BendixKing KG 102A directional gyro 060-0015-00

060-0015-00 is the exact BendixKing Part Number for the KG 102A remote directional gyro represented in this product card. The unit is used as a heading-reference component in compatible KCS 55A compass installations. It is mounted remotely rather than displayed directly on the instrument panel, allowing the flight crew to receive gyro-stabilized magnetic heading information through the connected horizontal situation indicator.

The KG 102A contains the directional-gyro mechanism, control electronics and an internal power supply for the associated compass equipment. It is not a complete compass system and it is not interchangeable with an indicator, magnetic transmitter or slaving accessory. Installation requires the correct wiring, shock mount, connected units and aircraft-approved data for the exact system configuration.

Heading stabilization in the KCS 55A system

During operation, the KMT 112 magnetic azimuth transmitter senses the direction of the earth’s magnetic field. The KG 102A supplies excitation to the transmitter and receives the resulting magnetic-heading information through the system interface. The gyro provides short-term heading stability while the slaving circuit applies controlled corrections so the indicated heading remains referenced to magnetic north.

The heading loop then drives the compass presentation in a compatible KI 525A horizontal situation indicator. A KA 51B slaving accessory can provide manual or automatic slaving functions and a visual indication of slaving error. In practical terms, the functional chain is KMT 112 magnetic transmitter to KG 102A directional gyro and control electronics, then to the KI 525A HSI and KA 51B slaving display. Every component must match the approved KCS 55A installation.

Electrical interfaces and system outputs

The exact photographed manufacturer plate specifies two allowable DC supply configurations: 14 V DC with a maximum current of 3 A, or 28 V DC with a maximum current of 1.5 A. Published KG 102A data state that its internal power supply produces positive and negative reference voltages for the KI 525A and KA 51B and a 7.2 V RMS, 400 Hz excitation signal for the KMT 112 and related slaving circuit.

Signal inputs include the slaving-error control-transformer information returned through the KI 525A interface. Outputs include the heading-loop drive signal for the KI 525A, a slaving-meter drive signal for the KA 51B and a compass-valid discrete. These are system interfaces rather than general-purpose outputs. Pin assignments and signal levels must be checked against the applicable installation or maintenance manual before wiring or bench testing.

Installation, dimensions and version control

The KG 102A uses a shock-mounted remote installation. Published dimensions are approximately 5.370 × 7.790 × 4.290 in, corresponding to about 136.4 × 197.9 × 109.0 mm. A specialist product specification lists 4.3 lb, while the exact photographed identification plate states 4.8 lb. The plate value is retained for this specific photographed assembly because it is direct identification evidence; a difference may reflect mounting hardware, configuration or the basis used by the published specification.

Published operating temperature is −55 °C to +55 °C. Part Numbers 060-0015-01 and 060-0015-02 are documented as different KG 102A configurations: the -01 version adds an RFI filter, while the -02 version adds the RFI filter and tumble-detection functionality. Those suffixes must not be treated as automatic replacements for 060-0015-00. Modification status, connector arrangement, gyro-can configuration and aircraft approval should be checked before any substitution.

Serviceable condition and ordering

This 060-0015-00 KG 102A is offered in Serviceable condition from partner stock with a six-month warranty.
