EFIS Operation

The voltmeter displays 3 rows of information corresponding to the three power inputs on the EFIS-
D100. The first row, labeled M, displays the Master Switch voltage. The second row, labeled E,
displays your optional external backup voltage. The third row, labeled I, displays the EFIS-D100
internal battery voltage. If any of the 3 voltage inputs are not present, 00.0V is displayed for the
respective voltage values. The letter V follows all three values, denoting the fact that voltages are

g’s, where 1 g is the amount of acceleration due to the earth’s field experienced by an object a
level. Positive g-force is defined as upward vertical acceleration, making you feel heavier.
Negative g-force is defined as downward vertical acceleration, making you feel lighter. As can be
seen in the picture, there are three rows of text that make up the g-meter. The top row, labeled MX,
is the maximum positive g-force experienced by the EFIS-D100 since reset. The middle row, labeled CR, is the current
g-force experienced by the EFIS-D100. The bottom row, labeled MN, is the minimum g-force experienced by

To reset the max and min g-force values to the current g-force value, enter the EFIS > INFO menu
button.

The vertical speed indicator (VSI) consists of a single line with your current rate of climb or
descent. If you are currently gaining altitude, an up arrow is displayed to the right of the vertical
speed value. If you are losing altitude, a down arrow is displayed to the right of the vertical speed
value. The units of VSI are feet/minute. Note that in the MO
