1. INTRODUCTION
1.1 BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
The KLR 10 system is primarily designed to improve operational
safety of airplanes by increasing pilot awareness of available lift
during operations at high angles of attack (AOA). Additional benefits
may be reaped by identifying or maximizing aircraft performance
based on a fixed AOA or a constant CL, such as maximum range,
best glide, climbs and approaches.
AOA: Angle of Attack is the difference between the
airfoil’s cord line (a line from the leading edge to
the trailing edge of the wing) and the relative
wind (the inverse of the aircraft flight path).
CL: Coefficient of Lift is a relative measure of an
airfoil’s lifting capabilities.
CLmax: Coefficient of Lift Maximum is the AOA which if
exceeded will cause the airfoil to stall.
CD: Coefficient of Drag is a measure of total drag,
induced and parasite drag.
CL/CD:Coefficient of Lift over Coefficient of Drag is a
ratio between lift and drag.
CL/CD Maximum: The maximum lift-to-drag ratio at which
maximum range and maximum glide distance will
be found for propeller airplanes.

1.2 SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
The KLR 10 measures pressure at two points from an AOA probe
mounted solidly to the wing in reference to the cord of the wing that
conveys changing differential pressures, via sense lines, to the
KLR 10 IF module. The IF module converts the pressures into an
electronic signal that is transmitted to the KLR 10 indicator.
The KLR 10 indicator interprets the signal and turns on the
appropriate segments to convey the AOA or lift information to the
pilot. In addition to the visual display, the IF module also has an I/O
connector that allows connection of the remote audio interface
system that provides warning annunciations in the pilot’s headset.
The KLR 10 draws a minimal current of less than approximately ¼
amp (250mA) of electrical power. For the system to operate
correctly, it must be supplied electrical power within a range of 12 to
28VDC and be calibrated correctly.
The AOA probe must be kept clear of any obstructions and be
mounted securely, in clean air flow. The final AOA probe to wing
angle will be determined by the amount the bottom of the wing varies
from parallel to the cord of the wing. For most aircraft, the starting
angle is 50 degrees from the leading edge of the AOA probe
mounting plate. The KLR 10 system will adjust for differences within
a limited electrical signal range. AOA Probe angle readjustment
may be needed to allow for full scale electronic calibration.
Probe heat is an option and if installed requires approximately 7.8
amps of electrical power at 12 or 24VDC to operate. To extend the
life of the probe heat element, it is recommended that the probe heat
not be used for prolonged periods while on the ground.

2. KLR 10 CONTROLS
2.1 POWER UP SELF TEST
When power is first applied to the KLR 10, the KLR 10 runs through
a built in test. During the test, the segments cycle up and then down
the display. When the test is complete, the segments turn off and the
KLR 10 annunciates “AOA test complete”.

ITEM CONTROL FUNCTION
1 Audio “Mute”
Amber LED
When the LED is illuminated, audio is
muted. When the LED is not illuminated,
audio is not muted.
2 Audio “Mute”
Toggle Switch In the UP position, this switch mutes the
audio and illuminates the amber LED (1)
on the KLR 10 indicator.
In the down position, t
his switch
activates the high AOA warning
annunciations and the amber LED (1) on
the KLR 10 indicator is not illuminated.
3 Calibration
Mode Switch
Rotary switch used to enter calibration
mode
. When the slot is in the vertical
position and the brightness mode button
is pressed one time, the calibration mode
is activated. When the slot is turned to
the horizontal position and the brightness
mode button is pressed one time, the
calibration mode i
s exited and the
KLR 10
unit announces: “Calibration
Mode Off”.
