Page 7: Introduction
EFIS-D100 Pilot’s User Guide. Description The EFIS-D100 uses solid-state sensor technology to give an accurate and easy-to-understand display. To ensure accuracy in its readings, it is very important that you install the instrument correctly and perform the specified calibration steps. This installation guide will help you through that process. -
Page 9: Wiring
Power is fed to the EFIS-D100 via pins in the female DB25 connector as shown on the 25-Pin Female EFIS Harness diagram on page 2-2 The EFIS-D100 system-wide power requirement is 12 watts typical and 17 watts maximum. -

Page 16: Serial Communication Cable
If you do not have a serial port on your PC, use the included USB-to-Serial adapter to connect the EFIS-D100 to your PC’s USB port. Ensure that the adapter driver CD is inserted in your PC before plugging the adapter into the USB port for the first time. Also, do not have your EFIS- D100 plugged into the USB-to-Serial while installing the driver. -

The EFIS-D10A, EMS-D10, DSAB-B Blue EFIS-D100, EMS-D120, and FlightDEK-D180 products all have the hardware to support DSAB connections; currently the only supported function is transmitting data from an EMS product to an EFIS product. Once you connect your EFIS product and EMS product via the DSAB lines, you will have access to EMS pages on your EFIS. -
Page 22: Panel Location And Mounting
Avoid placing the instrument near heater vents or any source of extremely hot or cold air. Keep in mind that the air surrounding the EFIS-D100 during operation may be no warmer than 50 °C. Plan a panel location that allows convenient viewing of the instrument with no obstruction. -
Page 23: Connecting Static & Pitot Lines
If you purchased Dynon’s AOA pitot tube, note that it has pitot and AOA ports on it, but not static. You will need to provide your own source of static pressure for the EFIS-D100 and any other instrument in your panel which requires it. -
Page 25: Efis Calibration And Configuration
This section will take you through a series of steps to make sure that you have properly installed and configured your EFIS-D100. As in the User’s Guide, the term, “button #1” refers to the leftmost button on the front panel of the EFIS-D100, “button #2,” the next button to the right, and so on. -

EFIS-D100 (i.e., you see the heading tape displayed on the EFIS main page), and have located a suitable place to perform the calibration, perform the following steps: 1. Turn on the EFIS-D100 and allow it to warm up for at least 15 minutes before performing the calibration. - Page 27 15 second timer. Let the time run out before proceeding. 11. Press the END button. This will cause the EFIS-D100 to pause as it calculates. This pause should last between 1-20 seconds. However, if the collected data is poor, this can take as long as 5 minutes.

Page 34: Appendix B: Dynon Oat Probe Installation And Usage
The following instructions provide information on installing and using the EFIS-D100 OAT probe. Keep in mind that this probe is designed specifically to work with the EFIS-D100. Do not expect it to work properly with another OAT or TAS/Density Altitude system. If you own an Dynon EMS product with an OAT installed, your EFIS-D100 can receive its OAT value from the EMS via the DSAB wires. -
Page 35: Oat/Tas/Da Display
To connect the blue wire, white wire, and shield (the three ground connections) into one pin, crimp a connector onto the stripped end of the ground wires from the EFIS-D100 (or, if using the Dynon-supplied harness, use the existing pinned ground lead). Strip some extra insulation off this ground wire. -
Page 36: Calibration And Adjustment
Ensure that you have selected the number corresponding to your OAT in the OAT INSTALLED menu as described above. It can sometimes take as long as 5 seconds for the EFIS-D100 to lock onto the OAT reading. Ensure that all wiring is correct and that there are no shorted or open connections. -
