Appendix
5-8 EFIS-D6 Installation Guide
• Two plumbing lines (usually ¼” soft aluminum or plastic tubing) routed from the EFIS-D6 to
the probe mounting location.
• Adapters to interface with the 3/16” aluminum tubing from the probe to whatever plumbing
lines are installed in the aircraft (AN919-2D for 3/16 to ¼ , AN819-4D sleeve AN818-4D
nut, AN819-3D sleeve, and AN818-3D nut)
• #36 Drill and 6-32 tap
• AOA Pitot Mounting bracket. Models known to work well include:
o
Gretz Aero CBK12 (Chrome) and PBK12 (Paintable), available at
http://gretzaero.com/mountbracket.html or from Aircraft Spruce.
o
SafeAir1 also makes a bracket with a joggled lip for the RV series. It is available
from
www.safeair1.com .
Please follow these instructions explicitly as improper installation can result in permanent
damage to your device and/or aircraft.
HEATER CONTROLLER WIRING AND MOUNTING
If you have purchased the heated version of the probe, please follow the instructions in this
section. If you have purchased the unheated version of the probe, you may skip to the AOA/Pitot
Probe Mounting section on page 5-11. Please follow these instructions explicitly as improper
installation can result in permanent damage to your device and/or aircraft.
Heater Controller Mounting
The heater controller box should ideally be mounted close to the AOA/Pitot Probe. The box’s
dimensions are found at right, for
reference. When mounting the
controller close to the probe, ensure
that it is close enough for its wires to
mate with the probe’s wires, with
room for strain-relief. If you find it
difficult to mount the controller in
the wing, or simply wish for the
controller to be mounted closer to
the battery, you must extend the
lines using the correct wire gauge as
described in the Wiring section
below.
When the desired location is
selected, secure the heater controller
via the 4 mounting holes. Route the
wiring between the probe, controller, panel, and power source, as described below.
Heated AOA/Pitot Wiring System Overview
The following block diagram depicts the basic layout of the electrical connections between the
probe and heater controller. This diagram should be used in conjunction with detailed
