Installation Guide Instruction Manual

1. INTRODUCTION
This manual provides information about the physical, electrical, and plumbing installation of the
FlightDEK-D180, EDC-D10A, optional AOA pitot probe, and all engine sensors purchased from
Dynon Avionics. 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 FlightDEK-D180 Pilot’s User Guide.
The EFIS component of the FlightDEK-D180 uses solid-state sensor technology to give an
accurate and easy-to-understand display. To ensure accuracy in its readings, it is very important
that you install the instrument correctly and perform the specified calibration steps. This
installation guide helps you through that process.
OEM Installations
If your FlightDEK-D180 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
FlightDEK-D180 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.
