REPAIR INSTRUCTIONS
If an equipment fault the unit may be sent to a Becker Dealer or the Be-
cker Product Support together with a description of the fault. The com-
pleted fault description shortens the repair times and hence lowers the
resultant costs.
These operating instructions do not replace the equipment manuals lis-
ted below.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
lSwitch off the navigation receiver before starting or shutting
down engines !
lThe NAV system should be connected to the aircraft power supp-
ly by its own 1 A circuit breaker.
lWarning! Reception is only possible when there is a quasi-optical
sight to the VOR station.
lWhen the warning flag in the display unit appears, the course de-
viation needle must then not be used in the continuing flight !
lWarning! When flying with the autopilot locked on to VOR, the
OBS must not be rotated because any change in the off-course
needle is followed by the autopilot !
lIf the off-course needle instrument fails, no warning flag appears.
Check the off-course needle by activating the TEST function. The
course deviation needle must deflect halfway. Important to check
before approach to landing !
lDuring approaches on the back beam, a needle deflection no
longer corresponds to a command indication. In this special
case, course corrections must be made opposite to the needle
deflection !
lWhen overflying VOR stations a cone of silence of ±45°occurs
in which the warning flag appears and the course deviation need-
le stays in the mid position.
lWhen flying over mountains the course deviation needle may
deviate about the mid position (reflections) when approaching or
leaving VOR stations. Doppler VOR stations produce substantial-
ly more stable indications under these conditions.
Operating Instructions
Issue 12/97 Page 5
lEMC note: If the antennas of transmitting equipment and of the
navigation receiver are not sufficiently decoupled, it is possible
that the warning flag may appear during transmission or the cour-
se deviation needle may deflect. Inadequate decoupling is possi-
ble with airframes made of wood or synthetic materials or where
the antennas are mounted close together.

Release the volume control
Call up function “Poti” using the MDE key. The following display appe-
ars:
left LC-Display Poti
right LC-Display ON or OFF
Select the required setting using the kHz frequency selector switch and
store the selection by pressing the STO key.
OFF = The audio output signal is off and can not be
adjusted with the volume control.
ON = The audio output signal can be adjusted with the
volume control (standard setting).
Ending of the service mode
The navigation receiver must be switched off to finish end the service
mode.
qDeletion of all stored frequencies in the storage channels
Press and hold the STO and MDE keys whilst switching on the navigati-
on receiver. All the stored frequencies in the storage channels are dele-
ted, with the exception of channel 01.

GENERAL INFORMATIONS
The NAV receiver NR 3320 - (01) is designed to receive and convert
VOR and LOC signals on 200 channels in the frequency range between
108.00 MHz and 117.95 MHz.
The NAV receiver NR 3320 - (02) is designed to receive VOR and LOC
signals on 200 channels in the frequency range between 108.00 MHz
and 117.95 MHz. It supplies the NAV composite signal to an external
VOR/LOC converter. Both NAV receiver include a glideslope receiver.
The glideslope receiver is designed to receive and convert GS signals
on 40 channels in the frequency range between 329.15 MHz and
335.00 MHz.
The NAV receiver NR 3330 - (01) is designed to receive and convert
VOR and LOC signals on 200 channels in the frequency range between
108.00 MHz and 117.95 MHz.
The NAV receiver NR 3330 - (02) is designed to receive VOR and LOC
signals on 200 channels in the frequency range between 108.00 MHz
and 117.95 MHz. It supplies the NAV-composite signal to an external
VOR/LOC converter.
qShort description of NAV receiver
The NAV receiver is designed as a single unit for installation in the in-
strument panel or operating console of aircraft. Its dimensions corre-
spond to the ARINC standard dimensions for control equipment. It is
held in place by four DZUS fasteners. All controls and indicators are lo-
cated on the front panel.
Operating Instructions
Issue 12/97 Page 7
The back side of the unit contains:
·the BNC-antenna jacks for the VOR/LOC-receiver
·the TNC-antenna jacks for the GS-receiver
·the 15-pole D-sub connector plug (female) for the outputs of the
VOR/LOC converter board (NR 3320 - ( 01) and NR 3330 -(01)
only)
·the 9-pole D-sub connector plug (female) for the I/O Outputs of
the RS 422 interface.
·the 25-pole D-sub connector plug (male) unit connector plug
The electronic elements of the unit are distributed among the following
boards, which are linked with one another by means of p.c. connectors:
1. Chassis board
2. VOR/LOC receiver board
3. VOR/LOC converter board
4. GS receiver board
5. Processor board
6. Display board
7. Interface board
The interface board and the processor board are mounted and fastened
by means of four screws on the frame of the control head. The display
board with the two liquid crystal displays is located between the front
plate and the panel.

Entry of password to interlock the equipment configuration
Call up the “COdE” function using the MDE key. The following display
appears:
left LC-Display COdE
right LC-Display 0000
Set any 4-digit numerical code. Using the MHz frequency selector
switch, select the character (two digit left) and kHz frequency selector
switch, select the character (two digit right) . Store the numerical code
by pressing the STO key.
NOTE
As soon as a password is given a “0000" appears in the right
LC-Display when the service mode is called up. The numeri-
cal code must then be input using the MHz and kHz frequen-
cy selector switch and press the STO key. If the navigation
receiver detects a false numerical code, it automatically swit-
ches to the last mode. If the password is to be erased or chan-
ged, this is done by calling up the service mode using the old
password. The COdE function is then chosen and either a
”0000" is entered everywhere or the changed numerical code
is entered.
