The installed IBBS provides back-up power to the Garmin GNS430(W) VHF Communication Transceiver / VOR/ILS Receiver / GPS Receiver, with or without WAAS Navigation, installed on the aircraft under a separate STC. 1.2 Integrated Back-up Battery System Description The IBBS is an electronic system that combines a Lithium-Iron-Phosphate (Li-Fe- PO4) battery pack, a charger and switching logic in one convenient package. The IBBS provides an engineered solution to enable an endurance bus for critical loads found in aircraft. It simplifies the wiring and installation of a source of back-up power by integrating all of the key elements in a single enclosure. Integral to the IBBS is a lithium-iron-phosphate battery pack and a matched charging system to ensure the battery is properly charged and maintained. The system also includes switching circuitry to provide a stable source of output power during normal and emergency operations. The IBBS is available in two models: • IBBS-12v-6ah-CRT – six (6) ampere-hour model • IBBS-12v-3ah-CRT - three (3) ampere-hour model Both models have identical case dimensions and electrical connections. They are mounted in an identical manner. The electrical voltage and current ratings are identical for both models. The only difference between the two models is the number of battery cells internal to the equipment, which determines the battery capacity and weight of the equipment. Either can be installed in the aircraft according to the STC, based on the operator’s need for back-up power. IBBS products are covered by US Patent 8,189,305 1.3 IBBS Installation Description The IBBS connects to the standard aircraft power bus and provides outputs to connected equipment identified in Section 1.1. Additionally, the IBBS provides surge and sag protection for connected equipment, allowing operation of connected equipment during engine starting. The IBBS output is controlled by a Back-up Power Master toggle switch on the instrument panel which directly commands the IBBS to enable or disable output power to connected equipment. The IBBS also provides a signal to a Low Voltage Warning LED on the instrument panel to communicate the operating state of the aircraft avionics bus as well as the state of the battery. Representations of these interfaces are shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2. p/n 725.0008 Rev 1.3 Page 3 © 2018 TCW Technologies LLC Instructions for Continued Airworthiness for IBBS-12V-6ah-CRT and IBBS-12V-3ah-CRT STC Project ST08596NY-A 1.4 IBBS Control and Operation The IBBS is designed to operate with minimal input from the aircraft crew. If aircraft power is available on the IBBS input, the IBBS will activate its battery charger as necessary to keep the internal batteries fully charged. The IBBS may also pass through aircraft power to the connected equipment. If aircraft power is not available on the IBBS input, the IBBS will deactivate its battery charger and may supply back- up power to the connected equipment. The Back-up Power Master toggle switch enables the crew to enable or disable the power output from the IBBS. The normal and emergency operating procedures for the IBBS are explained in Sections 3.0 and 4.0 of the document 725.0005, Pilot Operating Handbook Supplement. The basic operating procedures are as follows: IBBS Start-up 1. Set the Back-up Power Master Switch to ON (Up Position). Ideally, this should be done prior to turning on the Aircraft Master Switch or Avionics Master Switch to verify that the IBBS is able to power the connected equipment. 2. Power on the Garmin GNS 430(W) connected equipment. The connected equipment should operate normally. The Back-up Power Low Voltage Warning LED will indicate a low voltage condition exists on the aircraft avionics bus (LED Illuminated). 3. Set the Aircraft Master Switch and Avionics Master Switch to ON as directed by the existing POH/AFM. The connected equipment will continue to operate normally. The Back-Up Power Low Voltage Warning LED should indicate normal voltage condition (LED extinguished). 4. Start and operate the aircraft according to all other normal operating procedures. IBBS Shut-down 1. Shut down aircraft engine using normal procedures. 2. Set the Aircraft Master Switch and Avionics Master Switch to OFF as directed by the existing POH/AFM. The connected equipment will continue to operate normally. 3. Set the Back-up Power Master Switch to OFF (Down Position). The connected equipment will power down. If the installed equipment does not function as expected in the above procedures, it is possible that either the IBBS is not functioning properly, or there is a problem with the installation. Refer to Section 2.2 IBBS Troubleshooting. p/n 725.0008 Rev 1.3 Page 4 © 2018 TCW Technologies LLC Instructions for Continued Airworthiness for IBBS-12V-6ah-CRT and IBBS-12V-3ah-CRT STC Project ST08596NY-A Figure 1: IBBS Wiring Diagram p/n 725.0008 Rev 1.3 Page 5 © 2018 TCW Technologies LLC Instructions for Continued Airworthiness for IBBS-12V-6ah-CRT and IBBS-12V-3ah-CRT STC Project ST08596NY-A 2 Airworthiness Limitations This Airworthiness Limitations Section is FAA approved and specifies maintenance required under 14 CFR §§ 43.16 and 91.403 unless an alternative program has been FAA approved.

Section 3 Electrical The existing aircraft electrical harness has to be modified to add the IBBS. See drawing p/n 725.0006 for details. The two existing aircraft circuit breakers utilized for the Garmin GNS-430W are repurposed for this installation. A 10-ampere circuit breaker utilized for the Comm function of the GNS-430W is to be relabeled as, “GNS COMM/NAV.” This breaker is re-wired to feed pins 6&7 of the IBBS unit. The 5-ampere circuit breaker previously utilized to power the GNS-430W Navigation and Display functions is repurposed to power pins 4&5 of the IBBS unit. This breaker is to be relabeled as, “IBBS CHARGE.” The wire(s) utilized to provide power to the Garmin GNS-430W on connector P4002, pins 11 and 12, are moved from the previously installed circuit breaker to pin 14 of the IBBS unit. The wire(s) utilized to provide power to the Garmin GNS-430W on connector P4001, pins 19 and 20, are moved from the previously installed circuit breaker to pin 13 of the IBBS unit. The new wiring harness provided in the install kit, p/n 500.0028, accommodates these changes. Additionally, the wiring of the back-up master switch and low voltage warning lamp are directly connected to the IBBS unit via the new wiring harness. Complete all electrical connections and secure wires per AC 43.13-1B. 4 725.0011 rev 1.2 Section 4 Labeling Apply indelible marking to each of the following items to ensure the identification of the function of each item is understood.
