Bendix/King KDR-610 Setup
To configure the AV8OR ACE to receive weather data from the
KDR-610, perform the following steps:
From the Aviation Main Menu, tap the soft key to open the
System Setup Menu.
Highlight the Device Setup option and tap the SELECT soft key to
show the Device and Port Setup page.
On the Device and Port Setup page, the configuration steps are:
• Decide whether to use the “COM 1” or “COM 2” serial port.
• Make sure that the serial port you decide to use is not in use
by any other port on the Device Setup Page. If the serial port
is in use, the Port field that shows it must be changed to
another setting.
• Set the Weather Port to “COM 1” or “COM 2”.
• Set the Weather Type to “KDR-610”. When finished the
Device and Port Setup page should look like the setup
options in the figure below.

The output of the KDR 610 is RS 422. You must use an RS 422
to RS 232 converter to change the KDR 610 differential outputs
to the single ended levels that the AV8OR ACE requires. This
converter is installed between the KDR 610 and the AV8OR.
