Section I General Information
INTRODUCTION
This manual contains information regarding the physical, mechanical, and electrical characteristics, plus,
the installation requirements for the AIU-900 series Autopilot Interface Unit.
SCOPE
This manual provides detailed installation instructions for the AIU-900 series Autopilot Interface Unit.
EQUIPMENT DESCRIPTION
The Deklin Technologies, Inc. AIU-900 series are a pre-assembled autopilot interface unit following the
interconnect specifications and component requirements recommended by the manufacturers of certain
PFD systems when interfaced with existing 1C388 series autopilot couplers. It is intended to provide a
convenient solution in a single device with multiple variations for installers to use in place of producing
the same circuits from discrete components as specific in PFD installation manuals. The installer is
responsible to certify as airworthy and determine eligibility of this product for installation in accordance
with FAA Parts 21 and 43, IAW AC20-62E, Section 11, Paragraph a.
11. ELECTRICAL PARTS AND INSTRUMENTS.
a. Electronic Kits.
Kits assembled by noncertificated individuals are not eligible for installation on TC’d
aircraft until the part is certified as airworthy and found eligible for installation in
accordance with parts 21 and 43. During and after assembly, these kits should receive
documented conformity inspections by properly certificated persons to ensure that they
meet all applicable airworthiness requirements for use on the specific aircraft on which
they are to be installed. The installation of these approved units should be accomplished
by or under the supervision of a properly certificated person or agency in accordance with
parts 21 and 43. When the installation is a major alteration, the kit data and the data used
for the alteration of the product must be approved by a representative of the
Administrator. An appropriately certificated person must complete the maintenance
records to ensure that the aircraft is approved and airworthy for return to service.
The AIU-900 series standard features:
EFD1000PRO PFD to Century 1C388 series autopilot couplers.
G500 PFD to Century 1C388 series autopilot couplers.
Small size
D-Sub connector
Easily mounted

Section II - Installation
GENERAL INFORMATION
Scope
This section provides detailed installation and interconnection instructions for the AIU-900 Autopilot
Interface Unit. Please read this manual carefully before beginning any installation to prevent damage and
post installation problems. Installation of this equipment requires special knowledge and tools.
Installation Requirements
The AIU-900 requires specialized knowledge and tools for an effective installation. An appropriately
rated Certified Repair Station must install this equipment in accordance with applicable regulations.
Deklin Technologies, Inc warranty is not valid unless installed by an authorized FAA approved repair
station. Failure to follow any of the installation instructions, or installation by a non-certified individual or
agency will void the warranty and may result in a non-airworthy installation.
Unpacking and Inspection
Use care when unpacking the equipment. Inspect the unit and all the parts supplied for visible signs of
shipping damage. Examine the unit for loose or broken pieces. Verify the correct quantity of components
supplied with the list in Section I. If any claim is to be made, save the shipping material and contact the
freight carrier. DO NOT return any items damaged in shipping to Deklin Technologies, Inc. If any items
show signs of external shipping damage, contact Deklin Technologies, Inc for a replacement. Do not
attempt to install a damaged unit. Equipment returned to Deklin Technologies, Inc for any other reason
should be shipped in the original packaging, or other UPS approved packaging.
INSTALLATION PROCEDURES
Cooling Requirements
Forced air-cooling is not required for the AIU-900. However, the equipment should be kept away from
heat sources without adequate cooling provided. (i.e. defrost or heating ducts, dropping resisters, heat
producing avionics.)
Mounting Requirements
The AIU-900 must be mounted inside the pressure vessel in a temperature controlled environment unless
the aircraft’s service ceiling is less than 25,000 feet.
The AIU-900 must be rigidly mounted to a secure structure in accordance with FAA Advisory Circular
AC 43.13-2B. The unit should be mounted in an area with adequate clearance for the unit and associated
wiring.
Cable Harness Wiring
Refer to the included wiring diagrams for pin out configurations. All wires must be MIL-SPEC in
accordance with current regulations. All shielded wire should be MIL-C-27500 or equivalent (with solder
sleeves for shield termination) and must be used where specified. Proper stripping, shielding and
soldering techniques must be used at all times.
Refer to FAA Advisory Circular AC 43.13-2B for more information. Failure to use correct techniques
may result in improper operation, electrical noise, and/or unit failure. Damage caused by improper
installation will void warranty.

Noise
Due to the variety and high power of equipment in today’s aircraft, there is a potential for both electrical
and conducted noise interference. To minimize the occurrence of noise being introduced into the system,
please follow these installation guidelines.
Do not bundle any lines from this unit with transmitter coax lines.
Do not bundle any lines from this unit with any other audio or high voltage power lines.
Do not bundle any lines from this unit with 400 Hz synchro wiring or AC power lines such as
strobes or inverters.
Do not position this unit or route wiring from this unit next to any device with a strong alternating
magnetic field such as an inverter.
Use shielded wire where shown and ground as indicated.
Post Installation Check
After installation wiring is complete, verify no power is on any pin and airframe ground on pin 5 only.
Operational Checkout
Follow instructions in specific OEM PFD Installation Manuals for check out procedures.
