Garmin GNS 430/530: interfacing Air-Data & Fuel-Management
Hello,
does anyone know, if the Garmin 430/530 can interface to an air-data computer and a fuel computer (like e.g. the King KLN 90B)? The question rose when watching the FlightVideoProduction Piper Meridian DVD. When the pilot used one of the utility pages of his 430 to calculate wind direction and magnitude he dialed in Alt, Speed, Heading and Temperatur (the same way I do with the 430 in our Club's Dakota ;-). Since the Meridian is fairly advanced I wonder why there is no interfacing to the air-data computer I presume the Meggit installation demands. Thanks in advance for the answer.

My JPI EDM800 engine monitor interfaces with my Garmin GNS430, automatically providing fuel flow and fuel on board (assuming I provided accurate FOB to the JPI, which I always do) in the Garmin's fuel planning page. -- Peter ----== Posted via Newsfeeds.Com - Unlimited-Uncensored-Secure Usenet News==---- http://www.newsfeeds.com The #1 Newsgroup Service in the World! 120,000+ Newsgroups ----= East and West-Coast Server Farms - Total Privacy via Encryption =---- |

THe 430/530 needs and ARINC interface. The KLN90B will take either. It
the current interface is ARINC you are ok. If it is and RS-232 you need a new airdata computer. Shadin ADC-200 is RS-232 the ADC-2000 is ARINC and RS-232.

Actually that is not true. The 430/530 will take either 232 or 429.

The Shadin must also have the ability to query the 430 (RS-232). Some
models have "receive" data but not "talk" ability. The Shadin also must have a software version of 60.01.72 or higher. We just went through this on a Shadin Mini-flow unit we purchased off Ebay.

We just went through this on a Shadin Mini-flow unit we purchased off Ebay. We've a Shadin Microflow. Is this software-upgradable, and - if so - how does one determine the version of software installed? The specs in the user's manual (all I have at the moment) indicate an RS-232 output "if installed" that is compatible with a KLN-88 or KLN-90. - Andrew |

We've a Shadin Microflow. Is this software-upgradable, and - if so - how does one determine the version of software installed? Diagnostic software is built into the system. To activate it, press the ENTER/TEST button. All of the digits will be sequentially on in a rotating pattern for ten seconds. If the test is successful, the word âGoodâ will appear in the display window for three seconds. If the test is not successful, the word âbAdâ and an error message identifying the error will be displayed. In such case, the unit will cease to function and must be considered unserviceable until corrective action is taken. At the end of the test routine the system will display the following: 1. The K-factor for the flow transducer in the left window, and the display units (ie; gal, P5.8, P6.7) in the right window. Note: In the twin engine models the K-factor for the right engine appears in the right window of the next display screen. 2. Lt ( ): Loran or GPS type appears in the left window (without signal, will display âLOFâ). 3. The distance to waypoint or destination is displayed as shown on the Loran-C or GPS receiver to check the Data Interface Integrity (not available without signal). 4. âFULâ appears in the left window and the maximum usable fuel in the right window. 5. Software Version. 6. If the system cannot read the navigation receiver data, âLbdâ will display in the right window. Good luck. Mine doesn't talk to our 430. You can ask Shadin Tech support if the software is upgradeable. Here is their number: 800-388-2849 Jon Kraus '79 Mooney 201 4443H @ TYQ |
