DISCLAIMER & WARNINGS The information displayed by the Ultra EFIS is not certified for use for VFR or IFR flights. The Ultra EFIS is meant as an aid to VFR navigation and is not a substitute for certified EFIS. All critical flight information is presented for reference only and must be verified by the use.
GPS receiver Connecting the external GPS receiver to the Ultra EFIS, the system provides the pilot with navigation information on the HSI page , providing its position, direction and radials relative to reference navigation points.
Ultra EFIS Micro SD card A microSD card is included in the Ultra EFIS box. The microSD card is a blank card without data preloaded. The microSD card should be used for Software updates and data transfer from/to the Ultra EFIS like updating the Navdata POI’s.

AvMap Ultra EFIS The Ultra EFIS is designed to be installed in an 3.3” (84mm) diameter hole. The instrument has to be installed from the front of the panel and screwed from behind the panel according to Figure 3. Ultra Ultra 11.5...
Make sure you respect the screw length formula to avoid damaging the plastic of the Ultra EFIS. Use light thread locker to prevent screw loosening with vibration. Use the Cutting template, included in the box, to cut out the panel. (see Figure 4)
Figure 5 the bo Connection to the pitot-static system In order to display accurate speed and altitude data the Ultra EFIS needs to be connected suppl the 1A to the aircraft pitot-static system. First of all remove the two caps protecting the STATIC to pro and PITOT ports.

External GPS receiver connection Connect the external GPS receiver, included in the box, on the back side of the Ultra EFIS to the GPS port as shown on Figure 5. The GPS receiver comes with a 1,5 meter cable and is designed for use inside the aircraft.
Figure 7 Scenario B - Horizon Alignment Calibration required In case the Ultra EFIS is installed in an instrument panel that is aligned with the aircraft lateral axis, but not perpendicular to the straight & level flight attitude, the simple Horizon Alignment calibration procedure must be executed.
RED and is out of order. IMPORTANT: Before you proceed with the magnetometer (compass) calibration, make sure that the horizon line of the Ultra EFIS is aligned with the aircrafts straight & level flight attitude (see paragraph 3.1)
Page 12
Set the aircraft in level and straight flight attitude by using jacks or blocks. Note: Make sure that the Horizon line of the Ultra EFIS is aligned with the aircrafts straight & level flight attitude.
Note: If the calibration fails or the compass indicator is not enabled, repeat the calibration procedure. If several calibration attempts fails review the installation location of the Ultra EFIS. Magnetic disturbance could be too high in the area selected. 4. System Operation 4.1 How to operate the unit...

Select HSI to enter the HSI menu: In the HSI menu you can select an Airport (ARPT), VOR and NDB as your navigation point.
When you purchase an update, you’ll receive a navdata file. Save the navdata file on your PC and copy it on the microSD card. To import the navdata update from the microSD to the Ultra EFIS insert the microSD in to the device, go to the Database menu and select IMPORT.
Turn the Ultra EFIS ON providing power supply to the device. A message will show on the display: “COPY NEW BINARY?”. Push once the rotation Knob and select “YES” to update the Ultra EFIS with the new Software, or select “NO” if you don’t want to proceed with the update.

Ultra EFIS GPS failure During the Ultra EFIS start-up and until a GPS fix is acquired, the GPS position field on the HSI display will indicate GPS error in RED. If the GPS fails during operation, the same condition is indicated. The unit can continue calculating position with degraded precision in absence of GPS.
The first two causes can be solved by updating the software with the latest available software version. If a software update doesn’t resolve the failure the Ultra EFIS requires service at AvMap facility.
