gauge wire such as AWG #20 may be needed for power connections. Do not attach any wires to the outside of the instrument or route high current wires within six (6) inches of the programmer. Ensure that routing of the wiring is not exposed to sources of heat, RF or EM interference.
same line, one of which has a large static reservoir. A simple remedy for this problem if it occurs is a tee-‐fitting near the static port, and a dedicated line to the instrument. Obviously, an insufficiently-‐large orifice coupled with large static reservoirs can aggravate the problems associated with lag.
Gemini Series ADI Operation GPS Signal Acquisition The Gemini Series ADI has minimal required setup before the first flight. Ensure that the instrument is powered down until after the engine is running. Once the engine is running and with the aircraft still stationary, apply power to the Gemini.
Gemini Display The diagram at right illustrates some of the features of the Gemini ADI display. The pitch display of the Gemini ADI is velocity vector. This is not pitch attitude but rather the flight path of the aircraft.
Using the Touch Screen The Gemini ADI has a touch screen interface. It is a capacitive touch display and therefore does not require very much pressure on the display to operate.
Slip Indicator Centering It is best to center the slip indicator while the aircraft is on the ground and stationary. To center: 1-‐Touch and hold ‘control key’ in upper left corner of display. 2-‐While holding ‘control key’, touch just to the right of the slip pointer.
Low Airspeed Warning Setting This operation must be performed in flight. The pitot line must be connected to the instrument. To set LAS warning: 1-‐Fly at the desired indicated airspeed for the low airspeed warning setting. 2-‐Touch and hold ‘control key’ in upper left corner of display.
Info Page Display The unit serial number and software revision level can be displayed by touching the right-‐center area of the display, shown below. 1-‐Touch and hold the right-‐center area to display the info page. The instrument will return to normal flight screen when the screen is released.
Setting DG When GPS Signal Is Lost When the GPS signal is lost the DG will enter the free gyro mode. This mode has no track or heading reference so the DG must be set against a compass heading or other directional reference. There are several options for changing the DG direction.
