EMS-D120 Features


Checklists



Checklists
Pilots may configure up to 25 lists within the D100 series for use as either Checklists, Aviation Data pages or other reminders. These screens are created on a PC using Dynon's free Product Support Program and then uploaded into the instrument.

The lists most often created are checklists covering start-up, pre-take-off, cruise, landing and different emergency scenarios. Checklists are presented as 2/3 page size allowing the native instrument function to always be present. This is ideal in an emergency situation: pilots can quickly call up the appropriate page and still have their native function present while they continue to fly the airplane.



Aviation Data
In identical fashion to checklists, pilots may additionally generate screens of aviation related data that they'd like to keep handy. Typical items might include airport data for those airports most frequently flown to, specific aircraft airspeed limits, light gun signals, emergency transponder codes or other items as typically presented on knee boards or found in flight manuals.

Creative uses might include logging oil changes, engine repairs or maintaining key phone numbers of suppliers, repair facilities etc. In short, creative individuals can imagine many ways to utilize this wide open resource as another way to view conveniently aviation related data with the push of a few buttons.

Color LCD



7" Color SuperBright Screen
The D100 series all utilize Dynon's newest 7” diagonal, sunlight-readable, color LCD. This display boasts a 854 x 480 pixel display that delivers up to three times the resolution offered by competitive units. This high resolution, combined with the D100 series' fast screen processor, result in a display that is crisp, fluid, and detailed.

The LCD's built-in backlight has a wide dynamic range with a top end of 800 nits with the standard Super-Bright display for easy viewing in bright daylight conditions. It can dim all the way down to 0.8 nits to accommodate night flight. Pilots may manually adjust the backlight to their viewing preference.

In addition to the very attractive appearance, the high resolution additionally affords split-screen configurations that seamlessly present the primary flight instrument data page along with auxiliary information. Further, when connected to other Dynon Avionics products using the Dynon Smart Avionics Bus, this split-screen capability permits pages from those other instruments to be displayed on the D100 series screen.

Dynon's large 7" screen format has been an immediate hit with pilots. The larger screen not only makes reading the numbers easier, but also facilitates a rapid scan when transitioning from outside to the instrument panel.

Super-Bright Screen Standard

All 7” screen D100 series products are shipped with the Dynon super-bright screen. This brighter display, which is also available as an upgrade on all older non-bright D100 series products, doubles the light output from 400 nits to 800. This increased light transmission improves screen contrast and legibility substantially on bright, sunny days, without sacrificing the LCD operating life or increasing power requirements.

Split Screen

Split Screen Capability
Dynon's class-leading high resolution LCD not only translates into reduced eyestrain, but also enables viewing of additional data in a split-screen format without compromising the fidelity of the primary flight instruments. The new split-screen feature partitions the display to simultaneously show the primary flight instruments along with additional interchangeable pages. This presentation method is much preferred and superior over systems that force the pilot to pick one view at the loss of another vital function.



The new split-screen feature partitions the screen into two parts. Each split portion of the screen may be filled with pages either supplied by the native instrument or by another Dynon instrument connected via the DSAB (Dynon Smart Avionics Bus).

The display is available in a variety of screen configurations as depicted.

Each pages is written specifically for and optimized for each screen size. For example, everything possible on a full (3/3) screen size EFIS page will not be available on the smaller 1/3 EFIS page.

Selecting the Desired Screen

Up to 10 predefined screen configurations may be stored in the instrument at this time. Pilots may arrange the available configured screens in the order desired. Access to each screen in flight is directly accessible via hotkey buttons that will sequence through a pre-ordered list known as the "Hotkey Rotation".

Not all defined screen configurations need to be sequenced into the Hotkey Rotation. They are typically reserved only for those screens most often needed or desired in flight. A separate menu is provided to allow pilots to call up the entire list of stored screens whenever occasion demands.

Every possible split screen configuration available on the FlightDEK-D180, EFIS-D100, and EMS-D120 can be viewed HERE.

Screen Displays

Screen Displays
All of the screens possible on the D100-series product lines are presented below. Many of the pages offer user-definable features which will slightly alter the presentation. This is particularly true of the engine monitoring functions where the desired gauges and arrangement will differ significantly depending upon the engine type and desired placement of Info Items.

Note that all of the screens despicted below are available on the FlightDEK-D180, as well as on EFIS-D100 units that are receiving EMS information over the Dynon Smart Avionics Bus (DSAB) and EMS-D120 units that are receiving EFIS information over DSAB.

Engine Probes & Packages

Engine Probes & Packages
Dynon offers a variety of engine probes. These can be purchased individually, but are usually bundled in complete engine packages. Engine probe packages include the wiring harnesses and all probes required. The purchase of an engine package saves approximately 10% over buying its contents separately.

At present, Dynon offers engine probe packages for the following engines:
  • EMSKIT-L4C, Lycoming/Continental, 4 Cylinder, Carbureted
  • EMSKIT-L4F, Lycoming/Continental, ULPower, 4 Cylinder, Fuel Injected

The probes, harnesses, and sensors included in each of these kits are detailed in our price list and order form. Additionally, individual sensors and harnesses are available for purchase to accomodate customers that do not have one of the above engines.

Easy Setup





Easy Setup
With 27 different inputs and 3 outputs possible, builders will quickly come to the realization that there is a fair amount of setup involved. To make this process as straight forward and easy as possible, Dynon has implemented a number of features to simplify this to the extent possible.

They include:
  1. Dedicated Input/Output Connections - All but 3 of the wiring inputs into the back of the instrument are dedicated to a particular measurement thereby simplifying the otherwise complicated task of wiring. Only three connection pins are general purpose in nature and require additional attention by installers during setup.
  2. Wiring Harnesses - Dynon offers pre-wired harnesses with the full complement of wires possible. Two harnesses are offered; one 25 pin cable for all thermocouple connections (EGT/CHT) and a 37pin cable for all remaining input/output connections. The thermocouple cable's 25 pin connector is directly compatible with GRT's EIS-4000 systems to simplify upgrading to Dynon's graphical system.
  3. Easy setup menus - Builders begin by defining high level "Global" parameters like how many cylinders, gas tanks and Info Bars are required. The menu system then automatically configures the detailed setups accordingly to limit redundancy and avoid confusion.
  4. An Easy to Follow Installation Guide - Is freely available on our web site and continuously kept updated to assist builders every step of the way.
