EFIS-D6 Installation Guide

EFIS Calibration and Configuration
decide if the performance is acceptable to you. If the resultant compass accuracy is not
acceptable, you can either repeat the calibration process attempting to fly the maneuvers more
smoothly, or install and calibrate the Dynon Avionics EDC-D10A Remote Compass.
You will need to repeat this process anytime you move the EFIS-D6 to a new location in your
plane or change the magnetic or electrical characteristics of the nearby environment (i.e. adding
or removing other electrical instruments). Changing geographic location should have no effect
on your heading readings after a user calibration.
Troubleshooting
During the calibration process you may receive one of the following errors. Next to each one is
the corrective action required.

Corrective Action
You have not entered the magnetic inclination
into the EFIS-D6 yet. Please see the “Entering
Magnetic Intensity and Inclination Angle”
section

One of the 3 maneuvers did not take enough
time for the EFIS-D6 to collect enough data.
Please perform just the listed maneuver again,
ensuring that you take at least 2 minutes to
perform the turn.
The EFIS-D6 did not see enough data for the
10 second north-bound section of the turn.
Repeat the listed maneuver, ensuring that you
spend 10 seconds pointed north before
beginning the turn.
The EFIS-D6 did not see a complete 540
degree turn. Repeat the listed maneuver,
ensuring that you turn through the entire 540
degrees, ending up pointed south.
