1 .4.3 ANTENNA COUPLERS
In sorne KN 53 installations it may be desirable to allow the Glideslope Receiver to operate off
the aircraft's navigation antenna. In other installations it may be desirable to operate two NAV/
LOC receivers or two GS receivers off a common antenna. Low-loss couplers are available to
allow such operation; an overall degradation in sensitivity will be realized due to the insertion loss
of the coupler. The installer must verify that acceptable sensitivity and proper system perfor­
mance is realized in a system that utilizes a coupler. A minimum of 20 dB of GS receiver-to­
receiver isolation is required in dual installations employing a KN 53 GS receiver.
Examples of sorne common couplers are listed below. Contact the coupler manufacturar for
specification or information on the TSO status of the couplers listed.

INSTALLATION

2. 1 GENERAL INFORMATION
This section contains information relativa to the installation and wiring of the KN 53. A close
adherence to methods and procedures discussed herein is required.

2.2 UNPACKING AND INSPECTING EQUI PMENT

Exercise extreme care when unpacking the equipment. Make a visual inspection of the unit for
evidence of damage incurred during shipment. lf a claim for damage is to be made, save the
shipping container to substantiate the claim. The claim should be promptly filed with the trans­
portation company. lt would be advisable to retain the container and packaging material after
all equipment has been removed in the event that equipment storage or re-shipment should
become necessary.

2.3 EQUI PMENT INSTALLATION

2.3.1 Avionics Cooling Requirements For Panel Mounted Equipment

The greatest single contributor to increased reliability of all modern day avionics is to limit the
maximum operating temperatura of the individual units. While modern day individual circuit
designs consume much less electrical energy, the watts per cubic inch dissipated within avion­
ics units remains much the same due to high density packaging techniques utilized. Conse­
quently, the importance of providing avionics stack cooling is still with us.
While an individual unit may not require torced air cooling, the combinad heat load of several
units operating in a typical avionics stack will significantly degrade the reliability of the avionics
if provisions for stack cooling are not incorporated in the initial installation. Recommendations
on stack cooling are contained in Bendix/King lnstallation Bulletin #55 and 258. Failure to pro­
vide stack cooling will certainly lead to increased avionics maintenance costs and may void the
Bendix/King warranty.

2.3.2 KN 53 INSTALLATION (Figures 2-1 through 2-9)

A. Plan a location on the aircraft panel that is clearly visible and within easy access
of the pilot.

B. Avoid mounting the KN 53 close to heater vents or other high heat sources.

C. Compass safe distance is 8 inches for worst case deflection of one degree.

D. When installing two or more panel mounted units in a stack, the mounting trays
shall be spaced .050 inches (. 1 27 cm) apart. Newer style mounting trays have
had .025 inch (.063 cm) dimples built in, top and bottom, both sides, so that two
new style trays will automatically be spaced properly.

E. lnstall the mounting rack in the aircraft using 6-32 x 1/2 flat head phillips screws
(P/N 089-06012-0008) and 6-32 clip nuts (P/N 089-02353-0001 ). The screws are
inserted from the inside through the holes in the sides of the mounting rack.

F. Connect the harness wires to the connector pins and insert the connector pins
into the rear of the Molex connector. See Figure 2-1.

G. Mount the Molex connector in the two holes at the rear of the mounting rack. Use
two 4-40 x 7/1 6 pan head, phillips screws (P/N 089-05903-0007) and two #4 split
lock washers (P/N 089-08003-0034). Orient the connector so the polarizar key is
shown in Figure 2-5.

H. Connect the antenna cables to the antenna connectors (Figure 2-2).

l. lnsert the antenna connector(s) through the hole in the rear of the mounting rack
from the outside. Secure each antenna connector with a spacer (P/N 089-08252-
0030) and retaining ring (P/N 090-00019-0007) installed from the inside of the
rack.

J. lnstall the KN 53 into the mounting rack and secure by turning the hold down
adjustment screw (accessible through a hole in the front panel) clockwise with an
Allen hex wrench until it is locked into place (Figure 2-4).

2.3.3 MOLEX CONNECTOR ASSEMBLY (Figure 2-1 )

A. Solderless Contact Terminal Assembly using Molex Crimper

Refer to instructions in Figure 2-1 .

B. Solderless Contact Terminal Assembly using Pliers

1. Strip each wire 5/32" for contact terminal (Part Number 030-011 07-0030).
(The last two digits of the contact terminal part number indicate the number of
terminals furnished).
2. Tin the exposed conductor.
3. Using needle nose pliers, fold over each conductor tab in turn, onto the
exposed conductor. When both tabs have been folded, firmly press the tabs
against the conductor.
4. Repeat Step 3 for insulator tabs.
5. Apply a small amount of solder (using minimum heat) to the conductor/tab
connection to assure a good electromechanical joint.

C. Contact lnsertion into Molex Connector Housing

1 . After the contact terminals have been installed on the wiring harness, the
contact terminals can be insertad into the proper location in the connector
housing (P/N 030-01 094-0053). The terminal cannot be inserted upside
down. Be sure to push the terminal all the way in, until a click can be felt or
heard.
2. The self-locking feature can be tested by gently pulling on the wire.

D. Extraction of Contact from Molex Connector

1 . Slip the flat narrow blade of a Molex contact ejector tool, HT-1 884 (P/N 047-
05099-0001 ), under the contact on the mating side of the connector. By turn­
ing the connector upside down one can see the blade slide into the stop.
2. When the ejector is slid into place, the locking key of the contact is raised,
allowing the contact to be removed by pulling moderately on the lead.
3. Neither the contact or position is damaged by removing a contact; however,
the contact should be checked visually befare reinstalling in connector, to be
certain that retaining tab "A" extends as shown (See Figure 2-1 ) for retention
in connector.

2.3.4 NAV ANO GLIDESLOPE ANTENNA INSTALLATION

A. Antenna should be installed as per Advisory Circular 43. 1 3-2 Methods and Guide­
lines.
B. When multiple receivers will share a common antenna, refer to Section 1 .4.3 for
information on antenna couplers.

2.4 POST I NSTALLATION ADJUSTMENTS

The KN 53 has been calibrated to operate with the standard Bendix/King systems noted in Sec­
tion 1. Adjustments are accessible through the top and bottom covers to fine tune the navigation
system if required. The physical location of the adjustments are noted in Figure 2-4 and their
electrical functions are explained in Sections IV, V, and VI of the KN 53 Maintenance Manual (P/

Once the terminal is in the correct position, clase the jaws gently u ntil the terminal is held loosely
in place. Push wire stop down so that it rests snugly behind the contact portian of the terminal.

Strip the wiré insulation back 1/8 inch and insert the wire through the insulation tabs into the
conductor tabs until the insulation hits the conductor jaw face or until the conductor touches the
wi re stop.

WIRE STOP

Squeeze the handles until the crimp jaws clase and the ratchet releases.

Straighten the terminal if necessary, then release the pl ier grips and remove the crimped tenninal.

CRIMPING PRESSURE ADJUSTMENT

) lf too much or too little pressure is needed to release the crimper's ratchet pawl at the end of
the crimp stroke, the ratchet can be easily adjusted. A spanner wrench provided with the tool can
be used to loasen the lock nut, and rotate the keyed stud clockwise for increased pressure and
counter-clockwise for decreased pressure. Once the desired pressure hás been set, the lock nut
must be tightened again. Newer models may have a screwdriver ad.iustment.

NAVIGATION RECEIVER
SECTION 111
OPERATION

3. 1 GENERAL
lt is recommended that power to the KN 53 be turned on only after engine start-up, as this proce­
dure increases the reliability of the solid state circuitry.

The KN 53 front panel controls consist of the following. Reference Figure 3-1.

CONTROL DESCRI PTION

A OFFNOUIDENT
B FREQUENCY SELECT
e FREQUENCY TRANSFER

The unit is turned on by rotating Control A clockwise. The power off position is felt by counter­
clockwise rotation into a positiva switch detent. The NAV volume output is increased by clock­
wise rotation of Control A. Voice NAV information only is heard when Control A is pushed in.
When Control A is pulled out, the ldent signal plus voice information may be heard.

The outer knob of Control 8 is MHz select and moves CW (up) or CCW (down) in one M Hz steps.
The inner knob of Control 8 is the KHz select and moves CW (up) or CCW (down) in 50 KHz
steps.
NOTE: To increase frequency, rotate knobs clockwise; to decrease frequency,
rotate knobs counterclockwise. Moving either knob of Control B will
only update the standby displayed frequency. Remete DME, lnternal
Glideslope, and ILS channeling are also performed by this control.

The STAND8Y frequency can be moved to the USE (active) frequency by momentarily depress­
ing the frequency transfer switch, Control C. (i.e. when the frequency transfer switch is energizad
the USE frequency and STAND8Y frequency trade places).

The KN 53 gas discharge display brightness will automatically compensate for changas in ambi­
ent light level. The dimming is controlled by a photocell mounted behind the front panel lens to
the left of the display.

The KN 53 has 2 x 5 DME channeling information outputs. DME's (like the Bendix/King KN 62A)
can be channeled by the KN 53 outputs. (The KN 62A must be in the RMT mode). See Section 1 1
of this lnstallation Manual for interconnect information.

3.2 POST-I NSTALLATION CHECKOUT

An operational performance flight test is recommended after the installation is completad to

insure satisfactory performance of the equipment in its normal environment.

KN 53
NAVIGATION RECEIVER

To check the VOR/ILS system, select a VOR frequency within a forty nautical mile range. Listen
to the VOR audio and insure that no electrical interference such as magneto noise is present.
Check the tone identifier filter operation.
Fly inbound or outbound on a selected VOR radial and check for proper LEFT-RIGHT and TO­
FROM indications. Check the VOR accuracy.

NOTE: At low altitudes VOR Ground Station Scalloping may be present.

Flight test the ILS operation by flying a simulated ILS approach. Check localizar LEFT-RIG HT
deflection and, if applicable, glideslope deflection. Check the localizar accuracy in relation to the
ILS runway. Check the glideslope accuracy in relation to the published ILS approach altitude.
