EFD1000 and EFD500 SW v2.X Installation Manual
Special Notes to the Installer

It is important to review the entire Installation Manual before installing the EFD1000/500. The following
items are of special note and should be considered for planning and installation.

1. This manual covers the installation of a single PFD and also covers installations where a PFD is
accompanied by an EFD1000 and/or EFD500 MFD. There are important limitations to the allowable
configurations. To avoid unsatisfactory results, refer to the Requirements and Limitations in Section 5,
Pre-Modification Planning before beginning the installation.
2. The integral EFD1000 ADAHRS uses accelerometer, rate gyro, air data and magnetic inputs to derive the
attitude solution. Airspeed and altimeter maintenance checks will generate warnings on the EFD1000
display and produce changes in the displayed attitude. This is normal.
3. Correct replacement and proper placement of the aircraft instruments is critical to maintain the aircraft
certification. Certain instruments can be removed. More importantly, certain instruments must not be
removed. Installation of an EFD1000 MFD with EBB authorizes removal of standby airspeed and altitude
instruments. In all cases, a standby attitude instrument must be retained. See Section 5.
4. The EFD1000 does not provide a synchro heading bootstrap output. If equipment remains on the
aircraft that uses a bootstrap input and which can not accept a low speed ARINC 429 input from the
EFD1000, then the bootstrap-enabled slaved compass system should be retained.
5. The EFD1000 PFD, EFD1000 MFD and/or EFD500 MFD are powered from the Battery Bus, not the
Avionics Bus. Connection through the avionics bus is not approved, and is not eligible to be approved
as a deviation to the STC. Separate EFD (1000 and 500) master switches are required for each display.
6. The RSM contains magnetic elements that are used to derive the aircraft heading and attitude. The RSM
is sensitive to magnetic fields on the aircraft. Section 6.9 describes how to locate the RSM. Note that
mounting over the cabin can be problematic due to the possibility of passengers using headsets with
magnetic speakers. Exercise the control cables while validating a location. Consider all the magnetic
field variations. A satisfactory RSM location is part of the Final Check Sheet. Use caution when
installing the RSM connector to avoid damaging the connector or wiring.
7. The RSM can be damaged if exposed to a magnet. Do not install the RSM with magnetic tools. Caution:
Some levels have a magnet in them.
8. Structural mounting and lightning direct effects approval for RSM installation on composite, fabric or
aircraft requiring damage tolerance assessment (Certification basis of 14CFR Part 23 amendment 23-
48 or later) aircraft is not included under the AML STC. See Section 6.9.3 for installation inside a
composite or fabric aircraft. Mounting the RSM on a pressure vessel also requires separate structural
approval.
9. Avionics integrations are shown in Section 9. The manufacturers documentation for the integrated
equipment must be used to verify and validate the operation of the integrated equipment.
10. The installer must determine whether the design changes described in this document are compatible
with previously approved modifications.
11. To avoid damage to the equipment, do not place the EFD face down resting on the knobs.
12. The ICA requires installer-supplied wiring diagrams and equipment location information. See Appx. D.
13. Each EFD must be charged before release to the customer. See Section 10.6.19.

3 System Description
The Aspen Avionics EFD1000 and EFD500 systems are multi-purpose displays. The EFD1000
contains an internal ADAHRS that is used to provide attitude, heading and air data for the display.
The EFD500 is a variant of the EFD1000 and does not contain the internal ADAHRS. The EFD1000
and the EFD500 come standard with an internal battery to provide a nominal 30 minute operation
in the event of power loss. These batteries are not designed to provide 30 minute operation under
all foreseeable operating conditions, such as extreme cold temperatures where battery operation is
not assured. An optional Emergency Backup Battery (EBB) is available that will provide at least 30
minutes of operation under all foreseeable operating conditions. Typical EBB endurance at 25 deg
C will exceed two hours when the battery is fully charged. When a PFD is installed, and the
Emergency Backup Battery is connected to an EFD1000 MFD, the legacy standby altimeter and
airspeed indicators may be removed from the aircraft.
Additional equipment is normally installed in support of the displays, including the Remote Sensor
Module (RSM), Configuration Module (CM), optional Emergency Backup Battery (as noted above)
and optional Analog Converter Unit (ACU). Several external sensors can optionally be connected to
the displays, including GPS systems, the Aspen EWR50 XM weather receiver, WX-500 Stormscope,
GTX330 and certain other ARINC 735A protocol TAS and TCAS I systems.
The EFD1000 system can be configured as a PFD or MFD. In the PFD configuration, the EFD1000
provides display of attitude, airspeed, altitude, direction of flight, vertical speed, turn rate, and
turn quality. The system can provide display of navigation information, pilot-selectable indices
(bugs), and annunciations to increase situational awareness and enhance flight safety.
The Pro and Pilot configuration are available in software version 2.1. The Pro System can
display WX-500 data, XM datalink weather products and traffic information from ARINC 735
compatible traffic systems. The Pilot System provides a moving map; however it does not provide
an HSI or second GPS navigation.
The EFD1000 can also be purchased in a multi-function display configuration with reversion
capability to a Primary Flight Display. The EFD500 is a variant of the EFD family that does not
include an ADAHRS. The EFD500 may only be purchased in a multi-function display configuration,
and does not include reversion capability.

3.1 EFD1000/EFD500
The EFD1000/EFD500 are digital systems that consists of a high resolution 6 diagonal color
LCD display, user controls, photocell and Micro SD data card slot. The rear portion of the
EFD1000 includes a non-removable electronics module which contains a full air data
computer, attitude heading reference system, power supplies, backup battery, and dual
processor electronics. Also on the rear of the unit, a fan is provided to cool the backlight and
electronics. The EFD500 does not contain an air data computer or attitude heading reference
system.

EFD1000 and EFD500 SW v2.X Installation Manual
The EFD1000/500 mounts to the front surface of most instrument panels. The electronics
module and cooling fins on the back are sized to fit into existing instrument panel holes. A
recess-mount bracket is available to mount the displays nearly flush with the instrument
panel.
The mechanical design allows the instrument to be installed in a vertically oriented pair of
instrument openings, without interfering with the surrounding instruments. The installation
requires minimal mechanical modifications to most general aviation aircraft instrument
panels.
The EFD1000 and EFD500 contain a microSD card port and reader at the bottom of the display
bezel. When authorized, software updates and system upgrades can be installed using the
card port. The port is also used for database information in the EFD1000 MFD and EFD500
MFD.

Figure 3.1 EFD1000 in a PFD view

The EFD1000 is a digital system and supports both ARINC 429 and RS-232 digital interfaces.
In installations with a modern digital radio installation, the PFD connects directly to the
interfaced equipment.
In installations that require interfaces to analog avionics (i.e., older VLOC navigation radios
and autopilots) an ACU is required to digitize the analog signals into ARINC 429 for the PFD.
The EFD1000 and EFD500 can be installed in the following configurations:
EFD1000 configured as a PFD Pro or Pilot
DOCUMENT # 900-00003-001 PAGE 36-256 Revision G
Copyright 2010 Aspen Avionics Inc.
EFD1000 and EFD500 SW v2.X Installation Manual
PFD Pro plus EFD1000 configured as an MFD
PFD Pro plus EFD500 configured as an MFD
PFD Pro plus EFD1000 and EFD500, each configured as MFDs

The MFDs are connected to the PFD and each other via an RS-232 digital cross-
communications bus.

NOTE: Version 1.X PFD is not compatible with the Version 2.X MFD. To be used in a multi-
display configuration, the PFD must be upgraded to Version 2.X.

3.2 Remote Sensor Module (RSM)
The RSM is required for each EFD1000 and connects directly to the display. It physically
resembles a traditional GPS antenna and follows the industry standard mounting hole pattern.
The RSM contains all of the sensors that must be remotely located from the PFD display unit.
Certain versions of the RSM can be installed on the underside of the aircraft or internally.
The RSM is powered by the PFD through a shielded wire harness and contains the following
sub-systems:
Outside Air Temperature (OAT) sensor
Emergency backup GPS (RSM GPS version)
Magnetic flux sensors

All RSM versions must be mounted in a magnetically quiet environment. The emergency GPS
version of the RSM is mounted in an area that will provide acceptable reception for the integral
GPS antenna. The versions that do not have GPS can be mounted internally to the fuselage or
wing structure, or in the case of the bottom-mount RSM, on the underside of the aircraft.
Internally mounting the RSM requires disabling of the OAT on the associated EFD. This will
also disable TAS and calculated winds for the associated PFD display.
There are three versions of RSM:
Top Mount with Emergency Backup GPS
Top Mount without Emergency Backup GPS
Bottom Mount without Emergency Backup GPS
CAUTION: Do not mount an RSM made for inverted operation on the top of the aircraft as
reverse magnetic sensing will result, producing unacceptable AHRS performance.

EFD1000 and EFD500 SW v2.X Installation Manual
3.3 Configuration Module (CM)
The Configuration Module retains system configuration settings and calibration data. The
Configuration Module connects to the EFD1000/500 through a short fabricated harness and is
fastened to the main wiring bundle of the display.
Each display has an associated Configuration Module that retains that displays aircraft
specific configuration, calibration data and user settings. This scheme permits the display
hardware to be replaced without re-entering the installation settings or re-calibrating the EFD.
3.4 Analog Converter Unit (ACU)
The optional Analog Converter Unit (ACU) provides compatibility with older, analog-based
avionics when required. The ACU converts and concentrates multiple analog interfaces to
digital signals supported by the EFD1000. Control parameters, such as desired heading and
selected course, are also sent from the PFD to the ACU for conversion to analog format for
autopilot support.
The feature set of the Pilot system does not support interface to navigation equipment, and
therefore does not support the ACU interface. The ACU is required when any of the following
capabilities are required in a Pro installation:
Interface to supported autopilots
Interface to supported non-ARINC 429 VLOC navigation radios
Interface to supported non-ARINC 429 GPS navigators
Interface to supported radar altimeter decision height (discrete)

If digital radios (i.e., Garmin 4XX/5XX series radios) are equipped in the aircraft and no other
aircraft interfaces are to be used, then the ACU is not required.

4 Supported Installed Configurations
4.1 Single Display Configurations
The following diagrams show the different options for integrating the PFD and MFD with
existing avionics in the installed fleet. Most common digital VLOC radios (such as the Garmin
4xx/5xx series), and analog VLOC radios are supported. The following diagrams show
common installation configurations, but do not represent all possible combinations.

4.1.1 Pilot Configurations
The following configurations show a basic Pilot installation. The Pilot model does not
support the display of VLOC or GPS navigation deviation, only the GPS flight plan and
position is received and displayed. The Pilot model does not support the ACU and
therefore autopilot interfaces are not available.

4.1.2 Pro Digital Configuration
The following configuration shows a Pro Digital installation, without an advanced
autopilot and flight director. No ACU is required for this installation. This installation
would be used when there is no analog VLOC receiver and the autopilot L/R input is
dedicated to the GPS. The PFD navigation source selection has no control over the
autopilot input. Dual digital radios may also be connected with or without a Tracker
autopilot.

Tracker autopilots that use L/R steering can also be wired to an ACU so that the PFD
displayed navigation source L/R output is switched to the autopilot. These
installations are connected as shown in Figure 4.3.

The mechanical standby altimeter and airspeed indicator can be replaced by the EFD1000 MFD
when the Emergency Backup Battery is installed with the EFD1000.

EFD1000 PFD and EFD1000 MFD with Emergency Backup Battery, or
EFD1000 PFD and EFD500 MFD and EFD1000 MFD with Emergency Backup Battery
Requires:
Standby Mechanical*Attitude indicator
Magnetic Direction Indicator (compass)
IFR GPS connected to each EFD1000 display
Alternate Static Source
Emergency Backup Battery with adequate level of charge, checked before each departure
Instrument Panel Placard installed reading EMER BAT DISPATCH LIMIT 80% - SEE EFD AFMS
*Note: This configuration has been FAA approved under an Equivalent Level of Safety and
requires a mechanical standby attitude indicator.

Important Limitations associated with backup airspeed and altitude instruments:
Your customer must be aware of the limitations associated with replacing the backup altimeter
and airspeed indicator. When the EFD1000 MFD with Emergency Backup Battery is used as the
backup, the reliability of the aircraft electrical system drives the requirement for a backup battery
charge level that will permit operation for at least 30 minutes, even in cold temperatures. This
means the Emergency Backup Battery state of charge must be checked before flight, and if the
state of charge is less than the percentage prescribed in the AFMS, takeoff is prohibited until the
charge level is adequate.
The EBB58 may only be installed in a multiple display configuration and may only be connected
to the EFD1000 MFD. No other connections are permitted.

5.2 Limitations
Software Version
Multiple display configurations must use EFD1000/500 MAP and IOP software version 2.0, or
later FAA approved version. All displays in a multi-display arrangement must be at the same
software revision level.
General Standby Instrument Requirements
FAR 23.1311(a)(5) requires that independent secondary instruments be installed (existing
units may be relocated) for Attitude, Altitude, Airspeed, and magnetic direction indicator
whisky compass when an Electronic Display (i.e., EFD1000) is used as the primary
instrument. These instruments are collectively and individually referred to as standby
instruments throughout this document.
IFR certificated Part 23 aircraft that do not have an existing attitude Indicator must install a
standby attitude indicator along with the PFD as required by FAR 23.1311(a)(5).
In accordance with FAA Policy, the secondary attitude indicator requirement of FAR 23.1311
(a)(5) does not always apply to aircraft limited to VFR. See Section 5.2.8, Special
Considerations for Aircraft Limited to VFR.
The existing outside air temperature probe (if installed) and magnetic direction indicator
whisky compass may not be removed during the installation of the EFD1000 system.
EFD1000 and EFD500 SW v2.X Installation Manual
The 30 minute, internal battery in the PFD is not approved for use as a power source to meet
the electrical power source requirement under 14 CFR 23.1353, or for single engine Part 135
IFR operations under 14 CFR 135.163.

Pneumatic Standby Instruments (See Figure 5.1)
Aircraft with existing pneumatic attitude, altitude, and airspeed instruments may relocate
them as necessary as described in Section 5.2.1. The standby pneumatic airspeed and
altimeter should be connected to an independent pitot and static line (independent from PFD)
whenever available.

Electric Standby Instruments
Aircraft that are all electric must keep the EFD1000 PFD on an independent power source from
the standby instruments as determined from the flow chart of Figure 5.1. The installer must
verify that the standby instruments are electrically isolated from the PFD through either of the
following two methods:
A) Standby instruments are powered by a dedicated standby battery, separate from the
aircraft starter battery, which meets the requirements of FAR 23.1353(h). [Note: The
EFD1000 PFD internal battery does not qualify as an independent battery under FAR
23.1353(h)].
B) Dual independent electrical systems (dual alternators and dual batteries) with the PFD
on one system and the standby instruments on the other system.
The standby, electric attitude indicator must not rely on pitot/static inputs for its operation.
Removal of pneumatic standby instruments and installation of electric standby instruments
(other than the MFD1000) is not authorized by this STC. Separate installation approval would
be required.
The installation of dual independent electrical systems or a standby (emergency) aircraft
battery is not authorized by this STC. Separate installation approval would be required. The
EBB is authorized by this STC.

Using EFD1000 MFD as Standby Airspeed and/or Altimeter (see Figure 5.2)
The EFD1000 MFD may be used as the required standby airspeed and/or altimeter. If being
used as the required standby instrument then the EFD1000 MFD must be connected to the
EBB58 Emergency Backup Battery. The placard must be located near the EFD1000 MFD within
the pilots maximum field of view (see figure 5.3). The placard must be in black and white
(white letters on black background or black letters on white background) in a font no smaller
than other placards in the aircraft which reads as follows:
DOCUMENT # 900-00003-001 PAGE 53-256 Revision G
Copyright 2010 Aspen Avionics Inc.
EFD1000 and EFD500 SW v2.X Installation Manual

The placard requires the EBB58 battery capacity to be verified prior to each flight.
If the aircraft has dual independent electrical systems then the PFD must be installed on one
bus and the EFD1000 MFD must be installed on the other independent bus. If independent
buses do not exist then the PFD and MFD are to be installed on the aircrafts battery bus or
essential bus.
If the aircraft has dual independent pitot/static systems then the PFD must be installed on one
system and the EFD1000 MFD must be installed on the other independent pitot/static system.
Some altimeters have outputs for Baro set and encoded altitude to an autopilot pre-selector,
transponder, traffic system, or other ancillary equipment. Verify no functions are being
eliminated that cannot be replaced from another source (i.e., blind encoder, etc.) prior to
removal of existing altimeter from aircraft.
NOTE: It is advisable to keep standby instruments when space permits

5.2.1 Standby Attitude Positioning
The Attitude indicator must be relocated to a position within the pilots primary
maximum field of view in accordance with FAR 23.1321(a). The requirements are 35
degrees from the pilots center line horizontally ( 21 inches from centerline as
defined by AC23-1311-1b) to an area just below the basic T configuration to the glare
shield vertically (see Figure 5.3 below). It is recommended that the Standby
instruments be mounted in the instrument panel immediately adjacent to the
EFD1000/500 displays, but in no case may they be mounted outside the 35 field of
view requirement.

NOTE: The standby instruments may be 2 inch instruments if they meet the placement
requirements (installed under separate approval).

NOTE: The standby instruments must be collocated with each other. One standby
instrument cannot be 21 inches to the left of centerline and another 21
inches right of centerline. They must all be in the same region of the
panel.



Figure 5.3 Standby Instrument Placement

Also note that some attitude indicators (i.e., KI-256) are the primary pitch and roll
reference for the autopilot and must remain in the aircraft but may be copilot or blind
mounted provided a separate standby attitude indicator is installed in accordance with
this section. For rate based autopilots the Turn and Bank Indicator will need to remain
in the aircraft, and may be relocated to the copilot side or blind mounted provided it is
not used as the autopilot mode controller. If used as the autopilot mode controller
then it must be located where it can be easily reached by the pilot while seated.

Copyright 2010 Aspen Avionics Inc.
EFD1000 and EFD500 SW v2.X Installation Manual
5.2.2 Standby Airspeed and Altimeter Positioning
The airspeed indicator and altimeter must be within the pilots primary maximum field
of view in accordance with FAR 23.1321(a). The requirements are +/- 35 degrees from
the pilots center line horizontally (+/- 21 inches from centerline as defined by
AC23.1311-1b), see Figure 5.4.

Single Display Configuration
In a single PFD installation the existing airspeed indicator and altimeter may remain in
their original location. However, if the original location does not satisfy the basic T
configuration per FAR 23.1321(d) it is required to LOCK the airspeed and altitude
tape in the PFD to ON via the installation menu. Therefore if the airspeed indicator is
not in position (AS) and the altimeter in position (AL) of Figure 5.4 below, then the
TAPES must be locked on so that the pilot cannot de-clutter them from the display
during flight.

Likewise older aircraft panel layouts that do not have the airspeed indicator to the left,
or the altimeter to the right of the attitude indicator (AI) must either relocate the
instrument(s) to these positions or set the TAPES setting to LOCK ON in the
installation configuration menu.

NOTE: The standby instruments must be collocated with each other. One standby
instrument cannot be 21 inches to the left of centerline and another 21
inches right of centerline. They must all be in the same region of the
panel.



Figure 5.4 Basic T configuration
DOCUMENT # 900-00003-001 PAGE 58-256 Revision G
Copyright 2010 Aspen Avionics Inc.
EFD1000 and EFD500 SW v2.X Installation Manual

Multi-Display Configuration

In a two or three display configuration (PFD and one or two MFD), in which an MFD is
positioned adjacent to the PFD, it is required by this STC for the TAPES to be locked on
in the installation menu so that the pilot cannot de-clutter them from display during
flight. This requirement is mandatory regardless of whether the EFD1000 MFD or the
existing IAS/ALT indicators are being used as the required standby instruments.

If an MFD is installed such that separate airspeed and altitude instruments are installed
in the basic T arrangement described above, then the PFD tapes may remain unlocked.

WARNING: Failure to adhere to these specific instrument layout requirements and
EFD1000 configuration requirements will violate the STC.

5.2.3 Directional Gyro/ HSI
The EFD1000 Flight Display will replace the existing Directional Gyro or HSI in the
panel. Provided the existing compass system is not driving a heading input to another
device in the aircraft, it may be removed from the aircraft at the operators discretion.
If another device is bootstrapped from the compass then it will need to be
determined whether RS232 or ARINC 429 heading is accepted by this device and
rewired appropriately. If the other device only accepts ARINC 407 synchro heading
then it may be necessary to keep the existing compass system in the aircraft and move
the indicator to another location.

A magnetic direction indicator whisky compass or equivalent is required as a
secondary direction indicator per FAR 23.1311(a)(5).

5.2.4 Back Up Nav Indicator
For certification reasons a backup navigation indicator is required for at least one type
of operation for which the aircraft is certificated. This means that in any installation in
an aircraft certified for IFR where the EFD1000 is the only display of navigation
information in the cockpit, a backup navigation indicator is required. This will ensure
that a failure of the EFD1000 system does not result in a complete loss of all
navigation data to the flight crew. A backup navigation indicator is not required for an
EFD1000 installation in aircraft limited to VFR.

Thus, for example, an installation that includes a panel mount GPS with an integral LCD
display that includes a moving map or CDI indicator would not require a backup nav
indicator. However, a configuration with no GPS and dual legacy VLOC radios that do
not include an integral display with CDI indications will require a backup nav indicator.

DOCUMENT # 900-00003-001 PAGE 59-256 Revision G
Copyright 2010 Aspen Avionics Inc.
EFD1000 and EFD500 SW v2.X Installation Manual
In a two or three display configuration the EFD1000 or EFD500 MFD satisfies the
requirement for a backup NAV indicator.

If there is already a dedicated indicator wired to an existing NAV Receiver or GPS then
it can be paralleled to the ACU as shown in Section 9.

CNX-80/GNS480
It is not recommended that a backup NAV indicator be connected. If it is desired to
connect a backup navigation indicator then it should only be wired to the dedicated
VOR Composite output on connector P7. Connecting the NAV indicator to the AUX CDI
output on P5 or to the Main Course Deviation output is not recommended.

WARNING: Failure to provide a backup NAV indicator when required will violate the STC.

5.2.5 GPS Annunciators
The EFD1000 is capable of displaying GPS annunciations on the HSI portion of the
display from those ARINC 429 connected GPS receivers that output these labels. If
using the PFD display for any required GPS annunciations verify that the GPS receiver
outputs these messages on the ARINC 429 bus.

GPS Annunciations on PFD (if provided by the GPS):
MSG
WPT
TERM
APPR
INTEG

NOTE: It is up to the installer to determine if the annunciations are sufficient for the
GPS navigation application.

5.2.6 Aircraft Power Requirements
An electrical load analysis must be performed to ensure the installed EFD1000
components do not exceed the current capacity of the aircrafts charging system (see
Section 7.1).

The EFD1000 system uses either an internal battery or an EBB58 to permit operation of
the EFD1000 during an aircraft charging system failure. If the aircraft bus voltage falls
below a nominal 12.3V (14V electrical system) or 24.6V (28V electrical system), and the
indicated airspeed is above 30 knots or mph (as configured), the EFD1000 will switch
to the internal battery. The installer must ensure that the aircraft electrical system
attains the minimum voltage when the electrical system is loaded to flight
DOCUMENT # 900-00003-001 PAGE 60-256 Revision G
Copyright 2010 Aspen Avionics Inc.
EFD1000 and EFD500 SW v2.X Installation Manual
configuration and engine RPM is at or above the level necessary for nominal
alternator/generator output.
The EBB58 may only be installed in a multiple display configuration and may only be
connected to an EFD1000 MFD no other connections are permitted.

5.2.7 Equipment Power Requirements
For first-time EFD installations, a switch or switch breaker to the PFD and to each MFD
must be installed. These controls are used during emergency procedures, and also
enable the PFD and MFD(s) to remain off during engine start. It is recommended that
previous PFD installations that did not include an EFIS Master switch add a switch in the
existing circuit, or replace the existing circuit breaker with a circuit breaker switch. For
multiple installations, the same style of switch/breaker should be used on each EFD.

All MFD and PFD switches must be separate to mitigate against potential single point
failure of both primary and secondary instruments. When not using a switch style
circuit breaker, each circuit breaker(s) must be a trip free pull type and must be
connected to the main battery bus (after the Battery Master Switch) as shown in the
EFD1000 wiring diagram.

The switches should be arranged in the same order as the EFDs. For example, if the
installed EFD arrangement is EFD 500 MFD, EFD1000 PFD, and EFD1000 MFD (from left
to right), the switches should be arranged in that order, from left to right. Alternately,
the switches may be arranged vertically, from top to bottom, in the same order.

If available, connect the ACU to the avionics electrical bus. Otherwise, connecting the
ACU to the switched battery bus is permissible.

5.2.8 Special Considerations for Aircraft Limited to VFR
Relief from the requirement for a secondary attitude reference for VFR aircraft has been
provided in an FAA memorandum dated December 8, 2008, Certification of Electronic
Displays in Part 23 Aircraft Limited to VFR (Visual Flight Rules) Operations; Project No.
SA9024SC-A, Aspen Avionics, Inc. FAA Approved Model List. The Policy within this
Memorandum permits exclusion of 23.1311(a)(5) with respect to the requirement for a
secondary attitude indicator for aircraft limited to VFR.

It is not acceptable to use this FAA Policy to change the established kinds of operations
authorized for a particular aircraft (see 14 CFR 23.1525). Rather, the policy may be
applied for aircraft that are limited by their certification basis to VFR only operations.
Changes to the kinds of operations authorized for any aircraft on the AML is beyond
the scope of this modification and must be established separately.

DOCUMENT # 900-00003-001 PAGE 61-256 Revision G
Copyright 2010 Aspen Avionics Inc.
EFD1000 and EFD500 SW v2.X Installation Manual
The following requirements must be met in order to install the EFD1000 without a
standby attitude indicator in U.S. registered Part 23 aircraft limited to VFR:

The aircraft must have a placard or equivalent acceptable means, stating Operation of
This Aircraft is Limited to VFR Only, or similar phraseology acceptable to the FAA, as
required by 23.1525, 23.1559 and 91.9. Since the kinds of operations will have
been limited to VFR by the aircraft certification basis, this placard should already be in
place prior to installation of the EFD1000/500 system, but should be verified.

For aircraft limited to VFR, magnetic compass information must remain independent of
the aircrafts primary electrical power.

5.3 Conventional Landing Gear tail dragger Aircraft
The following precautions are necessary for installations in aircraft with conventional landing
gear, due to the necessity of initializing the EFD1000 in a tail-down position:

The RSM must be P/N 910-00003-00X, or A-05-111-00, serial number 1301 or
above.
The on ground heading accuracy of the EFD1000 must be within +/-4 degrees. A RSM
shim might be required to meet this tolerance see Section 6.9.9.
See Section 10.5.1.1 for a conventional gear specific RSM calibration procedure.

5.4 PART 135 IFR Operations
The 30 minute internal battery in the PFD is not approved for use as a power source to meet
the electrical power source requirement under 14 CFR 23.1353, or for single engine Part 135
IFR operations under 14 CFR 135.163.

5.5 Setting V-SPEED Textual Markers
Have the aircraft operator complete Operator Configuration Checklist in Appendix C so that
this data is available prior to configuring the system in Section 10. We suggest making a copy
of this form and have it signed by owner/operator, then put a copy in Installation Package.
The V-speeds must be set in the EFD1000 PFD and EFD1000 MFD.

5.6 Optional Interfaces
5.6.1 Autopilot
The EFD1000 Pro with ACU emulates a KI-525A or NSD-360A HSI by providing HDG
Datum, CRS Datum, and navigation L/R outputs to a connected autopilot. Any
DOCUMENT # 900-00003-001 PAGE 62-256 Revision G
Copyright 2010 Aspen Avionics Inc.
EFD1000 and EFD500 SW v2.X Installation Manual
autopilot compatible with the KI-525A or NSD-360A HSI is compatible with the
EFD1000 System.

Similarly, the EFD1000 Pro with ACU emulates the KI-254, KI-256, G-550A, and 52C77
flight director indicators by accepting FD signals compatible with these indicators and
displaying them on the EFD. Autopilots that output a flight director signal that is
compatible with the KI-254/256, G-550A, or 52C77 are compatible with the EFD1000
System.

Section 9 of this document shows interconnect diagrams for common autopilots that
are compatible with the EFD1000. Because the EFD1000 outputs Heading Datum and
Course Datum via the ACU the existing HSI/DG is no longer required to provide this
output to the autopilot.

In addition, some existing autopilots that have only a DG installed (i.e. no HSI) will gain
full HSI features with the installation of the EFD1000 System. Please check the
manufacturers installation data for any jumpers or hardware that need to be added or
removed from the autopilot to add the HSI interface.

When the EFD1000 System is installed, the ACU controls all analog navigation signals
provided to the autopilot. Navigation signal output to the autopilot is switched
depending on which sensor is coupled to the EFD1000 HSI. Therefore the
LT/RT/UP/DN, flags, and ILS Energize must only be connected between the ACU and
autopilot, and there should be no direct connection between the navigation receiver
and the autopilot.

The autopilots flight director output may be paralleled from the autopilot to the
existing Flight Director and ACU so that it is displayed on both instruments. The FD
may also be connected to just the ACU for Flight Director display on the PFD when
there is no existing flight director.

5.6.2 GPS Navigator Basemap Compatibility
Not all GPS navigator outputs are the same. Some navigators provide output to
support curved flight plan segments. Other navigators can only provide the straight
segments of a flight plan, and the curved segments are not depicted. Some navigators
provide an output that result in a straight-line depiction of a curved flight plan
segment, which should not be used. It is possible to connect the navigator in an
incorrect configuration, resulting in potentially misleading information to the pilot.


NOTE: Other GPS navigators have not been evaluated and may be compatible.
Contact Aspen Avionics for information regarding additional navigators.

5.6.3 GPSS
GPS Steering provides a steering command to the autopilot through the HDG Datum
channel to provide for enroute, procedure turn, holding pattern, and turn anticipation
operation. GPSS through the EFD1000 is only available if Label 121 is transmitted by
the GPS over the ARINC 429 bus.

5.6.4 GPS/ NAV Switching
Existing GPS/NAV switching from the GPS and VLOC receiver to the original HSI will be
removed as the PFD will provide this capability. The existing GPS and VLOC receivers
will be wired directly to the PFD or ACU(s) as per the installation drawings in Section 9.
Analog connections from the GPS and/or VLOC receiver to the autopilot will be
removed and wired per the ACU to autopilot interfaces shown in Section 9.

5.6.5 Discrete Output
The discrete output from the EFD1000 PFD is used to drive an altitude reminder
Sonalert. The MFD discrete output is for future use.

5.6.6 Heading Output
It may be necessary to use a digital bus, in lieu of a synchro output, to supply an
external device such as a TAS, TCAS or Stormscope system with heading. Label 320 is
output from the ACU on P3 pins 4 & 5 via a low speed ARINC 429 bus, if no ACU is
installed then label 320 is available from the PFD pins 26 and 27.
Magnetic Heading is also available in RS-232 format from the EFD1000 Air Data
outputs (See Section 5.6.7).


Figure 5.5 Low Speed ARINC 429 Heading
NOTE: The Bendix/King KTA810/910 and KMH820/920 only accept High Speed
A429 heading and therefore are not compatible with this output.

EFD1000 and EFD500 SW v2.X Installation Manual
5.6.7 Air Data Outputs
ARINC 429 air data labels are available from the PFD when no ACU is installed. If an
ACU is installed then an RS-232 connection must be made to the GPS or ancillary
equipment that requires this information. The ACU does not pass-thru air data
information to its output bus. See Section 8 for ARINC 429 air data output
specifications.

The EFD1000 PFD and MFD can each output air data information in an RS-232 format
for specific GPS and ancillary equipment. See Section 8 for RS232 air data outputs in
Format Z and Format C.

The EFD500 does not have an integral air data computer and therefore does not output
air data information.

5.6.8 Second ACU
A second ACU is required when two (2) analog VLOC receivers are installed.

5.6.9 Decision Height
A decision height (DH) input from a compatible radar altimeter may be connected to
the ACU. DH will be displayed on the PFD when decision height is reached.

5.6.10 RS-232 Considerations (existing PFD installations)
Several new RS-232 ports are enabled in v2.X software. When an EWR50 XM received is
added to the installation during a v2.X upgrade, if there is an existing RS-232 GPS
connection this will need to be moved to another port. See Section 9.

5.6.11 Flush or Recess Mounting the PFD
If there is insufficient clearance between the PFD and control column when the flight
controls are in the full nose down position, it will be required to flush mount or recess
mount the PFD in the instrument panel. Also the installer may choose to flush mount
the PFD for cosmetic reasons.
Aspen Avionics Flush Mount Kit
Aspen Avionics offers a specific Flush Mount Kit for this purpose. See Service Bulletin
SB2009-03 document number 991-00018-001 for instructions.
Locally Fabricated Brackets
If the installer chooses to fabricate their own brackets for flush mounting the displays
then this modification is beyond the scope of this manual and will require that the
brackets and the instrument panel modification be separately approved.

5.7 Traffic Sensors
The PFD and MFD systems are compatible with ARINC 735A protocol traffic systems, utilizing
the ARINC 429 interconnection. The following systems are known to be compatible:
Ryan 9900BX - (TAS)
Avidyne TAS600/610/620 - (TAS)
Garmin GTX 330 - (TIS)
L3 Skywatch 497/899 - (TAS)
Bendix/King KTA 870/KMH880 - (TAS)

Additional sensors (including TCAS I) will be added from time to time and will be identified in
subsequent revisions of this manual or in Service Bulletins or Tech Notes. Traffic sensor
control functions are performed using existing traffic equipment installations or other
compatible equipment. TCAS II is incompatible with the EFD1000/500. TCAS II installations
are not authorized.

5.8 Weather Information
The PFD and MFD systems can interface with the following weather information products:
Aspen EWR50 XM Weather Receiver
WX-500 Stormscope Sensor
EWR50 XM Weather
See Aspen Avionics document 900-00007-001 EWR50 Installation Manual for installation
data on installing the complete EWR50 system.
WX-500
The EFD can be configured so that it is the control panel and the display for the WX-500. In
this configuration the EFD will be configured for CONTROL which allows the installer to
configure the WX-500 receiver, initiate various tests, and view system data from the WX-500
via the EFD. The EFD RS232 transmitter and receiver will be connected.
If an existing WX-500 control panel exists and it is desired to keep that interface operational
then the EFD will be configured as DISPLAY and only the EFD RS232 receiver will be
connected.

6 Mechanical Installation
The PFD and MFD installation will require mechanical modifications to the aircraft. The PFD, RSM
(an RSM is required for each EFD1000 installation), and Configuration Module will be installed in all
installations, while one (1) or two (2) ACU(s), and one (1) or two (2) MFD(s) may be installed in
others. Most installations will require removing and relocating existing flight instruments to
alternate locations in the instrument panel to be used as standby instrumentation.

6.1 Unpacking and Inspecting Equipment
Inspect the equipment for evidence of shipping damage. If a damage claim is to be filed save
all shipping boxes and packing material to substantiate your claim.
To avoid damage to the equipment, do not place the EFD Displays face down on the knobs.

6.2 Equipment Location Documentation
It is required by the AML-STC that the PFD, MFD, RSM, CM, and ACU mounting locations be
recorded on Figures D1 and D2 of Appendix D. It is also required that an accurate description
of wire and cable routing be noted on the figures. This information will be required later to
comply with the ICAs. Make a copy of the form and give to owner for inclusion in permanent
aircraft records.

6.3 Log Book Entry
Make a log book entry at the completion of the installation indicating that the aircraft has
been modified in accordance with the EFD1000 AML-STC.

6.5 Installation Limitations
The following mounting limitations must not be exceeded during the installation of the
EFD1000 and RSM.
6.5.1 EFD1000 Installation Limitations
The EFD1000 must be mounted within 20 nose down to -10 nose up of
perpendicular to the aircraft waterline.
The EFD1000 must be mounted within 0.02.0 of the zero degree roll wings level
axis.
6.5.2 RSM Mounting Limitations
The RSM must be mounted within 4 to the longitudinal axis of the aircraft (see
Figure 6.10)
The RSM must be mounted within 10 to the zero degree roll wings level axis (see
Figure 6.13)
The RSM must be mounted within 10 to the zero pitch axis waterline of the
airframe (see Figure 6.11).
RSM must be mounted to a relatively flat surface such that when installed it will not
deform the aircraft skin and must not allow more than a .030 gap between RSM and
skin.
DOCUMENT # 900-00003-001 PAGE 70-256 Revision G
Copyright 2010 Aspen Avionics Inc.
EFD1000 and EFD500 SW v2.X Installation Manual
RSM must not be mounted to a NO ZONE as pictured in Figure 6.7, Figure 6.8, and
Figure 6.9.
Mounting the RSM to, or making other penetrations through, the aircraft pressure
vessel is beyond the scope of this STC. Separate FAA approval of pressure vessel
penetrations required to accommodate RSM mounting is required prior to the
installation of the remaining EFD1000 system components under the EFD1000 AML-
STC.
Mounting the RSM to the exterior of a composite or fabric skinned aircraft structure is
beyond the scope of this STC. To mount the RSM on composite or fabric skin aircraft
structures, separate FAA approval of the RSM mounting is required prior to the
installation of the remaining EFD1000 system components under the EFD1000 AML-
STC.
6.5.3 EFD1000 MFD RSM Limitations (Dual RSM Mounting)
The RSM provides information required for the presentation of attitude, heading and OAT
information for each EFD1000 display. If the EFD1000 MFD is used as backup for attitude
(this is presently not permitted) then the redundant RSMs in a dual EFD1000 display
installation are essential. If there is anticipation that the backup attitude indicator would
eventually be a candidate for replacement by the EFD1000 MFD, then the following would
apply: to ensure the RSM devices would remain redundant.
NOTE: If the EFD1000 MFD is not used as a backup attitude indicator, these RSM
separation requirements are only recommendations, and the minimum separation
for RSMs is six inches, edge to edge.
To avoid possible common mode failures the PFD and EFD1000 MFD RSMs should be
separated by aircraft structure and mounted in different regions of the airframe. For
example, one RSM can be top mounted on the aft empennage region while the other is
internal wing mounted (i.e., old flux sensor location). If this is not practical, the two
RSMs must be separated by a minimum of 12 inches laterally (preferably separated by
dorsal or keel structure), or if lined up longitudinally where one RSM is directly fore or
aft of the other, the separation must be a minimum of 24 inches.

Note that in future software releases it may be possible to remove the mechanical
attitude indicator, provided that sufficient separation exists between the two RSMs.

Although each RSMs wiring to its display is manufactured as individually shielded and
continuous wiring, the redundant RSM wiring is specifically not permitted to share the
same connector, nor the same shield throughout their entire installation.

DOCUMENT # 900-00003-001 PAGE 71-256 Revision G
Copyright 2010 Aspen Avionics Inc.
EFD1000 and EFD500 SW v2.X Installation Manual
A minimum of 12 lateral separation is required for all wiring (with the limited
exception of regions permitting benign bulkhead penetrations) unless physical
partitions exist.
When the EBB58 is installed its wiring harness must also remain isolated/separate from
the EFD1000 PFDs RSM wiring to provide independence. This will ensure that any
physical damage to a particular wiring bundle cannot damage both the PFDs RSM
input and the EBBs ability to provide emergency power to the EFD1000 MFD.

Turbine Compressor Rotor burst considerations (not applicable to most Class I and II
aircraft but included for completeness): If installed in a rotor burst zone the RSMs must
be installed on the top and bottom of the fuselage and not within the multiple
fragment region with corresponding wire routing. If the RSMs are outside of the rotor
burst zone but their wire routing is within this threat area, then only the wiring
installation must include this level of separation.
Bird strike considerations: If not shielded by the shadow of the fuselage, the RSMs
must either be laterally separated or installed on the top and bottom of the aircraft.
6.6 Equipment Bonding
Bond all metal components to the airframe. Prepare bonded surfaces for best contact
(resistance of connections should not exceed 0.003 ohm).
The EFD uses an installer fabricated braided bonding strap to ensure proper bonding to the
panel. The bond strap is attached with supplied screw (3/8
th
inch length) to the back of the
EFD at a location just below and left of static port. The other end of the strap is attached to
the EFD mounting bracket screw at the rear of the panel. Each EFD1000 display must have its
own (i.e. not shared with another EFD1000) bonding strap ground location.
The RSM does not require an RF ground plane, but it must be bonded to the airframe to meet
compliance with DO-160E EMI and lightning certification requirements. Bonding of the RSM is
achieved through the mounting fasteners. The attached ground wire on the RSM is not a
bonding wire but is a shield ground for the pigtail over braid and must be connected to
airframe ground. Each RSM harness shield must have its own (i.e. not shared with another
RSM) bonding location.
The ACU is bonded through its six (6) mounting holes and chassis when mounted to a metal
surface, otherwise a braided or single stranded wire bonding strap to airframe ground will
need to be fabricated for mounting on composite structures.

The optional EBB58 bracket must be bonded to the airframe ground.

EFD1000 and EFD500 SW v2.X Installation Manual
6.7 Cooling
The EFD uses an integral fan for cooling. The area near the fan must be unobstructed to
permit maximum airflow through the unit. Venting and cooling air circulating behind the EFD
will improve heat dissipation and may improve equipment reliability, and is therefore a good
installation practice. The RSM, ACU, Configuration Module, and EBB58 have no cooling
requirements.

6.8 EFD Installation
Mechanical installation of the EFD requires installing the included mounting bracket,
connecting a braided bonding strap between the EFD and panel, and installing pitot and static
connections (EFD1000 only) to the two keyed quick release pressure fittings.
NOTE: To avoid damage to the equipment, do not place the EFD Display face down on the
knobs.
6.8.1 Connecting the Internal Battery (does not apply to 910-00001-002)
The internal battery may be disconnected for shipping and must be reconnected prior to the
Post Installation Flight Check and maintenance release of the aircraft.
Connection of the battery is performed as follows:
1. Remove the two screws that hold the battery cover in place. The battery cover is
located below the 44 pin connector on the EFD cylinder.
2. Remove the battery cover.
3. Plug the battery connector into the mating connector within the battery compartment.
4. Re-install the battery cover. Be careful to avoid pinching the wires with the cover.
5. Re-install the two screws to hold the battery cover in place.
6. Verify Bat: status on page 10 of the Main Menu shows Charging when external
power is supplied to the EFD.
6.8.2 PFD Mounting Location
The PFD must be mounted approximately centered in the instrument panel per FAR
23.1321(d). If the two existing instrument holes that contain the attitude indicator and
direction indicator are not exactly centered, but are the closest instruments to the
center, then that position is acceptable for mounting the PFD.
The PFD can be mounted on the non-pilot (typically right side) side of the instrument
panel if it is not for use by any required pilot during takeoff, initial climb, final
approach, and landing. Backup instruments are required on the pilot side only. See
14CFR 23.1311 and 14CFR 23.1321.

EFD1000 and EFD500 SW v2.X Installation Manual
NOTE: Modification to the existing instrument panel is not authorized under this
STC. Any modification must be approved separately.


Figure 6.1 - PFD Mounting Location

6.8.3 MFD1000 Mounting Location
Since the MFD1000 may become a PFD during MFD to PFD reversion, the EFD1000 MFD
should be positioned adjacent to the right or left of the PFD. If this is not practical or
permitted (such as with Barber Pole airspeed indicators, see note below), then the
EFD1000 MFD must be mounted in the pilots primary maximum field of view in a
position that meets FAR 23.1321(a) if it is to be used as a backup instrument or if the
MFD is for use by any required pilot during takeoff, initial climb, final approach, and
landing. The requirements are +/- 35 degrees from the pilots center line horizontally
(+/- 21 inches from centerline as defined by AC23.1311-1b). See Figure 5.3.
NOTE: Aircraft with V
MO
barber pole airspeed indicators must keep the airspeed
indicator and altimeter in the original positions (to preserve the basic T) and the
airspeed/altitude tapes on the PFD (and reverted MFD) must be locked off. This
will require any MFD to be positioned outside of the airspeed indicator or
altimeter.
NOTE: The standby instruments must be co-located with each other. One standby
instrument cannot be 21 inches to the left of centerline and another 21 inches
right of centerline. The instruments must all be in the same region of the panel.
This applies to the EFD1000 MFD when used as the standby airspeed and altitude
the standby AI must be co-located with the EFD1000 MFD.

6.8.4 EFD Mounting Bracket Installation
The pre-drilled holes in the mounting bracket (see Figure 6.3) support both standard
3 round instrument holes, and 3ATI square cutouts. The bracket is centered on the
upper instrument hole. The lower portion of the bracket is provisioned with screw
slots, allowing variable vertical spacing configurations.

If the lower cutout is a 3ATI or other larger standard cutout, a commercially available
metal blanking plate should be used to flush fill the cutout. Use the EFD Mounting
Bracket as a template to cut the 2.10 diameter cutout for the fan and two 0.150
diameter mounting holes. All cut edges should be treated to prevent corrosion.

Aircraft with tilted instrument panels of 20 or less can install the EFD flat against the
panel. The tilt will later be removed electronically in the system configuration using
the Panel Tilt Pitch Adjustment.

The EFD is attached to the instrument panel in 6 places with MS24693-S30 (#6-32
flathead screws), NAS1149FN632P (washers), and MS21044N06 (#6-32 Nuts). It is also
acceptable to use existing #6 nutplates or equivalent.

1) Burnish the back of the instrument panel around one of the 6 mounting holes to
allow for bracket to instrument panel bonding through the screw/washer/nut.
2) Loosely install the bracket with the upper two mounting screws/nuts/washers as
shown in Figure 6.2.
3) Use an inclinometer on the top of the EFD bracket with the aircraft level to make
this adjustment. It may be necessary to slot the existing holes to align the bracket
in the roll axis.
4) The PFD must be mounted within 0.02.0 of the zero degree roll wings level
axis.
5) Fabricate an 8 bonding strap from braid and two ground lugs. Attach one ground
lug to a mounting screw on the backside of the panel (see Figure 6.4).
6) Install remaining EFD mounting bracket screws and nuts.
7) Tighten all six (6) mounting screws and nuts to 12 in-lbs anchoring the bracket to
the panel.

backside of the instrument panel using one of the mounting screws and nuts. Each
RSM harness shield must have its own (i.e. not shared with another RSM) bonding
location. Verify 3 milliohms resistance to airframe ground at bonding strap
connection point.

Figure 6.4 EFD Bonding Strap Connection

6.8.6 Pitot and Static Connections (EFD1000 only)
Pitot and Static connections are made to the EFD1000 via two keyed quick connect
fittings. These connections will typically require a T fitting to be installed in-line with
the existing altimeter and airspeed indicators.

The quick connectors are keyed such that they cannot be interchanged. Once the
correct quick connector is fastened to the pitot and static lines, they cannot be
inadvertently swapped on the rear of the EFD unit.

Installations that include an EFD1000 MFD require that there be an alternate static
valve accessible to the pilot while seated in the normal position. Installation of an
alternate static valve is outside the scope of the EFD1000 STC.

If the aircraft has dual pitot/static systems then connect the PFD to one system and the
EFD1000 MFD (if installed) to the other independent pitot/static system.

NOTE: The pitot quick connector will fit on the EFD static port but the static quick
connector cannot be inadvertently connected to the EFD pitot port due to
the keying.

Each connector has a 0.256 diameter barbed fitting that accepts a hose.

6.8.7 Quick Connector Installation
1) Insert T fitting into existing aircraft Pitot line and secure with Aero Seal 6604 or
equivalent hose clamp (see Figure 6.6).
2) Connect a length of pitot line tubing between the T fitting and the P quick
connector. Verify the length of tubing can be installed with no drip loop and that it
can be secured away from flight controls. Secure each end with Aero Seal 6604 or
equivalent hose clamps.
3) Insert T fitting into existing aircraft Static line and secure with Aero Seal 6604 or
equivalent hose clamp (see Figure 6.6).
4) Connect a length of static line tubing between the T fitting and the S quick
connector. Verify the length of tubing can be installed with no drip loop and that it
can be secured away from flight controls. Secure each end with Aero Seal 6604 or
equivalent hose clamps.
5) Secure pitot and static lines as necessary to prevent interference with other aircraft
structures and components.

CAUTION: Secure pitot and static lines so that they will not interfere with flight
controls and are not at risk of mechanical damage.

6.9 RSM Installation
CAUTION: The RSM is an integral part of the attitude function of the AHRS. A stable and
magnetically quiet location for the RSM is essential for proper AHRS operation.
CAUTION: There are special considerations for mounting the RSM on composite, fabric and
pressurized aircraft. See 6.9.2 and 6.9.3.
There are three versions of RSM available for mounting in different orientations. The 001
version includes an internal emergency use GPS and is generally for external top mounting,
although may also be internally mounted. The 002 version does not include the internal GPS
and is for external or internal mounting in a top-mounted orientation. The 003 version also
does not include the internal GPS and is for external or internal mounting in a bottom-
mounted orientation.
NOTE: If the RSM is mounted internally the OAT sensor must be disabled which will result
in no TAS and wind display. If the RSM is mounted on the bottom, or internally
mounted in an aluminum aircraft, then the emergency GPS sensor will be disabled.
The RSM includes magnetic flux sensors which is why it is important to locate the RSM as far
away from the cabin and baggage (or hat rack) compartment as practical as these areas may
have varying magnetic fields (baggage, passengers, etc.).
The RSM should not be mounted within 18 inches of a VHF Comm antenna, 6 inches of a GPS
or ELT antenna, or within 12 inches of an active traffic antenna or DME antenna.
The RSM should be mounted to a relatively flat surface such that there is less than .030 gap
surrounding the RSM when installed. The RSM must not be mounted to an excessively curved
area which could deform the RSM or aircraft skin.
The RSM must not be mounted within a composite fairing such as a fiberglass wingtip cover,
or vertical fin cover as these do not protect against direct lightning effects.
RSM External Top Mounting
See Figure 6.7. The RSM is typically installed near the tail of the aircraft on an unpressurized
portion of the airframe. To take advantage of the OAT sensor and internal GPS (-001 only) the
RSM must be mounted on the top outside of the airframe. Any RSM may be mounted
internally if an outside location is impractical. Whenever an RSM is internally mounted, the
OAT must be configured off and the internal GPS (-001 only) may need to be disabled if GPS
signal reception is problematic.
For a top external mount the preferred RSM installation area is a minimum of 12 inches
behind a typical baggage or (hat rack) compartment to no closer than 39 from the end of the
fuselage. The Less Preferred areas over the cabin should only be selected if impossible to
find an acceptable location within the Preferred area of Figure 6.7.
EFD1000 and EFD500 SW v2.X Installation Manual
Unlike a GPS antenna that is used for primary navigation, the backup GPS usage and inherent
sensitivity do not require a full view of the sky. Therefore, the vertical stabilizer may partially
mask the antennas view of the sky/horizon. Installation on either side of the vertical fin is
acceptable.
When externally mounted, the NO ZONE areas are hot zones for a lightning strike and are not
to be used for mounting the RSM. The RSM must not be mounted externally to the wing, the
top of the vertical stabilizer, the horizontal stabilizer, the fuselage forward of the cabin, or
within 39 of the tail as measured from the fuselage aft end as shown.
If it is impossible to find a suitable external mounting location in the preferred area, and
internal mounting is not possible, it may be permissible to mount the RSM above the cabin.
A location will need to be found that is a minimum of 18 inches from any small cabin speakers
or electronic device that can cause compass fluctuations. Large cabin speakers may cause
RSM interference at distances up to 3 feet. Use the procedure in Section 6.9.1 to locate a
quiet area. During operation of the electrical systems concentrate on those devices that are in
the cabin and within the headliner. Be aware that headsets and other items worn by and
operated by the flight crew and passengers could potentially interfere with the RSM. Typically
this would be when the headset is within 12 of the RSM location. Find a location that cannot
be affected by passenger and flight crew headsets while seated or moving about the cabin.
RSM Internal Mounting
With software version 2.X it is also possible to internally mount the RSM within an area of the
aircraft fuselage or wing structure that is magnetically benign. For aluminum aircraft, the RSM
may be mounted anywhere inside the aluminum structure.
For composite or fabric covered aircraft, the RSM must not be mounted forward of the
windscreen, or within 39 of the aft end of the fuselage. It may be mounted within the wing
but no closer than 39 of the wingtip. It must not be mounted within the horizontal stabilizer,
or within the vertical stabilizer. See Figure 6.8.
NOTE: If internally mounting the RSM a mounting plate must be locally fabricated and
approved separately. All mounting instructions for a magnetically quiet location
still apply.
RSM External Bottom Mounting
Figure 6.9. The003 version of the RSM is designed for external bottom mounting. This
version may be mounted to any magnetically quiet area on the underside of the fuselage.
Mounting this RSM to the underside of an aerodynamic surface, such as the wing or the
horizontal stabilizer is not approved. Any location that results in the OAT sensor becoming
heated from engine exhaust requires that the OAT sensor be disabled in configuration menus.
See Figure 6.9.

Figure 6.9 - RSM-003 External Mounting Locations (Bottom view)

6.9.1 Proposed RSM Location Check
The installer must determine the best RSM location given the above factors. A
navigation quality handheld compass (i.e., hiking compass) can be used to find a
magnetically quiet area free from the effects of magnetic disturbances from flight
controls, autopilot servos, strobes, or any other large magnetic field appliance.

The RSM can detect magnetic fields in three dimensions. This means that magnetic
influences below the RSM can also affect performance. Be sure to evaluate potential
magnetic influences above and below the RSM.

DOCUMENT # 900-00003-001 PAGE 84-256 Revision G
Copyright 2010 Aspen Avionics Inc.
EFD1000 and EFD500 SW v2.X Installation Manual
NOTE: Changes to the magnetic field around the RSM can affect the RSM
calibration and require revalidation of the RSM performance.

Known sources of interference include (but are not limited to) the following types of
material located near the RSM (normally, these materials within 12 inches can cause
interference):

a. Steel-wound hose (e.g. SCAT tube)
b. Steel hose clamps
c. Magnetized or magnetic hardware
d. Servos
e. Trim motors
f. Poor bonding of electrical connections
g. Blower motors

Place a small handheld compass in the proposed RSM mounting location and move the
compass around the location looking for needle deflection. There should be no more
than 2 of compass needle movement within an area 18 x 18 around the proposed
location. Should the compass show excessive needle movement it will be required to
find a new location or, if feasible, treat the affected area with a degaussing coil.
Contact Aspen Avionics product support for information on obtaining or using a
handheld degaussing coil. A degaussing coil can be purchased at most audio and
video stores.

Operate flight controls from stop to stop and verify no more than 2 of compass needle
movement. Should the compass show excessive needle movement it will be required
to find a new location or degauss the flight control cables and or flight control
hardware.

Operate all electrical systems. The compass needle should not deflect more than 2
degrees during testing.
If a location cannot be found with less than 2 degrees of deflection then the electrical
device causing the interference will need to be determined. The device causing the
interference may need to be re-bonded or the wiring may need to be relocated.

If the compass does not show any deflection from electrical or mechanical sources then
that location should be acceptable to mount the RSM.

6.9.2 Pressurized Aircraft
On pressurized aircraft it will be necessary for the RSM wiring to penetrate the aircraft
pressure vessel. The installer is responsible for obtaining proper documentation and
DOCUMENT # 900-00003-001 PAGE 85-256 Revision G
Copyright 2010 Aspen Avionics Inc.
EFD1000 and EFD500 SW v2.X Installation Manual
FAA approvals from either the airframe manufacturer or from a DER or FAA field office
for any penetrations of the pressure vessel or bulkhead.

CAUTION: Penetration of the pressure vessel is not approved under this STC and will
require separate approval.

CAUTION: Mounting the RSM on the pressure vessel is beyond the scope of this STC
and requires separate approval.

6.9.3 RSM mounting on Composite, Fabric or Damage-Tolerant Design Aircraft
Approval for the structural aspects of mounting the RSM to a composite or fabric
skinned aircraft, including consideration for the direct effects of lightning, is beyond
the scope of the EFD1000 AML STC. Separate FAA approval for structural and lightning
direct effects considerations is required before mounting the RSM on these aircraft
types.

RSM installation on aircraft certified to 14CFR Part 23 Amendment 23-48 or later (such
as the Gippsland GA-8) must be evaluated for damage tolerance. Therefore the
installation of the RSM on these aircraft is beyond the scope of this manual and
requires separate approval.

The installation information for the RSM in this manual is satisfactory to meet the
requirements for the direct effects of lightning for all metal aircraft.

It is not possible to determine the lightning direct effects on equipment mounted
internally in composite and fabric aircraft. Therefore, the only acceptable areas for
RSM internal mounting are shown in Figure 6.8. The same bonding requirements for
an external mounting must be adhered to.

Though separate approval must be obtained for the RSM structural and, in the case of
fabric and composite aircraft, lightning direct effects; installation of the remaining
EFD1000 system components is approved under the EFD1000 AML-STC. This includes
HIRF and lightning induced transient susceptibility approval of the EFD1000 system
installation (i.e. display, RSM, CM, ACU, and associated wiring).

Each RSM harness shield must have its own (i.e. not shared with another RSM) bonding
location.

6.9.4 Second RSM Placement (MFD1000)
Use the EFD1000 MFDs RSM mounting limitations in Section 6.5.3.

6.9.6 RSM External Mount Aluminum Skin
This STC approves the use of the doubler shown in 6.15 for Aluminum Skinned aircraft
only. Mounting the RSM to a composite or fabric aircraft is not approved by this STC
and will require that the installer obtain separate approval of the RSM mounting on
these classes of aircraft. After the RSM mounting has been approved, this STC may be
subsequently installed.

The doubler is to be fabricated by the installer using the dimensions and rivet holes as
shown. Should the installer wish to deviate from this doubler in size, rivet count, rivet
spacing, or doubler thickness, they are required to seek separate approval.

6.9.6.1 RSM Doubler Fabrication
1) Determine the thickness of aircraft skin.
2) For aircraft skins 0.050 thick and less the doubler should be made from 0.050
material. For aircraft skins thicker than 0.050 the doubler should be made from
material the same thickness as the skin.

3) Fabricate the doubler from 2024-T3 AMS-QQ-A-250/5 to the dimensions in Figure
6.15, Tolerances 0.030

4) Remove burrs and break sharp edges (0.005 0.015)
5) Finish with Alumiprep Etch and Alodine Conversion Coating, or equivalent.
6) Mask around the four (4) mounting holes the diameter of the mounting washers or
1/2" on the down side of the doubler (see Figure 6.16). Prime that side with epoxy
primer per MIL-P-23377 or equivalent. Do not prime the side that faces the aircraft
skin. This allows for a doubler to aircraft skin bond and mounting washer to
doubler bond.
7) Mark forward direction on doubler because pattern is not symmetrical.
8) Using the doubler as a template match drill holes in aircraft fuselage at location
determined from Section 6.9.1. Doubler must be aligned to the longitudinal axis of
the aircraft to within 4 (see Figure 6.10).


Figure 6.16 - Masking of Doubler


9) Remove burrs and break sharp edges on the aircraft skin (0.005 0.015)
10) Burnish the aircraft skin on the inner surface in the area where the doubler will
mount. Apply Alodine 1201 and do not prime.

11) Mount a ground stud to the doubler for attachment of the RSM shield wire. Use an
MS24693-C52 #8-32 flathead screw and AN364-832A locknut or equivalent as
shown.




Figure 6.17 - Ground Stud Mounting

12) The doubler is attached to the inside surface of the aircraft skin with solid rivets.
For aircraft skin less than 0.032 thick install with MS20470AD4 protruding head
rivets.
For aircraft skin thickness of 0.032 install with NAS1097AD4 rivets flush in the
fuselage skin. Carefully control the countersink depth to not knife edge the
fuselage skin.
For aircraft skin thicknesses 0.040 to 0.050 install with NAS1097AD4 rivets
flush in the fuselage skin.
For aircraft skins 0.063 or thicker install with NAS1097AD5 rivets flush in the
fuselage skin.
13) Verify that the ground stud has 3 milliohms to ground.

6.9.7 RSM Internal Mount
The installer must use a suitable existing shelf or fabricate a suitable mounting bracket
for internally mounting the RSM. Use AC43.13-2B Chapter 1 for additional structural
data.

6.9.8 RSM Installation
CAUTION: Do not use a magnetic tipped screw driver to mount the RSM as this may
magnetize the RSM and cause heading errors.
CAUTION: Only use stainless steel or brass mounting hardware (i.e., screws, nuts,
washers, nutplates) to mount the RSM. Use of any other ferrous screws or
hardware may cause compass errors.

1) It is not required to remove aircraft surface paint below RSM unless an aluminum
shim was required on extreme mounting angles. The shim must be bonded to the
fuselage. Bonding of RSM is through four (4) mounting screws to doubler.
2) Install ring terminal to RSM shield ground wire.
3) Install RSM on aircraft and secure using four (4) screws, four (4) washers, and four
(4) nuts as identified below. Installer may substitute nut plates for washers and
nuts provided the nutplates are attached to the doubler only and not the aircraft
skin. Nutplates must be stainless steel and non-ferrous.

6) The shim must be bonded to the aircraft skin by removing the paint and prepping
the aircraft surface where the shim and RSM will be mounted. Remove paint
inside the outer footprint of the RSM mounting location. Burnish the aircraft skin
and apply Alodine 1201, do not prime.

7) Sandwich the shim between the aircraft skin and the RSM following the RSM
installation procedure in Section 6.9.8.

8) Apply non corrosive sealant around shim and RSM.

6.10 ACU Installation
The ACU has no user interface, and therefore can be remote mounted. The optimum
mounting location is an area that minimizes wire runs to interfacing equipment. This typically
means near the autopilot computer if installed.

When mounting the ACU find a location in the aircraft of known load carrying capabilities such
as:
Existing Avionics Shelf
Baggage compartment
Radio Rack
Cockpit Floor

6.10.1 ACU Mounting
Mount ACU to existing shelf in any orientation using six (6) MS35206 #6-32 screws,
six (6) NAS1149FN632P washers, and six (6) MS21044N06 #6-32 self locking nuts or
equivalent. Tighten nuts to 12 in-lbs.

An unpainted surface of the ACU case must be bonded to aircraft ground either
through mounting to a metal shelf or with an installer fabricated bonding strap of wire
braid or single stranded wire no more than 12 inches in length. Attach ground lug of
bonding strap to one of the mounting screws if required.

Verify ACU case to airframe ground has 3 milliohms of resistance.

Should a shelf or bracket need to be fabricated in order to install the ACU it is beyond
the scope of this STC and will require separate FAA approval for that modification.

6.12 EBB58 Emergency Backup Battery Installation
The EBB58 has no user interface so it can be remote mounted. A location within the cabin will
need to be selected so that it can be securely mounted and still be close enough to the
EFD1000 MFD to fall within the maximum cable length. It should not be mounted where it can
be disturbed by the occupants.
The EBB58 must be mounted within the temperature controlled part of the aircraft. It must
not be mounted to the firewall. The battery warms during operation and therefore should not
be mounted under a seat.
The installer must use an existing shelf with suitable load carrying capabilities or fabricate a
suitable mounting bracket for mounting the EBB58. Use AC43.13-2B Chapters 1 for additional
structural data.

breaker and switch on Figure D3 of Appendix D.


ACU (optional)
A two (2) amp pull type circuit breaker for the ACU must be installed in a location accessible
to the pilot while seated. Wire the power source from the avionics bus (switched battery bus if
no avionics bus exists). The breaker is to be labeled ACU or ACU #1 in a dual ACU
installation. If a second ACU is installed it will require its own two (2) amp breaker labeled
ACU #2. Record the location of circuit breaker(s) on Figure D3 of Appendix D.
EBB58 (optional)
The EBB58 connects via a prefabricated harness to the back of the EFD1000 MFD (P/N 910-
00001-002 only). A Locking Toggle switch rated for at least 0.5A continuous duty must be
installed in a location accessible to the pilot while seated. The switch must be labeled EBB
EMER DISC and have a DISC and NORM position. The NORM position is when the switch is
in the open position. The switch will be connected to the EBB D-sub connector as shown in
Figure 7.5. Record the location of the switch on Figure D3 of Appendix D.


Miscellaneous Wiring
Use of MIL-C-27500 shielded wire and MIL-W-22759 single conductor wire is recommended.
All wires should be fabricated as shown in Section 9 keeping all grounds as short as possible.
Wires and connectors must be clearly marked per FAR 23.1365(d).
DOCUMENT # 900-00003-001 PAGE 104-256 Revision G
Copyright 2010 Aspen Avionics Inc.
EFD1000 and EFD500 SW v2.X Installation Manual
Wires and wiring bundles must be secured in such a way to eliminate risk of mechanical
damage and minimize exposure to heat and fluids per FAR 23.1365(e).

7.2.1 HIRF/Lightning Requirements
In order to meet HIRF and Lightning requirements it is required that the following cable
runs use either an over braid applied during fabrication or double shielded wires. The
over braid or double shield should extend within the back shell and must be grounded
at both ends.

All ARINC 429 and RS-232 wiring into or out of the EFD require either a double
shielded wire or a tinned copper over braid be applied over the twisted shielded
pair. See Figure 7.1 below and NOTE 1 on Wiring Diagrams 9.4 through 9.14.



Figure 7.1 Over Braid/ Double Shield Requirements
DOCUMENT # 900-00003-001 PAGE 105-256 Revision G
Copyright 2010 Aspen Avionics Inc.
EFD1000 and EFD500 SW v2.X Installation Manual
The following wires require single shields to comply with HIRF and Lightning
requirements:

Aircraft power to the EFD requires a single stranded shielded wire from circuit
breaker to EFD. See Figure 9.1.
The discrete output from the EFD to the Sonalert (or relay) and the power wire
from circuit breaker to Sonalert (or relay) require a single stranded shielded wire.
See Figure 9.1.
EFD to Configuration Module comes as an assembly with color coded wires and
uses an over braid over non-shielded single conductor wires.
EFD1000 to RSM wiring does not require the over braid or double shield, only what is
specified in Section 7.2.3.

ACU to GPS, ACU to VLOC receiver, and ACU to autopilot require no additional
shielding just what is specified in the wiring diagrams of Section 9.

7.2.2 EFD to GPS/VLOC/ACU Wiring
Use tinned copper over braid or double shielded wires on all ARINC 429 and RS-232
wires entering or exiting the EFD back shell. Ground the over braid and wire shields
within the back shell. If using double shielded wire it may be difficult to terminate all
shields within the back shell. If this is the case then use a piece of tinned copper over
braid that extends at least 6 inches outside the back shell to cover all unshielded
wires(see Figure 7.2).




Figure 7.2 EFD Back Shell Grounds

At the GPS/VLOC/ACU terminate the over braid within the back shell or as close as
possible. Ground the over braid at this end using a pigtail as short as possible. If
using double shielded wires then ground both shields at the GPS/VLOC/ACU with
pigtail as short as possible.

7.2.3 RSM Wiring
The EFD1000 to RSM wiring run is made with a single cable seven (7) conductor
shielded wire. M27500-A24SD7T23, M27500-22TG7T14 or equivalent 22 or 24AWG
seven (7) conductor shielded cable can be used.

Assembly using M27500-A24SD7T23 or equivalent Cable:
Terminate the aircraft side of the RSM wiring with the Hirose circular connector from
installation kit as shown in Figure 7.3 below. Due to the compact design of the Hirose
connector it may be easier to solder the wires to the solder cups on the bench versus
inside the tail of the aircraft. Use a fine tip soldering iron for this procedure.

1. Pass the cable through the hood and metal cover. Strip back the insulation to
expose the shielding and wires with the dimensions that are shown.
2. Stake the metal clamper to the shield in the location shown. A hexagonal crimper
such as the ones used for BNC Coax connector assembly work can be used to
crimp it to approximately 5.2mm outside diameter.
3. Assemble the two pieces of the connector such that the solder cup piece is retained
by the ring. Discard the washer as it is not required.
4. Solder the seven (7) 24 AWG wires to the connector.
5. Thread metal cover onto connector.
6. Insert screw into metal cover so that it indents into metal clamper.
7. Put hood over metal cover.

7.2.5 ACU Wiring
Wire the ACU as shown in Section 9 keeping all grounds as short as possible. No
additional HIRF shielding is required. The ACU case must be grounded to airframe
ground for proper operation.
7.2.6 Back Up NAV Indicator Wiring
Wire the Nav indicator as shown in Figures 9.24, 9.25, and 9.26. Do not parallel more
than one NAV Indicator to each ACU. When paralleling the wiring make the splice is as
close to the navigation receiver as practical. Do not splice the connection at the back
of the NAV indicator.
7.2.7 Autopilot Wiring
Wire the autopilot to ACU as shown in Section 9. Remove any existing connections and
switching between GPS and NAV receivers to autopilot. Only ARINC 429 wiring may
remain between the GPS and autopilot for NAV mode GPSS. The ACU will perform all
switching functions to autopilot for GPS1, GPS2, NAV1, NAV2.
7.2.8 EBB58 Wiring
The EBB58 Wiring harness comes prefabricated with connectors both at the battery and
the MFD end. The twisted pair for the Emergency Battery Disconnect switch should be
cut to length and connected across the required SPST locking toggle type emergency
battery disconnect switch. Optionally a SPST switch and integral guard may be
installed in place of the locking toggle switch. The guard would be installed so the
switch is normally open. When the guard is lifted and the switch is enabled, the switch
will close, disconnecting the relay in the EBB. The shield is not grounded at the switch
end.

DOCUMENT # 900-00003-001 PAGE 109-256 Revision G
Copyright 2010 Aspen Avionics Inc.
EFD1000 and EFD500 SW v2.X Installation Manual
The switch must be installed in a position so that is accessible to the pilot while
seated. Be sure the switch guard can remain open so the guard does not return to the
resting position and inadvertently open the switch.

NOTE: When in the DISC position, the EBB Emergency Disconnect switch
energizes a relay powered by the EBB. Thus, when the switch is in the
DISC position, the Emergency battery will gradually discharge through the
relay.

Plug prefabricated wiring harness in to EBB58 and secure the connector by tightening
the jackscrews. Connect the other end to the back of the EFD1000 MFD (P/N 910-
00001-002 only) and secure the connector by tightening the jackscrews. The EBB
battery cable must be routed separately from the MFD main power wiring and the PFD
RSM wiring.

EFD1000 and EFD500 SW v2.X Installation Manual
9 Installation Wiring Diagrams
The following Section contains wiring diagrams for common interfacing equipment to the PFD,
MFD, ACU, RSM, and Configuration Module. Although the list of interfacing equipment is quite
extensive it does not cover all compatible equipment. For interfaces that are installed but not
shown it is required by the ICAs that a drawing be made and inserted into Appendix D of this
document. All other drawings used from this section by the installer must be copied and inserted
into Appendix D.
There will be some GPS receivers not shown on these drawings that will be compatible with the
EFD1000 system. The EFD1000 is compatible with ARINC 429, RS-232, and analog GPS receivers.
For flight plan information to be presented on the PFD an RS-232 or ARINC 429 interface is
required. Should an RS-232 or ARINC 429 bus not be available or incompatible then the GPS can
still be connected to the EFD1000 system using analog signals to drive the HSI deviation
indications. In this situation, GPS flight plan data will not be available. It will be up to the installer
to verify the interface is fully functional by performing a complete ground check of the system.
There are also VLOC receivers not shown in these drawings that can be connected either by ARINC
429 to the PFD or through VOR composite video into the ACU. Any radio with a nominal output of
0.5Vrms VOR or 0.35Vrms Localizer composite video format are supported. It will be up to the
installer to verify the interface is fully functional by performing a complete ground check of the
system.
The EFD1000 Pro with ACU emulates a Bendix King KI-525A and NSD-360A HSI by providing
outputs for HDG Datum and CRS Datum to an autopilot. The EFD1000 is compatible with any
autopilot that is compatible with a KI-525A or NSD-360A HSI. Should connections be made to an
autopilot not shown in these drawings the installer must verify the interface is fully functional by
performing a complete ground and flight check of the system per the autopilot manufacturers
installation manual or maintenance instructions.
The EFD1000 Pro with ACU also emulates the Bendix King KI-254/256, ARC G-550A, and Century
52C77 flight director indicators. All autopilots that output flight director signals that are KI-
254/256, G-550A, or 52C77 compatible are also compatible with the EFD1000 flight director
display.
To begin planning the electrical installation, select the drawing in the list below preceded by an *
that matches the aircraft equipment configuration, and then wire as shown. GPS1, GPS2, NAV1,
NAV2, and the autopilot are options on each page. Simply make the connections to the equipment
you plan to install and omit the units from the drawing you dont. You will configure the system
later based upon the Configuration ID#s shown in the Configuration Matrix on each drawing.
Aspen Avionics Inc. uses the terms GNAV when referring to a combination GPS/VLOC Receiver
with an integral CDI source select (i.e., GNS-430), GPS for a standalone GPS Receiver (i.e., GNS-
400, KLN90B), and VLOC for stand alone VOR/Localizer equipment (i.e. KX-155, SL30).

NOTE: Although the drawings show the complete interface of connected equipment to the
EFD1000 System, they do not show the complete connections for non-EFD1000
equipment. Please consult other manufacturers reference documents for their complete
interface to the aircraft.

Garmin SL-30
The SL-30 can be connected to the EFD1000 in one of two
ways. The Resolver configuration is preferred.
The composite output from the SL-30 to the PFD
will become invalid whenever VOR monitor mode or
localizer back course is selected on the SL-30. The
navigation source will show as failed on the PFD if either of
these two modes is entered and the SL-30 is the selected
navigation source. If connected, the backup NAV indicator
will continue to function if either of these two modes is
selected.
VOR monitor mode or localizer back course
mode are disabled from selection on the SL-30. A backup
NAV indicator (GI-106) cannot be connected without a KN-
72 between the SL-30 and indicator due to the fact that the
OBS resolver inputs become invalid with this configuration.
CNX-80/ GNS-480 (software 2.0 and below)
This configuration is not authorized. The GNS-480 should be upgraded
to software version 2.3 (see below)

With this configuration the EFD1000 will read the GNS480 CDI
logic state on the A429 bus and toggle between GPS and VLOC on
the PFD when pressing the GNS480 CDI button.
EFD1000 will use GPS/NAV IDs A and B

10 Configuration and Equipment Checkout
Print a copy of Appendix B Installation Final Check Sheet prior to starting any tests.
Log a Pass/Fail on check sheet then sign and date upon completion. Include copy of form in
permanent aircraft records.

NOTE: To avoid damage to the equipment, do not place the EFD1000 Display face down
on the knobs.
The following Test Equipment will be required to complete the remaining steps in the ground test
procedure:
Pitot Static Test Set
NAV/ILS Signal Generator
Digital Multimeter
10.1 Post Installation Wiring Checks
10.1.1 Wiring Verification
a) Do not install the EFD, ACU, RSM or configuration module until instructed to
do so in Section 10.3.
b) Perform a continuity check on all wires between the EFD, ACU, RSM,
Configuration Module and their associated connections per wiring diagrams.
c) Verify over shields or over braids are installed on required wiring bundles.
d) Apply aircraft power and close the EFIS, MFD, and ACU circuit breakers and the
EFIS and MFD master switch if installed.
e) Verify proper voltage on EFD main connector pins 1, 2, and 3 and that there

10.2 Database Installation
Each EFD1000 MFD and EFD500 MFD comes with a data card which must be installed
during operation. The EFD1000 PFD does not require a data card. See Section 1 MFD
Database Versions for data card types available.
If the data card is removed a Database Failure message will be shown when the system
loads additional data (normally the aircraft has flown some distance).
The data card contains Terrain, Obstacle, Cultural, and NavData. The NavData, Obstacle,
and Cultural data is available for download on a 28 day cycle from Jeppesen. The Terrain
data cannot be downloaded and ships on the microSD card. Extra and replacement cards
are purchased directly from Jeppesen at 1-800-621-5377 or email
captain@jeppesen.com.
The data card is inserted in the card slot at the base the MFD. The data card (microSD
card) is inserted with the metal contacts facing down and toward the display. The card is
inserted until it is almost flush with the display bezel and locks into place. To remove the
data card simply push in on the card and it will eject part way. It then may be removed
from the MFD.

10.3 Initial System Turn On
Remove power by pulling applicable circuit breakers. Install all EFD(s), ACU(s), RSM(s), and
Configuration Module(s). Push in all applicable circuit breakers and apply power. Verify
the EFD displays the initialization page after 5 seconds. The MFD will display database
loading information in a small window at the bottom of the Navigation Map screen.
Configure all systems using Section 10.4 prior to system check out.
NOTE: AHRS Flags may take up to 3 minutes to clear. Airspeed and Altitude flags
may take up to 20 minutes to clear at temperatures below -20C.
NOTE: The MFDs may require up to 3 minutes to completely load all database
features. Menu pages and configuration pages may be accessed during this
time.

VSPD EDIT: UNLOCKED = pilot can modify value of VSPEED textual markers in Main
Menu.
LOCKED = the pilot cannot modify the values of the VSPEED textual
markers in the Main Menu.


Miscellaneous Configuration A, B, C

RSM Orientation: Set to TOP if top or mounted. Set to INVERTED if bottom mounted.

RSM GPS Enable: Set to ENABLE if top mounted or internally mounted within a
composite or fabric structure that allows for GPS signal transmission. Set to DISABLE if
bottom mounted or internally mounted within an aluminum structure.

OAT Enable: Set to ENABLE if the RSM is top mounted or bottom mounted and not in
the exhaust stream. Set to DISABLE if the RSM is in the exhaust stream or internally
mounted as the OAT reading will be inaccurate. Note - setting OAT Enable to DISABLE
will also disable the TAS and Wind display.
ELEC SYSTEM: Set to 14V or 28V as per aircraft electrical system.

PANEL TILT PITCH ADJ: This setting is used to compensate for aircraft instrument
panels that are inclined with respect to the aircraft leveling indices. The EFD1000 AHRS
performance and the RSM calibration depend on the AHRS sensor orientation to the
aircraft waterline using the aircraft leveling indices.

CAUTION: Do not use the PANEL TILT PITCH ADJ adjustment to align the Aircraft
Reference Symbol to a zero pitch mark for level flight. Though such an
adjustment appears to be a natural step, incorrect adjustment may result
in incorrect pitch, roll and heading values. For non-tilted panel
installations, the EFD1000 AHRS must show zero degrees pitch when the
aircraft is leveled using the aircraft leveling indices. Adjustment of the
PANEL TILT PITCH ADJ to set the Aircraft Reference Symbol to a zero pitch
mark for level-flight may result in improper PFD alignment. If the level
flight level zero pitch reference needs adjustment, proceed in accordance
with the ATTITUDE REF SYMBOL ADJ procedure described below.

NOTE: Once the PFD is installed and properly aligned, the Aircraft Reference
Symbols level-flight pitch attitude indication changes with speed and
aircraft loading and cannot be adjusted by the pilot. See 14CFR
23.1303(f). See ATTITUDE REF SYMBOL ADJ adjustment to determine if
further action is required.

Adjust the PANEL TILT PITCH ADJ value using one of the two methods shown below.

Method 1 Using an Inclinometer
Using an inclinometer and the aircraft leveling indices, measure the offset angle in
degrees (0.5), from aircraft level. This reading should be taken when a technician is
seated in the cockpit since the angle could shift when the technician boards the
aircraft. This measurement will be entered in the EFD1000 as CORRECTED PITCH
ATTITUDE. Nose high is + degrees.




CORRECTED PITCH ATTITUDE: 2.0
CORRECTED ROLL ATTITUDE: 0.3



Figure 10.4 Illustration of aircraft 2 nose high

1) Set the ATTITUDE REF SYMBOL ADJ to 0.0.
2) Press the PANEL TILT PITCH ADJ line select key and use the bottom right knob to
enter a value for PANEL TILT PITCH ADJ that results in the CORRECTED PITCH ATTITUDE
(Figure 10.4) equaling the value read on the inclinometer. It may also be set to the
amount of panel tilt as determined through measurement.
3) Press the PANEL TILT PITCH ADJ line select key.

Method 2 Leveling the Aircraft
Level the airplane in pitch in accordance with the aircraft manufacturers procedure.
Then change the PANEL TILT PITCH ADJ adjustment to make the CORRECTED PITCH
ATTITUDE equal to 0.0.
1) Level the aircraft in pitch using the aircraft manufacturers procedure.


CORRECTED PITCH ATTITUDE: 0.0
CORRECTED ROLL ATTITUDE: 0.0


2) Set the ATTITUDE REF SYMBOL ADJ to 0.0.
Figure 10.5 Illustration of Zero degree pitch adjustment
3) Press the PANEL TILT PITCH ADJ line select key and use the bottom right knob to
enter a value for PANEL TILT PITCH ADJ that will result in the CORRECTED PITCH
ATTITUDE (F ) equaling 0.0. igure 10.5
4) Press the PANEL TILT PITCH ADJ line select key.

EFD1000 and EFD500 SW v2.X Installation Manual

PANEL ROLL ADJ: Panel Roll Adjust is used to align the roll reference mark of the
EFD1000 to zero degrees when the aircraft is wings level. With the aircraft wings level
change the Panel Roll Adjust adjustment to make the CORRECTED ROLL ATTITUDE
equal to 0.0. Should more than 2 of correction be required the mechanical mounting
of the EFD1000 for level in the panel should be re-verified.

CAUTION A RSM Calibration must be performed before first flight after changing
either the PANEL TILT PITCH ADJ or PANEL ROLL ADJ values.

ATTITUDE REF SYMBOL ADJ: This is used to make small changes to the pitch attitude
reference mark on the EFD1000 should the aircraft fly consistently slightly nose high or
nose low in cruise trim. It is not necessary to perform the RSM Calibration after
making changes to this setting.

NAV Setup Configuration

GPS/NAV#1 (ID#1): Ranges from A to R as specified on the wiring diagrams of Section
9. See example below

GPS/NAV#2 (ID#2): Ranges from A to M as specified on the wiring diagrams of Section
9. See example below.




Using the Configuration Table from Figure 9.11 as an example;

If you wired the drawing exactly as shown you would select ID#1 = H and ID#2 = D.
This would mean you have a RS-232/Analog GPS1 (i.e., KLN-94, GX-55) with an
Analog NAV1 (i.e., KX-155A) and an Analog NAV2 (i.e., KX-155A).

If you have the above installation without a NAV2 then select ID#1 = H and ID#2 =
NONE.

If you have the above installation with no NAV1 or NAV2 (just GPS and autopilot) then
select ID#1 = G and ID#2 = NONE.

COMPOSITE PHASE (VOR1, VOR2): Most modern navigation receivers will be set to (0, 0)
as VOR1 and VOR2 will have VOR composite outputs with zero degree phase shift. For
receivers with VOR composite outputs that are 180 out of phase (i.e., ARC RT-385) set
to 180 as required.

ground test the proper setting.


FD ROLL OFFSET ADJ: Flight Director Roll Offset is used to align the PFD Command
Bars to the Command Bars on the mechanical FD instrument in the roll axis. Positive
number increases roll in RIGHT (clockwise) direction. Negative number increases roll in
LEFT (counterclockwise) direction.

FD PITCH OFFSET ADJ: Flight Director Pitch Offset is used to align the PFD Command
Bars to the Command Bars on the mechanical FD instrument in the pitch axis. Positive
number increases pitch in UP direction. Negative number increases pitch in DOWN
direction.

The value of the command bars position is digitally shown in the top portion of the
Installation Menu when the autopilots flight director is valid and engaged. This will
assist you in aligning the PFD flight director to the mechanical flight director indicator.

10.5 RSM Calibration
10.5.1 Calibration Overview
The Remote Sensor Module must be calibrated by performing a compass swing in the
aircraft for any new installations and any follow up maintenance activities that could
affect RSM accuracy.

Such activities might include but are not limited to the replacement of the RSM,
replacement of the Configuration Module, installation of a mechanical or electrical
device in the vicinity to the RSM, installation of an appliance that might generate a
magnetic interference.

NOTE: Before replacing the RSM and/or the Configuration Module, determine if the
current installation has had SB2009-02 applied by referring to the EFD1000
Configuration Chart or the aircraft logs. If so, do not replace the Configuration
Module or RSM without completing the calibrations as identified in the SB2009-
02. Contact an Aspen Avionics FSE for more information.

An overview of the RSM Calibration procedure is as follows (see Figure 10.8):

CAUTION: When a Calibration is initiated, the aircraft must be turned as described
below. If the calibration is initiated and then accepted without moving the aircraft, an
erroneous calibration will be written to the Configuration Module, potentially resulting
in failure to initialize.

A heading will be checked to verify the reasonableness of PFD heading prior to
calibration.
The aircraft will be taxied to a magnetically quiet and level area at least 200ft
from metal buildings and clear of metal grates, manhole covers and rebar
within the concrete. A Compass Rose is ideal for this procedure.
The aircraft can start from any heading.
With engines running, all electrical equipment operating, and the aircraft
stationary the RSM CAL page will be entered and Start Calibration will be
initiated (see Figure 10.7).
After a 15 second countdown timer the pilot/operator will begin to taxi the
aircraft in a circle (cw or ccw) with the radius of approximately twice the length
of the aircrafts wing as viewed from the cockpit ( 30ft).
The aircraft will be taxied under its own power at a constant rate around a
circle until a 60 second timer elapses. The aircraft must not stop until the timer
has exhausted.
At the completion of the 60 seconds the aircraft will have made at least a 450
circle (360 + 90) to approximately two complete circles (720).

Copyright 2010 Aspen Avionics Inc.
EFD1000 and EFD500 SW v2.X Installation Manual
At the end of the 60 second timer four headings about 90 apart will be
checked against a calibrated heading source (i.e., site compass, compass rose).
If PFD heading is acceptable then the calibration is Accepted.
If the PFD heading is not within tolerance then it is Rejected and the calibration
procedure is re-run.
After the calibration is accepted headings are checked using a calibrated
reference (i.e., a sight compass) every 30 (starting from North) to verify that
the heading accuracy is within 4.
EFD1000 PFD software version 1.1 and subsequent will allow the heading to be
calibrated every 30.



10.5.1.1 Conventional Gear RSM Calibration Procedure
Perform the RSM calibration procedure per Section 10.5.2 with the tail wheel on the
ground. Verify heading accuracy is within +/- 4. If the heading accuracy cannot be
brought within +/- 4 tolerance then try temporarily shimming the rear of the RSM up.
Perform another RSM calibration. If a shim corrects the heading accuracy then install
permanent shim per Section 6.9.9.

In some installations it might not be possible to achieve +/- 4 accuracy during the
RSM calibration with the aircraft tail wheel on the ground. If feasible and necessary, the
RSM calibration can be performed in the aircraft flight attitude (with the aircraft tail
wheel lifted off the ground). Contact Aspen Avionics product support for tail dragger
RSM calibration assistance.

10.5.2 RSM Calibration Procedure
The RSM calibration routine is accomplished using the Installation Menu RSM
CALIBRATION menu page. See Section 10.4.5 (Installation Menu Access) for
instructions on entering the INSTALLATION MENU.

CAUTION: The PANEL TILT PITCH ADJ and ROLL ATT TRIM must be set correctly on
the Installation Menu page prior to calibrating the RSM.


Figure 10.7 RSM Calibration Page

On the RSM CALIBRATION menu page the current calibrated heading (to the
nearest 0.1 degrees) will be continuously displayed adjacent to the CAL HDG:
menu field.

NOTE: Verify CAL HDG is within 25 degrees of a calibrated compass source prior
to starting the RSM Calibration. This is a rough check of the hard and soft
iron effects (magnetic interference) in the vicinity of the RSM. Should the
CAL HDG be greater than 25 degrees then the RSM location should be re-
surveyed per Section 6.9.1.

With aircraft stationary at (POSITION 1) of Figure 10.8 press the START CALIBRATION
line select key. The annunciation shown in Figure 10.10 will be displayed with a
countdown timer that begins with 15 secs and counts down to 0 secs.

CAUTION: Do not press ACCEPT Calibration without moving the aircraft in the
procedure below as corruption to the configuration module could occur.



When the menu of is displayed immediately begin taxiing the aircraft
clockwise or counter-clockwise at a constant rate of no faster than 1 turn every 30
seconds. About half normal taxi speed or a brisk walking speed is about right.
Approximately 10 seconds after initial movement (see POSITION A) the aircraft should
be taxiing at a constant rate (CR) throughout the rest of the procedure. When the
countdown timer is reached between one and a quarter turns (450) (POSITION B) and
two turns (720) (POSITION D) should have been completed. While turning the aircraft
do not stop the aircraft until the end of the 60 second timer and appears.

NOTE: If the message Erroneous Calibration Values is displayed then magnetic
interference exists in the vicinity of the calibration area or the RSM is mounted in a
magnetically noisy area. Try the calibration process again in a flat magnetically
quiet area. If the message is displayed again the RSM location must be surveyed
for magnetic interference.



To determine whether to ACCEPT or REJECT the results check four headings
approximately 90 apart against a known good heading source (i.e., aircraft compass,
sight compass, compass rose).

If the headings are within 10 then press ACCEPT and use the Heading Offset

NOTE: In some aircraft, prop wash and wind during ground operations can create inconsistent
pressures in the pitot-static system. The pressures can affect the ADAHRS, resulting in small pitch
and heading perturbations. Before reading the aircraft headings for the purposes of calibration,
ensure the attitude solution has stabilized and is not influenced by external winds and pressures. The
disturbances normally settle out over a period of 15 to 60 seconds. Idle power or temporarily
selecting the alternate static source can sometimes eliminate the effect.
10.5.4 Heading Accuracy Test
As a final check, position the aircraft on the headings shown on Installation Final Check
Sheet of Appendix B and verify heading (viewed on HSI display) is within +/- 4 degrees
using a calibrated heading source (i.e., sight compass, compass rose). Record the actual
PFD headings in the table for inclusion in the aircraft maintenance records.
If any heading is outside 4 then rerun the Calibration Procedure and or Heading Offset
adjustment.

10.5.5 Heading Interference Test
With aircraft engine(s) running monitor current aircraft heading on PFD and exercise flight
controls stop to stop including flaps and any electric trim tabs. Verify the heading (viewed
on HSI display) does not change on the PFD by more than 2. If movement of flight
controls causes more than a 2 heading change then it may be necessary to degauss the
flight controls including the cables. A handheld degausser can be found at most audio
and video stores.
Operate all electrical and environmental equipment including:
Blowers, fans, heaters, air conditioner
Deice boots, fuel pump(s), backup vacuum pumps
Landing, logo, NAV lighting
Operate pulse equipment transponder, WX radar, DME
Key all VHF communication radios.
Operate autopilot so that all servos run (roll, pitch, yaw, trim)
If the operation of any electrical system causes the heading to change by more than 2 the
RSM wiring may need to be relocated away from the offending system. The offending
system may also have a bonding issue to the airframe that needs to be corrected.
Run engine(s) from idle to take off power and verify that the heading does not change by
more than 2. Prop wash at higher RPMs may cause a heading shift, try an alternate static
source if this is a issue.
This completes all RSM calibration and heading tests.

10.6 Ground Test Procedure (PFD, EFD500 MFD and EFD1000 in PFD Reversion and in
MFD Mode)
The ground test procedure will consist of checking for proper operation of the following
items. Check the PFD and the EFD1000 MFD in reverted mode simultaneously. Check the
EFD1000 MFD and EFD500 MFD using the sections marked for these devices:
a) Airspeed Tape, Altitude Tape, and OAT Sensor
b) AHRS Sensor
c) GPS Sensor Inputs (including Backup RSM GPS Sensor)
d) Navigation Sensor Inputs (if installed)
e) Backup Navigation Indicator
f) Autopilot Sensor Outputs (if installed)
g) Flight Director (if installed)
h) Sonalert (if installed)
i) Decision Height (if installed)
j) Traffic Display (if installed)
k) XM Weather Display and Control (if installed)
l) WX500 Display and Control (if installed)
m) Reversion Mode (EFD1000 MFD only)
n) Ancillary Equipment Heading Check (if using ARINC 429 heading from EFD1000)
o) Ancillary Equipment Air Data Check (if connected)
p) Inter-Display Communication Test
q) EMI Test
r) Flight Control Interference Check


CAUTION: Do not exceed the aircrafts maximum Airspeed, Altitude, or Vertical Speed at
anytime during the testing. Damage could result to the pre-existing aircraft
instruments.

NOTE: When changing indicated airspeed or altitude on the ground using pitot/static test
equipment, changes in the AHRS display of pitch, roll and heading will result,
possibly accompanied by a CROSS CHECK ATTITUDE annunciation. This behavior is
the result of the Kalman Filter algorithms employed in the EFD1000 attitude solution.
These changes in pitch, roll or heading are normal and do NOT indicate a system
failure. The integrated nature of the EFD1000 AHRS algorithms is such that AHRS
performance can only be properly evaluated during flight or ground maneuvers.

12 Operating Instructions
The operation section describes all of the features of the PRO model with all available sensor
options configured. Should your installation not include a particular sensor (i.e., NAV2,
autopilot) then that system feature will be not available. The PRO DIGITAL model has all the
features of the PRO minus the autopilot interface.
Basic operation of the EFD1000 MFD and EFD500 MFD are covered in this section. For detailed
operating instructions see the MFD pilots guide.

12.1 Pilot Controls
12.1.1 Overview
Pilot interaction with the EFD1000/EFD500 is accomplished through two knobs with
push/rotate function and 11 buttons located on the display bezel. Refer to
Figure 12.1.

Two control knobs are used to control pilot settable bugs and references.

Three lower push buttons, located between the control knobs, are used to select
navigation sources for the bearing pointers and the HSI.

Three dedicated buttons on the upper side of the right bezel control map range,
display reversion, and provide access the main menu.

Five soft keys on the lower half of the right bezel control frequently used commands,
such as the HSI mode or map de-clutter setting. These five keys are also used when
navigating the main menu.

12.1.2 Power Control
To enhance safety, the EFD1000/EFD500 includes an internal or Emergency Backup
Battery (Optional, EFD1000 MFD) that allows the system to continue to operate in the
event of a failure of the aircraft electrical system. This ensures that in addition to the
standby instruments, the EFD1000 primary flight instrument and the EFD1000 MFD
continues to remain available for a period of time following the loss of all external
supply power.

If the EFD1000 MFD is being used for required standby instruments then the EBB58
Emergency Backup Battery is required by regulation. See AFMS for instructions on
testing prior to flight

Copyright 2010 Aspen Avionics Inc.
The typical EFD1000 installation receives aircraft power from the battery bus via a
dedicated circuit breaker and EFIS Master and optional MFD Master switch.

Whenever indicated airspeed is invalid or below 30 KIAS the EFD1000 will power up
and power down with the application or removal of external power. A message is
presented during the normal power down sequence to enable the pilot to abort the
shutdown and switch to internal battery.

When IAS is greater than 30 KIAS and the input voltage drops below 12.3V (14V
Electrical System) or 24.6V (28V Electrical System) the EFD will automatically switch to
its internal battery (e.g. aircraft charging system failure).

The EFD1000 internal battery (or Emergency Backup Battery in the case of the 910-
00001-002 EFD) will provide at least 30 minutes of power when it is fully charged.
The battery provides power to the display head, RSM and emergency GPS. Reducing
the backlight intensity will extend the battery operating time.

When operating from battery, a red ON BAT annunciation and battery charge status
indication is presented in the lower portion of the Attitude Indicator.

A unit operating from battery may be powered off using the Shut Down command
available in the Power Settings Menu.

In the unlikely event that the normal power control is not working, the EFD may be
forced to shut down by first pulling its associated circuit breaker and then pressing
and holding the REV button for at least 5 seconds.

Battery charge status may be viewed from the Power Settings page of the Main Menu.

D.2 System Description
The EFD1000 PFD system is comprised of the Primary Flight Display (PFD), Remote Sensor Module
(RSM), Configuration Module (CM) and optional Analog Converter Unit (ACU). Optionally one or two
MFD displays of either the EFD500 or EFD1000 may be installed.
The EFD1000 PFD system provides display of attitude, airspeed, altitude, direction of flight, vertical
speed, turn rate, and turn quality. The system may optionally provide display of navigation
information through interfaces to GPS Receivers and/or VHF Navigation Receivers.
When interfaced with a compatible autopilot, the EFD1000 system provides heading and course
datum information to the autopilot, which enables the autopilot to follow the Course and Heading
values set by the pilot on the EFD1000.
If optional MFD displays are installed they can present terrain, traffic, XM weather, and WX-500
Stormscope data to the flight crew. The EFD1000 MFD can be used as backup instruments to the
PFD supporting reversionary capabilities. The EFD500 presents MFD data, but cannot be used for
backup or reversion.
An EBB58 Emergency Backup Battery may be required in some EFD1000 MFD installation
configurations if it is being used as any required secondary instruments.
