2) Laptop with the latest version of the EFIS Support Program installed (to input the
magnetic dip angle into the EFIS.)
3) Magnetic Dip angle known. Refer to the EFIS-D10 Installation Guide or the EFIS
Support Program help files for information about determining the magnetic dip angle and
loading it into the EFIS-D10.
4) The EDC-D10 Calibration Program downloaded from our web site and loaded on the
laptop.
5) An accurate method of aligning the airplane with North, East, South, and West. An
airport compass rose works well.
6) Appropriate cables to connect the laptop to the EFIS.
Once you have the installation completed and verified, a laptop connected to the EFIS-D10 with
the EDC Calibration program, and a place to perform the calibration, perform the following
steps:
1) Turn on the EFIS-D10 and allow it to warm up for at least 15 minutes before performing
the calibration.
2) Start the EDC Calibration Program on the laptop and verify that changing data is being
displayed in the window of the program. Do not be concerned by the message “No mag
cal data detected”; this simply means that you have not placed the unit in the magnetic
calibration mode yet. If no data is being displayed, check if the data is available on one
of the other available COMM ports using the pull down window in the EDC Calibration
Program window. If no data is available on any of the COMM ports, check your cabling
to make sure it is correct.
3) Align the airplane pointing North as closely as possible.
4) On the EFIS-D10, navigate the menus to SETUP->MAGCAL. When you press the
MAGCAL button, you should see the data length change in the window and the message
“Collecting data for NORTH” will appear. A counter will indicate the data is being
stored and after about 15 seconds, a second message “Finished taking data this position”
will appear.
5) Align the airplane pointing East as closely as possible.
6) On the EFIS-D10 press the left most button labeled GNDNRT. The EDC Calibration
Program window will display “Collecting data for EAST.” After about 15 seconds, the
message “Finished taking data this position” will appear.
7) Align the airplane pointing South as closely as possible.
8) On the EFIS-D10 press the 2
nd
from the left button labeled AIRRGT. The EDC
Calibration Program window will display “Collecting data for SOUTH.” After about 15
seconds, the message “Finished taking data this position” will appear.
9) Align the airplane pointing West as closely as possible.
