2.1 GENERAL
INFORMATION
This section contains interconnect diagrams, mounting dimensions and other information
pertaining to the installation of the MD32 Remote Magnetometer. After installation of cabling
and before installation of the equipment, ensure that power is applied only to the appropriate
pins.

2.3 EQUIPMENT
LOCATION
To support the ease of installation, the MD32 is designed to be capable of mounting in any
orientation. Using four (4) #4 or #6 machine screws, secure the baseplate of the unit to a
secure/stable portion of the airframe. The MD32 Remote Magnetometer is recommended to be
installed in the wing or similar location away from large concentrations of ferrous materials or
potential electromagnetic interference to produce the most accurate results.
2.4 LIMITATIONS
The MD32 Remote Magnetometer is certified to TSO-C6e as part of a system (i.e. “incomplete
system”). It must be installed in conjunction with an MD302 Standby Attitude Module, MCIA part
number 6420302-( ), to provide complete heading functionality. The MD302 must have software
version 1.1.0 or higher installed to support the function of the MD32. Limitations associated with
accuracy and performance of the heading indication are listed in Section 1.2.
The conditions and tests for TSO approval of this article are minimum performance standards.
Those installing this article, either on or within a specific type or class of aircraft must determine
that the aircraft installation conditions are within the TSO standards which include any accepted
integrated non-TSO functions. TSO articles and any accepted integrated non-TSO function(s)
must have separate approval for installation in an aircraft. The article may be installed only
according to 14 CFR part 43 or the applicable airworthiness requirements. This is an incomplete
system intended to provide the following functions: magnetic direction sensing data presented to
an MD302 Standby Attitude Module.
The TSO requires that the article must meet the minimum performance specifications (MPS)
within SAE/AS8013 Revision A. The MD32 complies with the requirements of Sections 4 and 5
of AS8013A. Performance requirements were evaluated using a system comprised of the MD32
and the MD302, demonstrating that the MD32 provided sufficiently accurate sensor data. The
