Example Contact Sensor Setup 
Assume this sensor was mapped on the Sensor Input Mapping Wizard as: 
PIN # 
FUNCTION 
SENSOR 
NAME 
C37 P9 
CANOPY 
Contact 
CANOPY 
Now, we want to configure its alert and graphical properties. Go to the Sensor Setup Menu and 
open the CANOPY CONTACT Page (SETUP MENU > EMS SETUP > SENSOR SETUP > CANOPY 
CONTACT). 
Note that although inputs set up as contacts can physically accept up to 15V (so 
that they can accept nominal aircraft voltage as one of their two states), the 
maximum the EMS can measure is 5.0V. This means that as depicted below, the 
two measured ranges should be set to 0-2.5V and 2.5-5V to measure the absence 
and presence of power. 
Configure CANOPY CONTACT with the following properties: 
  ALARM:  OFF 
  MAXIMUM GRAPHICAL DISPLAY:  5.0 VOLTS 
  MINIMUM GRAPHICAL DISPLAY:  0.0 VOLTS 
  RANGE 1 
o  ENABLE  YES 
o  NAME  OPEN 
o  COLOR  RED 
o  TOP  5.0 VOLTS 
o  BOTTOM  2.5 VOLTS 
  RANGE 2 
o  ENABLE  YES 
o  NAME  CLOSED 
o  COLOR  GREEN 
o  TOP  2.5 VOLTS 
o  BOTTOM  0.0 VOLTS 
  RANGE 3 
o  ENABLE  NO 
o  NAME  R3 
o  COLOR  GREEN 
o  TOP  20.0 VOLTS 
o  BOTTOM  10.0 VOLTS 
  RANGE 4 
o  ENABLE  NO 
o  NAME  R4 
o  COLOR  YELLOW 
o  TOP  10.0 VOLTS 
o  BOTTOM  5.0 VOLTS 
  RANGE 5
