WIRING DETAILS and PO\\rER SUPPLY COII{FIECTION
The Colibri is immediatety'ON' when power is apptied to the connecior (there is no separate 'ON' switeh
as such). Each unit is supplied with tuo cables;
1.
2.
Porer supply cable for installationin the aircraft.
PC cable with power supply and RS232 plug fu mnnection to your personal computer.
The Power Supolv Cable in addition to supplying power to the unit also has;
a. OuQut for an LED to enable GPS monitoring if the Cdibri is mounted out of view of the pilot.
b. I\MEA output for conneetion to final gHdflight computerg palmtop computers etc.
The user can make both connectisrs, howeversome electronicsexperienceis required, particularly
solderingskills. lt is recommendedthat you consult your dealer for advice if you do not feel competentto
make these connections.The olour oding of the flat, btack 6-wire cable used for connectionto the
Colibri is shown below. Note this applies to the thin wires inside the black tebphone type cable. For
convention,that is, so that red and black wires are used for connectbn to a battery or power supply,
thick red and black wires are soldered onto the appropriateinner wires of the telephone type cable. Blue
