Autopilot <strong>Installation</strong> and Configuration<br />
forum.dynonavionics.com – <strong>Dynon</strong>’s Online Customer Forum is a resource for <strong>Dynon</strong> <strong>Avionics</strong><br />
customers to discuss installation and operational issues relating to <strong>Dynon</strong> <strong>Avionics</strong> products. The<br />
Forum is especially useful for pilots with uncommon aircraft or unusual installation issues. For<br />
customers that cannot call <strong>Dynon</strong> Technical Support during our normal business hours, the<br />
Forum is a convenient way to interact with <strong>Dynon</strong> <strong>Avionics</strong> Technical Support. The Forum<br />
allows online sharing of wiring diagrams, photos, and other types of electronic files.<br />
<strong>Dynon</strong> will continue to develop kits and installation instructions for more aircraft based on<br />
demand. It is also expected that aircraft manufacturers will develop their own mounting kits for<br />
<strong>Dynon</strong> servos or offer the <strong>Dynon</strong> AP as a factory option. If <strong>Dynon</strong> does not currently offer a<br />
mounting kit for your particular aircraft, and you would be inclined to assist in developing a kit<br />
and documentation, please send an introductory email message about your interest to:<br />
betatest@dynonavionics.com.<br />
DSAB Firmware Compatibility<br />
All <strong>Dynon</strong> instruments connected via DSAB must be running the same firmware version<br />
(currently version 5.4).This applies to the servos and AP74 as well. Because the servos<br />
and AP74 are updated via the DSAB Bus Master <strong>EFIS</strong> (the <strong>EFIS</strong> that you wish to control<br />
the AP, and from which you run the CONFIGURE DSAB command), wait until<br />
complete mechanical and electrical installation before performing the software upgrade<br />
steps. See Firmware Upgrades Required For AP Functionality on page 6-13 for more<br />
information.<br />
Compass Calibration Critical For Certain AP Modes<br />
The <strong>Dynon</strong> <strong>Avionics</strong> AP requires an accurate magnetic heading to operate efficiently and<br />
comfortably in HDG mode and the radio-based VOR/NAV mode. Therefore it is critical<br />
that the aircraft’s compass be installed correctly, calibrated, and operating well in all<br />
attitudes. If you currently have an <strong>EFIS</strong>-D10A, and are only using the internal magnetic<br />
compass, <strong>Dynon</strong> strongly recommends the installation and use of the EDC-D10A remotemounted<br />
digital magnetic compass, and properly calibrating it per the instructions found<br />
in Chapter 4: Instrument <strong>Installation</strong>.<br />
If the <strong>Dynon</strong> <strong>Avionics</strong> AP will be used exclusively in GPS NAV or TRK modes, then absolute<br />
accuracy of compass data is somewhat less critical as part of AP operation. But if NAV/GPS<br />
data is lost due to an equipment failure, bad data, loss of signal, etc. the AP will “fail over” to<br />
HDG mode, which uses the magnetic compass data as its source.<br />
