AP Offset Input:
Autopilot Offset.................................For autopilots that use a signal common that is not airframe
ground. Many use 5Vdc (relative to airframe) as the heading
bug signal common. In these cases, connect the autopilot signal
common to the GDC31 offset input pin, P1-19.
Maximum Input Level ..................7 volts peak (5Vrms)
Load: ............................................10K
Annunciator Output:
GPS Coupled......................................Normally Open relay contacts configured as a SPST switch
intended to control an external GPS mode annunciator. The

cycles the contacts between open and closed at a 1 Hz rate if
steering data is invalid. Closed contacts connect pins P1-24 and
P1-12.
Max current:.......................................250mA
Flag Input:
