airplane heading. A higher error will impact attitude accuracy output primarily under high pitch or roll
angle conditions.
3.6.7.3 KG 71EXP Cooling Considerations
The KG 71EXP does not require forced air-cooling. A minimum separation distance of 1 inch (25.4 mm)
around the top and sides of the unit is recommended to allow for air movement and cooling of the unit.
3.6.8 KMG 7010/MD32 Installation Considerations
3.6.8.1 KMG 7010/MD32 Location
The KMG 7010/MD32 must be mounted to a rigid portion of the airplane structure in a location where
the dynamic change in local attitude to the KMG 7010/MD32 is minimized (should not exceed 1 degree of
movement); it is recommended to utilize a previously installed magnetometer location for mounting the
KMG 7010/MD32. When mounted, the three KMG 7010/MD32 primary axes must be parallel within ±5
degrees of each of the longitudinal, lateral and vertical axes of the level airplane.
The KMG 7010/MD32 should be located as far as possible from all sources of magnetic disturbance or
ferrous materials such as nickel, iron, steel, cobalt or magnetic field inducing wire.
3.6.8.2 KMG 7010/MD32 Orientation
Pitch and roll offsets for the KMG 7010/MD32 must be measured by the technician during installation
and stored into the KG 71EXP Non-Volatile Memory (NVM) during configuration. The technician must
align the KMG 7010/MD32 with the airplane’s X-axis; error in this alignment will impact heading accuracy
indication. The maximum acceptable installation error for the KMG 7010/MD32 is ±5.0 degrees.
NOTE
IF A LEGACY BENDIXKING COMPASS SYSTEM, SUCH AS THE KCS 55A, IS REPLACED BY THE
XVUE TOUCH SYSTEM, THE EXISTING WIRING FOR FLUX VALVE DETECTOR, KMT 112, MAY
BE REUSED IF THE EXISTING WIRING MEETS THE SAME SHIELDING AND EMI
TERMINATION REQUIREMENTS FOR THE KMG 7010/MD32. THE KMT 112 INSTALLATION
LOCATION MAY ALSO BE ACCEPTABLE FOR INSTALLATION OF THE KMG 7010/MD32.
NOTE
DO NOT INSTALL THE MAGNETOMETER IN A STORAGE AREA, SUCH AS A
COMPARTMENT, AS THESE AREAS MAY HAVE VARYING MAGNETIC FIELDS DEPENDING
ON WHAT IS BEING STORED.
NOTE
USE A DIGITAL INCLINOMETER TO MEASURE ACTUAL AIRPLANE PITCH AND ROLL
ATTITUDE DURING SYSTEM INSTALLATION.
