Eventide ARGUS 5000 - Page 219

Navigation Information Source Detail
This page shows how to connect the output of a GPS or other navigation receiver to
the Argus, and includes pin connections for many popular models. If the pinout you
need is not on this drawing, you will need to refer to the manual for the product in
K^z question. Because Eventide has no control over other manufacturer's products, we
strongly recommend that you confirm this information before relying on it. Update
information, if available, will be on our world wide web "page"
http://www.eventide.com. If you need information on models not listed here, or can
provide such information to help your fellow installers, please check this source, or
email update information to "argus@eventide.com."
Some navigation receivers provide output in ARINC 419/ARINC 429 format. To use
such a receiver with the Argus, the Eventide ARINC Adapter must be used, and
installation data provided with that adapter should be referenced.
The majority of GPS and other nav receivers have RS232 or RS422 data outputs. The
Argus is compatible with both. The DATA HI and DATA LO lines must be connected
to the Argus input. The Argus input is optically isolated, and the DATA LO MUST
i j be connected to the proper pin on the Argus. You cannot rely on "aircraft ground" for
a data return. We recommend using 2-conductor shielded cable for noise suppression,
and grounding the shield at the source end.
Some receivers require RTS and CTS to be connected to each other at the receiver.
If this is not done, no data will be output.
The nav receiver connection is the most critical because the Argus cannot provide a
map without this data. There is troubleshooting information in Appendix 5 and also
in the troubleshooting portion of this section. The Argus provides several helpful
diagnostic messages to assist in case of any problem.
