430W/530W ARINC 429 Verification Test

The 430W/530W communicates with the ARINC module using two separate

serial ARINC ports. VOR data is sent on one ARINC port and GPS data is

sent on the other ARINC port. You should verify that both ports are working

after wiring and configuring the EFIS and 430W/530W.

1. EFIS to AF-ARINC Module Communication Test

Boot the EFIS in CONFIG mode and select: 1. Admin Settings -> 21. Diagnostics -> 8. ARINC VOR Test

If the ARINC module is wired to the EFIS correctly it should find the adaptor and you should see the

Message Count increasing. If the EFIS does not find the adaptor the problem is between the AF-ARINC

adaptor and the EFIS and you should check the

following:

 Power to the AF-ARINC module, you can remove

the AF-ARINC cover and check for a green light.

 Wiring between the EFIS serial port and ARINC

Module.

 Serial Port setup on the EFIS Admin Settings page.

2. ARINC to 430W/530W VOR Communication Test

If the ARINC VOR side is wired to the 430/530 correctly and configured you should see some or all of the

VOR data from the radio. Data shown is RED is flagged from the radio and caused by a week VOR

signal.

3. ARINC to 430W/530W GPS Communication Test

Select: 1. Admin Settings -> 21. Diagnostics -> 9. ARINC GPS

Test

If the ARINC GPS side is wired to the 430/530 correctly

and configured you should see some or all of the GPS

data from the radio. Data shown is RED is flagged from

the radio
