5. EMS CONFIGURATION 
Once the engine sensors are 
physically installed, you must 
configure the EMS-D120 to 
recognize and correctly display all 
engine parameters. To interact with 
the EMS-D120 menu system, use 
the 6 buttons on the front panel. The 
buttons are numbered one to six, left 
to right. With the instrument 
powered on and the EMS main page 
displayed, press any button (except 
the leftmost and rightmost buttons, reserved for hotkey screen switching) beneath the EMS main 
page to bring up the menu. Press MORE to see the next menu, and then SETUP to enter the 
setup menu. Pressing MORE will toggle through the various SETUP options. For the purposes of 
installation, you will be dealing with the GLOBAL, SENSOR, FUEL, TRIM (if installed) and 
FLAPS (if installed) options. 
Full-Page Setup Menu Overview 
When in full-page menus, follow these 
tips to navigate through them: 
Use the DOWN▼ and UP▲ buttons to 
scroll up and down through menu items. 
Use the SEL► button to enter a 
submenu (the white area) as shown at 
right. 
When in a submenu, press UP▲ and 
DOWN▼ to scroll through the available 
options. 
If you have selected a value that can be toggled between a small number of values (like ALARM 
status), the SEL► button will appear. Press SEL► to toggle the value through its possible states. 
In the case of ALARM status, pressing SEL► would cycle from OFF to SELF-CLEAR to 
LATCHING and back to OFF. 
If you have selected a value that can be incremented and decremented (like the HI YEL/GRN 
color boundary), the INC+ and DEC- buttons will appear. Press INC+ to increase the value and 
DEC- to decrease it. 
The EMS-D120 comes with most displays defaulted to ON. If you have not installed a given 
sensor or have reason to not display it, set the DISPLAY parameter to OFF. 
The EMS-D120 supports multiple types of sensors for some functions. For any input which 
supports more than one type of sensor, you must select a “sensor type” in its configuration 
section. This information is used by the EMS-D120 to determine which sensor is installed for a
