4.8 VOR/ILS INDICATOR (GNS 530 ONLY)
4.8.1
VOR/ILS Indicator Function
NOTE
Because the GNS 530 includes a “CDI” button that performs switching between GPS and VOR/ILS on a
remote indicator, it is seldom necessary to use these outputs to drive an indicator. It is only necessary when
it is desired for a separate indicator to display VOR/ILS deviation full-time (regardless of the “CDI” button
status).
The VOR/ILS indicator displays both lateral and vertical, To/From indications, lateral and vertical flags and
superflags. GNS 530 connector 5006 always outputs the VOR/Localizer/Glideslope navigation
information. The VOR/ILS pins on GNS 530 connector 5006 are used to drive an indicator that displays
VOR/ILS information at all times, regardless of the CDI selection on the GNS 530.
VOR/LOC COMPOSITE OUT is a standard VOR/Localizer Composite output signal which may be used to
drive the Left/Right, TO/FROM, and Flag indications of certain navigation indicators that contain an
internal converter.
The ILS ENERGIZE output will go low when the VLOC frequency is channeled to a localizer channel.

The output supplies not less than 500 mA on a 28 volt system and 250 mA on a 14 volt system with the
output voltage not less than (AIRCRAFT POWER - 3 V
DC
) when the flag is to be OUT OF VIEW. The
output voltage with respect to ground is less than 3 V
DC
when the flag is to be IN VIEW.
