EFIS Calibration and Configurationlong as 5 minutes. A message will be displayed onscreen: CALCULATING MAGNETICCALIBRATION VALUES.12. Wait for the message CALIBRATION COMPLETE before attempting to use the EFIS-D60 or remove power. Press BACK to leave the menu.This completes the EDC-D10A calibration process. The process can be repeated as often asdesired. The overall accuracy of the compass depends on the installation location (away fromany ferrous materials or current carrying wires or devices), the installation alignment (alignedwith the EFIS-D60 in pitch, roll, and yaw), and the calibration procedure (accurately aligning theaircraft with North, East, West, and South and having the correct magnetic inclination angleloaded into the EFIS-D60). If the compass performance is not adequate for your usage, wesuggest that you investigate each of these factors and try to optimize your installation for eachfactor.If the heading shown onscreen is off by a small, but constant amount, you can change a headingoffset in the EFIS-D60 which will correct this. Orient your plane in a known direction,preferably on a compass rose at the airport. Navigate to the Heading Adjustment menu bypressing SETUP > MAGADJ. Increment or decrement the value of the heading offset until theEFIS-D60 heading corresponds to the direction in which your plane is pointed.Configure Airspeed Color ThresholdsTo configure the airspeed bar color thresholds for your unit enter the SETUP > IASCLR menu.This displays the Airpseed Color Threshold menu. In this menu, enter the values for fiveairspeed constants (Vso, Vs1, Vfe, Vno, and Vne), each of which has its own button. Enter thesevalues in units of knots, mph, or km/h depending on what airspeed units you are currently using(you may change the displayed airspeed units via SETUP > UNITS > IAS).Perform the following steps for each airspeed constant:1. Press SEL to select the digit you wish to increment or decrement.2. Press DEC- or INC+ to decrement or increment the selected digit.3. Press BACK to return to the previous menu.You will not be able to see some of the colors until the aircraft has achieved airspeeds inthe range of each threshold4-4 EFIS-D60 Installation Guide
5. APPENDIXThe appendices contain additional information pertaining to the installation and maintenance ofthe EFIS-D60. You will find here a table of weights, specifications, a configuration table, themaintenance manual, the AOA Pitot Installation Guide, and the Encoder Serial To Gray CodeConverter Installation Guide.Appendix A: Instructions for Continued AirworthinessINTRODUCTIONThis section gives the installer or mechanic information pertaining to maintenance of the EFIS-D60. Additionally, it provides the steps necessary to ensure continued airworthiness for the unit.CAUTIONWith the exception of replacing the Internal Backup Battery, the EFIS-D60 contains no userserviceableparts. Refer all servicing to Dynon Avionics.INSTRUCTIONS FOR CONTINUED AIRWORTHINESSOther than for regulatory periodic checks and an annual Internal Backup Battery capacity test (ifoptional Internal Backup Battery is installed), maintenance of the EFIS-D60 is “on-condition”only. With the exception of the Internal Backup Battery, periodic maintenance of the EFIS-D60is not required.ALTIMETER CHECKThe following test can be performed on an as-needed basis. If the altimeter is found to be out ofspecification, the following single-point adjustment can be performed by navigating the menus toSETUP > ALTADJ. In the Altimeter Adjustment menu, you can change the displayed altitude byup to 500 feet up or down. After making this adjustment, ensure that the altimeter on the EFIS-D60 meets the tolerances allowed between 0 and 30,000 feet. If this adjustment does not bringthe altimeter on the EFIS-D60 to within specification at all attitudes, please contact DynonAvionics to return for service.INTERNAL BACKUP BATTERY CHECKIf your EFIS-D60 has a rechargeable Internal Backup Battery, it is necessary to ensure that thebattery capacity is such that it will last at least 2 hours on a full charge. At least once per year,perform the following test.1. With the EFIS-D60 drawing power from an external source, allow it to charge its InternalBackup Battery above 16.0 volts. Observe the voltmeter (to display, use SETUP >CLUTTR > VMETER). The battery may charge to as high as 16.8 volts, but it is onlynecessary to charge it to 16.0 volts for this test.2. Remove all sources of external power from the EFIS-D60, ensuring that it is operatingoff its Internal Backup Battery.EFIS-D60 Installation Guide 5-1
