3.3.2.4.2 Baro Correction Potentiometer
The GNS 480 can receive baro correction from an external potentiometer. This check verifies that the
GNS 480 is receiving baro correction data from the altimeter. Ensure that the GNS 480 is turned on. If
the following steps do not perform correctly, check the electrical connections and configuration setup.
1.
Check the baro correction using the Configuration page. This page is accessed by pressing the
FN
key twice, causing the
SYS
smart key to be displayed. The
SYS
smart key is then pressed, followed
by the
CNFG
smart key, if necessary. The baro correction is the first item on the list (Baro
Correct.).
2.
Verify that the baro correction decodes properly from 28.10 to 31.00 "Hg (952 to 1050 mB). The
value displayed on the GNS 480 should be within
±
0.03 "Hg (±1 mB) of the altimeter setting.
3.3.2.4.3 Air Data Computer, Altitude Encoder and Fuel Air/Data Computer
The GNS 480 can receive altitude or fuel/air data from an external source. This check verifies that the
GNS 480 is receiving data from these units. Ensure that the GNS 480 and MX20 are turned on and in
normal mode. If the following steps do not perform correctly, check the electrical connections and
configuration setup.
NOTE
For dual GNS 480 installations, this check must be performed for each GNS 480. While
this check is carried out, the other GNS 480 must be turned off.
3.
Press the
MAP
bezel key and use the large, outer knob to select MAP 2.
4.
Press the
MENU/ENTER
key to display the line select key functions, and repeatedly press the
MORE
line select key until the
NAV DATA
line select key legend is displayed.
5.
Press the
NAV DATA
line select key to display nav data in the window on the left.
6.
The ALT field will display the baro-corrected altitude. If the ALT field is not displayed, press the
SEL DATA
line select key and use the small, inner knob to select the ALT field for display and
press
MENU/ENTER
when the appropriate field is selected. Verify that this altitude value is not
dashed out, and that the altitude agrees with the altimeter (
±
125 ft).
NOTE
The baro-correction that is set on the altimeter and GNS 480 must be the same in order
for the displayed altitude values to agree.
7.
If fuel data is being provided to the GNS 480, press the
MENU/ENTER
key to display the line select
key functions, and repeatedly press the
MORE
line select key until the
NAV DATA
line select key
legend is displayed.
