are interrogated. During this time the IDENT
and VFR buttons on the KGX Control Panel are disabled and the
squawk code cannot be changed using the KGX Control Panel.
However, the FN button can still be used to view other information.

icon in the center of the LCD. The
M
S
G
icon will remain as long
as the malfunction remains. Depending on the nature of the
malfunction, the KGX 150T/130T may not be transmitting ADS--B
messages. Figure 2--7 shows the KGX Control Panel display when the
system message icon is present.
Figure 2--7
System Messages Icon
To view the system messages on the warning page, push FN four times.
The warning page is only available when the

3. WiFi Module
INTRODUCTION
The BendixKing KGX WiFi module is a complete, standalone
embedded wireless LA access device. The device has onboard
TCP/IP stack and applications, requiring only four pins (POWER,
232--TX, 232--RX, G D) to design in for basic usage. The module is
pre--loaded with firmware to simplify integration and minimize
application--development time.
COMPATIBLE APPS
Go to BendixKing.com for a list of compatible apps.
CONNECTING TO THE WIFI MODULE
The WiFi module can be connected from any device that supports an
802.11 wireless solution or chipset. For example, the WiFi module can
be connected using a laptop with a wireless chipset or any of the
currently available tablets and pads.
NOTE: The following instructions are not limited to a Windows laptop
or an iPad. They are applicable to other devices as well. The
figures are examples to aid in connecting to the WiFi module.
1. Ensure that the WiFi module is powered on.
2. To connect to the WiFi system, ensure that there is a valid wireless
connection to the system.
3. If already connected to a WiFi network, disconnect from the current
wireless network connection.
