GENERAL INFORMATION

1.1 INTRODUCTION

This manual contains information relative to the physical, mechanical, and electrical characteris-

tics and installation procedures for the KN 62/62A/64 DME. The KN 64 has lower output power

than the KN 62/62A. The KN 64 is not TSO’ed.

1.2 EQUIPMENT DESCRIPTION

The KN 62/62A/64 is a panel mounted, 200 channel DME employing the latest state of the art sol-

id-state transmitter and large scale integrated circuit (LSI) technology. All tuning is done electron-

ically using a single crystal, digital, frequency synthesizer. The unit has a gas discharge display

that simultaneously indicates range, speed, and time-to-station or range and frequency. An auto-

matic dimming circuit adjusts the brightness of the display to compensate for changes in ambient

light level.

Range, speed, and time-to-station are measured digitally, using two LSI

s. Two other LSI circuits

are employed in the digital frequency synthesizer and display circuitry.

The KN 62/62A/64 can be channeled internally using its own frequency selection knobs or exter-

nally from any of the common NAV receiver codes.

The KN 62/62A/64 is an extremely compact DME requiring only 1.3 inches of panel height. It can

be operated with any DC input from 11 to 33 volts. Power consumption is only 15 watts at any

input voltage; thus, forced air cooling is

not required.
