Page 5: Introduction
EMSIS – User’s and Installation Manual 1 Introduction First of all, we would like to thank you for purchasing our product. The EMSIS system is a set of complex electronics devices and we strongly recommend to carefully read this manual before installing and using EMSIS system. -
Page 6: Turning On/Off
This must be done in factory. 2.3 Updating EMSIS Software The EMSIS software is under constant development and if you want to keep your EMSIS up to date, you should update your EMSIS regularly. This section describes actions required to update the software. -
Page 7: Copying New Software Into Emsis
3. Use the up and down button to select the Update option and press the check button. Update process will begin. 4. Once finished, EMSIS will start with the new software. The very first start after the update takes slightly longer. -
Page 8: General Information About Emsis Ems
When AHRS unit is present on CAN bus, EMSIS EMS can also show flight information on graphical display, too. When maps are enabled and licensed and AHRS unit is present on CAN bus, EMSIS EMS can also show raster maps on graphical display. Further chapters reveal the details. -
Page 9: Engine Sensors
More about DAQU unit and engine sensors is written in DAQU Installation Manual. 4.2 CAN Bus The EMSIS system can be easily extended into a much more complex form, shown on Figure 4. We achieved this by introducing CAN bus for the communication between the units. The CAN bus does the magic of the all possible known and unknown future extensions. -
Page 10: In Flight
Push and hold up button sets current pitch, see Figure 6. It will take current pitch and set it as a zero pitch. The change is not immediate and it takes cca 5 sec for AHRS unit to accept it. Once EMSIS is switch off, this setting is forgotten. -
Page 11: Engine Monitoring Page
5.2 Engine Monitoring Page An example of engine monitoring page is illustrated on Figure 7. It can be designed differently for each EMSIS unit regarding to the wishes of the customer. Additionally, more than one EMS page can be configured. -
Page 12: In Flight
5.3 Maps The maps page is illustrated on Figure 9. Maps can be shown on EMSIS only if GPS information is present on the CAN bus. EMSIS PDF supports this by default, while other versions depend on units that are connected to the CAN bus (Nesis, some other EMSIS PDF, Horis, etc.). -
Page 13: Map Option Activation
5.3.3 Copy Maps In order to copy a new map into the EMSIS, you need to obtain this map from our web site. Copy this map to the micro SD card that you received with the instrument. (You may use other micro SD cards as well.) Do not put the maps into folders. -

IAS, TAS, GS, altitude, tracking, time, UTC, RPM, Rotor RPM. 6 EMSIS Setup Page The EMSIS Setup page allows you to access or set several options. It is accessed by pushing the page selector button. Figure 11 illustrates the page. The displayed options depend on the hardware detected on the CAN bus. -
Page 15: Logbook
About – displays information about software and hardware version. Figure 11: The EMSIS setup page. All options are not visible. Some user options are not shown on secondary EMSIS, some options require password entry before proceeding and some options are available only when correct hardware is detected. -

6.2.1 Engine Type Depending on specifications of your aircraft, select the correct engine. Figure 13 shows the engine selection window. Setting the engine type allows EMSIS to calculate fuel consumption and has no other effect on the instrument. Figure 13: Engine type selection window. - Page 17 EMSIS – User’s and Installation Manual Figure 14: List of sensors connected to DAQU unit. Each row in the table corresponds to one DAQU channel. Channels are labelled as combination of one capital letter and one number. Letter defines the channel type, while the number enumerates channels of each type.

Page 18: Tank
• Software Tank Software tank is active, when no “fuel level” channel is configured in Daqu. EMSIS allows you to enter the current amount of fuel and this amount is then reduced in time based on fuel consumption. The fuel consumption is either calculated or measured. -
Page 19: Tank Shape
EMSIS – User’s and Installation Manual When doing the initial tank setup, selecting a shape is the first step. 6.3.1 Tank Shape Tank shape selection is made in a window shown on Figure 18. Select correct shape for your aircraft tank. -
Page 20: Tank Min/Max
When Min is selected press and hold the check button to write the sensor value into EMSIS automatically. Value can be also set manually by pushing check button and entering the desired value with up and down buttons. -
Page 21: Airspeed
EMSIS – User’s and Installation Manual Select the option and use up/down buttons to adjust the brightness. Note, EMSIS always starts with maximal brightness. 6.5 Airspeed The Airspeed configuration is accessible by selecting the Airspeed option from the Settings page. A window shown on Figure 21 opens. -
Page 22: Pilots
It can be either a normal pilot, when flies as PIC or as an instructor, when flies in this role. If more than one pilot is entered into EMSIS, it will ask you to select one on the startup and if there is at least one instructor, it will also ask you for instructor. -
Page 23: Layout
EMSIS will restart. 6.9.2 AHRS Level During the assembly of the AHRS unit into the EMSIS unit and during the installation of the EMSIS unit into the instrument panel, a small misalignment may appear. This means that internal axes of the AHRS unit are not parallel to the airplane axes –... -
Page 24: Compass Calibration
EMSIS – User’s and Installation Manual Please make sure that airplane is level for both, roll and pitch. Make also sure that EMSIS unit is turned ON for at least five minutes – this warms up the internal electronics and stabilizes numerical filters. -
Page 25: Firmware Update
EMSIS – User’s and Installation Manual difference between known reference magnetic headings and by the headings shown on the window. This error is more or less constant regardless to the direction. Write down this difference for a few different directions and calculate the average. Enter this final correction using the Compass Offset option. When the compass readings were too large, enter negative value and vice versa. -
Page 26: Set Alt & Ias Offset
1 increases indicated fuel consumption and vice versa. If fuel flow sensor is installed this factor has no effect. Figure 31: Altitude and IAS offset window. 6.10 About The About window shows some relevant information about EMSIS: program version, • program date, •... -
Page 27: Installation
EMSIS fits into the new opening. You can powder paint the panel using non-reflective dark paint. This makes excellent results in practice. The EMSIS unit is mounted from the back. Position EMSIS unit in the instrument panel and use the screws to fix it in place. -
Page 28: Connection To The Electrical System
If you have a 24 V system in your aircraft, then you need a voltage adapter from 24 to 12 V. The EMSIS display consumes very little power (less than 2 W), which means about 0.15 A at 12 V. We recommend connecting EMSIS using appropriately rated breaker or replaceable fuse on the power input. -
Page 29: Pitot-Static Connection
T junction and EMSIS total port and secure connections using hose clamps. We strongly recommend labelling each tube before connecting to the EMSIS PFD or any other instrument. If you ever have to remove EMSIS PFD from the instrument panel, this will help a lot when you will reinstall it. -
Page 30: Connection To The Can Network
In standard configurations with EMSIS PFD, one CAN port is connected to terminator, while the other is unused or connected to other EMSIS unit. One CAN port may be used to connect with DAQU (engine monitoring unit), in this case terminator can be disconnected. - Page 31 A hot-start means that GPS constellation almanac is kept in the GPS module memory after the EMSIS unit was powered OFF. Note: On a first start up, on a cold-start or when EMSIS PFD is moved for a significant distance without receiving GPS signal (shipping across the Globe), GPS receiver needs to download almanac from the...
