Instrument Installation• All mounting hardware needs to be made from non-ferrous material such as aluminum,plastic, or brass. Many stainless steel screws are magnetic. If the item is attracted to amagnet, it should not be used in the installation. The EDC-D10A needs to be mounted in alocation as free from magnetic interference as possible. This means keeping the EDC-D10Aaway from any ferrous nuts, bolts, and screws, aircraft tubing, as well as from wires ordevices carrying any appreciable current such as strobe light wiring, autopilot servos, orother electronics.EDC-D10A Communication CableDO NOT ATTEMPT TO POWER UP THE EFIS-D60 WITH THE EDC CABLELEADS EXPOSED (UNSHEATHED) AND NOT INSTALLED IN THE DB9CONNECTOR. SHORTING THESE CONNECTIONS WILL CAUSE DAMAGE TOTHE UNIT.Like the RS-232 PC Communication cable, the EDC-D10A communications cable terminates ina standard female DB9 connector. While they look similar, do not plug the EDC cable into a PCor vice versa. The following table outlines the four connections that must be made to ensureproper communication between the EFIS-D60 and the EDC-D10A remote compass module. TheDynon-supplied harness colors are listed, as well.EFISDB25 pin#EDCDB9 pin# Function Wire color11 5 EDC Data B White/Orange (or Red)12 6 EDC Power White/Blue (or Black)23 9 EDC Data A White/Green (or Green)24 1 EDC Ground WhiteThe EDC cable in the harness supplied by Dynon consists of 4 conductors, surrounded by ametal shield and white insulation. These 4 wires are terminated with crimped female D-sub pinswrapped in plastic tubing. If you are building your own cable, we recommend that you useshielded cable as well.• With the 25-pin EFIS harness disconnected from the EFIS-D60, carefully cut or pull thetubing off the 4 D-sub pins.• Route the cable to the EDC-D10A mounting location chosen according to the instructionsabove.• Install the female pins in the correct holes on the included DB9 connector, according to thechart above.• Install the back shell around the DB9 connector.Correct wiring installation can be easily verified once completed. Power on the EFIS-D60 withthe EDC-D10A connected to it. If you have correctly wired your EDC-D10A wiring harness youwill see the heading properly displayed at the top of the screen (provided you have turned on theheading display in the CLUTTR menu). If wiring is not correct, or the EDC-D10A is notcommunicating properly with the EFIS-D60, you will see the message REMOTE COMPASSNOT DETECTED in place of the heading onscreen.3-2 EFIS-D60 Installation Guide
Instrument InstallationThe metal shield around the EDC communication cable is connected to the short black/whitewire from the DB25. Connect this wire to ground.Power InputsThe EFIS-D60 has two separate power inputs, located on the DB25 EFIS connector. Only MasterSwitch Power is required to operate the instrument. The other input provides redundancy. Belowis a table that explains both power inputs and their purposes. Both inputs share a common groundsignal, wired to pin 3 on the connector.EFIS FunctionDB25pin#1 MasterSwitchPower3 PrimaryGround15 EmergencyBackupPowerEFIS DB25 wirecolorDescriptionRed Provides primary power to the instrument.The EFIS-D60 will switch on uponapplication of power. Connect to a switchedpower source. Will not be adversely affectedby engine cranking.Black Connect to ground. Must carry as much as 3amps.(Not wired inDynon harness)Will operate the EFIS-D60 only if MasterSwitch Power is not present. The transitionfrom Master Switch Power to EmergencyBackup Power will display a warning,requiring you to press ACK within 30seconds to keep the unit operating. Thiswarning will also display when transitioningfrom either Master Switch Power orEmergency Backup Power to Internal BackupBattery power.EFIS Serial HarnessThe EFIS-D60 has one RS-232 serial port that can be used for two purposes. The EFIS Serialport (DB9) is used for:Connecting to a PC to use the Dynon Support Program to perform firmware upgrades,configure checklists, and download internal logs. The Help Files of the Support Programprovide detailed instructions on these functions. The latest version of the Dynon SupportProgram can be downloaded at downloads.dynonavionics.com.• Connecting a compatible GPS receiver to serve as a backup to airspeed in the event of ablocked pitot.EFIS-D60 Installation Guide 3-3
