Page 7: Introduction
OEM Installations If your EMS-D10 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 EMS-D10 firmware to maintain a consistent pilot experience and minimize integration issues across a large number of installations. -

Page 9: Wiring Overview
Please follow these instructions explicitly as improper wiring can result in permanent damage to your instrument and/or the accompanying sensors. All electrical power and data lines interface with the EMS-D10 via the male 37-pin D-Sub connector on the back of the unit. EGT (exhaust gas temperature) and CHT (cylinder head temperature) thermocouple inputs enter the unit via the female 25-pin D-Sub connector. -
Page 10: Grounding
More than one sensor’s ground may be connected to any of these three grounds using a splice. The case of the EMS-D10 is connected to its supply ground. If your panel is connected to aircraft ground, the connection between the instrument’s case and the panel dramatically helps minimize voltage differences between the instrument and sensor grounds. -

Please contact Dynon Avionics to order extension wire. Harness Mating The following diagram shows the 2 electrical connectors on the back of the EMS-D10. The main EMS harness (for all connections except EGT & CHT thermocouples) should terminate in a 37- pin female D-sub connector. -

Page 25: Fuel Level Sensor
RESISTIVE FUEL LEVEL SENSOR You may connect up to four resistive fuel level sensors to the EMS-D10. Simply connect the output of the sensor you would like to be Fuel Level 1 (left tank) to pin 20 and the sensor you would like to be Fuel Level 2 (right tank) to pin 21. -
Page 26: Ammeter Shunt
There are two methods for accomplishing this. You may simply connect two 1 amp fuses in-line between the shunt and the EMS-D10. Or, you may use butt splices to connect 1” to 2” sections of 26 AWG wire between the shunt and each of the Amps leads connecting to the EMS-D10. These fusible links are a simple and cost-effective way to protect against short-circuits. -

B, closest to the alternator. If you find that the current reading on the EMS-D10 is the opposite polarity of what you want, swap the two signal inputs (Amps High and Amps Low) to obtain the desired result. - Page 28 Connect the other black/white wire on the OAT probe to the desired GP input on the EMS-D10 main harness. Again, if using the EFIS 3-wire OAT simply route either the yellow or blue wire (whichever did not get routed to ground) to the desired GP input.
- Page 29 CHT sensor to pin 4. Repeat this with the right CHT sensor. Be sure to configure the EMS-D10 to recognize the Rotax CHT sensors on the 2 general-purpose inputs as described in the General Purpose Inputs section on page 5-16.
- Page 30 Connect the ground input on the sensor to a ground common to the EMS-D10. Connect the output of the sensor to the desired GP input. You may connect up to three trim/flap sensors. For physical installation, refer to the instructions that came with your position sensor.
