fact that voltages are being displayed. The EFIS-D10 will alert you when the internal battery is low by displaying a low
battery alert (see
Errors and Warnings below).
G-meter
The g-meter displays the current vertical acceleration experienced by the EFIS-D10
measured in G’s, where 1 G is the amount of force due to the earth’s field experienced by
an object at sea 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-D10 since reset. The middle row, labeled CR, is the
current g-force experienced by the EFIS-D10. The bottom row, labeled MN, is the minimum g-force experienced by the
EFIS-D10 since reset. This last value can be viewed as the maximum negative g-force experienced by the EFIS-D10.
To reset the max and min g-force values to the current g-force value, simply enter the INFO submenu and push the
RSET G button.
VSI (Rate of Climb)
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.
OAT (Outside Air Temperature)
If you have installed the optional OAT/TAS/DA sensor, the OAT function provides you with the current outside air
temperature, true airspeed, and density altitude. The temperature is given in degrees C, the altitude in feet, and the
airspeed in knots. For more information on the OAT function, please refer to the OAT installation and calibration guide
that came with your sensor.
