i. Operating Instructions

1. General
The IND-5000, P/N 50-5020-(XX) operation is independent of the Aircraft Navigation
system to which it is interfaced, operating instructions for that system will need to be followed.
The indicator should become operational upon application of aircraft avionics power and provides
the following information on a two line display.

BRG XXX Bearing in Degrees.

DIS XXX.X Distance to station in Kts.

2. Controls
The 50-5020-XX Indicator has one control on the front panel. The "DIM" control located
on the lower right and adjusts the LED display brightness. (NOTE: The panel back lighting is
controlled by the aircraft instrument panel dimming).

3. Flags and Warnings

The 50-5020-XX Indicator will detect the following failures from the serial data bus:

Valid Bearing BRG 888

Invalid Distance DIS ---.-

ii. Equipment Limitations

The IND-5000 indicator is only a display of ARINC digital data received from other on-
board flight or navigation system outputs. The update speed, accuracy, and data available for
display is directly limited to the output of the system to which it is interfaced. In effect, it is a
display component of that flight or navigation system and therefore subject to all inherent
limitations of those systems.

The IND-5000 operates at 22 to 29.5 VDC power. It cannot be used for emergency 18
VDC operation.

iii. Installation Procedures

1. Introduction

This section contains information relative to the installation of the IND-5000 indicator to
assure satisfactory performance of the unit. (See sections iv. and v. for detailed mechanical and
wiring diagrams.)

2. Unpacking and Inspecting Equipment

After unpacking the IND-5000, make a visual inspection of the unit for evidence of
damage incurred during shipment. If a claim for damage is to be made, save the shipping
container to substantiate the claim.

3. Pre-Installation Check

The IND-5000 should be bench checked for proper system operation prior to being
installed in the aircraft.

4. Power Requirements

The IND-5000 has been designed to accept from 22 to 29.5 VDC power with no special
modification or wiring considerations. The IND-5000 operates from a standard +28 VDC aircraft
power source. Circuit protection should be provided with an in-line 0.5 Amp breaker. Panel
dimming for the unit can be either +5 or +28 VDC, depending on aircraft requirements.

5. Post-installation Check

Power: Upon application of the aircraft 28 VDC power verify the IND-5000 alphanumeric LED
displays. (i.e. RECV IDLE) System Check: After the system to which the IND-5000 has been
interfaced has been verified and is operating properly, verify that each data format function is
operational. Verify numerical data to other system displays where applicable (i.e. CDU, EFIS,
etc.).
