INTERFACE

4.1 Introduction

The MK VI and MK VIII EGPWS provide electrical interfaces for aircraft systems and to support maintenance functions.
The interfaces are made via the front panel aircraft interface connectors, front panel maintenance/test port and front panel
LED’s. A TNC coaxial connector is located on the front panel for internal GPS receivers in the 965-1190-0XX MK VI
EGPWC, and 965-1220-0XX MK VIII EGPWC only. The following sections describe the types of electrical interfaces
provided in the EGPWC. See Section 5 for the specific interface configuration capabilities of the MK VI and MK VIII
EGPWS.

4.2 Signal

Interfaces

This section identifies and describes the number and characteristics of each interface type provided in the front panel aircraft
interface connectors. The aircraft interface connectors are defined as P1 (78 pins) and P2 (50 pins). Section 8 identifies the
connector pin assignments. The signal mnemonic for each signal in Section 8 is included in the following sections. All
synchro inputs are brought in as three or five wire devices. No two wire absolute AC signals are available. All analog inputs
provide broken wire detection on all input signal legs. Unless otherwise stated, the “Maximum reverse fault current” is
defined as the current resulting from an internal component failure, with the input signal at zero volts.

4.2.1 Grounds
4.2.1.1 Chassis Ground

Used for redundant metal connection. This pin is internally connected to DC Ground (see section 4.2.1.2).

Pin Assignment (Signal Mnemonic):

J1-42, J1-53

(GND)

4.2.1.2 DC Ground

For discrete inputs and lamp driver outputs. These pins are also internally connected to Chassis Ground (see section 4.2.1.1).

Pin Assignment (Signal Mnemonic):

(same as +28 VDC Return)

J1-41, J1-61

(PWR_L)

NOTE: All analog signals are differential input.
