Function

Notes

1 Pitch servo reversal circuit

2 Pitch servo reversal circuit

Install jumper between pins 1 & 2 to reverse pitch servo
direction.

If jumper is already installed between pins 1 & 2, cut it
to reverse pitch servo direction.

3 Control Wheel Switch. Connect as shown in wiring diagram to a SPST momentary switch

located remotely to the autopilot for convenient engage/disengage function.

4 Pitch Servo Torque Control. A signal from the autopilot to the pitch servo which sets the

amount of torque to be delivered by the servo.

5 Pitch Servo Trim Sensor. A signal from the pitch servo to the autopilot which indicates

an out-of-trim condition and its direction.

6 Unused.

7 Auxiliary RS-232 Output.

8 Pitch Servo control lines. These lines cause the stepping motor in the pitch servo to run

in the appropriate direction at the desired velocity. They are small-signal lines and do not
have any substantial current-carrying capability or require any special shielding. Connect

to pitch servo as shown on wiring diagram.

Do NOT attempt to
reverse servo direction
by swapping wires

13 Ground Connection. Provide #20 AWG to common grounding point.

14 ARINC-A

Digital differential signals from Garmin, Sierra, or other panel-mount
receiver which provide directional steering commands (GPSS, GPSV) to
autopilot

15 ARINC-B

16 Roll Servo Torque Control. A signal from the autopilot to the roll (aileron) servo which

sets the amount of torque to be delivered by the servo.

17 Primary Serial Input. Baud rate selectable 1200, 2400, 4800 or 9600 baud.

Automatically decodes NMEA-0183, Garmin Aviation Format, or Apollo/UPSAT Moving-
Map or GPSS format. Provides directional reference to the autopilot.

18 Auxiliary RS-232 Input. Presently unused, intended for future expansion.

19 No connection

Roll (aileron) Servo control lines. These lines cause the stepping motor in the roll servo
to run in the appropriate direction at the desired velocity. They are small-signal lines and
do not have any substantial current-carrying capability or require any special shielding.

Connect to roll servo as shown on wiring diagram.

Reverse servo direction
if necessary by
swapping wires on pins

20 and 21. See note 2 on
wiring diagram.
