INS 429 INTEGRATED NAVIGATION SYSTEM
INSTALLATION AND OPERATOR’S MANUAL
3.1.3 User Controls
Refer to Figure 1: Unit Controls. The user controls consist of two sets of concentric rotary knobs. The set
on the left control functions on the left side of the display and the set on the right control the functions on
the right side of the display. Both sets of knobs contain three parts, the inner knob (the small one) the outer
knob (the large one) and a momentary push button (the end of the small knob).
3.1.3.1 Turning the unit on/off
To turn the unit on, momentarily press the left hand inner knob. The unit will go through a short
initialization routine at start up and then begin operation at the same settings that were loaded at the last
power down. To turn the unit off, press and hold the left inner knob for three seconds.
3.1.3.2 Setting Active and Standby Frequency
The knob functions of the left hand set are as follow; the inner knob will change the frequency by KHz or
the numbers to the right of the decimal point (108.15) in 50kHz increments. The outer knob will change the
frequency by MHz or the numbers to the left of the decimal point (108.15) in 1 MHz increments. Only the
frequency in the standby position will change. The standby frequency is displayed at the bottom on the left
side of the display and is identified by the letter “S” to the left of the frequency (S108.15). To load the
standby frequency in to the active position, momentarily press on the inner knob. This will swap the
standby frequency with the active frequency. The active frequency is identified by the letter “A” at the left
of the frequency display (A108.15). If the external inputs are active (configured in the setup pages see
section 3.2.1.3 on pg. 13) “EXT” will appear in the standby frequency position while rotating the outer
knob. “EXT” is located between “117.XX” and “108.XX”.
”EXT” stands for external as in external function. “EXT” can be loaded into the active display position by
momentarily pressing on the inner knob. When “EXT” is loaded into the action position the INS 429 will
display CDI and VDI information from an external receiver source such as an external GPS or an external
NAV.
3.1.3.3 Setting a Bearing
The knob functions on the right side of the unit are as follow; the inner knob changes the bearing display by
1° increments. The outer knob changes the bearing display by 10° increments.
3.1.3.4 To/From Swap and Auto Radial Centering
When “VOR” is displayed in the mode display, momentarily pressing the inner right knob will change the
displayed bearing to the 180° reciprocal. Pressing and holding the inner knob for three seconds will change
the bearing to the centered “FROM” radial of the received VOR station.
