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 li fe, 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.

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 GPSINA V switching & Annunciator Panel is approved
for installation with the following mode! number only:
GPS mode! GNS 430 1 530 1 530W
Garmin International Inc.
Installation of this equipment to any other GPS is disapproved.
The condition and tests required for TSO approval of this article are
minimum performance standards. lt is the responsibility ofthose desiring
to install this article either on or within a specifie type or class of aircraft
to determine that the aircraft installation conditions are within the TSO
standards. The article may be installed only if further evaluation by the
applicant documents an acceptable installation and is approved by the
Administrator.
NOTE: Anytime the AK-950 is disconnected or removed from the
aircraft, the HSI 1 CDI will be inoperative in both NAY (VOR) and GPS.

INSTAllATION AND TEST
2.1
UNPACKING AND INSPECTING EOUIPMENT
2.2
2.2.1
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.
MECHANICALINSTALIATION
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.
EOUIPMENT 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 1 CDI
that will be displaying the FPS information. The unit depth,
with
connecter
atttached,
must
also
be
taken
into
consideration.
A void mounting close to heater vents or other high he at
sources.
The indicator is secured in place behind the panel since it is
designed for re ar mount only. Make a panel cutout as shown
in Figure 2-1. Secure the indicator in place with four 4-40 x
3/8 to 1 .0" flat head phillips screws.
2.2.2
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 ether
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 additional 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 RELAYS
ROUTING OF CABLES
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. 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 to figure 3-3
Use at least 24 AWG wire for ali connections. Vou
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.
