2 EQUIPMENT INSTALLATION

2.1 PRIMARY SYSTEM ELEMENTS

2.1.1 OB3100-001 & -002 Installation Kit (Rack & System Connectors)

The rack is supplied PARTIALLY-ASSEMBLED for ease of installation. The connector housings and

connector contacts are supplied as bagged up items, as part of the kit. The rack should be fixed into

position using the mounting points on the rack - please see mechanical drawing herein for details of

positioning.

2.1.2 OB3001-00X Sentinel

The connections between the Sentinel or any other interconnecting equipment should be made with

Raychem 55, 24AWG screened twisted pairs / triples and co-axial cables, full details of which are on

the installation drawings herein.

When considering the mounting position of the OB3001-009 Sentinel, it is also important to appreciate

that a 300mm (12-inch) CLEARANCE gap should be made available in front of the unit. This will

allow adequate room to install and remove the Sentinel unit in and out of the rack without interfering

with other equipment.

2.1.3 Compact Flash Cards

The Compact Flash Cards are located behind the spring shut door on the bezel.

Sentinel units are delivered with one (1) OB3111-XXX Primary Compact Flash Card that contains the

Operating Software and standard mapping. The part number extension “XXX” for the primary

Compact Flash cards will allow different versions of software and database region coverage to be

distinguished. This information is also marked directly on the card. Each database region is identified

by a three-letter code as follows:

ATI = Atlantic International (Europe, Africa, Middle East, Continental Asia)

PAI = Pacific International (Middle East, Asia, Australia/New Zealand)

AMR = Americas (Canada, USA, Mexico, Central and South America)

11002-12405 Rev 2 Page 9 of 75

Figure 2-1 Americas (AMR) Database Region Coverage

Figure 2-2 Europe Middle East & Africa (ATI) Database Region Coverage

11002-12405 Rev 2 Page 10 of 75

Figure 2-3 Pacific International (PAI) Database Region Coverage

Depending on customer requirements, one or two Auxiliary Compact Flash (OB3222-XXX) cards may

also be required. These auxiliary compact flash cards contain additional mapping that may have been

customised to meet the needs of a particular customer, and they should therefore be fitted in units that

will be delivered to that customer. The part number extension “XXX” for the auxiliary compact flash

cards identifies a specific combination of loaded data that will have been agreed at the time the order

was placed.

2.2 CONTROLLING DEVICES

Remote-mount variant of Sentinel (OB3000-009) is intended for installation remote from the cockpit

and it must be provided with control inputs from another device that is within easy reach of the crew.

Those Sentinel variants that have a built-in screen also have a built-in joystick and bezel-mounted

keys to control the unit. They do not require a separate controlling device but they can be used with

one if it is convenient.

NOTE: Only ONE of the external controlling devices can be connected directly to the Sentinel

at any one time.

The installer should take reasonable steps to ensure that keyboards and hand remote controllers can

be stowed safely, and that no equipment or cabling blocks exits or otherwise interferes with safe

access to crew stations.

2.2.1 OB1108-005 Hand Remote Controller

The Hand Remote Controller is pre-manufactured with an umbilical cord and a 7 Way MIL-C-26482

socket. The only method of connecting the Hand Remote Controller is via a suitable connector wired

11002-12405 Rev 2 Page 11 of 75

to the rear of the Sentinel unit. The Hand Remote Controller draws its power from the Sentinel unit.

The connections to the MIL-C-26482 connector on the end of the umbilical cord are as follows:

Hand Remote Pin Description Sentinel Unit Pin

B 0V 56

D Keyboard Clock 73

E Keyboard Data 74

G +12V 55

2.2.2 OB1302-003 and OB1305-001 Keyboard

There are two versions of QWERTY keyboard: the standard OB1302-003 and the backlit OB1305-

001. The keyboard is pre-manufactured with an umbilical cord and a 7 way MIL-C-26482. The only

method of connecting the keyboard is via a suitable connector wired to the rear of the Sentinel unit.

The keyboard draws its power from the Sentinel unit. The connections to the MIL-C-26482 connector

on the end of the umbilical cord are as follows:

Keyboard Pin Description Sentinel Unit Pin

B 0V 56

D Keyboard Clock 73

E Keyboard Data 74

F +5V 54

The F1 to F6 keys, arrow keys, and “, .” keys on the QWERTY keyboards act as the bezel keys, as

shown on Figure 2-4 (page 14).

2.2.3 Third Party Displays with Standard Keyboard Interface

Some third part display manufacturers have created displays that can be used to display the video

imagery from Sentinel. Some third party displays also incorporate a joystick and keys on the bezel

aligned with the Sentinel on-screen labels. In these cases, the key and joystick data from the third

party display will be formatted as a keyboard device, and should be connected to OV, +5V, Keyboard

Clock and Keyboard Data lines on Sentinel.

2.2.4 Skyquest AVDU Displays with Full Touch-Screen Support

The AVDU-1628 display available from Skyquest includes an interface that allows its touch-screen to

control a remote Sentinel (OB3000-009) without the need for separate bezel keys. The Skyquest

display sends the location of the finger touch point to the Sentinel over a bidirectional RS422 serial

data connection. Connection details as follows:

11002-12405 Rev 2 Page 12 of 75

Sentinel Pin (see page 29)

AVDU Remote Connector RS422 Channel 1 RS422 Channel 2

RS422 + (input) 30 50

RS422 + (output) 10 69

RS422 - (output) 11 70

RS422 GND 12

OR

72

The Sentinel unit will need to be configured to respond to the data from the touch-screen - see section

3.4.5 for details. Since the Sentinel will not recognize the touch-screen interface until it has been

configured, you will need to use a standard keyboard, hand remote, or USB keyboard to do the initial

configuration.

Once the touch-screen interface has been enabled, you will also be able to select whether to have an

on-screen full text keyboard pop up whenever text needs to be entered. This on-screen keyboard can

be configured to be laid out in the same common arrangements as for separate keyboards – see 2.2.6

below.

2.2.5 USB Keyboards

Sentinel will recognize and respond to a USB keyboard plugged into the USB socket on the front of

the unit. This can be helpful for installers when setting up a unit for the first time,(for example when

configuring a Sentinel to work with a touch—screen display), but it is not intended to be used as the

main means to control Sentinel in flight. The huge variety of USB keyboards makes it impossible to

verify the integrity of this interface with all possible variants, and the certification tests conducted on

Sentinel did not assume that a USB keyboard would be used in flight. If the installer chooses to

supply a USB keyboard for use with Sentinel, then it is entirely the installer’s responsibility to ensure

that the keyboard works correctly and the installation meets all the necessary safety requirements.

Sentinel will not respond to USB mice.

2.2.6 Using and Configuring Keyboards

If Sentinel is connected to a full alphanumeric keyboard then that keyboard can be used for text entry

and also to control the map using keyboard keys that are equivalent to the keys on the Sentinel itself.

Figure 2-4 shows the keys on common keyboards that are equivalent to the front bezel keys used by

Sentinel: The numbers and letters on the keyboard can also be used for easy entry of information

when conducting database searches or entering flight plans.

Sentinel can be configured to recognize three different layouts of keys on alphanumeric keyboards,

according to the common conventions in the USA, UK, or France.

From the Install Menu, select UNIT CONFIG. On the Unit Config menu, use the joystick (or equivalent

keys) to move the highlighted block down to Keyboard Layout, and across to the current selection.

Move the jotstick up or down to select the desired layout, and then press SAVE & EXIT.

Figure 2-6 Unit Config Page

The “Default” option selects the UK keyboard if the unit has an ATI database, and a US layout if the

unit has a AMR or PAI database. You should select “US” layout if you are using the OB1305-001

backlit keyboard, or “UK” if you are using the OB1302-003 keyboard.

2.3 SENTINEL AS A CONTROLLING DEVICE FOR OBSERVER

If the INT/EXT switch is set to EXT, then Sentinel display variants (OB3001-001, -002, -003, -004) can

display the video image sent by a OB2101-003 Mk III Observer processor and can also control the

connected Observer processor through the Sentinel keys and joystick. On this type of installation,

connect the Observer VGA output to the Sentinel VGA input, and connect the Sentinel keyboard lines

to an available keyboard input on the Observer installation – for example, see section 2.10.2 below.

NOTE: Version 1.31 or earlier firmware in the Observer Control Panel (OB2106-00X) will not

recognize the presence of a Sentinel unless the Sentinel is switched on and in “EXT” mode

when the Control Panel is powering up. Later versions of Control Panel firmware allow the

Control Panel to recognize the Sentinel even if it is switched on after the Observer system.

If the Sentinel Power Sense and Power Control lines are also connected to the Observer system, then

the Sentinel power switch will also power up and shut down the Observer system.

2.4 INSTALLATION LOCATION & MOUNTING

Installers should follow the guidance of the aircraft maintenance manual and Appendix 5 of FAA AC

20-138A. Locations chosen for units, cabling, antennas, and controlling devices must not:

Restrict access to or view of any control, display or indicator;

11002-12405 Rev 2 Page 15 of 75

Restrict movement of the flight controls;

Interfere with the pilot’s vision along the flight path; or

Restrict pilot/passenger egress.

Sentinel is suitable for mounting in cabin or avionics bay where the pressure altitude will not exceed

25,000ft (i.e.: a pressurized location if the aircraft service ceiling exceeds 25,000 ft) and where

temperatures are within the limits listed in section 8.

We recommend that the location of displays is assessed carefully to ensure that there is no glare,

distraction or reflections for flight crew even if they are not the intended users.

2.4.1 Location – Panel Mounted Sentinel Variants (OB3001-001, -002, -003, -004)

Plan a location on the aircraft panel so that the unit is plainly visible to the intended user(s) and the

user has complete access to all front panel controls. The display should be located in a position such

that the eyes of the intended user are within a volume +/- 45 either side of the normal to the display

side-to-side, and +/- 25 of the normal to the display up-and-down. Ensure that there is adequate

depth behind the panel for the mounting rack, all connectors and cabling, and clearance for air

circulation (see 1.1.6). Also, ensure that the mounting location is not close to high heat sources.

Prepare the rack cabling and connectors using the pin out and wiring information provided in this

document (section 2.7, Figure 6-1, Figure 6-6, and Figure 6-7).

The Panel mount variants of Sentinel are installed in a rack in the instrument panel of the aircraft. The

total space required for the Sentinel can be determined from section 6. Refer to section 6 for the

panel cutout dimensions. Mark and cut the opening accordingly. Clean all mounting surfaces before

installing the rack to ensure a good electrical bond to the airframe. The rack is secured to the

instrument panel and airframe with ten screws, five on each side. The surrounding aircraft structure

must be strong enough to carry the loads caused by normal use and also contain the unit adequately

during extreme maneuvers, rough landings and crash situations.

To install the unit, slide the Sentinel into its rack, press on the front of the Sentinel with one hand, and

use a 3/32" Allen wrench to engage the locking bar pawl (clockwise rotation) and tighten. The locking

bar pawl access hole is located behind the door located on the bezel.

2.4.2 Location – Remote Mounted Sentinel (OB3001-009)

The Remote Sentinel unit and its install rack should be installed onto a strong, firm horizontal surface

able to carry loads during normal flight and crash.

There is no need for the remote Sentinel unit to be accessible to the crew in flight, but the crew should

be provided with the means to switch the system on and off. This can be achieved with a switch

accessible from their normal seated position that grounds the Power Control line (pin 59) with reverse

11002-12405 Rev 2 Page 16 of 75

polarity protection. Alternatively, a Panel Mounted Sentinel variant as shown in section 0 will also

control a remote Sentinel. The crew will also need a compatible display, and a means of controlling

the Sentinel such as one of the controlling devices listed here (section 2.2). Some third party displays

have control keys built into the bezel, and some replicate the keys using touch-screen areas

corresponding to the on-screen key labels.

Sentinel 1.02 software and above can be configured to drive either landscape-oriented or portrait-

oriented external displays. When configured for portrait-oriented installations, the screen imagery is

arranged appropriately – see Figure 2-7. The screen layout can be configured through the Install

menu – see 2.5.13 Portrait-Oriented Screen.

Figure 2-7 Portrait and Landscape-Oriented Screens

The installer should take reasonable steps to ensure that keyboards and hand remote controllers can

be stowed safely, and that no equipment or cabling blocks exits or otherwise interferes with safe

access to crew stations.

When considering the mounting position of the OB3001-009 Sentinel, it is also important to appreciate

that a 300mm (12-inch) CLEARANCE gap should be made available in front of the unit. This will

allow adequate room to install and remove the Sentinel unit in and out of the rack without interfering

with other equipment.

To install the unit, slide the Sentinel into its rack, press on the front of the Sentinel with one hand, and

use a 3/32" Allen wrench to engage the locking bar pawl (clockwise rotation) and tighten. The locking

11002-12405 Rev 2 Page 17 of 75

bar pawl access hole is located behind the door located on the bezel and covering the Compact Flash

and USB sockets.

2.4.3 Power

Sentinel is not designed to operate during engine cranking. It is recommended that the Sentinel is

powered from the avionics bus or other supply that is energised after engine start, and is protected by

a 5A @28V circuit breaker.

Sentinel will operate with an input voltage of 10 to 32 VDC; however, the panel key backlighting must

be +5 VDC or +28 VDC depending on the aircraft lighting bus.

The Sentinel uses one 78 way high density D type connector to interface between the unit and the

aircraft. Refer to section 2.7 for detailed pin out information for the 78 way D type connector.

If it is intended that a panel-mounted Sentinel should control another unit (such as an Observer or

remote Sentinel) then both systems must be operating on the same power bus.

The installing facility will supply and fabricate all external cables. The required connectors for the

Sentinel processor are supplied as part of the installation kit. Installers intending to connect

keyboards and other controlling devices will need to source suitable connectors.

The length and routing of the external cables must be carefully planned before attempting the actual

installation. Avoid sharp bends or locating the cable near aircraft control cables. All video cables

should be routed particularly carefully to ensure that the cross sectional area of the cables are not

deformed or compressed as this will affect the overall impedance of the cable and can effect the video

quality.

The cables should be of a length to allow for a “maintenance loop”. That is, the length should be

adequate to access and extend the connectors for future maintenance purposes. Excess cabling

should be secured and stowed by tie-wrapping or other such means, until such maintenance is

required.

The cables should be supported firmly enough to prevent movement. They should be carefully

protected wherever one may chafe against another or against some other object. Extra protection

should be provided in all locations where the cables may be subject to abuse. Shields on shielded

wires should be terminated only at the Sentinel end unless otherwise shown on pages 32, 33 and 34.

Avoid routing cabling near high noise and high power sources such as RF transmitters and strobe

power lines.

11002-12405 Rev 2 Page 18 of 75

2.5 EQUIPMENT FEATURES & INTERFACES

Sentinel has a wide range of capabilities to help pilots and other aircrew. Many of these features

depend on data interfaces with other equipment.

2.5.1 Video Output

The Mod 0 build standard of Panel Mount Sentinels (OB3001-001, -002, -003, -004) do not offer video

output functionality.

The Remote Processor variant of Sentinel (OB3001-009), and Mod 1 Panel Mount variants, provide

imagery to an external display in a 640 x 480 pixel VGA format.

2.5.2 Video Input

The Display/Processor variants of Sentinel (OB3001-001, -002, -003, -004) can display 640 x 480

pixel VGA video signals when switched to “EXT”. This is the means to allow a Sentinel unit to act as a

display for Observer (see 2.3). If installers wish to use this capability as a means to show video

imagery from other sources, they should verify picture quality prior to installation since there is no

internal timing or gain adjustment for this signal.

If the “INT/EXT” switch is set to “EXT” when no video source is connected then the unit will display a

blue screen.

If a high-priority condition (eg: a traffic alert) arises on a unit that incorporates Mod 1 hardware with

software version 1.02 or above, then the software can override the INT/EXT switch temporarily to

show the alert data even if the switch is set to EXT. If this happens the INT and EXT enunciators will

flash while the alert is active and the display will revert to the external imagery once the alert condition

has been cleared.

CAUTION: On units without Mod 1 hardware and with version 1.01 software, the INT/EXT switch is

completely under user control and internally generated Sentinel information is NOT displayed when

the INT/EXT switch is in the EXT position,. This means that traffic, airspace, or terrain information will

not be shown at any time when the INT/EXT switch is set to select external imagery.

The remote Sentinel (OB3001-009) does not offer video input functionality.

2.5.3 COM and ARINC Ports

The Sentinel has two serial communication ports (COM1 and 2) and two ARINC 429 compatible

receive channels, along with one ARINC 429 transmit channel.

Each of the two serial communication ports, COM1 and COM2, is configurable as either RS232 or

RS422 and can be used to interface with equipment that uses a compatible serial communications

protocol – see 3.1.

11002-12405 Rev 2 Page 19 of 75

Either of the ARINC 429 receive channels may be configured to receive data from any of the

supported ARINC 429 devices (external GPS/FMS, Traffic receiver etc)- see section 3.2. The ARINC

429 transmit channel may also be configured to communicate with supported ARINC429 devices –

see section 3.3.

2.5.4 Position Source

Sentinel needs to know its geographic position in order to offer moving map functionality. It can either

use its internal 12-channel GPS receiver connected to a suitable externally mounted antenna (see

2.5.12), or be driven from an external GPS or FMS source (either ARINC429 or RS232 serial data). If

using the internal GPS receiver this must be selected in the Port Installation page within the INSTALL

menu of the system – see 3.1.

Any of the following can be used as an external position source:

Any panel mounted Bendix/King GPS system with a compatible antenna and suitable data

outputs.

Other GPS receivers that will provide any of the following outputs, NMEA0183 (4800 baud),

ARNAV R-30 (RS232 9600 baud).

A direct ARINC 429 input from an FMS or other device capable of sending the necessary data

over ARINC 429 (see section 7.1 for a list of labels used).

Note: if Sentinel is configured to use an external position source and its internal GPS engine is also

connected to a suitable antenna, then the unit will automatically use the internal GPS engine to

provide position information if the external position source fails. A yellow caution message is

displayed to warn the crew that Sentinel is no longer receiving data from the main navigation source.

CAUTION: The internal GPS engine is only suitable for use as an aid to VFR navigation. If the

aircraft’s principal navigation equipment allows IFR operations but suffers a failure, then

Sentinel’s ability to revert to the use of the internal GPS does not necessarily allow continued

safe operation under instrument flight rules. The installer must ensure that the flight crew are

provided with information that will allow them to respond appropriately in the light of the other

back-up equipment that may have been fitted.

2.5.5 Flight Plan Source

Users can enter flight plans directly into Sentinel, or flight plans can be received from an external

source. If the position source (see 2.5.4) is set to “Internal GPS” then only internal flight plans can be

displayed. If the position source is an external device, then the installer can choose whether to

configure Sentinel to receive external flight plans from the same device – see section 3.

11002-12405 Rev 2 Page 20 of 75

2.5.6 Position and Flight Plan Output

Sentinel can send GPS position data, in either NMEA0183 (4800 baud) or ARNAV R-30 (9600 baud),

from either or both serial COM ports. The appropriate output data type must be selected in the PORT

SETUP page within the INSTALL menu of the system. See section 3.1 of this manual for instructions

on configuring the COM ports.

2.5.7 Stormscope WX-500

The L-3 WX-500 Stormscope Lightning Detection Sensor, (“Stormscope” or “WX-500”) is a remote

weather mapping sensor which detects and processes lightning strikes. Sentinel can display storm

cell and lighting strike information sent by the WX-500, and can send configuration and control

information to the WX-500.

A Stormscope source may be connected to either of the two COM ports (RS232 supported). The

appropriate input data type must be selected in the Port Installation page within the INSTALL menu of

the system. See section 3.4.2 of this manual for instructions on setting up the Stormscope interface.

Since the Stormscope sensor is fixed to the aircraft structure, Sentinel can draw strikes and cells in

the correct position with respect to the aircraft on the “Lightning” display page even if no heading data

is available. However, if heading data is also available, then strikes can be overlaid onto the map

display and old strikes can be redrawn as the aircraft moves and turns. Depending on the installation

details, heading data may form part of the data stream sent by the Stormscope, or it may come from

AHRS (section 2.5.11), Airdata (section 2.5.10) or FMS.

2.5.8 Traffic (TCAS I / TAS / TIS)

Sentinel can display traffic icons overlaid on the map or on a de-cluttered Traffic page if supplied with

data from a compatible receiver. If the connected traffic receiver is able to process the traffic targets

and prioritize any that require the pilot’s particular attention, then Sentinel can automatically change to

the traffic display page and show high-priority targets in yellow whenever the receiver issues an alert.

See section 3.4.1 for guidance on setting up the interface with traffic receivers.

Sentinel can be used in conjunction with the following equipment:

Note 1: The Goodrich TRC497 and Goodrich TRC899 units also require separate control switches to

be installed to ground the “OPR/SBY” and “TEST” lines momentarily, in accordance with the BF

Goodrich installation instructions.

TCAS I and TAS use position data reported by other aircraft’s transponders to detect and track aircraft

in the vicinity. TIS (where available) uses a datalink service to provide the approximate position of up

to eight targets known to ground-based radar. The information it provides is somewhat less accurate

than TAS or TCAS I, but it does not rely on all aircraft having a functioning transponder.

Sentinel only provides display and control functions for the traffic signal receivers. It does not receive

the radio signals directly, and it relies on the connected traffic receivers to process and prioritize the

information before passing it to Sentinel. Sentinel does not provide voice alerts: these must be

provided by the traffic receiver.

2.5.9 Quicktune

When the Sentinel is interfaced with either the Bendix/King KX 155A or KX 165A Nav/Comm, it is

capable of providing QuickTune frequency selection for both VHF communications and navigation

frequencies. This allows the Sentinel to transfer a frequency automatically from an airport’s “MORE

INFO” window to the appropriate comm or nav standby frequency on a connected radio.

A Quicktune source may be connected to either of the two COM ports (RS232 is supported). The

appropriate input data type must be selected in the Port Installation page within the INSTALL menu of

the system. See section 3.4.3 of this manual for instructions on configuring the Quicktune interface.

2.5.10 Airdata

An airdata feed is a convenient way to support the following features

Current fuel flow is used on the flight planning pages to allow actual data to drive fuel usage

calculations

Airspeed display in on-screen information boxes (may also be available from FMS)

Altitude reported in on-screen information boxes, and also used to determine shading of

terrain for the Relative Terrain feature (may also be available from multiple sources that are

used order of priority – see 2.5.11).

Heading, used to orient the ownship icon on the map, and to orient data on the map when

“Heading Up” display mode is selected (may also be available from other sources)

Optional display of wind vector relative to the aircraft

Serial Airdata may be provided on any of the two COM ports (RS232 is supported). The appropriate

input data type must be selected in the Port Installation page within the INSTALL menu of the system.

See section 3.1 of this manual for instructions on configuring the Com ports.

Airdata may also be provided over ARINC429 – see section 7.4. Configuration of ARINC429 inputs is

described at section 3.2 of this manual.

2.5.11 Relative Terrain and Vertical Situation Display

Sentinel can compare the current aircraft altitude to its internal terrain database in order to highlight

terrain close to or above the aircraft on the moving map display. Users can also choose to have a

window at the bottom of the screen showing the vertical profile of the known terrain, obstacles and

airspace along the aircraft’s current projected track (see Figure 2-8). Note that the vertical situation

display window does not contain any information about the current vertical trend or the vertical

component of the flight plan.

Figure 2-8 Relative Terrain with Vertical Situation Display window

CAUTION: The relative terrain display and vertical situation display features are provided as

aids to VFR navigation only. They are intended to help direct the pilot’s attention towards

terrain that should be visible outside the aircraft. Sentinel is not an EGPWS and it does NOT

provide ground proximity warnings. Sentinel only highlights high terrain if the crew choose to

engage the relative terrain mode and / or vertical situation display window: it will not otherwise

provide any information about surrounding terrain. The terrain database is regarded as fit for

the purpose of providing assistance to VFR navigation, but it must not be relied upon for

terrain avoidance.

11002-12405 Rev 2 Page 23 of 75

Sentinel calculates the relative altitude of the aircraft with respect to the terrain using altitude data from

a variety of sources: high integrity sources are used in preference. Possible altitude sources are:

1. Corrected Barometric Altitude from FMS or AHRS (preferred)

2. Pressure Altitude from FMS or Airdata unit

3. External GPS Altitude from FMS

4. Internal GPS Altitude

The altitude value currently in use can be continuously displayed on the user-configurable on-screen

data windows.

CAUTION: GPS Altitude is substantially less accurate than GPS position. Altitude values

derived from GPS commonly vary by several hundred feet. Crews must not rely on any

displayed data derived from GPS altitude.

2.5.12 XM Weather

When Sentinel is interfaced with a Bendix/King KDR610 XM satellite weather receiver, it can display

graphical and textual weather data within the XM satellite coverage area. The KDR610 XM receiver

may be connected to either of the two COM ports (RS422 supported). The chosen port must be

configured for XM Weather – see section 3.4.4 of this manual for instructions on setting up the

KDR610 XM receiver interface.

2.5.13 Portrait-Oriented Screen

Sentinel can produce imagery suitable for either a landscape-oriented or a portrait-oriented screen

(see page 17). The default screen layout is for a landscape-oriented display. To configure Sentinel to

work with a portrait-oriented display, switch on the unit, select Install Mode and go through the System

Setup menu to the Install Menu. (see section 3).

11002-12405 Rev 2 Page 24 of 75


From the Install Menu, select UNIT CONFIG. On the Unit Config menu:

1. Use the joystick (or equivalent keys) to move the highlighted block to Display Orientation, and

across to the current selection. Move the joystick up or down to select either Landscape or

Portrait

2. Use the joystick (or equivalent keys) to move the highlighted block to Rotary Control. Select

Yes if the controlling device that you intend to use has a rotary control (or equivalent) that can

be used to select items from lists in the Sentinel software and to switch quickly between

display pages.

3. Use the joystick (or equivalent keys) to move the highlighted block to Joystick Rotation, and

across to the current selection.

11002-12405 Rev 2 Page 25 of 75

4. Press SAVE & EXIT. The new settings will be stored and will take effect the next time you

start up the Sentinel.

2.5.14 Touch-Screen

When Sentinel is interfaced with a Skyquest AVDU-1628 display (or any other display supporting the

same proprietary touch-screen control protocol – contact Skyquest for details) then it can respond to

touches on the screen rather than using bezel keys at the edge of the screen. If Sentinel is configured

to use the full touch-screen interface then following differences will be seen:

users can pan the map and move through lists by “finger dragging”,

“ZOOM IN” and “ZOOM OUT” keys are replaced by + and - icons on the screen.

the hotkey labels at the edge of the screen react appropriately when touched

text and number entry is simplified by using an on-screen keyboard or number pad that is

displayed when required.

entries in lists can be selected by touching them directly rather than scrolling through the list.

Figure 2-11 On-screen keyboard for touch-screen interface

The AVDU-1628 display may be connected to either of the two COM ports (RS422). The chosen port

must be configured for Touchscreen – see section 3.4.5 of this manual for instructions on setting up

the touchscreen interface.

11002-12405 Rev 2 Page 26 of 75

2.5.15 KRA 405B Radar Altimeter

Sentinel can be interfaced with a Bendix/King KRA 405B RADAR Altimeter. The KRA 405B may be

connected to either ARINC 429 port. (See section 3.2 for setup details) Radar altitude value received

from the Radar Altimeter (see section 3.4.6), is displayed in the currently selected altitude units.

CAUTION: This feature is provided for convenience only. Sentinel is NOT intended for use as a primary Radar altitude indicator. Crews MUST NOT use any information displayed on Sentinel for terrain avoidance.

2.6 GPS ANTENNA

The internal GPS receiver in the Sentinel is designed to work with a 26dB gain 5Vdc Commant

Industries antenna. This is available from Honeywell as a KA96.

We recommend the use of 50 coaxial cable such as RG58, with the lowest achievable losses.

When installing the GPS antenna the following points should be considered:

The antenna should be roof mounted to allow full view of the available satellites.

It should be kept away from, as far as possible, projections such as propellers, rotor heads or

large antennas.

The antenna should be at least 1 metre away from other GPS antennas.

The antenna should be as far as possible from SATCOM and VHF aerials. Depending on the

equipment installed and the exact geometry and RF characteristics of the installation, radio

transmitters may interfere with or block the reception of GPS signals.

CAUTION: Installers are advised to conduct specific compatibility tests on aircraft fitted with

Satcom equipment. Depending on the findings of these tests, additional RF separation of the

Satcom equipment from GPS receivers may be needed and/or the flight crew may need to be

made aware of limitations on the use of the Satcom equipment.

The Commant Industries antenna does not require a ground plane to work correctly, it should

however be bonded to the local mounting surface to minimise the likelihood of damage due to

lightning strikes.

Routing of the co-axial cable should be accomplished in such a manner as to minimise the

potential for electrical noise, which may be induced in the signal line by other cables or

11002-12405 Rev 2 Page 27 of 75

equipment. Avoid bundling the GPS antenna cable with cables supplying strobe lights or high-

power RF equipment.

The length of the co-axial cable and the number of connectors between the antenna and the

GPS input on the Sentinel should be kept to a minimum. The internal GPS engine works best

if the loss in the cable (including any in-line connectors) is less than 8dB. Depending on the

number of connectors and the quality of the cable, this could equate to a cable length of up to

12m. Installers may choose to accept greater signal losses depending on specific

circumstances.

Full details of the antenna footprint and mounting requirements are shown in the kit supplied with the

antenna, and the guidance notes therein should be adhered to for a successful installation.

3.5 SAVING AND UPLOADING PROFILES

Sentinel provides a convenient way for user settings and installation configuration settings to be

stored, retrieved and transferred between units so that installers can quickly set up several units the

same way. This is accomplished by setting up one unit in the desired configuration, and then saving

its settings to a USB memory device so that they can be uploaded to other units.

Power on the unit that will provide the settings files, and enter INSTALL MODE (see page 36). Ensure

that all installation options and user settings are correct, and then put a USB key into the USB socket

located behind the door on the front of the Sentinel unit. Go to the System Setup page (accessible

from the Main Menu).

Figure 3-11 System Setup Menu (Install Mode)

Note that the Load Profile and Save Profile options will not be visible if there is no USB memory

device present.

Figure 3-12 Save Profile Page

11002-12405 Rev 2 Page 44 of 75

Use the joystick or rotary control to highlight Save Profile Settings, and press SELECT. You will then

be able to enter a name for the profile – if you do not enter a name, Sentinel will use the time and

date.

Press SAVE ALL to save User Settings, System Settings, Flight plans and User Waypoints to

the USB device.

Press SETTINGS to save User Settings and System Settings to the USB device

Press FPLANS & WPTS to save flight plans and User Waypoints to the USB device.

NOTE: System settings (configuration options accessible through the Install Menu) will only be saved

if the Sentinel is in Install Mode.

See section 4 of this document for an outline of the User Settings options.

Turn off the Sentinel unit in the usual way, waiting until the display and keys have gone dark before

removing the USB memory device.

To load previously saved settings into another Sentinel unit, switch on the unit to which you wish to

transfer the settings. If you wish to upload installation configuration settings (“System Settings”) then

you will need to select INSTALL MODE (see page 36). If you only wish to upload user settings then

you can proceed directly to the LOAD PROFILE page, which can be reached through the Mission

Control menu ([OK] [OK] [MISSION CONTROL] [LOAD PROFILE]) or through the System

Setup menu.

Not shown unless in Install Mode

Figure 3-13 Load Profile Page

If there are several sets of configuration files on the USB key, Sentinel will allow you to select which

4 USER SETTINGS: “SYSTEM SETUP”

Users can configure Sentinel to suit their preferences without needing to access the Install Menu.

Installers may wish to accept the factory settings, or they may wish to configure the User Settings prior

to delivering the aircraft to the user. The User Settings options are explained fully in the Sentinel Pilot

Guide, but for convenience an abbreviated summary of the options is presented here.

Access the System Setup page from the Main Menu.

Figure 4-1 System Setup Menu (not in Install Mode)

4.1 General System Setup Page

Figure 4-2 General System Setup Page

The General System Setup page (Figure 4-2) allows such options as

Selecting the style of icon for the ownship (fixed wing or helicopter)

Whether to have the soft key labels always shown on the map pages, or whether to allow

them to be hidden automatically after a few seconds to maximise the visible map area.

11002-12405 Rev 2 Page 47 of 75

Time interval between position recording points in the flight log file

4.2 Map Setup Pages

There are five pages of options to control the way information is presented on the moving map display.

On each page, press NEXT to move on to the next in the sequence, or SAVE & EXIT to return directly

to the System Setup menu. Within each page, use the joystick to highlight a field in the left-hand

column, and then move the highlight to the right-hand column before using the joystick to select the

desired option.

4.2.1 General Map Setup Options

General map setup options are:

Map Orientation (North Up / Track Up / Heading Up). Note that the map can only be shown in

Heading Up orientation if Heading data is available.

Extended Track Line ON/OFF

Range Rings on Map controls whether the range ring will be displayed as a single circle with a

radius of the displayed ranges scale value, or as two rings where the inner ring is half of the

radius of the indicated ring.

Airports can be chosen to be labelled with their name, ICAO code, or nearest city.

If Auto-Zoom in enabled then the map range will be automatically adjusted so that, if possible,

the current aircraft position and the flight plan destination are both visible on the map.

The Minimum and Maximum terrain elevations can be used to define a band of terrain heights

within which terrain display is to be optimised. Sentinel will use smaller vertical steps for

displaying terrain within the minimum and maximum values: terrain outside this range will still

be shown, but at lower resolution. This feature might be beneficial for operators who fly in

limited areas where all terrain is above or below a certain height.

11002-12405 Rev 2 Page 48 of 75

4.2.2 Map Feature Setup Options

There are four pages of setup options to control how information is presented on the map. For each

type of feature, the icon (or line colours) can be selected and the range of zoom levels at which the

icon and its label will be visible can be selected.

Point Feature Display Setup Options

Line & Area Feature Display Options

Airspace Display Setup Options

Map Overlay Setup Options

Figure 4-3 Map feature setup options

Sentinel can display several types of map – for example with or without topographic information, or

with or without raster mapping. It is important to note that each of the selections made on these pages

will only be applied to ONE of the map displays unless the ALL MAPS option is used. So if you want

Class D airspace to be shown at all zoom levels on all maps, then select ALL MAPS when adjusting

its display options. But if you only want city names to be displayed on some kinds of map, then press

CHANGE MAP and select the type of map for which you want the changes to apply (see Figure 4-4).

11002-12405 Rev 2 Page 49 of 75

Figure 4-4 Map Layer Selection Window

4.3 Navigation Setup Page

Figure 4-5 Navigation Setup Page

The available options are:

Navigation Source will only be shown if an external position source has been configured. The

user can use this option on the Navigation setup menu to force the unit to use the internal

GPS without accessing the install menu.

AutoNav is available if the Navigation Source is set to External. If enabled, it allows the unit to

revert to using its internal GPS if the External navigation source fails (see 2.5.4).

The CDI scale is the extent of the Course Deviation Indicator scale on the CDI data window

(see section 4.4)

Time Zone and Offset are used to set up the time used for reporting predicted arrival times

and for other events where local times are needed..

Sentinel will use magnetic variation information supplied by an external navigation source if

that data is available. If the internal GPS is being used, then Sentinel can use an

11002-12405 Rev 2 Page 50 of 75

automatically-calculated value for magnetic variation or users may choose to enter their own

value manually.

The Near Position data window (see 4.4) reports the aircraft’s position with respect to one or

more of the selected databases.

If Turn Anticipation is enabled, then Sentinel will show transitions between flight plan legs as

smooth turns.

Sentinel will provide an Airspace Alert message whenever the aircraft is approaching known

airspace if SUA Alerting is enabled and the vertical limits of the airspace are within a vertical

distance of the current aircraft altitude set by the SUA Alert Buffer.

In some countries, all published waypoint identifier codes have the same first character. This

is set by default in some countries, but this can be overridden by the user using the Initial

Waypoint Char field.

Users can use the Direct-To Mode field to control the way that the unit behaves when a Direct-

To is initiated. If the mode is set to Leg Mode, then the Direct To flight plan is defined as a

fixed line from the aircraft’s position at the time that the Direct To is initiated, to the destination.

If the aircraft deviates from this line then the CDI display (if enabled) will show the appropriate

value. If the Direct-To Mode is set to Target Mode then the Direct To line is continually

refreshed so that it continues to point from the aircraft towards the selected target as the

aircraft moves.

4.4 Data Field Setup Page

This setup permits the user to arrange the data windows along the left edge of the display in any

order.

Figure 4-6 Data window setup page

Move the joystick up or down to highlight the data window to be configured. Move the joystick right to

begin selection of the desired data to be displayed. Use the joystick or rotary control to select the

11002-12405 Rev 2 Page 51 of 75

desired display for the data window and move the joystick left to complete its setup. Repeat this

process for all the data windows. If you do not want to use any of the data windows then you can

select “none” as one of the display options. Table 1 lists the possible windows that can be configured.

11002-12405 Rev 2 Page 55 of 75

5 INSTALLATION CHECK OUT

The following information is intended as an aid to confirm satisfactory operation as part of an installer’s

normal checks, for example as described in Appendix 5 of FAA AC 20-138A.

5.1 WIRING CONTINUITY CHECK

Once the loom is assembled into the aircraft, it is recommended that an end to end pin out electrical

continuity test be conducted using best practice, to ensure the interconnect requirements of the

Installation Wiring Schematic herein are complied with, before putting any power on the system.

5.2 NORMAL OPERATION

The system should be powered up with the GPS source coupled to the Sentinel. THE SENTINEL

SHOULD AT NO TIME THROUGHOUT THE TESTING BE REMOVED FROM THE RACK whilst still

powered, since this could damage the system. The system should be checked out as per the

requirements of this installation manual, at a nominal temperature of 20 degree Centigrade, +/-10deg

Celcius prior to flight clearance. Do not operate the unit with the door open in flight.

The minimum testing shall be as follows:

5.2.1 Power On

Prior to power on, ensure that the operating system (Primary slot) Compact Flash card and mapping

compact flash cards (Auxiliary slots) are fitted correctly into the Sentinel (the system will operate

without auxiliary mapping compact flash cards present but no detailed mapping will be present).

Sentinel is not designed to be used during engine start and we recommend that the installation and

operating procedures allow for it to be switched on once electrical power is fully stabilised. Switch on

a panel mounted Sentinel once aircraft power is available and fully stabilised using the ON/OFF knob

on the bezel. Switch on a remote mounted Sentinel once aircraft power is available and fully

stabilised either using the switch fitted directly to the Power Control line, or using another controller

(for example a Panel Mounted Sentinel). A blue video blanking screen will be displayed immediately,

and this will be replaced after about 25 seconds by a Honeywell logo followed by the self-test screen.

Check that all “SELF TESTS” are shown as PASS. This screen also displays the system operating

software revision which should be checked to ensure it is the correct revision. Press the OK key to

proceed to the CAUTION page which states the conditions of use which can be agreed to by again

pressing the OK key. The next screen displayed is the MAIN MENU page.

5.2.2 System Status

The device status pages are an extremely useful way to confirm that an installation is configured, and

can help fault-finding. Check the basic status of the system on the System Status page, which can be

displayed from the MAIN MENU screen by pressing [SYSTEM SETUP] [STATUS PAGE]. The

screen below will be displayed:

11002-12405 Rev 2 Page 56 of 75

Figure 5-1 System Status Menu

The options available on this screen will depend on which devices are configured. For each device,

pressing SELECT will show the current status of the device, including known faults. For example, the

Altitude Source status page (Figure 5-2) shows all of the various altitude sources connected to

Sentinel and it identifies which one is in use and whether any others have failed.

Figure 5-2 Altitude Source Status Page

Other status pages are shown in the table below:

Menu Entry Description Altitude Source Status Shows which sources of altitude information have been

detected, what value each one is sending, and which have failed.

Heading Source Status Shows which sources of heading information have been detected, what value each one is sending, and which have failed.

Internal GPS Status Shows the reported status of the internal GPS module – an easy way to check the quality of the GPS antenna installation.

Position Source Status Shows the reported status of the external position source (Only available if an external position source is configured).

Software and Database Versions Shows the software and database version numbers System Information Shows system history, serial number information (see section

11002-12405 Rev 2 Page 57 of 75

11002-12405 Rev 2 Page 58 of 75

Menu Entry Description 5.2.3), and any event codes that have been recorded.

XM Weather Status Displays the reported status of the XM weather receiver. (Only available if XM weather configured.)

Radar Altitude Status Displays status information for the radar altitude device

5.2.3 System Information and Event Codes

Selecting System Information option on the System Status menu will display the System Information

page.

Figure 5-3 System Information Page

The System Information page shows basic information such as the unit serial number, the total unit

run time, and the number of power cycles. It is normal for units to have a small number of run hours

and power cycles when they are delivered from the factory.

If the unit was placed into Install Mode on power-up, then the System Information page will also show

a box listing Event Codes. For each event code, the time since its occurrence is also shown. Event

codes are recorded automatically whenever certain events happen. These events include situations

where Sentinel detects that connected equipment has stopped sending data (indicating either a

possible failure or an intentional shut-down of the connected equipment), or changes in the status of

internal components, or internal failures. It may be helpful to make a note of the event codes recorded

on a unit if a customer reports problems, and pass these on to the Honeywell customer support

organisation.

5.2.4 Map Mode

From MAIN MENU it will now be possible to select the MAP key. Check that initially the MAP comes

up as a static system with either of the following messages: NO FIX POSSIBLE, (internal GPS is

configured and no fix is possible), or NO EXTERNAL POSITION DATA or INVALID EXTERNAL

POSITION DATA (external GPS is configured and either it is not sending data or the data it is sending

is invalid). Check that the MAP switches from a warning message to an aircraft icon once the GPS

has a fix and is sending valid data, and check that the map shows a sensible position. Check that in

MAP mode the joystick function works, test it North, South, East and West and then NE, NW, SE and

SW. Check that in MAP mode the ZOOM IN, ZOOM OUT, MAP VIEW, NAV/SEARCH and MAIN

MENU keys are active. Return to MAIN MENU.

CAUTION

There are many types of equipment able to transmit flight plan data in ARINC 429 format, but

the detailed implementations are known to differ between manufacturers and from product to

product. If the system is configured to accept external Flight Plan data from an ARINC 429

source, it is the installer’s responsibility to conduct a suitable test that includes sequencing

through a Flight Plan, in order to confirm that the waypoints and routes from the external

source are accurately displayed on the Sentinel. We are unable to guarantee complete

compatibility with every device that claims to send ARINC 429 flight plans.

5.2.5 Shut Down

NOTE

Removing power from the Sentinel system before the system has completed the shut down

operation (all Key Legends and screen is extinguished) can cause NVM corruption resulting in

the system failing to operate correctly.

There is one correct method of shutting down the Sentinel system, which is by moving the ON/OFF

switch to the OFF (pulled out) position. Once the software has detected that the switch is in the OFF

position a CAUTION message is displayed giving a 5 to 0 second count down, after which the system

will power down. At any time during this 5 second period if the switch is returned to the ON position

the system will return to the screen displayed before the OFF position was detected.

9 MAPPING AND COPYRIGHT

Sentinel can display many different kinds of mapping data. The basic navigation data is provided by

Honeywell itself or through licenses that Honeywell has negotiated with data suppliers. However,

Sentinel customers can specify a wide range of different types of map data that will be loaded onto the

Auxiliary compact flash cards in order to suit their particular mission needs. Some of this map data

may be public domain information, but in most cases the data suppliers only allow their data to be

used if appropriate copyright licensing arrangements are put in place. These copyright licenses are

often specific to a particular end user organisation and installers should be aware that distributing

compact flash cards procured for one user to other users may put them in breach of data licensing

agreements.

Some customers may issue data to Honeywell so that it can be loaded onto compact flash cards for

their specific use. Honeywell assumes that customers have made the necessary copyright licensing

arrangements that will allow customers to use the data on their aircraft in this way. Honeywell accepts

no liability for copyright issues associated with data supplied by customers for use on their own

systems.

Honeywell may enter into data distribution agreements with data suppliers in order to be able to supply

customised mapping to one or more end user organisation. The terms of these license agreements

are set by the data suppliers and they vary widely. Honeywell may be contractually obliged to collect

license fees periodically on behalf of data suppliers, or to ensure that copyright notices are passed on

to end users. Installers must pass on all and any documentation related to the mapping that is

delivered from Honeywell to the end user of the system. Where necessary, installers must make

available contact details of end users for the purposes of license records.
