The CNX80 includes a self test that is executed every time the unit is turned on that checks the unit
operation as well as other internal functions. Verify that the unit does not display a failure indication when
turned on.
NOTE
The CNX80 must be properly configured prior to performing system checkouts. When
configured correctly, the CNX80 will annunciate failures that are detected with interfacing
systems when it is first turned on. Any annunciated failures should be corrected prior to
proceeding with the ground checks.
3.3.2.1 GPS Navigation Checkout
Switch on the CNX80 in the normal mode to complete this part of the checkout – this is accomplished by
either exiting the Ground Maintenance Mode or by turning the CNX80 OFF and then turning it back ON.
The CNX80 requires a “seed” position, time, and date for the GPS sensor to know which satellites to look
for. Once this information is entered it will be saved and updated automatically, so it will not be necessary
to re-enter the information at every start-up. If the CNX80 is moved a great distance without being turned
on, the seed position may have to be re-entered.
NOTE
This checkout must be completed with the aircraft moved away from hangars and other
structures that may obstruct the view of the satellites.
3.3.2.1.1 Initial Power-Up
The first time the CNX80 is used after it is installed, the GPS seed position, UTC time and date must be
entered. Following the display of the main start-up screen, the screen shown in Figure 3-21 will be
displayed for 10 seconds. Press the
CHG smart key to allow the position to be edited. The latitude
(degrees) will be highlighted. Use the large, outer knob to select the next or previous editable data field and
turn the small, inner knob to change the current setting. When the position, UTC time and date have been
entered, press the
MENU/ENTER key to accept the entries. The Master GPS Reset must be set to ‘No’.
NOTE
The latitude and longitude must be within one degree of the actual position, and the UTC
time (not local time) must be within one minute. If position, time and date are not entered
correctly, GPS acquisition may take up to 20 minutes.
