Autopilot Installation and Configuration Detailed instructions for performing firmware upgrades are contained in the “Help” function of the Dynon Avionics Product Support Program which is available on the Dynon Avionics web site at downloads.dynonavionics.com. If you are using a GPS connected to your Dynon EFIS and will be using GPS as an input for the AP, please upgrade your GPS to the most current firmware available for it. Dynon’s testing has revealed certain incompatibilities with older versions of GPS firmware that are corrected with current GPS firmware. Procedures for GPS firmware upgrades vary by manufacturer; consult your GPS manual for the firmware upgrade procedure. Additionally, some GPS units must be configured with specific settings to work properly with Dynon’s instruments. More detail on compatibility with, and settings for various GPS units is available on the Dynon Avionics web site at wiki.dynonavionics.com. AP Servo Configuration This section guides the installer through all the steps necessary to install, configure, and tune the Autopilot software on the EFIS/servo system. The AP operation functions dealt with here are primarily focused on configuration and tuning. Pilots should consult the EFIS-D100 Pilot’s User Guide for a comprehensive description of AP operation. Note: Before proceeding, verify that power is ON for all EFIS, EMS, HS34, AP74 and servo(s). Note: If your system has more than one Dynon EFIS (that communicates over DSAB), the configuration of most AP functions can only be performed from the EFIS configured as the DSAB Bus Master (see Network Concepts on page 5-1). CONFIGURATION OVERVIEW 1. Configure DSAB (required to be performed on the ground) 2. Servo Calibration & Initial Servo Test (required to be performed on the ground) 3. Roll Servo Initial Setup (recommended to be performed on the ground) 4. Pitch Servo Initial Setup (recommended to be performed on the ground) 5. Disengage/CWS Button Configuration (recommended to be performed on the ground) 6. Audio Alerts Configuration (recommended to be performed on the ground) 7. Prepare for Flight Test (recommended to be performed on the ground) 8. Roll Servo Flight Calibration (recommended to be performed in flight under safe conditions) 9. Pitch Servo Flight Calibration (recommended to be performed in flight under safe conditions) STEP 1 - CONFIGURE DSAB This step sets up the DSAB network so that the EFIS can communicate with the servo(s), optional AP74, and any other Dynon products on the DSAB network. As a safety precaution, while the Configure DSAB procedure is being performed, AP functionality is disabled. On the EFIS, perform the following: 6-14 EFIS-D100 Installation Guide
Enter the EFIS > SETUP > DSAB > CONFIGURATION menu. ARE YOU SURE YOU WANT TO RE-CONFIGURE THE NETWORK Press YES ARE ALL NETWORKED DEVICES POWERED ON Press CONFIGURE NOW PLEASE WAIT DETECTING ALL NETWORK DEVICES Wait up to 1 minute (X) DEVICES FOUND NETWORK CONFIGURATION IS COMPLETE Autopilot Installation and Configuration Verify that this shows the correct number of devices. If not, check wiring and ensure that all expected devices are powered on. Press FINISH Press UP▲ > and then SEL► to select the STATUS menu. The Bus Master EFIS should be displayed, showing active roles and status. Verify that STATUS (at bottom) shows ACTIVE. Press DOWN▼ once for each device in the network. Verify that the STATUS for each device shows ACTIVE. If the status displays UPGRADE REQ, that instrument must be updated to the same version of firmware as the Bus Master EFIS. If the instrument displaying UPGRADE REQ is one or more of your servos and/or AP74 (most commonly when these devices were purchased separately from your EFIS), you must perform the upgrade via the Bus Master EFIS, even if the EFIS is already at version 5.4 firmware. After the above verification, press BACK > EXIT STEP 2 - SERVO CALIBRATION AND SERVO TEST The Servo Calibration procedure identifies the orientation and range of motion of each servo. The Servo Test procedure verifies that each servo is configured properly by moving the control surfaces, and requiring the pilot to verify correct movement. Until this procedure is completed, the EFIS does not display the AP status or operation interface. If Airspeed Color Thresholds have not been configured, Servo Calibration and Servo Test cannot proceed, and the EFIS displays an error message. To configure Airspeed Color Thresholds, see Configure Airspeed Color Thresholds on page 4-4. Note: Servo calibration (SERVO CAL) and servo test (SERVO TEST) is a combined procedure; when Servo Calibration is completed successfully, you are prompted to perform Servo Test. After a successful servo calibration, the SERVO TEST procedure can be performed on its own whenever desired. Note: The following steps assume that two servos are installed to provide AP control of Pitch and Roll functions. If only a Pitch or Roll servo has been installed, skip the non-applicable sections. On the EFIS, perform the following: Enter the SETUP > AP > SERVO CALIB menu. EFIS-D100 Installation Guide 6-15
