EX5000 Installation Manual
P/N 600-00073 Rev 24
For the correct interconnection between the EXP5000 PFD and the EX5000, see Appendix P: Wiring
Diagram – Primary Flight Display (PFD).
Configuring Map Heading from a GPS/FMS
The MFD can receive heading from an GPS/FMS via an ARINC 429 bus. The source of heading is
usually a gyro transmitting synchro or stepper to SkyWatch or StormScope sensor connected to the
GPS/FMS, as shown in Figure 3.
See Appendix J: Wiring Diagram – GPS/FMS for the correct pinouts to the MFD.
When checking the GPS/FMS connection to the EX5000, the GPS/FMS must have a valid position fix
(latitude/longitude).
Configuring Map Heading from StormScope
The MFD is capable of receiving heading data from the WX-500 StormScope via RS-232. Configure
the MFD as shown in Figure 4:
Configuring Map Heading from TAS (Traffic)
The EX5000 is capable of receiving heading data from a TAS system. Configure the MFD as shown in
Figure 5. See Appendix L: Wiring Diagram – Traffic Sensors for the correct pin outs to the MFD.
