Introduction
INTRODUCTION
All of us at Honeywell congratulate you on choosing this product. You
are now the owner of one of the most sophisticated yet simple-to-use
multifunction displays available today. We understand you probably
can’t wait to see it in action but before you try to use it please take the
time to read through this manual and understand its many interesting
and useful features. Time spent in familiarizing yourself with your new
KMD 550/850 unit will be more than repaid by trouble-free operation
later, and more importantly safe and accurate navigation.
We have made the operation of this unit as intuitive as possible through
the use of Power Keys and on-screen help, thus reducing pilots’ depen-
dence on the manual. You should very quickly find that handling it effi-
ciently and expertly becomes second nature to you. Don’t be afraid to
experiment. No matter which key you activate, your unit will not be dam-
aged. If you do get into a mess, simply switch off and back on again to
reset all functions. We must mention just one word of caution. Never
remove the database card while the unit is switched on and never
attempt to switch the unit on when there is no database card
installed.
We thank you for your decision to purchase a KMD 550/850 and wish
you many happy and safe hours flying.
Whenever you are using the unit for navigation in the air you should treat
it as a supplemental display system. You should always carefully com-
pare indications from your KMD 550/850 unit with the information avail-
able from all other navigation sources including GPS, NDBs, VORs,
DMEs, visual sightings, charts, etc. For safety, any discrepancies
observed should be resolved immediately.
This equipment is not a replacement for your chart. It is intended as an
aid to navigation only. The database within the equipment has been
compiled from the latest official information available, and although
every care has been taken in the compilation, the manufacturers will not
be held responsible for any inaccuracy or omissions therein. NEVER
USE THE TERRAIN DISPLAYED ON THIS EQUIPMENT AS YOUR
SOLE REFERENCE FOR TERRAIN AVOIDANCE.

General Information
GENERAL INFORMATION
This section of the manual provides an overview of the software architec-
ture and display presentation of the KMD 550/850 Multifunction Display.
This manual also provides an explanation of each of the individual dis-
plays that the KMD 550/850 unit presents.
The operating system of the Bendix/King KMD 550/850 keeps to a min-
imum the number of key presses necessary to activate the various func-
tions, especially those most frequently used in the air. The provision of a
joystick makes it considerably easier to operate the unit and allows for
fast and efficient access to most functions.

FUNCTION SELECT KEYS
These keys are used to select available data sources (as indicated on
the key) for display on the LCD. When a function key is pressed, the
annunciator above it will illuminate to show that this function is presently
being displayed. Pressing the same Function Select Key multiple times
will sequence through the available pages associated with that function.
The following diagram shows the available pages under each function.
Note that not all pages will be available in all installations.

General Information
OVLY-
Pressing the Overlay Key allows data from more than one
source to be displayed simultaneously on the display. Soft
Labels will indicate which data sources are available for
overlay.
SOFT LABELS
Soft Labels are located to the left of the Power Keys in the LCD area.
The description indicated in the label describes the key’s present func-
tion related to the displayed page. Whenever a new function is selected,
by pressing a key with a Soft Label, a new display is shown along with its
new key labels. This capability of displaying Soft Labels that are only
applicable to a particular screen is referred to as ‘Soft Keying’, and
allows one key to perform multiple functions without the complications of
multiple key presses on a conventional keypad.
JOYSTICK
This is a pointing device which moves a mouse-like pointer around the
display. It is primarily used for pointing at items on the map for further
information and for measuring range and bearing to specific points.
When the WX Radar function is selected, the joystick controls antenna
tilt angle and track. Data link weather also uses the joystick to perform
product display selection. It is also used to modify configuration settings
on the AUX setup pages.
CONTROL KNOB
The inner and outer Control Knobs, located in the lower right of the unit,
have various functions as indicated by a soft label when active. For
example, if the weather (WX) Function Select Key is pressed, the inner
knob may control the gain on the weather radar. The outer knob will act
as the radar function selector for ON, Standby (SBY) and Test (TST).
Data link weather also uses the joystick to do product display selection.
FAULT INDICATOR
The Fault Indicator is located between the Range buttons. If this tiny “F”
is illuminated, a system hardware problem is exists. This could be
caused by the unit failing a self test or an improper installation configura-
tion.
If the Fault Indicator appears, cycle the unit power. If the fault re-occurs,
the unit needs to be taken to an authorized service center to correct the
configuration or repair the unit.

able range settings are 1, 2.5, 5, 10, 20, 40, 80, 160,
320, 500, 1000 and 2000nm. The levels of detail
appearing at each zoom level can be changed in the
Map Setup section.
When active, Auto Zoom
automatically adjusts the
range setting up or down as
needed to keep the flight
plan active waypoint within
the viewable area of the Map
display. The flight plan must
be overlayed on the Map dis-
play for Auto Zoom to be
enabled.
Auto Zoom is enabled in
either of the following ways:
Figure 4
1. Pressing RNG Δ while on
the 2000nm range setting.
2. Pressing and holding either RNG Key for 2 seconds or more. While
the RNG Key continues to be pressed, a hold-to-help box willl be dis-
played as shown in Figure 4.
While Auto Zoom is enabled, AUTO is displayed in small black text to
the right of the current range setting (see Figure 4).
Auto zoom can be canceled in one of the following ways:
1. Pressing either RNG Key.
2. The flight plan becomes invalid.

Operation
3. The flight plan overlay is removed via the OVLY menu.
The small boxes marked TRK: and GS: display your present track and
ground speed. Track will be magnetic (i.e.: true with local variation auto-
matically taken into account).
The box marked POS: will display your present position as a distance
and bearing from the nearest item in the database. The geographical
item used to describe the position is chosen on the basis of the POSI-
TION REF: setting in the Map Setup.
If you have chosen VORs as the position reference, your position will be
reported as a distance (range) and bearing from the nearest VOR. If you
have chosen VORs & AIRPORTS as the position reference and your
position is within 5nm of a VOR, your position will be reported as a dis-
tance and bearing from that VOR even if there is an airport nearer (i.e.
VORs have priority). If there is no VOR within 5nm then your position
will be reported with respect to the nearest VOR or airport with no priority
being given for either.
If you have chosen ALL DATA as the position reference, your position
will be reported against a table of priorities. If your position is within five
miles of an airport, it is your distance and bearing from that airport that
will be displayed, even if there is a navaid, user waypoint or town nearer.
All airport names are shown preceded by an asterisk character (*)
in order to distinguish them from towns or cities with similar names
that may have significantly different locations. If your position is
found to be within five miles of a VOR beacon and more than five miles
from an airport, then your position will be shown with respect to the VOR
beacon, even if there is a user waypoint, NDB or town nearer. NDBs
have next priority with towns last.
DATA INTERROGATION
As soon as the joystick is
moved, a display similar to
Figure 5 will be displayed.
The map freezes in its pre-
sent position with respect to
the joystick pointer. A line
appears between present
position and the joystick
pointer. (The reason the
map is made to stop moving
is that this makes accurate
positioning of the joystick
Figure 5
pointer much easier.) The aircraft icon will still be displayed in the
proper location on the map.

Operation
Simultaneously, boxes labeled PDIS and PBRG are displayed. These
show the distance and bearing from present position to the joystick
pointer. This function can be used to measure distance and bearing to
any point on the map. The window formed by the extremities of the
display can be moved around the map by "bumping" the display bor-
Δ
∇
ders left, right, up or down with the pointer. The RNG and RNG
keys can still be used to zoom the map in and out. Press RESET
STICK and the joystick pointer will vanish, the display will return to the
moving map, and the map will be placed back in its present position at
the zoom level that was selected prior to activating the joystick. If the
joystick is not moved for 30 seconds, the display will time-out back to
the moving map.
In addition to finding it useful for measuring distances and bearings,
the joystick can be used for other tasks. By placing the pointer over
any data icon and pressing MORE INFO, a display similar to Figure 5
will appear. Additional data and information on the selected item is
displayed.
AIRPORT INFORMATION
As shown in Figure 6, you
can display airport informa-
tion by placing the joystick
pointer over an airport icon
and pressing MORE INFO.
All the information given here
is derived from the built-in
Jeppesen
database.
Runway surfaces are shown
as an H for hard and an S for
soft. Lighting is shown as an
L for lit and a U for unlit.
Figure 6
In addition to using the joy-
stick to get airport informa-
tion, the Control Knob may
also be used. Sometimes it
is not desirable to pan the
map to an airport location
some distance from the pre-
sent position. In this case
simply turn either knob and
the AIRPORT INFO Page
will appear as in Figure 6.

Operation
AIRSPACE INTERROGATION
In order to interrogate a piece of airspace on the Map display, move the
joystick operated pointer and point at one of the airspace boundaries.
After releasing the joystick, the software will search the airspace data-
base and after a short time will re-draw the piece of airspace to which
you have pointed in a bolder line with a basic information tag attached.
IMPORTANT:
When a single airspace boundary line is shared by two different
pieces of airspace (which is very common), the airspace with the
lower vertical limit will always be highlighted.
Once it is determined the
piece of airspace highlighted
is the piece for which infor-
mation is wanted (you may
have to zoom out to verify
this, but beware, some air-
space switches off as you
zoom out dependent on the
settings made in Map Setup),
press MORE INFO and addi-
tional information will be dis-
played as in Figure 18.
The information shown on
this display is all the informa-
Figure 18
tion from the internal Jeppesen database that is relevant to the airspace
selected. If some of the fields are blank or say SEE CHART, this means
that Jeppesen data is not available for that particular item.
DISPLAY FLIGHT PLAN DATA
If the host GPS is outputting data in the Bendix/King equivalent ARNAV
R-30 (RS232) data sentence format, in LEG mode, the active flight plan
will be sent to the KMD 550/850 and can be displayed as an overlay on
the map (see Overlaying Data). An exception to this is during the curved
flight segments of approaches (i.e. DME arcs, procedural turns and
holds) when most GPS units stop outputting flight plan data but continue
to output positional data. During a DME arc or procedural turn, the KMD
550/850 will continue to show position, track and ground speed but the
curved line depicting the arc or turn will not be displayed. In OBS mode,
some GPS units will not be able to provide flight plan data. Present posi-
tion is still provided and flight plans will be displayed as soon as the
mode is returned to LEG.

Operation
If the KLN 94 is supplying the
GPS data, and the KLN 94 is
configured to produce the
“Enhanced RS-232 GPS
bus”, the KMD 550/850 will
display the curved paths
including
DME
arcs,
Procedure Turns and Holding
Patterns. Figure 19 is an
example of a DME arc dis-
play.
Important Note for Garmin
GPS Users
Figure 19
Although Garmin products output the Bendix/King equivalent ARNAV R-
30 (RS232) data sentence format, when put into OBS Mode some
Garmin GPS units stop sending all data including GPS position. In these
circumstances your KMD 550/850 will display an error message saying
NO EXTERNAL GPS DATA since it is not receiving present position.
In the case of DME arcs, turns and holds, some Garmin GPS units send
the flight plan information as if there was no arc or curved flight path.
Therefore the KMD 550/850 has no option but to connect the beginning
and end waypoints of the arc or curve with a straight line. Under these
circumstances the line on the KMD 550/850 MUST BE IGNORED.
OVERLAYING DATA
Some data from functions not currently selected on the Function Select
Keys can be displayed on the selected function. By pressing the OVLY
Key a display similar to Figure 20 will be displayed.
The base display will reflect the current function
selected on the Function Select Keys. Available
overlay options will be displayed as Soft Labels.
Pressing the soft key associated with the desired
overlay will toggle between
overlay on and off. Pressing
SAVE & EXIT will return to
the selected function. The
overlay status will remain as
saved until changed again by
pressing the OVLY Key. The
following table shows the

WX-500 Stormscope Operation
®
WX-500 STORMSCOPE OPERATION
INTRODUCTION
The Bendix/King KMD 550/850 is capable of being interfaced to an L3
®
WX-500 Stormscope Series II Weather Mapping Sensor. The WX-500
detects electrical discharges associated with thunderstorms within a 200
nm radius of the aircraft. The information is then sent to the KMD
550/850 and will display the location of the thunderstorms both on the
®
map displays and on a dedicated Stormscope display.
For a detailed description of the WX-500 and how to interpret the light-
ning display and a list of error codes, please reference the WX-500
®
Stormscope User’s Guide.
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
The antenna detects the electric and magnetic fields generated by intra-
cloud, inter-cloud, or cloud-to-ground electrical discharges that occur
within a 200 nm radius of the aircraft and sends the resulting "discharge
signals" to the processor. The processor digitizes, analyzes, and con-
verts the discharge signals into range and bearing data then stores the
data in memory. The WX-500 processor then communicates this infor-
mation to the KMD 550/850 as 'strikes' and 'cells'. The WX-500 updates
the KMD 550/850 every two seconds.
OPERATION
As mentioned earlier, the WX-500 is controlled through the KMD
550/850. The focus on this section is to provide both background infor-
mation and a more detailed explanation of the operating procedures.
The following text assumes you have both the WX-500 and the KMD
®
550/850 switched on and that you have selected the Stormscope dis-
play using the WX Function Select Key on the KMD 550/850.
®
SELECTING STORMSCOPE OR WEATHER RADAR
®
Pressing the WX Function Select Key will toggle between Stormscope
and/or Weather Radar, depending on available options.
The weather radar function is only available in the KMD
850. For operation of the weather radar, see the sepa-
rate section on weather radar operation if provided.

WX-500 Stormscope Operation
POWER-UP
At power-up, the WX-500 executes a power-up self test. The self test
takes approximately 25 seconds to ensure that all major WX-500 func-
tions are operating properly. During this period you may receive a NO
DATA RECEIVED FROM STORMSCOPE message, this is normal.
Functions tested include antenna reception, memory and microprocessor
functions. An error message is displayed if a fault is detected.
HEADING STABILIZATION
Some aircraft are equipped with a remote heading reference, such as an
HSI with a slaved directional gyro. This allows the heading stabilization
feature to automatically adjust the position of the discharge points on the
display when the aircraft changes heading. The heading information
comes from a remote heading source installed in the aircraft that has
been connected to the WX-500. If this heading information is valid, the
WX-500 and KMD 550/850 will use it. In the absence of an external
heading reference, such as an aircraft with only a directional gyro, the
KMD 550/850 will not allow stormscope strikes to be overlaid on the Map
display, nor will it allow flight plan data to be overlaid on the stormscope
display.
CLEAR ALL DISCHARGE POINTS
Clearing the discharge points periodically while monitoring thunder-
storms is a good way to determine if the storm is building or dissipating.
Discharge points in a building storm will reappear faster and in larger
numbers. Discharge points in a dissipating storm will appear slower and
in smaller numbers. To clear the discharge points, move the joystick on
the KMD 550/850.
Clearing the display is especially important if an external heading refer-
ence is not used with the system. The display should be cleared after
changes in heading in order to make the displayed strikes reflect their
true position in relation to the aircraft.
SWITCH BETWEEN WEATHER VIEWS
®
The KMD 550/850 can display the Stormscope data
in one of two views, either all round (360°) or forward
looking only (120°). To switch the display press the
VIEW button to toggle between the displays. Figure
32 is an example of the all round view and Figure 33
shows the forward looking view.

WX-500 Stormscope Operation
SWITCH BETWEEN DISPLAY MODES
®
The KMD 550/850 can display the Stormscope data
in one of two modes, either Cell Mode or Strike Mode.
To switch the display between modes press the
MODE button. The currently selected weather dis-
play mode is indicated on the top left of the display
and will toggle between CELL MODE and STRIKE MODE with each
press of the button as shown in Figures 32 and 33. The mode selected
here will remain in effect until you change it, unless the unit is turned off
and back on.
Figure 33
Figure 32
Cell Display Mode
®
When viewing the dedicated Stormscope display, if cell display mode is
selected, the KMD 550/850 plots a "+" symbol (discharge point) on the
display when it detects associated discharges within the selected range
and view. The KMD 550/850 will plot another "+" close to the first for
each additional discharge determined to be associated with the group.
The KMD 550/850 will not plot a "+" for any discharge not associated
with a group unless it's detected within a 25 nm radius of the aircraft. The
effect of this clustering algorithm is to display the location of storm cells
instead of individual discharges. The cell display mode is most useful
during periods of heavy electrical discharge activity. Using the cell dis-
play mode during these periods frees the pilot from sifting through a dis-
play full of discharge points to determine exactly where the storm cells
are located.
If discharges are detected within 25 nm of the aircraft, the normal
stormscope icon in the Functions Legend will change to one such
as that shown here.

®
WX-500 Stormscope Operation
Strike Display Mode
If the strike display mode is selected, the KMD 550/850 immediately
plots an "x" symbol (discharge point) on the display for each individual
discharge it detects within the selected range and view. The strike dis-
play mode plots discharge points on the display in relation to where the
discharges are actually detected instead of plotting them close to an
associated group of discharge points as is done in the cell display mode.
The strike display mode is most useful during periods of light electrical
activity because it may plot discharges associated with a building thun-
derstorm sooner than the cell display mode would.
If discharges are detected within 25 nm of the aircraft, the normal
stormscope icon in the Functions Legend will change to one such
as that shown here.
CHANGING DISPLAY RANGE
®
To change the displayed range of the Stormscope
display, press the RNG Δ or RNG ∇ keys. With each
press of the keys, the display changes to display the
electrical discharge activity detected within the new
range. The range indicator will also change to display
the numerical value of the new range (25, 50, 100, or
200 nm). This new range corresponds to the distance
from the aircraft to the outer range ring on the display.
Your KMD 550/850 stores electrical discharge information for all ranges
simultaneously to provide you with an instant, up-to-date display of elec-
trical discharge activity when you select a new range.
As you move from one range to the next, the 25 nm range is always indi-
cated by the solid inner ring to advise you of your close proximity to thun-
derstorms. You may also notice that the discharge points are progres-
sively larger on the shorter ranges and smaller on the longer ranges.
This effect makes it easier to spot clusters of discharge points in any
range.
