Installation Guide User Manual
1. INTRODUCTION 
This manual provides information about the physical and electrical installation of the EMS-D120 
and connected sensors. Additionally, this guide deals with setting up the installation-dependant 
firmware options. Because you may not have purchased all the components, you need only read 
through the relevant sections of this guide. Information about the operation of this instrument 
can be found in the EMS-D120 Pilot’s User Guide. 
When properly configured, the EMS-D120 gives an accurate and easy-to-understand display of 
engine data. To ensure accuracy in its readings, it is very important that you install the 
instrument correctly and perform the specified setup steps. This installation guide will help you 
through that process. 
OEM Installations 
If your EMS-D120 is installed by an OEM distributor, you may find that you are unable to 
access some menus and settings. Some Dynon distributors customize various areas of the EMS-
D120 firmware to maintain a consistent pilot experience and minimize integration issues across a 
large number of installations. Currently, OEMs can customize access levels to the following 
settings on Dynon systems: EMS GLOBAL setup menu, EMS SENSOR setup menu, fuel 
calibration, trim calibration, flaps calibration, GPS/NAV setup menu, screen configurations, data 
logging, and checklists/data panels. OEM distributors have the option of customizing some or all 
of these areas. Please contact your aircraft’s manufacturer if you have any questions about how 
your unit has been customized. 
Warning 
Dynon Avionics’ products incorporate a variety of precise, calibrated electronics. Except for 
replacing the optional internal backup battery in EFIS-based products per the installation guide, 
our products do not contain any field/user-serviceable parts. Units that have been found to have 
been taken apart may not be eligible for repair under warranty. Additionally, once a Dynon 
Avionics unit is opened up, it will require calibration and verification at our Woodinville, WA 
offices before it can be considered airworthy.
