1.2 Purpose

The CU 5301-( ) control unit is used to operate and control the RN 3320 - ( ) or RN 3330 - ( ) navigation
receiver. Both enable the reception and evaluation of VOR and LOC signals in the 108.00 MHz -
117.95 MHz frequency range on 200 channels. The RN 3320 - ( ) also contains a glidepath receiver
for the reception and evaluation of glidepath signals in the 329.15 MHz to 335.00 MHz frequency range
on 40 channels.

The mechanical construction of the control unit is such that it can be installed without limitation in
aircraft. There is no restriction with regard to installation in the instrument panel or installation by rigid
attachment to the fuselage in any aircraft, including rotary wing aircraft, in the verified environmental
categories.

1.3 General description

1.3.1 Mechanical description

The control unit is designed for installation in the instrument panel of aircraft. The dimensions
correspond to the ARINC standard for standard instruments of 60 mm (2 1/4") diameter. Installation
is by means of four bolts (back panel mounting).

All the controls and indicators are located on the front panel. The equipment connectors are fitted on
the back.

The control unit consists of the following circuit boards:

Display Board,
Switch Board,
Processor Board,
Power Supply Board.

Mechanically the control unit consists of a front section and rear section. The front section contains
the Display Board and the Switch Board and these boards are connected to each other by a connector
and held in place within the unit by four bolts. The Processor Board, which is also secured to the front
section by two bolts, is mounted on the switch board. The Power Supply Board is inserted into the
rear section and secured from outside (back of rear section) by three bolts. After all the boards are
assembled, the front and rear sections are joined and secured to each other by four bolts inserted
from the front section.

1.3.2 Electrical description

After power on, an initialization phase takes place between the control unit and navigation receiver.
During this period, data transmission takes place from the remote navigation receiver to the control
unit. This is necessary because the data backup takes place in the remote navigation receiver. On
completion of this phase, the mode which was set before power off is automatically displayed on the
control unit.

The frequencies are indicated by means of an LC display. The required active working frequency can
be set in the top line of the LC display by means of the MHz and kHz frequency selector switches.
The MHz rotary switch engages at steps of 1 MHz, the kHz rotary switch at 50 kHz steps. In the
frequency preselection mode, a faster frequency change between the set active frequency and the
preset frequency is achieved by pressing the (<->) exchange key.

A storage device enables 20 different frequencies to be stored, which are also retained when the unit
is switched off.

Data transmission between the control unit and navigation receiver takes place through a bi-directional,
serial RS 422 interface.

Section 2 INSTALLATION

2.1 General

The installation of the control unit depends on the type of aircraft and its equipment and therefore only
general information can be given in this section.

2.2 Inspection before installation

Before installing the control unit in an aircraft, carry out a visual inspection for any transport damage,
paying particular attention to the following.

1. Dirt, dents, scratches, corrosion, broken attaching parts on the housing and housing parts.

2. Dirt and scratches on the identification plate, front panel, LC display and marking.

3. Dirt, bent or broken pins, cracked connector inserts.

4. Dirt and mechanical damage to switches, keys and knobs.

5. Missing screws and bolts.

2.3 Mechanical installation

The control unit is designed for installation in the instrument panel of an aircraft. It is constructed for
rear panel mounting. The circular cutout and the attaching holes are to be drilled to suit a small
instrument size. The necessary dimensional details are given in Fig. 2-1. The unit is attached using
four bolts which are included in the scope of delivery. The aircraft wiring diagram is in Manual
DV 60603.04 of the RN 3320 - ( ) / RN 3330 - ( ) navigation receiver.

2.4 Aircraft wiring

2.4.1 General

The following points are to be observed for the wiring.

a.) Only cable fit for aviation (self-extinguishing) may be used. AWG 24 for power supply and AWG 24
for other cables.

b.) The interface lines TX-A/TX-B and RX-A/RX-B are each to be laid as 2-core twisted and screened
(AWG 24) cables.

c.) Rubber sleeves are to be fitted over the soldering points on the equipment connector.

DV 60511.03/.04 Issue 07/97 Page 2-1

 CU 5301 - ( )

d.) A 1 A fuse or circuit breaker should be fitted in the power supply.

e.) No HF cable should be included in the cable harnesses. Laying connecting cables together with
cables which carry LF power or impulses is also to be avoided.

f.) Check the wiring carefully before switching on the unit, particularly that (UB+) and (GND) have not
been mixed up.

3.2 Operating instruction

3.2.1 Preparation

Switch on the aircraft power supply (check that the circuit breaker for the navigation system is set).

WARNING!
Do not switch on the control unit if engines or motors are being started up or shut down.

3.2.2 Switching on the control unit

a. Rotate the volume control clockwise and switch on the navigation system.

NOTE
System initialization takes place, i.e. data is transmitted between the control unit and
navigation receiver for the first 5 to 10 seconds after power on. The display flashes during
this period. After completion of the initialization, the mode which was set before power
off appears.

In all modes, disturbances of the navigation system are displayed in the form of fault
messages.

l E2 synthesizer failed, lock detect error

l E5 interface fault

A comprehensive description of the various modes follows the general operating instructions.

3.2.3 Test (self-test)

a. Press both keys IDT and MDE simultaneously. All segments of the LC display shall flash. At the
same time the VOR/LOC needle (vertical needle) of the connected display unit shall deflect halfway
and the VOR/LOC warning flag disappear from the field of view. The GS needle (horizontal needle)
of the connected display unit shall also be half deflected and the GS flag shall disappear from the
field of view.

DV 60511.03/.04 Issue 07/97 Page 3-3

 CU 5301 - ( )

3.2.4 VOR mode

1. Set the frequency of the required VOR station.

2. To monitor the identification signal, press the IDT key (ON appears briefly in the bottom line of the
LC display). Monitor the identification signal and compare it with the set identification signal of the
required VOR station. Adjust the volume using the VOL control.

3. If an evaluable VOR signal enables a safe bearing to be established, the vertical needle deflects
and the VOR/LOC flag disappears from the field of view.

4. Rotate the omnibearing selector (OBS) on the display unit until the TO/FROM display indicates TO
and the vertical needle has settled in the mid position. The heading indication then indicates the
magnetic course to the VOR station.

5. Course deviations during the approach are indicated in the direction of correction by the vertical
needle (course correction in the direction of the needle deflection).

6. When overflying the VOR station, the TO/FROM display moves from TO to FROM. If the flight is
continued on the same heading, the course indication shows the magnetic position line of the VOR
station which the aircraft is approaching, with the vertical needle in the mid position.

3.2.5 Monitoring flight and weather information

1. Press the IDT key. The word OFF appears briefly in the bottom line of the LC display. Identification
transmissions are faded out.

2. The fading out of the VOR indication signal means that flight and weather information can now be
monitored.

3. Press the IDT key again. The word ON appears briefly in the display. The identification signal can
now be monitored.

3.2.6 LOC mode

1. Set the frequency of the required localizer.

2. Switch on the VOR identification (press the IDT key, ON appears briefly in the display). Monitor the
Morse identification signal and compare it with the set identification signal of the required localizer.

3. The vertical needle (command needle) deflects during the approach to the localizer in the direction
in which the course is to be corrected in order to obtain the correct landing course. A mid position
of the needle means that the aircraft is on the correct line for landing.

Page 3-4 DV 60511.03/.04 Issue 07/97

 CU 5301 - ( )

3.2.7 GS mode with the RN 3320 - (1)

1. Set the frequency of the localizer.

2. Switch on the VOR identification (press the IDT key, ON appears briefly in the display). Monitor the
Morse identification signal and compare it with the set identification signal.

3. If a glidepath signal of sufficient strength is present, the GS warning flag disappears from the field
of view.

4. The GS needle (horizontal command needle) deflects during the approach in the direction in which
the flight level has to be corrected in order to obtain the specified glidepath. A mid position of the
needle means that the aircraft is on the glidepath.

3.3 Operation of the various modes

The navigation system contains various functions which are performed under three modes. The
individual modes are selected by pressing the MDE key on the control unit.

Frequency setting mode

Display of the active frequency in the top line. The bottom line is switched off. The active

3.5.1 Calling up the service mode

Press and hold the MDE key whilst the unit is being switched on and wait until the version number is
displayed. As long as the MDE key is held pressed, the following is shown in the top line.

On the left, two positions of the version number of the navigation receiver.
Right two positions of the version number of the control unit.

Release the MDE key. FrCh appears in the top line and OFF or ON in the bottom line.

NOTE

In the service mode the navigation receiver is not ready for operation.

The parameters are selected in stages in the service mode by pressing the MDE key.

Enabling the frequency setting (channel mode only)

Select the FrCh parameter using the MDE key. The following characters are displayed.

Top line FrCh

Bottom line ON or OFF

Select the required setting using the kHz switch and press the STO key to store the selection.

OFF= Frequency setting not possible. The navigation receiver can only operate on
the frequencies stored in the individual channels.
ON= Frequency setting possible (standard setting).

Enabling frequency storage

Select the ChSt parameter using the MDE key. The following characters are displayed.

Top line ChSt

Bottom line ON or OFF

Select the required setting using the kHz switch and press the STO key to store the selection.

OFF= It is not possible to store the frequencies in the individual channels. The
navigation receiver can only operate on the already stored frequency when
in the channel mode.
ON= Storage of frequency in the individual channels is possible (standard setting).

Delete stored frequency

Select the dEL parameter using the MDE key. The following characters are displayed.

Top line dEL

Bottom line Channel number

Using the kHz (single steps) and MHz (steps of ten) switches, select the channel to be deleted. Press
the STO key to delete the stored frequency. The frequency set in channel 1 cannot be deleted, but
can only be overwritten by another frequency.

Entry of password to lock the equipment configuration

Select the COdE parameter using the MDE key. The following characters are displayed.

Top line COdE

Bottom line 0000 or valid code after it has been set

Using the MHz switch, select the character (selected character flashes) and then set the characters
using the kHz switch. Store the numerical code by pressing the STO key.

NOTE
Immediately a password is given, 0000 is displayed in the bottom LC display when the
service mode is called up. The numerical code must then by entered using the MHz and
kHz switches and the STO key pressed. The service mode can only be entered if the
correct numerical code is given. If the password is changed or deleted, the function code
is to be called up in the service mode using the old password. Then enter the new
numerical code (new password) or 0000 (delete password). Press the STO key to store
the numerical code.

Ending the service mode

To end the service mode, switch off the navigation system at the control unit.

3.6 Deletion of all stored frequencies in the storage channels

Press and hold the IDT and MDE keys whilst switching on the unit. All the stored frequencies in the
storage channels are deleted, with the exception of channel 01.

3.7 Safety precautions

l Switch off the control unit before starting or shutting down engines !

l The NAV system should be protected from the aircraft power supply by its own 1 A
circuit breaker.

l Warning! Reception is only possible when there is a quasi-optical sight to the VOR
station.

l When the warning flag in the display unit appears, the course deviation needle is in
the mid position, it must then not be used in the continuing flight !

l Warning! When flying with the autopilot locked on to VOR, the OBS must not be
rotated because any change in the off-course needle is followed by the autopilot !

l If the off-course needle instrument fails, no warning flag appears. Check the off-
course needle by activating the TEST function. The off-course needle must deflect
halfway. Important to check before approach to landing !

l During approaches on the back beam, a needle deflection no longer corresponds to

a command indication. In this special case, course corrections must be made
opposite to the needle deflection !

l When overflying VOR stations a cone of silence of ± 45° occurs in which the warning
flag appears and the off-course needle stays in the mid position.

l When flying over mountains the off-course needle may deviate about the mid position
(reflections) when approaching or leaving VOR stations. VOR stations produce
substantially more stable indications under these conditions.

l EMC note: If the antennas of RT equipment and the navigation receiver are not
sufficiently decoupled, it is possible that the warning flag may appear during trans-
mission or the off-course needle may deflect. Inadequate decoupling is possible with
airframes made of wood or synthetic materials or where the antennas are mounted
close together.
