series resistor to prevent operator injury.
i
GENERAL ADVISORIES FOR ALL UNITS (CONT)
d. Ground any tools (and soldering equipment) that will contact the unit. Contact with the operator's hand
is a sufficient ground for hand tools that are electrically isolated.
e. All ESDS replacement components are shipped in conductive foam or tubes and must be stored in their
shipping containers until installed.
f. ESDS devices and assemblies that are removed from a unit must immediately be put on the conductive
work surface or in conductive containers.
g. Place repaired or disconnected circuit cards in aluminum foil or in plastic bags that have a layer of, or
are made with, conductive material.
h. Do not touch ESDS devices/assemblies or remove them from their containers until they are needed.
Failure to handle ESDS devices as described above can permanently damage them. This damage can cause
immediate or premature device failure.

1.1 INTRODUCTION
This publication provides all the specifications, installation instructions, principles of operation, and system
maintenance for the Collins EFIS-85B(3/13) and EFIS-86B(3/13) Electronic Flight Instrument Systems
(EFIS). Refer to Table 1-1 for a list of equipment covered. A typical EFIS system is shown in Figure 1-1.
Note
Throughout this publication the term EFIS is used when referring to the EFIS-85B(3/13) and
EFIS-86B(3/13) systems. Differences between the systems will be explained as necessary.
The information and instructions in this publication are Business and Regional Systems recommendations.
Information in this book does not necessarily correspond with any STC or actual aircraft installation and
wiring. This publication can not be used instead of an STC.
An EFIS system consists of two or more electronic display units and their associated drive and control units.
The display units use high resolution, black matrix, shadow mask, color cathode ray tubes (crt’s) as the dis-
play medium. The separate equipments may be configured into a variety of system configurations. Typical
configurations consist of three or five crt’s.
The crt’s display the information now found on the mechanical ADI and HSI. Additional information, such as
weather radar, navaid/waypoint locations, airspeed, moving map display, FCS mode annunciation, autopi-
lot/yaw damper engage status, attitude comparator warnings, decision height, checklists, and diagnostic
messages may also be displayed.
The typical EADI presents a multicolor crt display of airplane attitude and flight control system steering
commands, VOR, localizer, TACAN, MAZ, or LNAV deviation, and glideslope, MGP, or preselected altitude
deviation. Flight control system mode annunciation, autopilot engage annunciation, attitude sensor annun-
ciation, marker beacon annunciation, radio altitude, decision height set and annunciation, fast-slow devia-
tion or angle-of-attack deviation, indicated airspeed, airspeed trend vector, altitude alert, and excessive ILS
deviation (when Category II configured) are also displayed. The EFD also provides a high-temperature
warning output that can drive an external installer supplied annunciator. This annunciator will illuminate
if the internal temperature of the EFD reaches +95 °C (+203 °F) in still air.
The typical EHSI presents a multicolor crt display of the airplane horizontal navigation situation. Informa-
tion displayed includes compass heading, selected heading, selected VOR, localizer, MAZ, or LNAV course
and deviation (including annunciation of deviation type), navigation sensor annunciation, digital selected
course/desired track readout, excessive ILS deviation (when Category II configured), heading sensor annun-
ciation, ILS and heading comparator warnings (ILS only if Category II configured), to/from information,
back localizer annunciation, distance to station/waypoint, glideslope, MGP, or VNAV deviation (VNAV not
available when certain statuses of the DSP are used), ground speed, time-to-go, elapsed time or wind, course
information and source annunciation from a second navigation sensor, weather radar target alert, waypoint
alert when LNAV or RNAV is the navigation sensor, and a bearing pointer that can be driven by VOR,
LNAV or ADF sensors as selected on the display select panel. The EHSI can also be operated in an approach
format or an enroute format with or without weather radar information included on the display. The EFD
also provides a high-temperature warning output that can drive an external installer supplied annunciator.
This annunciator will illuminate if the internal temperature of the EFD reaches +95 °C (+203 °F) in still air.
1.2.3 Display Select Panel (DS P) for EFIS-85B(3) and -86B(3) Systems
The display select panel provides navigation sensor selection, bearing pointer selection, format selection,
navigation data selection (ground speed, time-to-go, elapsed time, and wind direction/speed), and the selec-
tion of VNAV (if the airplane has a VNAV system), weather, or second navigation sensor on the EHSI. A DH
SET knob that allows decision height to be set on the EADI is also provided. Additionally, course, course di-
rect to, heading, and heading sync are selected from the DSP. (Display dimming and the start/stop function
for the elapsed timer are controlled by external airframe supplied controls.)
1.2.4 Display Control Panel (D CP) for EFIS-85B(13) and -86B(13) Systems
The display control panel provides navigation sensor selection, EHSI format selection, bearing pointer selec-
tion, and the selection of weather, preset course from a second navigation sensor, or course transfer function
on the EHSI. A DH SET knob that allows decision height to be set on the EADI, and a button for initiating
radio altimeter test is also provided. Dual concentric knobs are provided for EADI and EHSI display dim-
ming. In the 5-tube EFIS system, two DCP’s are required.
1.2.5 Course Heading Panel (C HP) for EFIS-85B(13) and -86B(13) Systems
The course heading panel provides control of the course and heading select functions for the system. The
CHP also provides for selection of the course direct to and heading sync functions. Additionally, ground
speed, time-to-go, elapsed time, and wind direction/speed are selected from the CHP. An ET button for initi-
ating and completing timing functions is also provided. In the 5-tube EFIS system, one CHP-85D or two
CHP-86B’s are required.
The display processor unit provides sensor input processing and switching, the necessary deflection and
video signals, and power for the electronic flight displays. The DPU is capable of driving two electronic flight
displays with different deflection and video signals. For example, an EADI on one display and an EHSI on
the other. The DPU also provides a high temperature warning output that can drive an external installer
supplied annunciator. This annunciator will illuminate if the internal temperature of the DPU reaches
+70 °C (+158 °F) in still air.
The weather radar panel provides MODE control (OFF, STBY, TEST, NORM, WX, and MAP), RANGE se-
lection (10, 25, 50, 100, 200, and 300 nmi), and system operating controls for the display of weather radar in-
formation on the MFD and the EHSI’s when RDR is selected on the MFD and/or the display select panel.

The multifunction display is a multicolor crt display unit that mounts in the instrument panel in the space
normally provided for the weather radar indicator. Standard functions displayed by the unit include weather
radar, pictorial navigation map, and page data.
Additional functions are available when the multifunction display is used with a compatible flight manage-
ment system such as the Collins FMS-90. Additional functions available include waypoint definition, display
of multiple waypoints, and remote data.
The multifunction processor unit provides sensor input processing and switching and the necessary deflec-
tion and video signals for the multifunction display. The MPU can provide the deflection and video signals to
the EADI and EHSI displays in the event of failures to either or both display processor units. The MPU is
similar to the DPU except the MPU has expanded input/output capabilities for a second set of airplane sen-
sors. The MPU also provides a high temperature warning output that can drive an external installer sup-
plied annunciator. This annunciator will illuminate if the internal temperature of the MPU reaches +70 °C
(+158 °F) in still air.
Refer to Table 1-2 for system specifications that include environmental, physical size, weight, mounting,
cooling, and input power requirements. Table 1-3 provides input specifications and Table 1-4 provides output
specifications for the EFIS-85B(3/13) and EFIS-86B(3/13).

Refer to Table 1-5 for a list of the necessary equipment categories and representative equipment types that
interface with the DPU and MPU units. The letter “I” indicates that, in general, the representative equip-
ment shall provide data to EFIS. The letter “O” indicates that EFIS provides outputs to the external equip-
ment.
The EFIS system accepts weather radar data from a Collins WXT-250B Weather Radar R/T Unit. The
WXP-85C/D Weather Radar Panel provides the pilot interface and control signals to the R/T similar to the
controls provided by the weather radar indicator normally used by the WXT-250B.
The RDP-300 is a handheld keyboard that plugs into a jack on the front face of the MFD-85A/B Multifunc-
tion Display where it receives power and is used to enter or change checklist page and emergency data in the
MFD. The RDP-300 is normally used before and during preflight; rarely during flight. The unit should be
stored (not mounted) in a location accessible to the flight crew.
The handheld CEU-85/85A is used to enter up to 100 pages of combined checklist page and emergency page
data into the MFD instead of entering it manually using the RDP-300. The CEU-85/85A plugs into a jack on
the front face of the MFD-85A/B Multifunction Display where it receives power and is normally used before
preflight; rarely during flight. The checklist is loaded into the CEU-85 from an Apple* II Plus/IIe/IIe En-
hanced computer that contains a Collins Pro Line II Interface Card and checklist processing disk software.
The checklist is loaded into the CEU-85A from an IBM or compatible personal computer and master check-
list processing software.
The FMM-85 Fan Monitor Module mounts directly onto any one of the four fan frame sides and is used to
monitor fan motor speed. If fan motor speed falls below a preset level, the FMM-85 will sense the change and
provide a ground to energize an installer-furnished, instrument panel-mounted, “LOW FAN SPEED” annun-
ciator.
The ADA-85 Air Data Adapter mounts in the aircraft radio equipment rack and converts Manchester format
serial air data from the ADC-80( ) Air Data Computer into Commercial Standard Digital Bus (CSDB) format
serial air data to interface with the EFIS-85B(3/13) and EFIS-86B(3/13) DPU and MPU units.

2.1 GENERAL
Installation data in this section consists of preinstallation checks; special cabling procedures; requirements,
removal, and installation of the EFIS units; and system interconnect diagrams. Installation data for the re-
mainder of the associated systems can be found in the applicable manuals.
Note
The information and instructions in this publication are Business and Regional Systems recommen-
dations. Information in this book does not necessarily correspond with any STC or actual aircraft in-
stallation and wiring. This publication cannot be used instead of an STC.
Caution
Do not store or place the EFD-85/86( ) or MFD-85( ) on metal surfaces within the proximity of a
strong magnetic field because the CRT display can be altered.
Unpack the equipment carefully and make a careful visual inspection of each unit for possible shipping
damage. All claims for damage should be filed with the transportation company involved. If claims for dam-
age are to be filed, save the original packing carton and materials. If no defects can be detected, replace
packing materials in the shipping container and save for future uses, such as storage or reshipment.
Before installing the equipment in the aircraft, check that applicable test procedures have been performed
for all units of the EFIS system. This ensures that the equipment meets performance specifications.
2.4 CABLING
2.4.1 Precautions
During preparation of the interconnect wiring cables, observe the following precautions:
Note
Keep cable length between EFIS units less than 15.24 m (50 feet). Keep all rear connector straps as
short as possible, preferably under 75.0 mm (3.0 in).
a. Bond and shield all parts of the aircraft electrical system, such as generators and ignition systems.
b. Keep cables away from heavy current-carrying circuits, pulse-transmitting equipment, and other inter-
ference sources.
c. Make all external connections to the equipment through designated connectors listed in outline and
mounting diagrams, Figure 2-2 through Figure 2-20.
d. Use FAA approved wiring only. Wiring sizes are listed on the interconnect diagrams.
e. Leave slack in the cable to allow free sway of the equipment and to keep the wire from breaking.
f. For balanced connections, use a twisted-pair, shielded wire for minimum pickup of electrostatic and mag-
netic fields. Avoid long runs of wire, and keep input and output circuits separated as much as possible.
g. Mark all interconnect wires in accordance with the Aircraft Electronics Association wire marking stan-
dard as shown in Figure 2-24. (This is a recommended method. Other methods may be already in use.)
Caution
Power must be present only on the connector pins specified on the interconnect wiring diagram. Ex-
tensive damage can result to the units if power is present on any other pins.
h. After installation of the cables in the aircraft and before installation of the equipment, check to ensure
that aircraft power is applied to only the specified pins.
Refer to Collins UMT-( ) Mount and Thinline II Connectors Instruction Book, CPN 523-0772277, for detailed
procedures on connector and contact preparation. Refer to paragraph 2 for UMT-( ) mating connector kit
(CPN 634-1020-001) assembly information.
a. Strip proper amount of insulation from wire so conductor can be inserted as far as possible into slot of
connector pin. No bare wire should extend from rear of pin, and insulation should be crimped in pin in-
sulation barrel.
b. Crimp each interconnect wire in a contact with crimping tool. Refer to Table 2-1 for mating connector
contacts and special tools required. Refer to Table 2-2 and outline and mounting figures for connector kit
requirements.
Note
The connecting wire must be crimped in the contact so that the crimped portion of the contact can
enter the connector shell. The crimped portion must enter the shell to provide positive locking of con-
tact in the shell.
c. Insert the contacts into the appropriate connector shell hole until the contact clicks into position. Refer
to Figure 2-1 for mating connector pin assignments. Refer to Table 2-1 for required insertion tools. Pull
lightly on the wire to ensure that the pin is properly locked.
d. Extraction tools are listed in Table 2-1. To remove a contact, slide extraction tool into the mating side of
connector housing. Push plunger into connector cavity, and pull wire and contact out opposite side.
A typical interconnect wiring diagram for the EFIS equipment is provided in Figure 2-2.
The interconnect is arranged to provide wiring data in as convenient form as possible to allow installation
information to be prepared. Signal flow arrows are shown on most interconnect wires to indicate which unit
is the signal source.

Correct grounding techniques must be used during installation. Improper grounding techniques may cause
an unwanted voltage potential and/or noise to exist on the signal common lines. This unwanted signal may
then be induced/injected into circuits that could cause erratic or inaccurate system operation. Refer to the
notes in the interconnect diagrams.
Standard wire size is #22 AWG unless specified otherwise. Larger wire is used for specific functions in the
interconnect. Refer to the notes in the interconnect diagrams for special wiring size.
Many of the signals used in the system require protection to prevent noise from appearing on the signal
wires. This protection is usually provided by twisting two or three wires together or by twisting and shield-
ing two or three wires. Refer to the notes in the interconnect diagrams for instructions about tying the
shields to ground and other shielding techniques.
Refer to Table 2-2 for installation hardware listing and to the outline and mounting diagrams in this instal-
lation section for mating connector information.
Figure 2-25 through Figure 2-32 are EFIS system schematics. These diagrams are prepared for all EFIS
boxes and are included to aid installation planning. All input and output pin numbers are shown along with
a schematic of the first and last stages.
The EFD-85/86( ), MFD-85A, DPU-85H/86H, and MPU-85H/86H require that forced-air cooling be provided.
These units are capable of operation at the short-time elevated operating temperatures as specified in the
environmental requirements without forced-air cooling. However, continuous operation at these levels is not
considered normal.
It is required that the forced-air cooling system be operating whenever the EFIS equipment is energized. In
addition, it is required that there be at least one blower for each DPU, MPU, and MFD, and for each pair of
EFD units in the EFIS system. If the UMT-14A/15A Mount (or other ac-powered fans) or UMT-14B/15B
Mount (or other dc-powered fans) are used on the system components, the installation should be designed to
ensure that the equipment is not energized unless the fans are energized also. Ground operation of the sys-
tem without the cooling air should not be allowed.
When any maintenance activity is performed on the EFIS system, the supporting cooling system should be
checked for proper operation.
The EFD is enclosed in a housing which has cooling air holes on the top, bottom, both sides, and rear sur-
faces. The unit mounting flange is attached to the outer surface of the instrument panel. Vertical mounting
of the circuit cards results in a low-resistance internal path for cooling air entering the bottom and sides and
flowing over the components to exit through the top surface. High-dissipation components are mounted on a
finned heat sink located on the left side of the unit as viewed from the cockpit.
The preferred method for forced-air cooling of the EFD is to provide a stream of air directed at the bottom
surfaces of the lower unit as the units are mounted one above the other in the instrument panel. Alternately,
the air stream may impinge at the lower left or right sides of the units. The temperature of the forced air
should be maintained as low as possible and must never exceed the rated operating temperature of the
equipment. The air velocity should be between 100 and 200 feet per minute. The forced-air acts to augment
the natural convection cooling and results in substantially reduced operating temperatures.
Construction of the MFD and EFD is similar. A mounting tray attaches to the inner surface of the instru-
ment panel, and openings are provided in the tray for cooling air. High dissipation components are mounted
on a finned heat sink at the connector end of the unit.
Forced air cooling of the MFD is accomplished by providing a stream of air directed at the perforated lower
surface and finned heat sink. The temperature of the forced air should be maintained as low as possible and
must never exceed the rated operating temperature of the equipment. The air velocity should be between
100 and 200 feet per minute. The forced air augments the natural convection cooling and results in substan-
tially reduced operating temperatures.
The DPU and MPU are designed to make effective use of forced-air cooling. Cooling air enters through a pat-
tern of openings at the bottom, flows over the components of the vertically mounted circuit cards, and exits
through air holes in the top and side surfaces of the dust cover.
It is required that forced air be introduced at the base of the units and allowed to exit through the top sur-
face. The inlet temperature of the forced air should be maintained as low as possible and must never exceed
the rated operating temperature of the equipment.
Uniformly distributed airflow of 2 pounds per minute (approximately 30 cubic feet per minute) is required
for each DPU and 2.6 pounds per minute (approximately 40 cubic feet per minute) is required for the MPU.
Note
Refer to EFIS-85/86 SIL 1-83 for additional and more detailed forced-air cooling installation re-
quirements. This service information letter (SIL) is available from Business and Regional Systems of
Rockwell Collins, Inc. The installer should note that if UMT-14B/15B mounts are being used, the ini-
tial dc in-rush current for the fan in theUMT-14B/15B can be a high as 5A.
Although the EFIS system components are extensively protected from voltage transients on the +28-V dc
power inputs (it meets TSO environmental requirements), it is recommended that provisions be included
that allow the systems to be powered down during engine starts and during any other major aircraft electri-
cal system activity. Improvements in reliability will be seen over systems that are not powered down during
transients.
The following procedures detail how to install an EFIS system. These procedures must be performed as de-
scribed to ensure proper operation and performance. Any deviations from these instructions may result in
reduced performance and/or damage to the equipment.
Warning
In the interest of personal safety, it is recommended that the aircraft battery master switch be
turned off to disconnect power before installing or removing equipment from the aircraft.
Degauss the EADI and mount it directly above the electronic horizontal situation indicator, laterally cen-
tered on the pilot’s instrument panel. Position it so that the top of the instrument remains visible when the

Ensure that all equipment connectors and mating connectors are securely mated. After all cabling has been
installed and equipment mounted in the aircraft, perform the following test procedure to verify the operation
of the EFIS. The test must be performed using the aircraft power supplies. The following test procedures are
intended only to ensure that the system equipments are properly connected. For a complete system test pro-
cedure, refer to the maintenance section of this instruction book. If a FAIL indication appears on any crt at
any time, perform the test procedures that are located in the maintenance section.
The following systems or equivalent simulators must be operational to complete these tests:
a. Attitude/heading system
b. VOR/LOC/GS/DME simulator
c. Radar altitude simulator
d. Flight control system
e. Air data system
A VOR/LOC ramp test set that simulates localizer and glideslope transmitters is required to perform the
postinstallation test. This test set must have provisions for testing the localizer signal to 0.155 DDM and the
glideslope signal to 0.175 DDM. These modulation levels produce 2-dot indications on localizer and
glideslope deviation displays.
Note
Unless otherwise specified, the following steps refer to the no 1 side units, but should be repeated for
the no 2 side, reading all references to no 1 as no 2.

3.1 GENERAL
This section of the EFIS instruction book contains a description of the EFIS controls and indicators. Each
unit is discussed in the following paragraphs.
3.2 DCP-85E DISPLAY CON TROL PANEL (DCP), DISPLAYS AND CONTROLS DESCRIPTION
The DCP provides the pilot with the controls needed to select the various operating formats and functions
for the EHSI. The DCP also provides EADI and EHSI dimming controls. The only other DCP controls
associated with the EADI are the DH SET knob and the radio altimeter test (RA TST) pushbutton. In
addition to the front panel controls, the DCP receives and stores course and heading information from the
CHP in nonvolatile memory and transmits it to the DPU-85H/86H Display Processor Unit associated with
that DCP. This same information is also transmitted to the MPU-85H/86H Multifunction Processor Unit
where it is processed for display on the MFD-85A Multifunction Display. Appropriate DCP mode status
information (ie: decision height, HSI mode, and status of the auxiliary data, bearing pointer, and course
arrow/deviation bar) will be stored in nonvolatile memory when power is removed from the system. This
information is used to initialize the EFIS-85B system in the same configuration that it was in prior to power
down.
The 3-position HSI-ARC-MAP format switch controls the EHSI display format. In the HSI position, the
EHSI full compass rose format is displayed in a manner very similar to the conventional electromechanical
HSI. Information displayed includes compass heading, selected heading, selected VOR, localizer, MAZ, or
LNAV course and deviation (including annunciation of deviation type), navigation sensor annunciation,
digital selected course/desired track readout, excessive ILS deviation (when Category II configured), heading
sensor annunciation, ILS and heading comparator warnings (ILS only if Category II configured), to/from
information, back course annunciation, distance to station/waypoint, glideslope, MGP, or VNV deviation (if a
VNAV is installed in the aircraft), ground speed, time-to-go, elapsed time or wind, preset course information
and source annunciation from a second navigation sensor, weather radar target alert, waypoint alert when
LNAV or RNAV is the navigation source, and a bearing pointer that can be driven by VOR, LNAV or ADF
sensors as selected on the DCP.
The ARC position selects an expanded compass segment (approximately 80 degrees) across the top of the
display with the airplane symbol at the bottom. This format gives the pilot information similar to that
presented in the full compass rose mode, in an enlarged, easily readable format. The preset second course
navigation sensor (if selected by the CRS PRE button on the DCP) is shown by the VOR or waypoint symbol
and identifier placed in proper rho-theta position with respect to the aircraft symbol and selected range.
Weather radar information can also be displayed in this format.
The MAP position also uses the expanded compass segment but places VOR and/or waypoint symbols for
both active selected course and preset second course in proper rho-theta position with respect to the aircraft
symbol and selected range. A selected course line is drawn through the VOR symbol with its position
controlled by the CRS knob on the CHP. The station ident is displayed next to the VOR symbol on the side
nearest the center of the display. Waypoint strings (up to three waypoints) are shown with the waypoint
number next to the symbol and with the symbols connected by desired track lines. Weather radar
information can also be displayed in this format.
For both the ARC and MAP formats, range is selected from the DCP when weather radar mode is not
selected, or from the WXP when weather radar mode is selected.
Note
The following definition of on-side sensors and cross-side sensors are used throughout this operation
section: The on-side sensor is the navigation sensor normally associated with the side on which the
displays appear. For example, for the pilot, the on-side sensors are VOR 1, LNV 1, DME 1, etc. The
cross-side sensors for the pilot are VOR 2, LNV 2, DME 2, etc. Conversely, for the copilot, the on-side
sensors are VOR 2, LNV 2, DME 2 etc, and the cross-side sensors are VOR 1, LNV 1, DME 1, etc.
Rotating the SEL/RNG knob selects range on the EHSI when in ARC or MAP format when weather radar
mode (RDR button) is not selected, and when the knob is not being used to select a navigation sensor. A
single cyan dashed range mark is in the center of the display and one half of the full-scale range is displayed
at the right end of the range arc. Available full scale ranges are 5, 10, 25, 50, 100, 200, 300, and 600 nm.
Rotating the SEL/RNG knob allows the available EHSI navigation sensors to be scanned when the
appropriate menu mode is selected as described below.
3.2.4 Course Active (CRS ACT ), Course Preset (CRS PRE), and Bearing (BRG) Buttons
The three DCP buttons (CRS ACT, CRS PRE, and BRG) are used in conjunction with the SEL/RNG knob to
control the selection of navigation sensors to be connected to the EHSI active selected course arrow, the
preset second course arrow, and the bearing pointer. Strapping in the interconnect wiring allows only a
certain subset of the possible navigation sources to be scanned by the SEL/RNG knob and selected by the
CRS ACT, CRS PRE, or BRG pushbuttons. Once a selection has been made, that selection is retained until
changed by the user, even when power is removed from the system.
Note
Only those navigation sensors enabled by strapping in the interconnect wiring will be shown as
possible selections.
When the desired sensor is displayed, pressing the CRS ACT button a second time connects that sensor
to the active (solid) selected course arrow, and the white box will be replaced with the appropriate
nonflashing annunciator. If the navigation sensor is on-side VOR/LOC the navigation sensor
annunciator is green. If the navigation sensor is an on-side LNAV the annunciator is white. The
annunciators are yellow for all cross-side navigation sensors. The information shown on the active
selected course arrow is being supplied to the on-side flight control system. Pressing the CRS ACT
button twice, without rotating the SEL/RNG knob, reenables the previous navigation sensor. When the
selection is incomplete, the box will flash.
b. Preset Second Course (CRS PRE) Button
The CRS PRE button is also used in conjunction with the SEL/RNG knob to select a second navigation
sensor for the cyan colored preset (dual dashed line) second course arrow. The selection procedure is
similar to that for the active selected course arrow except that if the CRS PRE button is pressed twice
without rotating the SEL/RNG knob, the preset course arrow will be removed from the EHSI display.
This feature allows presetting a course and then recalling it when desired. The preset second course is
used for reference only and the information shown is not available to the flight control system and VOR
deviation is always angular. The navigation sensor selected for the preset second course appears in a box
in cyan at the left of the display immediately below the navigation sensor annunciation for the active
selected course.
c. Bearing (BRG) Button
The BRG button operates the same as the CRS PRE button, except when first pressed, it calls up a
magenta bearing pointer and a navigation sensor annunciator for the bearing pointer. The sensor
annunciation is in the lower left with the letters BRG, in magenta, above the sensor type. If the sensor is
an on-side VOR or ADF, the sensor annunciation is green. If the sensor is an on-side LNAV, the sensor
annunciation is white. All cross-side sensors are annunciated in yellow. Depending on interconnect
wiring strapping, rotating the SEL/RNG knob will scan the available navigation sensors and cause the
available sensors to appear as follows:
ADF1 VOR1 RNV1 INS1 VLF1 LRN1 LNV1
ADF2 VOR2 RNV2 INS2 VLF2 LRN2 LNV2
Note
Only those navigation sensors enabled by strapping in the interconnect wiring will be shown as
possible selections.
Rotating the SEL/RNG knob will cause the sensor annunciation to change from one sensor to the next.
Pressing the BRG button again connects that source to the bearing pointer. Pressing the BRG button twice
without rotating the SEL/RNG knob will remove the bearing pointer from the EHSI display.
The preset second course may be automatically selected as the active selected course by pressing the CRS
XFR button. When the CRS XFR button is pressed, the current active course arrow and its identifier are
removed from the EHSI display, the preset course arrow becomes a single solid line, the color changes to the
active color, and the navigation sensor annunciator is moved to the upper (active) location. The previous
active selected course sensor now becomes the preset second course and is removed from the display. It may
be recalled as the dual dashed cyan preset second course by pressing the CRS PRE button twice.
Note
Depending on the aircraft installation, if the FCS is not in HDG mode and the source for the active
course arrow is changed or if the CRS XFR function is selected on the DCP, the FCS will
automatically clear to heading hold mode and the NAV mode must be reengaged if desired.
The DH knob is used to set the decision height displayed in the lower right-hand corner of the EADI.
Clockwise rotation of the knob increases decision height. The DH set value is held in nonvolatile memory
when power is removed from the unit.
The RA TST pushbutton is a momentary action switch that enables the radio altimeter test function. When
pressed, the EADI displays the radio altitude that is output by the radio altimeter when it is in self-test. DH
annunciation is displayed if the DH set value is greater than the test altitude.
The RDR button adds weather radar information to the EHSI when ARC or MAP formats are being
displayed and WX or NORM mode has been selected on the WXP. At power on, radar data is not displayed.
The first press of the RDR button adds weather radar information to the display. The second press removes
the weather radar information.
When weather radar information is being displayed, range is controlled by the RANGE switch on the WXP-
85( ) Weather Radar Panel. The range will appear at the right end of a solid cyan range mark (center of the
EHSI) and the weather radar mode will appear at the left end of the range mark.
The DIM control consists of a pair of concentric knobs to control each crt’s intensity. One knob controls the
EADI; the other controls the EHSI. The knobs are sized so that they normally turn together, but may be
turned independently to balance the displays.
3.3 CHP-85D/86B COURSE HE ADING PANEL (CHP), DISPLAYS AND CONTROLS DESCRIPTION
The CHP provides control of the course and heading select functions for various configurations of the EFIS-
85B systems. The CHP provides outputs to the DCP’s where the data is stored in nonvolatile memory and
sent to the respective DPU-85H/86H Display Processor Unit associated with that DCP.
The CHP-85D provides two CRS select controls (one for each half of a 5-tube system) with a common HDG
select function. The CHP-86B provides a single CRS select control and a single HDG select control, and can
be used with any configuration of the EFIS-85B system. The panels also provide for selection of course direct
to and heading sync. Additionally, ground speed, time-to-go, elapsed time, and wind direction/speed are
selected from the CHP. An ET button for initiating and completing timing functions is also provided. The
CHP-85D provides dual independent ground speed, time-to-go, elapsed time, and wind direction/speed
capabilities. In the 5-tube EFIS system, one CHP-85D or two CHP-86B’s are required.
A single HDG knob in the center of the CHP-85D is used to simultaneously position the heading cursors on
both of the EHSI’s. The HDG select knob on the CHP-86B controls the heading cursor on only one side of the
aircraft (two CHP-86B’s are required for a 5-tube EFIS-85B system). In an installation with two CHP-86B’s,
the HDG knob on the left side CHP also controls the heading cursor on the MFD unless control has been
transferred to the right side. Each heading knob is connected to an increment/decrement encoder that
controls circuitry in one of the DCP’s. The actual selected course values are stored in nonvolatile memory.
Figure 3-2. CHP-85D and CHP-86B Course Heading Panels, Controls and Indicators
The HDG knob includes a PUSH HDG SYNC button which, when pressed, causes the heading cursor to
rotate and match the airplane heading under the lubber line on the EHSI.
Two selected CRS knobs (CRS 1 and CRS 2) are located on the CHP-85D; one for the course arrow on the
pilot’s EHSI and one for the copilot’s EHSI. The single CRS select knob on the CHP-86B controls the course
arrow on only one side of the aircraft (two CHP-86B’s are required for a 5-tube EFIS-85B system). Each
course select knob is connected to an increment/decrement encoder that controls circuitry in one of the
DCP’s. The actual selected course values are stored in nonvolatile memory.
The CRS knob includes a center PUSH CRS DIRECT button which provides a direct-to function. When the
PUSH CRS DIRECT button is pushed, the course arrow associated with the CRS CTL button is
automatically rotated directly toward the station until the VOR deviation is zero.
The CRS CTL button determines whether the course knob is controlling the active selected course arrow or
the preset second course arrow. An appropriately colored knob shaped course control annunciator symbol
(green for VOR/LOC, white for LNAV, or yellow for active selected course depending on whether the
navigation sensor is on-side or cross-side, or cyan for preset second course) is displayed next to the
navigation sensor annunciation to indicate which course arrow is currently being controlled by the CRS
knob.
The NAV DTA button provides sequential display of TTG (time to go), GSP (ground speed), ET (elapsed
time), or wind information (if available) in the upper right corner of the EHSI. Time-to-go and ground speed
are associated with the navigation sensor currently driving the active selected course arrow. Wind, time-to-
go, and ground speed displays are dashed if valid data is not being received.
When ET mode has been selected by pressing the NAV DTA button, the output from an elapsed timer is
displayed on the EHSI. The timer is controlled by the ET button on the CHP. The timer has three modes:
reset, start, and stop. Each time the external switch is actuated, the timer advances to the next mode in the
sequence. In reset mode, the display will indicate 00:00. When start mode is initiated, the timer begins
counting. Minutes and seconds are displayed in XX:XX format from 00:00 to 59:59. Continuing from 59:59,
the format switches to HZ:XX, displaying hours and minutes from H1:00 to H9:59. Beyond H9:59, the
display indicates —:— (overrun). Going to stop mode stops the timer, and the present count on the display is
held until the timer sequence is advanced to reset mode again. After the timer is counting, TTG, GSP or
wind can be selected via the NAV DTA button without disturbing the ET count. NAV DTA selection is stored
in nonvolatile memory and the last selection will appear at the next power on. If ET is that selection, the
display will reset to 00:00 at power on.
3.4 DSP-85A DISPLAY SELEC T PANEL (DSP), DISPLAYS AND CONTROLS DESCRIPTION
The DSP provides for pilot input of selected heading and selected course for the EFIS system as well as
providing the user with the controls needed to select the various operating formats and functions for the
EHSI. The DSP controls associated with the EADI are the DH SET knob, the radio altimeter test (TST)
pushbutton, and the VNAV button (if the airplane is equipped with a VNAV system). In addition to the front
panel controls, the DSP stores course and heading information in nonvolatile memory and transmits it to the
DPU-85H/86H Display Processor Unit associated with that DSP. This same information is also transmitted
to the MPU-85H/86H Multifunction Processor Unit where it is processed for display on the MFD-85A
Multifunction Display.
The 3-position FORMAT switch controls the EHSI display format. In the ROSE position, the EHSI full
compass rose format is displayed in a manner very similar to the conventional electromechanical HSI.
Information displayed includes compass heading, selected heading, selected VOR, localizer, MAZ, or LNAV
course and deviation (including annunciation of deviation type), navigation source annunciation, digital
selected course/desired track readout, excessive ILS deviation (when Category II configured), heading source
annunciation, ILS and heading comparator warnings (ILS only if Category II configured), to/from
information, back localizer annunciation, distance to station/waypoint, glideslope, MGP, or VNAV deviation
(VNAV not available when certain statuses of the DSP are used), ground speed, time-to-go, elapsed time or
wind, course information and source annunciation from a second navigation source, weather radar target
alert, waypoint alert when LNAV or RNAV is the navigation source, and a bearing pointer that can be
driven by VOR, LNAV or ADF sources as selected on the display select panel.
The APPR (approach) position selects an expanded compass segment (approximately 80 degrees) across the
top of the display with the airplane symbol at the bottom. This format gives the pilot information similar to
that presented in the full compass rose mode, in an enlarged, easily readable format. The second course
navigation sensor (if selected by the 2ND CRS button on the DSP) is shown by the VOR or waypoint symbol
and identifier placed in proper rho-theta position with respect to the airplane symbol and selected range.
Weather radar information can also be displayed in this format.
The ENR (enroute) position also uses the expanded compass segment but places VOR and/or waypoint
symbols for both primary and second course in proper rho-theta position with respect to the airplane symbol
and selected range. A selected course line is drawn through the VOR symbol with its position controlled by
the CRS knob on the DSP. The station ident is displayed next to the VOR symbol on the side nearest the
center of the display. Waypoint strings (up to three waypoints) are shown with the waypoint number next to
the symbol and with the symbols connected by desired track lines. Weather radar information can also be
displayed in this format.
For both the APPR and ENR formats, range is selected from the DSP when weather radar mode is not
selected, or from the WXP when weather radar mode is selected.
Note
The following definition of on-side sources and cross-side sources are used throughout this operation
section: The on-side source is the navigation source normally associated with the side on which the
displays appear. For example, for the pilot, the on-side sources are VOR 1, LNV 1, DME 1, etc. The
cross-side sources for the pilot are VOR 2, LNV 2, DME 2, etc. Conversely, for the copilot, the on-side
sources are VOR 2, LNV 2, DME 2 etc, and the cross-side sources are VOR 1, LNV 1, DME 1, etc.
The RNG knob, concentric with the FORMAT switch, selects range on the EHSI when in APPR or ENR
format and when weather radar mode (WX button) is not selected. A single cyan dashed range mark is in the
center of the display and one half of the full-scale range is displayed at the right end of the range arc.
Available full scale ranges are 5, 10, 25, 50, 100, 200, 300, and 600 nm.
The rotary CRS switch selects the navigation sensor to be displayed on the primary course arrow (solid
single bar course arrow) on the EHSI. The three possible selections are OFF, VOR/LOC, and LNAV (lateral
navigation system). The applicable navigation sensor is annunciated at the left center of the display. In the
OFF position, no course arrow is displayed but a magenta heading line connects the airplane symbol and the
heading cursor if in APPR or ENR format. The sensors driving the primary course arrow in the VOR/LOC
and LNAV positions are strapped for sensor 1 or sensor 2 at the time of installation.
The rotary BRG switch selects the navigation sensor to be displayed on the EHSI bearing pointer. The five
possible selections are OFF (no bearing pointer display), VOR 1, VOR 2, WPT, and ADF. The sensors driving
the bearing pointer in the WPT and ADF positions are strapped for sensor 1 or sensor 2 at the time of
installation.
The DH SET knob is used to set the decision height displayed in the lower right-hand corner of the EADI.
Clockwise rotation of the knob increases decision height. The DH SET value is held in nonvolatile memory
when power is removed from the unit.
The TST pushbutton (part of DH SET knob) is a momentary action switch that enables the radio altimeter
test function. When pressed, the EADI displays the radio altitude that is output by the radio altimeter when
it is in self-test (50 ft for ALT-50/55). DH annunciation is displayed if the DH SET value is greater than the
test altitude.
The NAV DTA button provides sequential display of TTG (time-to-go), GSP (ground speed), ET (elapsed
time), or wind information (if available) in the upper right corner of the EHSI. Time-to-go and ground speed
are associated with the navigation sensor currently driving the primary course arrow. Wind, time-to-go, and
ground speed displays are dashed if valid data is not being received.
When ET mode has been selected by pressing the NAV DTA button, the output from an elapsed timer is
displayed on the EHSI. The timer is controlled by an external airframe supplied switch. The timer has three
modes: reset, start, and stop. Each time the external switch is actuated, the timer advances to the next mode
in the sequence. In reset mode, the display will indicate 00:00. When start mode is initiated, the timer
begins counting. Minutes and seconds are displayed in XX:XX format from 00:00 to 59:59. Continuing from
59:59, the format switches to HZ:XX, displaying hours and minutes from H1:00 to H9:59. Beyond H9:59, the
display indicates —:— (overrun). Going to stop mode stops the timer, and the present count on the display is
held until the timer sequence is advanced to reset mode again. After the timer is counting, TTG, GSP or
wind can be selected via the NAV DTA button without disturbing the ET count. NAV DTA selection is stored
in nonvolatile memory and the last selection will appear at the next power on. If ET is that selection, the
display will reset to 00:00 at power on.
The 2ND CRS button allows information from a second navigation source to be displayed on the EHSI. The
second course arrow is displayed in cyan as a solid arrowhead with a dual dashed shaft. The applicable
navigation sensor is annunciated in cyan below the primary course arrow sensor annunciator. At power on,
no second course is displayed. The first press of the 2ND CRS button annunciates LNV1 and the selected
sensor is LNAV 1. The second press of the 2ND CRS button annunciates LNV2 and the selected sensor is
LNAV 2 (this selection may be inhibited as an installation option). The third press of the 2ND CRS button
annunciates VOR1, and the fourth press annunciates VOR2. The next press of the 2ND CRS button turns
the second course arrow off again.
The WX button adds weather radar information to the EHSI when APPR or ENR formats are being
displayed and WX or NORM mode has been selected on the WXP. At power on, radar data is not displayed.
The first press of the WX button adds weather radar information to the display. The second press removes
the weather radar information.
When weather radar information is being displayed, range is controlled by the RANGE switch on the WXP-
85( ) Weather Radar Panel. The range will appear at the right end of the cyan range mark (center of the
EHSI) and the weather radar mode will appear at the left end of the range mark.
3.4.10 Vertical Navigation (VN AV) Pushbutton (Optional, will not be on all DSP-85A’s)
The VNAV button enables the presentation of vertical navigation data on the EHSI. At power on, vertical
navigation data is not displayed. The first press of the VNAV button adds vertical navigation data to the
display. The second press removes the vertical navigation data.
When using a digital VNAV unit, it is possible to receive VNAV and glideslope data at the same time. In this
case, glideslope will be displayed on the EADI and VNAV on the EHSI. When glideslope capture occurs,
VNAV will automatically be replaced by GS on the EHSI. It should be noted that VNAV data will never
appear on the EADI.
The heading knob is used to position the heading cursor on the on-side EHSI. The heading knob on the left
side DSP also controls the heading cursor on the MFD unless control has been transferred to the right side.
The heading knob is continuously variable and the selected heading value is stored in nonvolatile memory.
This value is retained if power is lost.
The heading knob includes a PUSH HDG SYNC button which, when pressed, causes the heading cursor to
rotate and match the airplane heading under the lubber line on the EHSI.
The course knob controls the position of the VOR course arrow for the on-side VOR. The course knob is
continuously variable and the selected course value is stored in nonvolatile memory. This value is retained if
OFF or LNAV is selected and/or power is lost.
The course knob includes a center PUSH CRS DIRECT button which provides a direct to function. When the
PUSH CRS DIRECT button is pushed and if VOR is the navigation sensor being displayed on the primary
course arrow, the course arrow is automatically rotated directly toward the station until the VOR deviation
is zero.
Following is a brief description of the MFD and its controls. Refer to Figure 3-4.
The multifunction display is a multicolor crt display unit that mounts in the instrument panel in the space
normally occupied by the weather radar indicator. Standard display functions include weather radar,
pictorial navigation map, and page data. Additional functions are available when the multifunction display
is used with a flight management system such as the Collins FMS-90, and includes waypoint definition,
display of multiple waypoints, and remote data.
PWR (power) Used to turn the MFD on or off. The mode that was selected when power is turned off
will be automatically reselected when power is reapplied.
Caution
If the MFD PWR button is off or if the RDR button is off, the radar receiver/transmitter may still be
transmitting. This will occur if the MODE switch on the WXP is in WX, NORM, or MAP position,
and could possibly result in injury to ground personnel.
RDR (radar) Allows detectable weather to be displayed (can be used with NAV button).
NAV (navigation) Enables navigation data to be selected and displayed (can be used with RDR button).
RMT (remote) Enables up to four remote sources of page data to be selected and displayed one at a
time.
PGE (page) or Allows user selection, control, and entry of alphanumeric information. Up to 100
EMG (emergency) pages of information is selectable for combined page and emergency use.
DATA jack Allows for remote programming, indexing, and revision of page and emergency data.
The Collins RDP-300 Remote Data Programmer or the CEU-85 Checklist Entry Unit
is plugged into the DATA jack.
INT (intensity) Provides an adjustable intensity control for MFD-85A display brightness.
Display select The four unlabeled pushbuttons on the right provide additional display control for
pushbuttons navigation, page, emergency, and remote modes of operation. Appropriate labels are
displayed to the left of these buttons when procedures dictate menu functions such as
index or sensor selection.
Joystick The “joystick” is a multiple position switch (lower right corner) which is used in NAV,
RMT, PGE, and EMG mode operations. In NAV mode, the joystick locates an MFD
enterable waypoint that can be transferred to the lateral navigation system, if
capable of receiving data. In RMT mode, the joystick can be used to slew through
pages or chapters of data if the remote system has the proper interface. In PGE or
EMG mode, the joystick is used to view different chapter titles and to move to new
chapters.
Line reverse Moves the cursor back (up the list) in the PGE or EMG modes and increases NAV
(delta, ∆) map range when RDR is not selected.
Line advance Moves the cursor ahead (down the list) in the PGE or EMG modes and decreases
(inverted delta, ∇) NAV map range when RDR is not selected.
Note
The line advance and reverse buttons change the navigation map range when the radar display is
not active. A 5- and 600-nmi range is also available with midrange mark annunciations of 2.5 and
300 nmi, respectively, when RDR is not selected. When RDR is selected and the WXP mode switch is
in TEST, WX, NORM, or MAP, the radar range control has priority over the navigation map range.
RCL (recall) Allows viewing of previously skipped lines when in the PGE or EMG mode. If in PGE
or EMG mode and NAV or RMT is selected, then pressing RCL immediately returns
the display to the line in the PGE or EMG chapter that was being displayed prior to
selecting NAV or RMT.
SKP (skip) Moves the cursor past a line in the PGE or EMG mode without changing its color.
This line is recallable at any time prior to chapter exit.
CLR (clear) Resets all lines of a selected chapter to yellow when in the PGE or EMG mode.
The WXP-85( ) Weather Radar Panel provides the data processing, mode control, range selection, and system
operating controls for the display of weather radar information on the MFD-85A Multifunction Display and
the EFD-85/86( ) Electronic Flight Display. The WXP-85C and -85D are identical in appearance to earlier
WXP-85A and -85B versions, but are different in function. The WXP-85C and -85D both provide a 5-color
(black, green, yellow, red, magenta) display with PAC Alert (Path Attenuation Correction). The purpose of
the PAC Alert feature is to alert the pilot when the radar encounters a target having rainfall rates heavy
enough to attenuate the beam so much that targets behind it may be hidden. With the PAC Alert feature, a
yellow band will occasionally appear at the outer perimeter of the range being displayed. Whenever this
band appears, that portion of the radar’s scan may be missing certain distant targets that are masked by
intervening areas of rainfall.
The following paragraphs describe the WXP-85C and -85D. If a WXP-85A or -85B is installed, there will be
no fifth color (magenta) or PAC Alert feature. Refer to Figure 3-5.
The MODE control is a rotary switch that is used to select the various operating modes of the weather radar
system. These modes are as follows:
OFF — Removes power from the weather radar receiver/transmitter. (The MFD has a separate PWR switch
that must be on in order for the MFD to operate.)
STBY — Power is applied to the radar system and a 60-second warmup period is initiated for the WXT-250B
receiver/transmitter. The weather display, radar transmitter, and radar antenna scan drive circuits are
inhibited during the 60-second warmup period and whenever STBY is selected. Approximately 20 seconds
after turning the MFD PWR switch on, one cyan range mark, a white airplane symbol, a white compass
sector, the yellow target alert (if target alert is enabled), and the word STBY should all appear on the MFD
(adjust INT control on the MFD as required). STBY will also appear at the left end of the range mark on the
EHSI if weather radar is selected.
TEST — Initiates the radar self-test function. After system warmup time (approximately 60 seconds) has
elapsed, the radar self-test display should appear. For a normal-size test pattern, the 25-nmi RANGE should
be selected. Selecting other ranges will increase or decrease the test pattern size, resulting in an incomplete
test pattern. TEST will be displayed in the upper left of the MFD and at the left end of the range mark on
the EHSI if weather radar is selected.
WX — The radar antenna begins to scan and after the 60-second warmup period has elapsed, the radar
transmitter is energized. This position also selects the weather detection mode and enables the automatic
cyclic contour circuits. Contouring storm cells alternate between red and black at a one-cycle-per-second
rate. Detectable weather will appear as one of five colors: black, green, yellow, red, and magenta (least
reflective to most reflective). The radar’s STC (sensitivity time control) circuit allows distant targets to
appear with the same relative brightness or intensity as close-in targets.
When using a WXP-85C or -85D with WX mode selected, the PAC Alert (Path Attenuation Correction)
feature is automatically enabled. The purpose of PAC Alert is to alert the pilot when the radar encounters a
target having rainfall rates heavy enough to attenuate the beam so much that targets behind it may not be
displayed. With the PAC Alert feature, a yellow band will occasionally appear at the outer perimeter of the
range being displayed. Whenever this band appears, that portion of the radar’s scan may be missing certain
distant targets that are masked by intervening areas of rainfall.
NORM — Same as WX mode except automatic cyclic contour circuits are disabled. The most reflective
targets will appear in magenta, and indicate rainfall rates of two inches per hour or more. The next most
reflective targets will appear in solid red (will not alternate between red and black). NORM is displayed in
the upper left of the MFD and at the left end of the range mark on the EHSI if weather radar is selected.
MAP — Selecting MAP mode also disables the automatic cyclic contour circuits. MAP and range
annunciators will be displayed in cyan. Ground targets will appear in cyan, yellow, and magenta (least
reflective to most reflective).
The GAIN-MAX/MIN control is a 5-position switch that controls the gain of the radar receiver. The highest
gain occurs in MAX position, with each of the other four positions reducing receiver sensitivity by 6 dB for a
total reduction of 24 dB in the MIN position. The GAIN-MAX/MIN control can be used with the WX, NORM,
and MAP modes. The ability of a target to be displayed is dependent on the particular GAIN setting used.
All detectable targets will be shown in one of four distinct colors: green, yellow, red, magenta (least reflective
to most reflective) for WX and NORM; or cyan, yellow, magenta (least to most reflective) for MAP plus the
black indicator screen. If any GAIN position except MAX is selected, the mode annunciator (upper left corner
of MFD and left end of range mark on EHSI if weather radar is selected) will alternate between GAIN and
the selected mode at a 1-Hz rate (that is, GAIN-MAP-GAIN-MAP, etc). The alternating words serve to
remind the user that the system is operating in a reduced gain condition and some targets may not be
displayed.
The radar antenna is fully stabilized in both the pitch and roll axis. The TILT control manually adjusts the
pitch axis of the stabilized radar antenna from approximately +15 to –15 degrees to allow the best target
presentation. (When stabilization (STB) is on, the TILT control continues to function.)
The RANGE control is a rotary switch that is used to select the maximum display range of the weather
radar system. All of the selected ranges provide one range mark in the center of the display with half-scale
range annunciation at the right hand end of the range mark. The selectable ranges and range mark
annunciations are as follows:
10 5
25 12.5
50 25
100 50
200 100
300 150
The target alert feature notifies the user when a return signal of contour strength is detected within 60 to
160 nmi and ±15 degrees of dead ahead, regardless of RANGE selected. The TGT pushbutton is a latching
push-on/push-off switch. If RDR has been selected on the MFD with target alert enabled on the WXP and not
in OFF, STBY, or MAP mode, a yellow box with the yellow letter T inscribed will appear nonflashing to the
right of the lubber line on both the EHSI and the MFD. The T annunciation will flash when a target is
detected. The target alert function is automatically enabled on the MFD (but not the EHSI’s) for all other
MFD formats (NAV, RMT, PGE, and EMG) regardless of the position of the WXP TGT pushbutton. If the
TGT switch is on and MAP mode is selected, the target alert circuits are disabled (T will not be displayed)
but will again become functional when WX or NORM mode is reselected on the WXP.
Pressing the nonlatching momentary action HLD button allows the weather display on the MFD and EHSI
(if weather radar is selected) to be frozen until the button is pressed again, or until power is removed from
the system. Target updating will not occur when operating in the HOLD mode. The weather radar mode
annunciator (upper left corner of MFD and left end of range mark on EHSI if weather radar is selected) will
alternate between HOLD and the selected mode at a 1-Hz rate (HOLD-WX-HOLD-WX, etc). The alternating
words serve to remind the pilot that the system is in the HOLD mode and the weather radar display is not
being updated.
Note
If the GAIN-MAX/MIN control is not at MAX gain and hold (HLD) is selected, the weather radar
mode annunciator in the upper left corner of the MFD and the left end of the EHSI range mark will
alternate between GAIN and HOLD at a 1-Hz rate with no operating mode displayed.
The latching push on/push off STB switch enables or disables the radar antenna pitch and roll stabilization
circuits. The switch is normally pushed in to the on position. The switch is out to the off position in case of
gyro input signal failure to the radar antenna.
The EFD is a high-resolution, multicolor crt display unit that contains the crt, deflection yoke, video and
deflection amplifiers, and a high-voltage power supply. Both stroke writing and raster scanning techniques
are used to provide large area color background and sharp alphanumerics and symbols with greater than
normal illumination. An EFD may be used as either an electronic attitude director indicator (EADI) or an
electronic horizontal situation indicator (EHSI). An inclinometer may be mounted to either EFD. With the
addition of the inclinometer, that EFD normally becomes the EADI. Refer to Figure 3-6 through Figure 3-15.
The EADI has one basic mode of operation which provides attitude, FCS mode annunciation, vertical
deviation, autopilot engage status, attitude comparator warnings, and decision height set. Several additional
parameters are available as a function of pilot selection or operational mode of the airplane, and include the
following:
In addition, interconnect wiring straps allow several EADI format changes to be made. These are:
Pitch and roll attitude are indicated by the position of the blue sky and brown ground area containing the
pitch scale with reference to the airplane symbol. The airplane symbol is either a yellow triangular-shaped
outline with a black interior (V-bar option) or a figure consisting of a square nose flanked by L-shaped wings
(crosspointer option). See Figure 3-6. Precise pitch attitude is indicated by the position of the pitch scale with
reference to the nose of the airplane symbol, and precise roll attitude is indicated by the position of the
moving roll pointer with reference to the bank scale.
In the extreme pitch attitudes, a portion of the blue (sky) or brown (ground) area is retained in view to aid in
interpretation of pitch attitude. The pitch markings will continue to move to provide accurate pitch
information. If the pitch attitude exceeds +30 or –20 degrees, or if the bank attitude exceeds ±65 degrees, all
information except attitude, attitude sensor annunciation, and the indicated airspeed display is removed
from the EADI. As pitch-up attitude increases, a red downward pointing wedge appears between the +50-
and +65-degree pitch markings. A larger red downward pointing wedge appears between the +65- and +90-
degree pitch markings. MPU-85H/86H and DPU-85H/86H service bulletin 33 changes the attitude pitch
tape. A red downward pointing wedge appears between the +40- and +60-degree pitch markings and a larger
red downward pointing wedge appears between the +60- and +90-degree pitch markings. These red
downward pointing wedges indicate pitch down is required to correct for the excessive pitch-up attitude. As
pitch-down attitude increases, a red upward pointing wedge appears between the –40- and –55-degree pitch
markings. Another red upward pointing wedge (slightly larger than the first one) appears between the –55-
and –70- degree pitch markings, and a larger red upward pointing wedge appears between the –70- and –90-
degree pitch markings. MPU-85H/86H and DPU-85H/86H service bulletin 33 changes the attitude pitch
tape. A red upward pointing wedge appears between the –30- and –45-degree pitch markings. Another red
upward pointing wedge (slightly larger than the first one) appears between the –45- and –60-degree pitch
markings, and larger red upward pointing wedge appears between the –60- and –90-degree pitch markings.
These red upward pointing wedges indicate pitch up is required to correct for the excessive pitch-down
attitude. If the airplane passes through the vertical, the display will switch 180 degrees in the roll axis and
continue to provide the correct ground-sky attitude reference during the inverted portion of the maneuver.
Should the attitude source fail, the attitude display and command bars (if in view) will disappear and a red
box with the letters ATT inscribed will appear above the airplane symbol. ATT will flash for 10 seconds, then
become steady. This flag will remain until an alternate source is supplied or until the fault is cleared.
Attitude sensor annunciation is displayed at all times in the lower right portion (to the left of the bottom dot
on the vertical deviation scale) of the EADI. ATT1 is displayed for any attitude source, either gyro or AHS
(attitude/ heading system) associated with the left input ports of the system. ATT2 is displayed for any
attitude source, either gyro or AHS associated with the right input ports of the system. On-side attitude
sensor annunciation is displayed in white and cross-side annunciation is displayed in yellow.
The magenta command bars will be in view when the flight director is being used and are removed when the
flight director is turned off or flagged, or if the attitude is extreme. With a zero command input, the
integrated command bars will flank the airplane symbol. The command bars will move up or down to
command ±15 degrees of pitch. If the pitch command exceeds ±15 degrees, the command bars will remain at
the ±15 degree position until the command decreases to that value. At that time, the command bars and the
pitch scale will move in unison. The integrated command bars will also rotate with respect to the airplane
symbol to command 15 degrees of right or left bank. If the bank command exceeds 15 degrees of right or left
bank, the command bars will remain at the respective 15-degree position until the command decreases to
that value. Alternate crosspointer command bars can be obtained as a strapping option
Figure 3-6. EADI Display Formats With Integrated Commands (Top) or Crosspointer Commands (Bottom)
in the interconnect wiring. For crosspointers, the roll steering bar moves left or right to command left or
right bank and the pitch steering bar moves up or down to command pitch-up or pitch-down. The commands
are satisfied when the steering bars are centered over the airplane reference symbol. Should the flight
director system fail, the command bars will disappear and a red box with the letters FD inscribed will
appear to the left of the left tip of the airplane symbol and will flash for 10 seconds before becoming steady.
The FD flag will not appear if the flight director has been turned off unless the failure occurs when in FCS
approach mode.
A scale and pointer on the right side of the EADI indicates deviation from a selected vertical path. The scale
consists of two white dots above and below a yellow center index.
When the lateral deviation source is a LOC and LOC frequency is tuned and the system is not in a back LOC
condition, then GS deviation is displayed. If a LOC frequency is not tuned, the scale and pointer are removed
from view.
The glideslope deviation pointer is a dual green triangle for the on-side sensor and a dual yellow triangle for
the cross-side sensor. The glideslope pointer represents the center of the glideslope beam, and the center of
the glideslope scale represents airplane position relative to beam center. Each of the inner scale dots
represents a 1/4-degree displacement; each of the outer scale dots represents a 1/2-degree displacement. If a
CAT II approach is being conducted, the pointer changes to yellow and flashes when glideslope deviation
exceeds the CAT II limits. If a failure of the glideslope receiver is detected, a red box with the letters GS
inscribed will appear to the left of the scale above the center index and will flash for 10 seconds before
becoming steady. The flashing can be eliminated by pressing the master warn reset. The glideslope scale is
removed from view when in back course mode and is replaced with B/C annunciation.
Deviation from preselected altitude is displayed by a green bracket shaped pointer with an A inscribed. The
altitude pointer represents the preselected altitude, and the center of the scale represents airplane position
relative to that altitude. Each of the inner scale dots represents a 250-foot displacement; each of the outer
scale dots represents a 500-foot displacement. The scale and pointer are removed from view when the
altitude deviation is greater than 1000 feet above or below the preselected altitude. If a failure of the air
data system is detected, the altitude scale and pointer are removed from view and a red box with the letters
ALT inscribed will appear to the left of the scale above the center index and will flash for 10 seconds before
becoming steady. The flashing can be eliminated by pressing the master warn reset. When an altitude alert
input is received from the air data system, the letters ALT, in yellow, will appear to the left of the scale
above the center index.
A scale and pointer in the bottom center of the EADI indicates deviation from a selected lateral navigation
path. The scale consists of two white dots on either side of a white center index. If a sensor failure is detected
by loss of the valid or by an internal monitor, the appropriate red letters (LOC, VOR, LRN, LNV, VLF, or
INS) appear above the scale, flash for 10 seconds and then become steady. The flashing can be eliminated by
pressing the master warn reset. The VOR/TCN/RNV pointer is removed if the internal VOR/TCN/RNV
bearing synchro monitor detects a fault. The LNV/VLF/INS/LRN pointer is removed if the internal
LNV/VLF/INS/LRN bearing or track synchro monitors detect a fault. The pointers are not removed if the
valid signal from the sensor is lost.
When displaying VOR/TCN deviation, the pointer is a green octagonal shaped symbol with two vertical
center lines for the on-side sensor and a yellow symbol for the cross-side sensor. When displaying RNV
deviation, the pointer is a star-shaped symbol for the on-side sensor and a yellow symbol for the cross-side
sensor. The symbols move laterally left or right and have the same scale factor as the course deviation scale
on the EHSI.
The LRN/VLF/INS/LNV deviation pointer is a white star-shaped symbol for the on-side sensor and a yellow
symbol for the cross-side sensor. The symbol moves laterally left or right and has the same scale factor as
the course deviation scale on the EHSI.
Radio altitude is displayed in the upper right corner in green digits. The radio altitude display appears
automatically when the radio altitude system is within range (2500 feet with the ALT-55 Radio Altimeter
System or 2000 feet with the ALT-50 Radio Altimeter System) and will change in 50-foot increments above
1000 feet, and 10-foot increments below 1000 feet. If a failure of the radio altimeter system is detected, the
radio altitude display will disappear and a red box with the letters RA inscribed will appear flashing for 10
seconds before becoming steady. The flashing can be eliminated by pressing the master warn reset. DH set
and the DH annunciator are also removed.
Decision height is displayed in the lower right corner of the display with the letters DH above the digits.
This indication is cyan in color if set from the on-side DSP (or DCP) or yellow if from the cross-side DSP (or
DCP). The decision height digits will flash when the airplane is between decision height +50 feet and
decision height. The decision height display is removed if the radio altimeter system fails.
When decision height is reached during descent, the letters DH will appear in the upper left center portion
of the display (adjacent to the pitch scale in the blue sky portion of the display) in yellow, will flash for 5
seconds, and then become steady. The DH annunciator will extinguish when radio altitude is 5 feet or less.
The decision height annunciator is removed if the radio altimeter system fails. The DH annunciator may be
removed by setting DH SET to 0.
When the TST button on the DSP (or RA TST on the DCP) is pressed, the system supplies a test initiate to
the radio altimeter. Radio altitude test causes the radio altimeter to output a fixed value. If the decision
height happens to be set higher than this value, the DH annunciator is also displayed during the test.
IAS as transmitted by a digital air data system is shown digitally at the left center of the EADI in green
digits surrounded by a green T-shaped box on a black background. Approximately 2/3 of the next higher and
lower unit’s digits are displayed and the unit’s digits appear to roll smoothly through the box. The tens and
hundreds digits also appear to roll smoothly through the box. At airspeeds below 30 knots, the readout is
replaced by three green dashes.
If at the present acceleration, Vmo would be exceeded in 10 seconds or less, the IAS readout changes to
yellow and the box changes to yellow and flashes. If Vmo +2 knots is exceeded, the IAS readout changes to
yellow and the box changes to red and flashes at twice the previous rate. A cross-side data failure inhibits
the warning prior to Vmo but the greater than Vmo +2 knots warning is still active.
If a failure of the digital air data system is detected, the IAS readout will disappear and a red box with the
red letters SPD inscribed will appear flashing for 10 seconds before becoming steady. The flashing can be
eliminated by pressing the master warn reset.
Any of three sensors may be selected as the input for speed deviation. The selection is via interconnect
wiring options and is made at the time of installation. The three sensors are: digital air data system; angle of
attack; or analog air data system.
The speed deviation scale is located adjacent to and right of the IAS readout and consists of a yellow center
reference mark with white letters F and S located above and below the center reference, and two
intermediate dots located between the letters and the center reference. The speed deviation pointer is green
and consists of two concentric squares which move in relation to the scale so that if the pointer is next to the
upper dot, actual airspeed is 10 knots higher than desired.
With a digital air data system, the EFIS-85B compares actual IAS with the reference airspeed being
received from the air data system, and positions the pointer accordingly. With either the AOA or analog air
data input, the EFIS-85B positions the pointer with reference to the analog voltage received from the
respective system.
If the speed deviation is from a digital air data system, the reference airspeed is displayed in cyan digits
below the letter S on the speed scale. If the speed deviation is AOA based, the letters AOA in cyan appear
below the speed scale. If the speed deviation is analog air data based, the letters SPD in cyan appear below
the speed scale.
If the speed deviation is digital airspeed referenced and a failure of the digital air data system is detected,
the speed deviation scale, pointer, and the reference airspeed digits are removed from view and a red box
with the letters SPD inscribed will appear below the scale and flash for 10 seconds before becoming steady.
The flashing can be eliminated by pressing the master warn reset.
If an AOA failure is detected when displaying AOA based speed deviation, the speed deviation pointer and
scale are removed from view and a red box with the letters AOA inscribed will appear below the scale and
flash for 10 seconds before becoming steady. The flashing can be eliminated by pressing the master warn reset.
If the speed deviation is analog airspeed referenced and a failure of the analog air data system is detected,
the speed deviation pointer and scale will disappear and a red box with the letters SPD inscribed will appear
at the left center of the EADI flashing for 10 seconds before becoming steady. The flashing can be eliminated
by pressing the master warn reset.
The following paragraphs show the flight control mode annunciations for the Collins FCS-85/86, the Collins
FCS-80, and the Collins FCS-65 Flight Control Systems. The annunciation locations on the EADI are the
same for each flight control system, with the vertical modes located on the first two lines to the left of the
lubber line and the lateral modes located on the top line to the right of the lubber line. The active vertical
and lateral modes are shown in green and the armed modes and submodes in white. The vertical mode
commanded reference data are shown in green and the advisory reference data are shown in white when
available. Refer to Figure 3-7 through Figure 3-12.
The Collins FCS-85/86 is the only system which has the capability of three vertical arm modes of ALTS,
VNAV, and GS. The FCS-85/86 has dependent glideslope glide path capture (ie, the system must capture the
localizer azimuth before arming the glideslope glide path). Therefore, for the FCS-85/86, the GS arm mode
will be displayed in white (to the left) on line 2.
When a new active mode is displayed, either by being selected or automatic capture, it will flash for 5
seconds before becoming steady.
The autopilot and yaw damper annunciation is displayed on lines 3 (autopilot) and 4 (yaw damper) in the
upper left corner of the EADI. The autopilot and yaw damper engaged annunciation is AP and YD for a
single flight control system, and AP/L or AP/R and YD for a dual flight control system. The engage
annunciators are green.
If a disengagement occurs for the FCS-85/86 (for both the autopilot and yaw damper), the engage messages
turn red and flash until acknowledged by the crew (acknowledge logic is in the FCS). When the acknowledge
occurs, the message disappears for a single flight control system or turns white and becomes steady for a
dual flight control system.
If a disengagement occurs for the FCS-80 (for both the autopilot and yaw damper), the autopilot engage
message turns red and flashes until acknowledged by the crew (acknowledge logic is in the FCS). The yaw
damper engage message turns yellow and flashes for 5 seconds then is removed from the display. When the
acknowledge occurs, the autopilot message disappears for a single flight control system or turns white and
becomes steady for a dual flight control system.
If a disengagement occurs for the FCS-65 (for both the autopilot and yaw damper), the engage messages
flash between green and yellow and disappear when the FCS-65 system times out.
The same operation occurs if the autopilot is independent of the yaw damper.
Trim annunciation is displayed on line 3 in the upper right corner of the EADI.
For the FCS-85/86, the trim annunciation is a boxed message in yellow which indicates the axis that is
mistrimmed (A = aileron, E = elevator, and R = rudder). The annunciation will flash for 5 seconds each time
a mistrim occurs and is removed from view immediately when the input is removed. The following
annunciations can appear:
- E -
A - -
- - R
A E R (boxed)
A - R
A E -
- E R
SYNC
(blank)
For the FCS-80 system, TRIM is displayed in yellow which can indicate either an elevator or aileron
mistrimmed condition (determined during installation). As an option, both the elevator and aileron mistrim
annunciator outputs from the FCS-80 can be wired together to give the TRIM annunciation whenever the
elevator or the aileron is mistrimmed. Refer to the Airplane Flight Manual Supplement for further
information. The annunciator will flash for 5 seconds each time it turns on and is removed immediately
when the input is removed.
For the FCS-65 system, TRIM is not displayed. SYNC is displayed when the pilot actuates the SYNC button.
Marker beacon passage is indicated by a cyan or yellow box with OM (cyan) or MM (yellow) inscribed
appearing on the inside of the roll scale on the right side (opposite the DH annunciator). Airway or inner
marker will appear as a white box with no inscriptions. These will flash as long as active.
3.7.15 Inclinometer
The inclinometer or slip indicator consists of a weighted ball in a liquid-filled curved tube. It is attached to
the lower front of the unit, lighted, and is used as an aid to coordinate turns.
The EFIS-85B provides two Category II outputs that are used to aid the pilot in determining if Category II
approach monitoring requirements are met. These outputs are referred to as the green output and the amber
output, with each output driving the appropriately colored external annunciator. A green Category II
annunciator indicates that all of the conditions listed below have been satisfied. (It is the pilot’s
responsibility to determine if the approach is to be made.) An amber Category II annunciator indicates that
one or more of the conditions listed below have not been satisfied, and the approach should not be continued
to Category II limits.
All of the following conditions must be satisfied before a green Category II annunciator output can be
obtained:
• Cross-side data valid for both sides
• Localizer tuned and valid for 15 seconds on both sides
• Glideslope valid for 15 seconds on both sides
• Back course not detected for either side
• Radio altimeter valid and on scale for both sides
• Attitude valid for both sides
• Heading valid for both sides
• Alternate attitude source not selected on either side
• Alternate heading source not selected on either side
• Analog VNAV not enabled on either side
• VOR/LOC selected as DSP (or DCP) primary course on both sides
• DSP (or DCP) valid and not alternate DSP (or DCP) selected for either side
• Enroute format not selected on either DSP (or DCP)
• Command bars in view on either EADI
• True heading not selected on either side
• Dual drive transfer not selected
• Go around not selected on either side
If the above conditions are satisfied and radio altitude is less than 600 feet, the green annunciator will
illuminate. If a problem occurs after the green annunciator is illuminated, the green annunciator turns off
and the amber annunciator illuminates. This should indicate to the pilot that the approach should not be
continued to Category II limits. If 400 feet radio altitude is reached and the green annunciator has not yet
illuminated, it will not do so at a lower altitude. This should also indicate that the approach should not be
continued to Category II limits.
The EHSI can display three formats that are selected by the DSP-85A Display Select Panel or the DCP-85E
Display Control Panel. These are:
The ROSE format is selected by positioning the DSP FORMAT switch to ROSE mode. The HSI format is
selected by positioning the DCP HSI-ARC-MAP switch to HSI. Refer to Figure 3-13.
The compass display is a full 360-degree rose with letters at the cardinal points and numbers at the 30-
degree marks. Airplane heading is read against the lubber line. Markings are also provided every 45 degrees
around the periphery of the card to aid in procedure turns. The compass card, reference marks, lubber line,
and reference airplane symbol are white. If true heading is being used, TRUE is annunciated in white above
the lubber line. The heading source is annunciated by displaying HDG1 in white for the on-side source or
HDG2 in yellow for the cross-side source. This annunciation will appear in the lower right corner of the
display. An external installer supplied switch may be used to place the compass system in directional gyro
mode which is annunciated by placing the letters DG over the lubber line. If a failure of the compass system
occurs, a red box with HDG inscribed will appear above the compass card, replacing the lubber line (and the
TRUE annunciator if present). The letters will flash for 10 seconds, then become steady. The flashing can be
eliminated by pressing the master warn reset. If the heading synchro monitor detects a failure, the HDG flag
appears and the compass card is frozen in position.
EFIS-85B(3)/86B(3): The data shown by the primary (solid) selected course arrow is the information that is
being supplied to the flight control system. Primary selected course is shown by the relationship of the solid
single bar course arrow with respect to the compass card and is repeated digitally in the lower right of the
display with the letters CRS superscribed. The course is selected with the CRS knob on the DSP when in
VOR, LOC, RNV, TCN, or MLS mode, or is automatically set by an appropriate LNAV (lateral navigation
system) such as LNV, INS, VLF, or RNV.
EFIS-85B(13)/86B(13): The data shown by the active (solid) selected course arrow is the information that is
being supplied to the flight control system. Active selected course is shown by the relationship of the solid
single bar course arrow with respect to the compass card and is repeated digitally in the lower right of the
display with the letters CRS superscribed. After selecting the active course navigation sensor using the CRS
ACT button and the SEL/RNG knob on the DCP, the actual course is selected by first pressing the CRS CTL
button on the CHP until the knob-shaped course control annunciator symbol is adjacent to the active
navigation sensor annunciator at the left center of the display. This indicates that the active selected course
arrow is being controlled by the CHP-85D’s on-side CRS knob or by the on-side CHP-86B’s CRS knob. The
course is then selected with the applicable CRS knob on the CHP when in VOR or LOC mode, or is
automatically set by an appropriate LNAV (lateral navigation system) such as LNV, INS, VLF, or RNV.
The selected navigation sensor is annunciated at the left center of the display. If the navigation sensor is
incompatible with the type of heading (true or magnetic), the sensor annunciation flashes until a compatible
selection is made. If a localizer frequency has been tuned, VOR/LOC has been selected, and the selected
course is more than 105 degrees from the lubber line, the LIN/ANG legend to the right of the lubber line
automatically changes to B/C (back course).
The center portion of the course arrow is the lateral deviation bar and moves laterally with respect to the
course arrow and the white deviation dots to indicate deviation from the selected course. If CAT II
configured and localizer deviation is excessive, the lateral deviation bar changes to yellow and flashes. The
lateral deviation bar is removed if a synchro input failure is detected.
When flying VOR with linear deviation, the letters LIN will appear to the right of the lubber line. EFIS
always linearizes deviation whenever DME is present and not in DME hold, unless an external switch is
actuated to defeat linearization and display angular deviation. Unlike previous systems, EFIS linearizes
deviation out to the usable reception range of the VOR. With linear deviation, a full-scale deflection of the
lateral deviation bar (2 dots) is equivalent to 10 miles offset from the selected course when in VOR mode, or
2 miles offset from the selected course when conducting a VOR approach in APPR mode.
Note
When flying linear deviation, the pilot should maintain a centered lateral deviation bar at all times.
This is especially true when close to station passage because deviation sensitivity is reduced as
compared to angular deviation. VOR approaches using linear deviation should only be flown if the
pilot understands linear deviation sensitivity.
Caution
When conducting a VOR approach, APPR mode should be selected only within normal approach
distances and not until after VOR capture occurs. During a VOR approach, the pilot is cautioned to
remember that the flight control system automatically goes to dead reckoning (DR) mode when a
VOR station is crossed, and DR is not a recommended approach mode. If the VOR approach being
flown is one that crosses the VOR on the way to the airport, then HDG mode should be selected at
station passage rather than continuing with NAV or APPR mode (ensure that the heading cursor on
the EHSI is under the lubber line before selecting HDG mode). The reason for this is if the distance
between the VOR and the airport is short, the system may not have time to come out of DR mode
after passing the station.
Note
If using LIN deviation during a VOR approach when the VOR/DME is located on the airport, there is
the possibility of the deviation being inhibited when close in to the station, and it is possible with a
crosswind, to miss the airport by as much as one mile. Therefore, when the VOR/DME is located on
the airport, the VOR approach must be made using ANG deviation rather that LIN deviation (note
that with EFIS, deviation is always linearized as long as DME is present and not in DME hold). In
most installations, there should be a separate installer supplied switch as described above that will
enable the pilot to select between LIN and ANG deviation.
Linear deviation is inhibited if a localizer frequency is tuned in either VOR or APPR mode. The primary
function of linear deviation is to optimize computation while tracking a VOR course, especially close in to the
station. Linear deviation also allows the pilot to fly an offset parallel to the selected course (up to 10 miles
either side when in VOR mode). Note that if the autopilot is engaged when flying parallel to the selected
course, HDG mode (preferred) or manual autopilot mode (no lateral mode selected) must be used. If the
autopilot is engaged with VOR mode selected, the autopilot will return the airplane to the actual VOR
course.
When VOR is selected as the active source and the deviation changes from LIN to ANG (such as would occur
if the DME is lost or DME hold is selected), the ANG annunciator will flash for 10 seconds before becoming
steady. The flashing can be eliminated by pressing the master warn reset.
The to-from indication is a triangle that appears on the head side of the lateral deviation bar pointing
toward the head of the course arrow to indicate to and toward the tail of the course arrow to indicate from.
This to-from display indicates that the selected VOR course is either to or from the selected VOR station.
The to-from display can also indicate the course to the next waypoint or the course from an overflown
waypoint when an LNAV such as an INS, LRN, VLF, or other navigation system is the navigation data
source. If a compatible LNAV is installed and LNAV is selected, the to arrow flashes to indicate waypoint
alert. The to-from display disappears when a localizer frequency is selected or if a failure is detected by the
VOR bearing, LNAV bearing, or LNAV track synchro monitors.
If the navigation sensor is an on-side VOR/LOC, the course arrow, deviation bar, to/from indicator (in VOR),
digital course readout, navigation sensor annunciator, distance display, data display, and LIN/ANG
annunciation are green. If the navigation sensor is an LNAV and is selected from the on-side DSP (or DCP),
these displays are white. If control has been transferred to the cross-side, these displays are yellow for all
navigation sensors.
If a selected navigation sensor valid is lost, the navigation sensor annunciation turns red, becomes boxed,
and flashes for 10 seconds before becoming steady. The flashing can be eliminated by pressing the master
warn reset. If one of the LNAV’s is the failed sensor, the to-from display also disappears.
If a failure is detected by the VOR bearing, LNAV bearing, or LNAV track synchro or the bus parameter
monitors, the corresponding flag appears and the deviation bar and the to-from arrow are removed from the
display. The annunciator will flash the heading and nav sensor are incompatible.
When the preset second course arrow has been selected for display, it will appear in cyan as a double dashed
line course arrow with a solid arrowhead. The double dashed center portion of the course arrow is the lateral
deviation bar. The deviation displayed is always angular and is never linearized. Also, no deviation scale or
to/from indicator is provided for the preset second course arrow. The navigation sensor for the preset second
course is also annunciated in cyan and appears below the navigation sensor annunciation for the active
selected course arrow.
EFIS-85B(3)/86B(3): The navigation sensor for the second course arrow is selected by sequentially pressing
the 2ND CRS button on the DSP. At power on, no second course is displayed. The first press of the 2ND CRS
button annunciates LNV1 and the selected sensor is LNAV 1. The second press of the 2ND CRS button
annunciates LNV2 and the selected sensor is LNAV 2 (this selection may be inhibited as an installation
option). The third press of the 2ND CRS button annunciates VOR1, and the fourth press annunciates VOR2.
The next press of the 2ND CRS button turns the second course arrow off again. If the second course is the
on-side VOR or LOC, the on-side DSP’s selected CRS knob controls the course setting. If the second course is
the cross-side VOR or LOC, the cross-side DSP’s selected CRS knob controls the course setting. This also
applies even though the applicable DSP’s primary course selection is LNAV or OFF.
EFIS-85B(13)/86B(13): The navigation sensor for the preset second course arrow is selected using the CRS
PRE button and the SEL/RNG knob on the DCP. After selecting the preset second course navigation sensor,
the actual course is selected by first pressing the CRS CTL button on the CHP until the knob-shaped course
control annunciator symbol is adjacent to the preset second course navigation sensor annunciator (located
below the active course navigation sensor annunciator). This indicates that the preset second course arrow is
being controlled by the CHP-85D’s or the CHP-86B’s CRS knob. The course is then selected with the
applicable CRS knob on the CHP when in VOR, LOC, or RNV mode, or is automatically set by an
appropriate LNAV such as LNV, INS, VLF, or RNV.
When the preset second course is a VOR and its associated DME is in hold, the navigation source
annunciator displays VOR1 H or VOR2 H with VOR1 or VOR2 in cyan and the H in yellow with the H
located to the right of the numeral in the sensor annunciation. If a failure of the DME associated with the
displayed VOR occurs, the navigation sensor annunciator remains cyan followed by a D in red with the D
located to the right of the numeral in the sensor annunciation (ie, VOR1 D). If a localizer frequency has been
tuned, the sensor annunciator displays LOC1 or LOC2.
If the second course navigation sensor is incompatible with the heading sensor (true or magnetic), the
navigation sensor annunciator flashes until a compatible selection is made.
EFIS-85B(13)/86B(13): The data being displayed on the preset second course arrow may be automatically
selected as the active selected course by pressing the CRS XFR button on the DCP. When the CRS XFR
button is pressed, the current active course arrow and its identifier are removed from the EHSI display, the
preset course arrow becomes a single solid line, the color changes to the active color, and the navigation
sensor annunciator is moved to the upper (active) location. The previous active selected course sensor now
becomes the preset second course and is removed from the display. It may be recalled as the dual dashed
cyan preset second course by pressing the CRS PRE button twice.
Note
EFIS-85B(13)/86B(13): Depending on the airplane installation, if the FCS is not in HDG mode and
the source for the active course arrow is changed or if the CRS XFR function is selected on the DCP,
the FCS will automatically clear to heading hold mode and the NAV mode must be reengaged if
desired.
If a navigation sensor failure is detected while it is selected for second course, the second course navigation
sensor annunciator becomes red and boxed and flashes for 10 seconds before becoming steady. The second
course arrow deviation bar is removed from view if the failure was from the internal VOR synchro monitor
or from the LNAV bus parameter monitor. The flashing can be eliminated by pressing the master warn
reset.
Selected heading is shown by the location of two adjacent magenta rectangles with respect to the compass
card. The DSP (or DCP) HDG knob is used to set the heading cursor or it can be made to rotate to the lubber
line position by momentarily pressing the PUSH HDG SYNC button on the HDG knob. The heading sync
function can also be remotely actuated by various mode logic from some digital autopilots.
When selected on the DSP (or with the BRG button and the SEL/RNG knob on the DCP), a magenta bearing
pointer is displayed on the EHSI along with the sensor annunciation. The sensor annunciation is in the
lower left with the letters BRG, in magenta, above the sensor type. If the sensor is an on-side VOR or ADF,
the sensor annunciation is green. If the sensor is an on-side LNAV, the sensor annunciation is white. All
cross-side sensors are annunciated in yellow. The head of the bearing pointer is also shape-coded, depending
on the sensor that is connected to the pointer. If the sensor is VOR, the pointer is octagon-shaped. If the
sensor is an area navigation system or a long-range navigation system, the pointer is star-shaped. When
ADF is the sensor, the pointer is cross-shaped. The bearing pointer tail is a line with a V superimposed
pointing to the station. The VOR bearing pointer is removed if a localizer frequency is tuned.
If ADF has been selected with true heading being displayed, the bearing annunciation will flash for 10
seconds before becoming steady. The flashing can be eliminated by pressing the master warn reset. If VOR
or LNAV has been selected with an incompatible heading sensor, the bearing sensor annunciator flashes
until a compatible selection has been made.
In the event of a sensor failure, the bearing pointer will be removed from view and the sensor annunciation
will become red, boxed and flash for 10 seconds before becoming steady. The flashing can be eliminated by
pressing the master warn reset. If VOR has been selected and a localizer frequency is tuned, the bearing
pointer and the pointer annunciation is removed but the letters BRG remain in view.
If an ADF lock signal is not received, the ADF pointer is removed and the ADF flag will appear.
A scale and pointer on the right side of the EHSI indicates deviation from a selected vertical path. The scale
consists of two white dots above and below a center index.
If an on-side localizer frequency is tuned and VNAV is not selected and enabled (if a VNAV system is
installed in the airplane), then glideslope deviation is displayed. When VNAV is selected on the DSP and
enabled, deviation from a selected vertical navigation path is displayed. During an ILS or MLS approach,
the VNAV display automatically switches to display GS or MGP deviation at GS or MGP capture (capture
logic is from the flight control system). If in back course mode, B/C will be displayed to the right of the lubber
line. B/C will also be displayed in place of the glideslope scale if in back course and not displaying VNAV.
(Back course mode is automatically sensed within EFIS by comparing present airplane heading with the
localizer front course set by the primary course arrow on the EHSI. Back course mode occurs when a
localizer frequency is tuned, and the difference between airplane heading and the primary course arrow
exceeds approximately 105 degrees.)
a. Glideslope Deviation
The glideslope deviation pointer is a dual green triangle for the on-side sensor and a dual yellow triangle
for the cross-side sensor. The glideslope pointer represents the center of the glideslope beam, and the
center of the glideslope scale represents airplane position relative to beam center. Each of the inner scale
dots represents a 1/4-degree displacement; each of the outer scale dots represents a 1/2-degree
displacement. If a CAT II approach is being conducted, the pointer changes to yellow and flashes when
glideslope deviation exceeds the CAT II limits. If a failure of the glideslope receiver is detected, a red box
with the letters GS inscribed will appear in the center of the scale and will flash for 10 seconds before
becoming steady. The flashing can be eliminated by pressing the master warn reset.
b. Vertical Navigation Deviation
Deviation from a selected vertical navigation path is displayed by a white star-shaped pointer for the on-
side sensor or a yellow star-shaped pointer for the cross-side sensor. The VNAV pointer represents the
center of the vertical navigation path, and the center of the scale represents airplane position relative to
the path. Each of the inner scale dots represents a 200-foot displacement; each of the outer scale dots
represents a 400-foot displacement. If a failure of the vertical navigation system is detected, the scale
and pointer are removed from view and a red box with the letters VNV inscribed is displayed. This flag
will flash for 10 seconds before becoming steady. The flashing can be eliminated by pressing the master
warn reset.
The distance to the VOR or waypoint selected for display on the primary course arrow is shown digitally
below the letters DIST in the upper left of the EHSI. The distance display will be the same color as the
primary course display. Resolution is to 0.1 nmi below 100 nmi and 1 nmi above 100 nmi. When DME hold
has been selected, the letter H, in yellow, appears to the right of the digits. If a DME failure is detected
when VOR is selected or an LNAV sensor failure is detected when LNAV is selected, the digits are replaced
with red dashes which flash for 10 seconds and then become steady. The flashing can be eliminated by
pressing the master warn reset. No computed data is shown as dashes in the same color as the DIST legend.
Elapsed time, ground speed, or time-to-go is displayed in the upper right below the letters ET, GSP, or TTG
as applicable. Wind speed and direction, if available as an input, can also be displayed. The data displayed is
selected by sequentially pressing the NAV DTA button on the DSP (or CHP). The last one selected is stored
in nonvolatile memory and will reappear on power up.
Ground speed and time-to-go are derived from the same sensor driving the primary course display and will
be the same color. If that source is VOR, the calculation occurs in the EFIS system. Otherwise, the data is
transmitted by the navigation system. If a DME failure is detected when VOR is selected or an LNAV sensor
failure is detected when LNAV is selected, the digits are replaced by red dashes which flash for 10 seconds
before becoming steady. The flashing can be eliminated by pressing the master warn reset. No computed
data is shown as dashes in the same color as the legend.
EFIS-85B(3)/86B(3): Elapsed time is shown in minutes and seconds up to 59:59 and then in hours and
minutes up to H9:59. Above H9:59, the display is dashed. The ET display is green for the on-side DSP and
yellow for the cross-side DSP. An external installer supplied switch is used to control the reset/start/stop
cycle of the timer.
EFIS-85B(13)/86B(13): Elapsed time is shown in minutes and seconds up to 59:59 and then in hours and
minutes up to H9:59. Above H9:59, the display is dashed. The ET display is green for the on-side half of the
CHP and yellow for the cross-side CHP. The reset/start/stop cycle of the time is controlled by the ET button
on the CHP.
Wind speed, if available as an input, is displayed digitally in knots. Wind direction is shown by an arrow
depicting the direction of the wind relative to the airplane symbol. This display is white and is derived from
the on-side LNAV system, and is displayed regardless of the primary course selection. No computed data is
shown as white dashes.
The target alert feature notifies the user when a return signal of contour strength is detected within 60 to
160 nmi and ±15 degrees of present heading. Target alert is selected with the push-on/push-off TGT switch
on the WXP. A yellow box with the yellow letter T inscribed will appear nonflashing to the right of the
lubber line if target alert is enabled on the WXP and the mode selector is not in the OFF, STBY, or MAP
position. The annunciation will flash when a target is detected.
If the primary course display is derived from an LNAV, XTK and DR annunciations appear to the right of
the lubber line, and MSG appears to the left of the lubber line as received from the LNAV system. XTK is
white if from the on-side LNAV or yellow if from the cross-side LNAV. DR and MSG are yellow and MSG
flashes continuously.
Depending on selected navigation sensors and the selection of magnetic or true heading sources,
compatibility problems can occur. Table 3-1 defines the conditions which are incompatible and the
EHSI annunciations that are provided to alert the pilot of those conditions.
EFIS-85B(3)/86B(3): The approach format is selected by positioning the DSP FORMAT switch to APPR.
EFIS-85B(13)/86B(13): The ARC format is selected by positioning the DCP HSI-ARC-MAP switch to ARC.
The expanded compass sector displayed in the approach (or ARC) format is similar to the full compass card
displayed in the ROSE (or HSI) format except the EHSI displays a ±40-degree compass segment at the top of
the display and the airplane symbol is placed at the bottom center of the display. The compass sector, on-
side course arrow, heading cursor, and bearing pointer rotate with respect to the intersection of the wings
and fuselage of the airplane symbol.
All other functions of the compass display (colors, annunciation of true heading, directional gyro mode, on-
side or cross-side heading source, heading flag, and comparator warning) are the same as described for the
rose format.
Primary selected course (or active selected course) is shown by a solid single bar course arrow related to the
compass segment with a deviation bar near the airplane symbol. A deviation scale which rotates with the
course arrow is also displayed. The deviation bar and scale rotate with the selected course throughout the
full 360-degree range. The deviation bar and scale will be wholly or partially out of view for some selected
courses.
To-from is indicated by the letters TO or FR appearing in the lower right of the display near the digital
course readout. If LNAV is the selected course and the LNAV outputs a waypoint alert, the TO annunciator
flashes.
All other functions and colors of the selected course display are the same as described for the rose format.

A second course may be selected using the 2ND CRS button on the DSP as described for the ROSE format.
The selected second course is displayed in cyan and its sensor is annunciated in cyan below the primary
selected course sensor on the left side of the EHSI.
When the selected second course is a VOR, a cyan octagonal symbol is placed in proper rho-theta position
with respect to selected range and airplane heading. The station ident is displayed next to the VOR symbol
on the side nearest the vertical center line of the display.
When the second course is a VOR and its associated DME is in hold, the VOR symbol is removed from view
and the navigation sensor annunciator displays VOR1 H or VOR2 H with the VOR1 or VOR2 in cyan and
the H in yellow. If a failure of the DME associated with a displayed VOR occurs, the VOR symbol is removed
from view and the sensor annunciator remains cyan followed by a D in red (ie, VORl D).
If the second course is a VOR and a localizer frequency is tuned, no symbol is displayed and the sensor
annunciator displays LOC1 or LOC2.
When the second course is an LNAV, the to waypoint is displayed as a star-shaped cyan symbol shown in its
proper rho-theta position with respect to selected range and airplane heading. The waypoint is identified by
its waypoint number, also in cyan, with the number being next to the waypoint symbol on the side nearest
the vertical center line of the display. If the LNAV is compatible, the waypoint symbol flashes for waypoint
alert.
If the second course navigation sensor is incompatible with the heading sensor (true or magnetic), the
navigation sensor annunciator flashes until a compatible selection is made.
If a navigation sensor failure is detected while it is selected for second course, the navaid symbol (VOR or
waypoint) is removed from view and the second course navigation sensor annunciator becomes red and
boxed and flashes for 10 seconds before becoming steady. The flashing can be eliminated by pressing the
master warn reset.
Selected heading is shown by the location of two adjacent magenta rectangles with respect to the compass
sector when on scale. When selected heading is off scale, a digital readout (magenta) will appear at the
appropriate end of the compass sector closest to the selected heading value and a magenta line will appear
from the center of the airplane symbol to the edge of the display at the selected heading angle. If no primary
course is being displayed, the heading line will be displayed. If the heading cursor is on scale, the heading
line connects the cursor and the airplane symbol.
3.8.2.5 Range
When approach (or ARC) format is being displayed without weather radar information, range is selected by
the RNG knob on the DSP (or SEL/RNG knob on the DCP). Range is displayed as a dashed cyan range mark
located half way between the compass sector and the airplane symbol. Half of the full-scale range is
displayed in cyan digits at the right hand end of the range mark. Selectable full scale ranges are 5, 10, 25,
50, 100, 200, 300, and 600 nm. Half scale annunciated ranges are 2.5, 5, 12.5, 25, 50, 100, 150, and 300 nm.
Adding a weather radar display to the approach (or ARC) format is accomplished by having WX or NORM
mode selected on the WXP and then pressing the WX pushbutton on the DSP (or DCP). A second press of the
DSP WX button (or the DCP RDR button) will remove the weather radar display. When using a WXP-85C
or WXP-85D with WX or NORM mode selected, detectable weather will appear as one of five colors: black,
green, yellow, red, and magenta (least reflective to most reflective). When using a WXP-85C or -85D with
WX mode selected, the PAC Alert (Path Attenuation Correction) feature is automatically enabled. The
purpose of PAC Alert is to alert the pilot when the radar encounters a target having rainfall rates heavy
enough to attenuate the beam so much that targets behind it may not be displayed. With the PAC Alert
feature, a yellow band will occasionally appear at the outer perimeter of the range being displayed.
Whenever this band appears, that portion of the radar’s scan may be missing certain distant targets that are
masked by intervening areas of rainfall. When weather radar is selected, a solid cyan range mark will
appear at midrange on the display with the midrange distance (5, 12.5, 25, 50, 100, and 150) shown in cyan
digits at the right hand end of the range mark. Full scale range extends to the periphery of the compass
segment. The range is selected using the RANGE control on the WXP-85( ) Weather Radar Panel.
The weather radar mode (STBY, TEST, WX, NORM, MAP, GAIN, HOLD, or FAULT) as selected on the
WXP is shown in cyan at the lower left end of the cyan range mark. If any GAIN position except MAX is
selected, the mode annunciator will alternate between GAIN and the selected mode at a 1-Hz rate (that is,
GAIN-WX-GAIN-WX, etc). The alternating words serve to remind the user that the system is operating in a
reduced gain condition and some targets may not be displayed. If weather radar hold is selected, the weather
radar mode annunciator will alternate between HOLD and the selected mode at a 1-Hz rate (HOLD-WX-
HOLD-WX, etc). The alternating words serve to remind the pilot that the system is in the HOLD mode and
the weather radar display is not being updated.
If the WXP is turned off or a loss of data from the WXP is detected when weather radar information is being
displayed, the range mark and weather displays are removed from view and the range will default to 300
nm.
All functions and colors of the bearing pointer display are the same as described for the ROSE (or HSI)
format except that the pointer rotates around the relocated airplane symbol.
All functions and colors of the vertical deviation display are the same as described for the ROSE (or HSI)
format.
All functions and colors of the distance display, data display, weather annunciation, navigation
annunciation, compatibility between navigation sensors and heading sources are the same as described for
the rose format except that the GS and LOC comparator warnings are relocated.
EFIS-85B(3)/86B(3): The enroute format is selected by positioning the DSP FORMAT switch to ENR.
EFIS-85B(13)/86B(13): The MAP format is selected by positioning the DCP HSI-ARC-MAP switch to MAP.
All functions and colors of the enroute format compass display are the same as described for the approach
format.
When the primary selected course is a VOR, an octagonal VOR symbol is placed in proper rho-theta position
with respect to selected range and the airplane symbol. The station ident is displayed next to the VOR
symbol on the side nearest the vertical center line of the display. A selected course line is drawn through the
VOR symbol with its position controlled by the CRS knob on the DSP (or CHP). The course line is solid on
the to side of the symbol and dashed on the from side. If the VOR symbol is off scale with respect to selected
range and/or bearing, the course line is drawn with an arrow pointing toward the station, and the station
ident is displayed on the line. The navigation sensor is annunciated at the left center of the display. The
VOR symbol, course line, station identifier, and navigation sensor annunciation are green if from on-side or
yellow if from cross-side. If the primary selected course is RNV, the operation is the same as just described
but the symbol is star shaped.
If a localizer frequency is tuned, the VOR symbol, station identifier, and course line are removed from view.
The navigation sensor annunciator displays LOC1 or LOC2 in the same color as the VOR annunciator.
When the primary selected course is VOR and its associated DME is in hold, the VOR symbol, station
identifier, and course line are removed from view. In this condition, the navigation sensor annunciator still
displays the selected VOR and DME hold is indicated by a yellow H next to the distance readout in the
upper left corner of the display.
When the primary selected course is an LNAV, star-shaped waypoint symbols (up to three) are located in
their proper rho-theta position with respect to the selected range and airplane symbol. The waypoints are
identified by waypoint numbers next to the waypoint symbol on the side nearest the vertical center line of
the display. Waypoint symbols are connected by track lines as output by the LNAV system. An arrow is
drawn on the track line pointing at the to waypoint. If the to waypoint is off scale, an arrow is drawn on the
track line pointing at the to waypoint, and WPT # is displayed on the line. The to waypoint symbol flashes to
indicate waypoint alert. The navigation sensor annunciation is displayed at the left center of the display.
The waypoint string and navigation sensor annunciator are white if from on-side or yellow if from cross-side.
If the navigation sensor is incompatible with the type of heading (true or magnetic), the navigation sensor
annunciator flashes until a compatible selection is made.
If a navigation sensor failure is detected while it is selected for primary selected course, the navaid symbols
(VOR or waypoint) and connecting lines are removed from view and the navigation sensor annunciator
becomes red and boxed and flashes for 10 seconds before becoming steady. The flashing can be eliminated by
pressing the master warn reset.
A second course may be selected in the same manner as described for the ROSE (or HSI) format. The
selected second course is displayed in cyan and its sensor is annunciated in cyan below the primary selected
course sensor on the left side of the EHSI.
When the selected second course is a VOR, a cyan octagon symbol is placed in proper rho-theta position with
respect to selected range and station bearing. The station ident is displayed next to the VOR symbol on the
side nearest the vertical center line of the display. A selected course line is drawn through the VOR symbol
with its position controlled by the CRS knob on the associated DSP (or CHP). The course line is solid on the
to side of the symbol and dashed on the from side. If the VOR symbol is off scale with respect to selected
range and/or bearing, the course line is drawn with an arrow pointing toward the station, and the station
ident is displayed on the line. If the selected second course is an RNV, the operation is as just described but
the symbol is star shaped.
If DSP (or DCP) control is transferred and the cross-side VOR second course (relative to the in-use DSP or
DCP) is selected, the VOR symbol remains in view but no course line is drawn.
When the second course is a VOR and its associated DME is in hold, the VOR symbol and course line are
removed from view and a yellow H is placed to the right of the numeral in the VOR sensor annunciation. If a
failure of the DME associated with a displayed VOR occurs, the VOR symbol and course line are removed
from view and a red D is placed to the right of the numeral in the VOR sensor annunciation. If the second
course is a VOR and a localizer frequency is tuned, no symbol or course line is displayed and the sensor
annunciator displays LOC1 or LOC2 in cyan.
When the selected second course is an LNAV, star-shaped waypoint symbols (up to three) are located in
their proper rho-theta position with respect to the selected range and airplane symbol. The waypoints are
identified by waypoint numbers next to the waypoint symbol on the side nearest the vertical center line of
the display. Waypoint symbols are connected by track lines as output by the LNAV system. An arrow is
drawn on the track line pointing at the to waypoint. If the to waypoint is off scale, the track line is still
drawn at the proper angle with WPT # displayed on the line. The to waypoint symbol flashes to indicate
waypoint alert. The navigation sensor annunciation is displayed at the left center of the display. The
waypoint string and navigation sensor annunciator are cyan for the selected second course.
If the second course navigation sensor is incompatible with the heading sensor (true or magnetic), the
navigation sensor annunciator flashes until a compatible selection is made.
If a navigation sensor failure is detected while it is selected for selected second course, the navaid symbols
(VOR or waypoint) and connecting lines are removed from view and the second course navigation sensor
annunciator becomes red and boxed and flashes for 10 seconds before becoming steady. The flashing can be
eliminated by pressing the master warn reset.
All functions and colors of the selected heading display are the same as described for the approach (or ARC)
format.
3.8.3.5 Range
All functions and colors of the range display are the same as described for the approach (or ARC) format.
All functions and colors of the bearing display are the same as described for the approach (or ARC) format.
All functions and colors of the vertical deviation display, distance display, data display, weather
annunciation, navigation annunciation, compatibility between navigation sensors and heading sources, and
comparator warnings are the same as described for the ROSE (or HSI) format.
Comparator monitoring is performed in each DPU and MPU in the EFIS system. On-side data is read,
converted to digital form, and stored by each DPU and MPU. Each DPU sends its information to the cross-
side DPU so that each of the processors has the information required to perform the comparison function.
When the MPU is being used to drive the EADI and EHSI, it provides the comparator function in place of
the failed DPU. The failed DPU could still be outputting comparator messages unless its breaker is pulled or
the DPU/MPU outputs are externally switched.
If the MPU is driving the MFD, its only comparator function is heading which is displayed on the MFD to
the left of the lubber line when in the NAV and RDR modes. The MPU does not output any other comparator
warnings in this mode.
A master warn output is provided from each DPU and from the MPU when in drive transfer. These outputs
are used to enable external installer supplied master warning annunciators.
Momentarily actuating an installer supplied master warn reset switch stops the flashing of the EADI and
EHSI comparators and of the external installer supplied attitude, heading, and Category II comparators,
and extinguishes the master warning annunciator.
In addition to the comparator warnings displayed on the EADI and EHSI, the EFIS provides external
comparator warning outputs for attitude, heading, and Category II (the Category II comparator annunciator
illuminates when Cat II is enabled and if the two localizer or glideslope deviations or the two radio altitudes
differ by a predetermined amount) from each DPU and from the MPU when in drive transfer. These external
comparator warning outputs are used to enable external installer supplied annunciators.
Momentarily actuating an installer supplied comparator reset switch extinguishes the EADI/EHSI
comparator warning displays and the external comparator warning annunciator(s). If the condition which
caused the compare error has been removed, the EADI/EHSI comparator warning display and the external
comparator warning annunciator(s) remain off when the comparator reset switch is released. If the warn
condition is still present when the comparator reset switch is released, the EADI/EHSI comparator warning
display and the external comparator warning annunciator(s) illuminate again, but the master warn
annunciator does not.
If a pitch or roll comparator warning is detected, the letters PIT and/or ROL, boxed and in yellow, will
appear in the lower left portion of the display.
If a glideslope comparator warning is detected and CAT II is enabled, a yellow box with the letters GS
inscribed appears near the vertical deviation scale.
If a localizer comparator warning is detected and CAT II is enabled, a yellow box with the letters LOC
inscribed appears near the lateral deviation scale.
If a radio altitude comparator warning is detected and CAT II is enabled, a yellow box with the letters RA
inscribed appears next to the radio altitude readout.
These comparator messages will flash until the master warn has been reset at which time they become
steady. The messages will disappear when the external comparator reset switch is actuated, if the
comparator error is no longer present.
If a heading comparator warning message is received, the letters HDG, boxed and yellow, will appear to the
left of the lubber line.
If a glideslope comparator warning is detected and Category II is enabled, a yellow box with the letters GS
inscribed appears at the lower right of the vertical deviation scale.
If a localizer comparator warning is detected and Category II is enabled, a yellow box with the letters LOC
inscribed appears at the right of the airplane symbol.
These messages will flash until the master warn has been reset, at which time they become steady. The
messages will disappear when the condition is corrected and the comparator reset input is received.

Activation of the pitch comparator is delayed 0.75 second.
The EFIS-85B system provides special visual clues to indicate excessive localizer and glideslope deviation on
the EADI and EHSI during a CAT II approach. The system also provides all of the logic circuits necessary to
provide additional annunciator outputs to inform the crew of the status/availability of the Category II
function. The pilot’s and copilot’s Category II select switches, switching relays, and annunciator lights
(usually a Category II green and amber light on both sides and a Category II comparator on both sides) are
installer supplied items and are not furnished as part of the EFIS-85B system.
The installer supplied external Category II comparator annunciator illuminates when CAT II is enabled,
and if the two localizer or glideslope deviations or the two radio altitudes differ by a predetermined amount.
The EADI annunciates localizer, glideslope, and radio altimeter comparators. The EHSI annunciates
localizer and glideslope comparators. An installer supplied master warn annunciator also illuminates when
any of the above comparators is tripped.
The Category II function, comparator warning, and annunciator logic is performed simultaneously and
independently by the two display processor units. These functions will also be performed by the
multifunction processor unit during reversionary modes when the MPU-85H/86H is driving either, but not
both, the pilot’s and copilot’s displays.

the localizer deviations.)
c. Annunciation
When a comparator warning is detected, a yellow box with LOC or MAZ inscribed appears flashing by
the vertical deviation pointer on the EADI and by the airplane symbol on the EHSI. The letters and the
box flash for 10 seconds before becoming steady. The master warn and CAT II compare discretes are
energized.
d. Comparator Activation Delay

c. Annunciation
When a comparator warning is detected, a yellow box with GS or MGP inscribed, appears flashing by the
lower two dots of the GS scale on both the EADI and the EHSI. The letters and the box flash for 10
seconds before becoming steady. The master warn and CAT II compare discretes are energized.
d. Comparator Activation Delay
Activation of the glideslope comparator is delayed 0.75 second.
a. Enable Logic
The radio altitude comparator is enabled when:
• On-side CAT II request discrete received.
• Cross-side data is valid.
• Both DSP’s (or DCP’s) are valid and their active courses are VOR/LOC or MLS.
• Both radio altimeters are valid.
• Cross-side DSP (or DCP) is not selected on either side.

b. Comparator Limits
A comparator warning is annunciated when the enable logic is satisfied, both radio altimeters are on
scale, or the on-side radio altimeter is less than 1000 feet and the difference between the two radio
altitudes is 30 feet plus a predetermined desense value. If the radio altimeter is off scale, its value is set
to the maximum for comparison purposes.

When the appropriate Category II logic enables are present, localizer, MLS azimuth, glideslope, or MLS
glidepath deviations are compared to prescribed limits, and appropriate warnings are displayed on the EADI
and EHSI when these limits are exceeded.
a. Enable Logic

• Go-around is not selected on either side.
b. Monitor Limits
An excessive deviation warning is annunciated when the enable logic is satisfied and the deviation
exceeds 20 µA. The on-side excessive deviation warning is also displayed when the cross-side system has
detected an excessive deviation condition, cross-side data is valid, and a localizer or MLS azimuth scale
is in view.
c. Annunciation
When an excessive localizer deviation is detected, the deviation pointer on the EADI and the deviation
bar on the EHSI change to yellow and flash. The flashing continues until the deviation signal is below

scale is in view.
c. Annunciation
When the enable logic conditions are satisfied and excessive glideslope deviation is detected, the vertical
deviation pointers on the EADI and EHSI change to yellow and flash. The flashing continues until the
deviation signal is below the limit and then it automatically reverts to a normal display.
The EFIS system contains internal monitoring which can cause various flags to appear. If the display
processor unit (DPU) fails, the words DPU FAIL will appear in red above the airplane symbol on both the
EADI and EHSI. If the displays are being driven by the multifunction processor unit (MPU), the flag is MPU
FAIL. If either flag remains in view for more than 5 seconds, the display blanks except for the fail message.
EFIS-85B(3)/86B(3): If a display select panel (DSP) failure is detected, the letters DSP will appear in red,
and boxed, in place of the DH SET readout on the EADI (lower right corner) and in place of the digital
course readout on the EHSI (lower right corner).
EFIS-85B(13)/86B(13): If a display control panel (DCP) failure is detected, the letters DCP will appear in
red, and boxed, in place of the DH SET readout on the EADI (lower right corner) and in place of the digital
course readout on the EHSI (lower right corner).
If a failure of the cross-side data bus occurs, the letters XDTA will appear in red, and boxed, in the lower left
portion of the EADI and EHSI. Data from the cross-side sensors is no longer available, and any display
driven by cross-side data is flagged. The trend vector, reference airspeed, and digital F/S scale are removed.
The DSP and XDTA flags (or DCP and XDTA flags) flash for 10 seconds before becoming steady. The
flashing can be eliminated by pressing the master warn reset.
Standard functions displayed by the MFD include weather radar, pictorial navigation map, and page data.
Additional functions are available when the multifunction display is used with the Collins FMS-90 Flight
Management System or equivalent (hereafter referred to as LNAV). Additional functions available include
waypoint definition, display of multiple waypoints, and remote data.
Weather information from the Collins WXT-250B Radar Receiver-Transmitter is processed by the WXP-85C
or -85D Weather Radar Panel and is available for display on the MFD. (As an option, the earlier WXT-250A
and the WXP-85A or -85B can be used instead of the WXT-250B and WXP-85C or -85D. The earlier units
only display four colors (black, green, yellow, or red) and do not provide the PAC Alert feature. The WXP-
85C and -85D will be discussed for the remainder of this operation section.) The WXP-85C and -85D are
identical in appearance to earlier WXP-85A and -85B versions, but are different in function. The WXP-85C
and -85D both provide a 5-color (black, green, yellow, red, magenta) weather radar display with PAC Alert
(Path Attenuation Correction). The purpose of PAC Alert is to alert the pilot when the radar encounters a
target having rainfall rates heavy enough to attenuate the beam so much that targets behind it may not be
displayed. With the PAC Alert feature, a yellow band will occasionally appear at the outer perimeter of the
range being displayed. Whenever this band appears, that portion of the radar’s scan may be missing certain
distant targets that are masked by intervening areas of rainfall.
If RDR has been selected on the MFD with target alert enabled on the WXP and not in OFF, STBY, or MAP
mode, a yellow box with the yellow letter T inscribed will appear nonflashing to the right of the lubber line.
The T annunciation will flash when a target is detected. The target alert function is automatically enabled
on the MFD (but not the EHSI’s) for all other MFD formats (NAV, RMT, PGE, and EMG) regardless of the
position of the WXP TGT pushbutton. If the TGT switch is on and MAP mode is selected, the target alert
circuits are disabled (T will not be displayed) but will again become functional when WX or NORM mode is
reselected on the WXP. The weather radar mode is displayed in cyan in the upper left corner in all MFD
formats.
A pictorial navigation map showing the location of two VOR/DME stations and/or the active waypoint from
the LNAV may be selected. The map display may be selected with or without the overlay of weather radar
information. Map range is determined by the control settings on the WXP when radar is selected. In NAV
only modes, range may be selected by using the line advance (inverted delta, ∇) or line reverse (delta, ∆) keys
along the bottom edge of the MFD front panel. When entering the NAV only mode, the range will be the last
range selected in this mode.
100 pages of user information may be stored in nonvolatile memory in the MFD. This data may be arranged
in chapters and can be designated as either normal page (PGE) or emergency (EMG) data. All 100 pages can
be input and modified by the user using either the hand-held RDP-300 Remote Data Programmer or the
CEU-85 Checklist Entry Unit.
When used in conjunction with an LNAV, the MFD provides the following additional functions.
When the NAV display mode has been selected, the joystick at the lower right corner of the MFD may be
used to move a cursor around the MAP display. The bearing and distance data associated with the cursor
waypoint can be digitally transferred to the LNAV.
The EFIS-85B EHSI’s and the MFD can display multiple (up to three) waypoints dependent on selected
range. Waypoints are interconnected and are identified on the displays by their designated waypoint
number. Waypoints are transmitted by the LNAV in either ascending or descending order dependent on the
route selected.
The LNAV transmits pages of navigation information which can be displayed on the MFD when the proper
remote port is selected. The different pages of data (and associated colors) are controlled by selecting
different modes on the LNAV’s CDU. With some LNAV’s, the joystick and select keys can be used to select
other pages of information. (With four remote ports available, alphanumeric data from two FMS-90 systems
plus two (or three if only one FMS-90 is installed) additional data sources can be displayed one at a time if
available in the system configurations.)
The weather radar only format has a solid range mark with half of the selected range annunciated in cyan at
the right hand end of the arc. Refer to Figure 3-16.
The range mark is green in MAP mode and cyan in the other modes. The weather radar range is selected on
the WXP. The weather mode is in cyan and is located in the upper left-hand corner of the display. The radar
mode of the MFD is indicated by the letters RDR in green next to the RDR button. Pressing the RDR button
allows weather to be displayed on the MFD in the form selected on the WXP. A second press of the RDR
button deletes the weather display. The weather radar target alert is in the upper righthand corner and is
yellow. The white airplane symbol is in the bottom center and the white compass sector is across the top of
the display. A magenta heading cursor will also be displayed if the selected heading is within the range of
the displayed compass sector. Weather intensity is color coded with the black screen representing no
detectable moisture, minimum moisture levels displayed in green, the next level in yellow, the next in red,
and the heaviest levels of rainfall shown in magenta. The PAC Alert feature operates as previously
described. If MAP mode is selected on the WXP, the red is replaced by magenta, and green is replaced by
cyan. If RDR and NAV modes are selected, the range mark remains solid. If NAV mode is selected without
RDR, the range mark is dashed. If the WXP is turned off or a loss of signal from the WXP is detected, and
radar mode is selected, the range mark is removed and the range is set to 300 nm.
If a failure of the heading sensor is detected, a red box with the letters HDG inscribed appear to the right of
the lubber line. If the MPU-85H/86H detects a heading comparator warn, a yellow box with the letters HDG
inscribed appear to the left of the lubber line. If a fault is detected in the weather radar system, FAULT
replaces the radar mode annunciation.
Refer to Figure 3-17. NAV symbology is superimposed on a basic display consisting of a lubber line (white), a
±40-degree compass sector (white), an intermediate range arc (cyan), and an airplane symbol (white). Two
VOR’s, one LNAV, and a heading line may be displayed simultaneously. If the WXP is on and RDR mode is
selected, the range is selected on the WXP and the range mark is solid. If RDR mode is not selected, the
range is selected using the line advance (inverted delta, ∇) or line reverse (delta, Mkt∆) keys along the
bottom edge of the MFD front panel and the range mark is dashed.
VOR stations as selected by the MFD NAV menu are shown by octagon-shaped symbols placed in proper
rho-theta position with respect to airplane heading and selected range. A selected course line is drawn
through the station symbol with its position controlled by the CRS knob on the corresponding DSP (or CHP).
The selected course line may be rotated with the DSP’s (or CHP’s) selected CRS knob even if the primary
course is LNAV or OFF. If DSP (or DCP) control is transferred, the corresponding course line is removed.
The course line is solid on the to side of the VOR and dashed on the from side. If the VOR symbol is off scale
with respect to selected range and/or bearing, the course line is drawn with an arrow pointing toward the
station and an IDENT is displayed on the line. The digital course and station identifier are shown in the
lower left corner for VOR1 or lower right for VOR2. Left side (pilot’s) VOR’s are green and right side
(copilot’s) are yellow.
If a VOR is selected for display and a localizer frequency is tuned, no symbol is displayed and the sensor
annunciator displays LOC1 or LOC2. If the paired DME is placed in hold or fails, the VOR symbol and
station identifier are removed and the sensor annunciator displays bearing. The colors for these
annunciators are the same as the primary course annunciators.
A selected LNAV waypoint string (up to three waypoints) is displayed as star-shaped symbols with track
lines placed in the proper rho-theta position. The course to the next LNV1 waypoint and its waypoint
number are annunciated in the lower left corner below the VOR1 course annunciation. The sensor for the
next LNV2 waypoint and its waypoint number are annunciated in the lower right corner below the VOR2
course annunciation. LNV1 displays are white and LNV2 are cyan. If the next waypoint is off scale, the
course line is still displayed with an arrow pointing toward the to waypoint. If the distance between the first
and second or second and third waypoints is greater than 511 nm (the maximum value), a line is drawn as if
the waypoint was off scale. The to waypoint flashes to indicate waypoint alert from the LNAV.
With LNAV data being displayed, the joystick can be used to position a new waypoint in a compatible LNAV
system. As soon as the joystick is moved, the third line select key (from the top) is labeled ENTER and is
used to insert the new waypoint in the waypoint string of the selected LNAV as the to waypoint. If the
ENTER button is not pressed and the joystick is not moved for 30 seconds, the joystick data and ENTER are
removed from the display.
The heading cursor is shown by two adjacent magenta rectangles when selected heading is on scale. When
selected heading is off scale, a digital readout (magenta) will appear at the appropriate end of the compass
sector closest to the selected heading value and a magenta line will appear from the center of the airplane
symbol to the edge of the display at the selected heading angle. If desired, the lower line select key in NAV
menu mode (labeled HDG) can be pressed to display the selected heading line. Selected heading is controlled
by the HDG knob on the left side DSP (or CHP) unless control has been transferred to the right side.
The weather radar mode (cyan) is shown in the upper left corner. The target alert (yellow) is shown in the
upper right. The NAV mode of the MFD is annunciated by the green letters NAV in the upper left of the
display below the weather radar mode. With both RDR and NAV selected, weather radar information is
superimposed on the selected navigation display. Weather colors are as previously described.
If a failure of the heading sensor is detected, a red box with the letters HDG inscribed appears to the right of
the lubber line. If the failure was from an internal synchro monitor, the compass sector display is frozen. If
the MPU-85H/86H detects a heading comparator warn, a yellow box with the letters HDG inscribed appear
to the left of the lubber line.
If a failure of a selected navigation sensor is detected, the annunciation in the lower left (left side course) or
lower right (right side course) changes to VOR or LNV as applicable and turns red. The navaid symbols and
connecting lines are removed from the display. Compatibility between NAV sensors and HDG sources are
the same as described in paragraph 3.10.4.3 for MFD-85A NAV operation.
The following paragraphs describe the operation of the MFD. The MFD is a flight planning unit which is
used to augment and add to the operational capabilities of the EFIS-85B system.
If none of the mode buttons on the left side of the MFD are pressed, the display consists of the airplane
symbol, compass sector with lubber line, heading cursor (if on scale) or if selected heading is off scale, a
digital readout (magenta) will appear at the appropriate end of the compass sector closest to the selected
heading value and a magenta line will appear from the center of the airplane symbol to the edge of the
display at the selected heading angle. The selected heading function is controlled by the HDG knob on the
left side DSP (or CHP) unless control has been transferred to the right side DSP (or CHP).
Pressing the RDR button allows the weather radar mode selected on the WXP-85C or -85D Weather Radar
Panel to be displayed on the MFD. The display is weather only or can be selected in conjunction with the
NAV mode. If in weather only, selecting the NAV function adds the NAV modes previously selected to the
weather display. If weather (RDR) is pressed again, the display reverts to NAV only. If in NAV only,
selecting RDR will add weather to the NAV display. The display consists of an airplane symbol in the bottom
center of the display, a compass segment and lubber line at the top, a single cyan range mark displayed at
midrange with the midrange distance (5, 12.5, 25, 50, 100, and 150) shown in cyan digits at the right-hand
end of the range mark (2.5- and 300-nmi midrange distances (5- and 600-nmi full scale ranges) are available
in NAV only mode), weather radar mode, heading cursor (if on scale), and heading line if selected along with
the weather radar display. If in RDR only or in a combined RDR-NAV mode, the range mark is solid and
weather range is selected on the WXP, as is the radar mode. If in NAV only, the range mark is dashed and
the range is selected using the ∆ or ∇ keys along the bottom edge of the MFD. Weather colors and PAC Alert
are as previously described. If MAP mode is selected on the WXP, red is replaced by magenta, and green is
replaced by cyan. The range mark also changes from cyan to green.
Refer to Figure 3-20 and Figure 3-21. When the NAV button is pressed, the navigation mode will appear
showing the NAVAIDS last selected along with the airplane symbol in the lower center, compass segment
and lubber line at the top, and the cyan range mark at midrange. In NAV only, the range mark is dashed
and the range displayed at the right end of the cyan range mark is selected by the ∆ or ∇ keys along the
bottom edge of the MFD. A second press of the NAV button removes the navigation display.
Note
If dual area navigation systems are installed and operating, the two key labels at the upper right of
Figure 3-20 would change from VOR 1 to RNV 1 and from VOR 2 to RNV 2 respectively.
The upper line select key (the key on the right hand side of the display with the green boxed arrow pointing
toward it) allows the pilot to change the source of the NAVAIDS. When this key is pressed, the MFD goes
into the NAV menu mode and the NAV display is replaced by key labels as follows (from top to bottom):
VOR 1, VOR 2, LNV1/LNV2, and HDG. The word ENTER also appears in green to the right of the NAV
button. To select sensors for the NAV display, the desired line select buttons opposite the sensor are pressed
with sensor selection indicated by a color change to green if selected and white if not selected. Pressing the
HDG button adds/deletes a selected heading line. For the LNV1/LNV2 key, successive pushes will alternate
between both off (LNV1/LNV2 both white), LNV1 selected (LNV1 is green), LNV2 selected (LNV2 is green),
and back to both off. (Only one LNAV may be selected for display at a given time. However, it may be
selected in conjunction with two VOR’s.) The sensor select keys are interlocked to give priority to data so
that only two sources are enabled at a time (HDG is independent). Following selection of the desired
sensor(s), pressing the NAV button (labeled ENTER) returns the display to the sector display with the
selected sensor(s) shown. Color coding for the selected NAV sources are as follows:
VOR1 Green, includes map symbol, course line (if selected), digital course and bearing,
station ident, and to/from.
VOR2 Yellow, same data as VOR1
LNV1 White, includes waypoint symbol(s) and connecting lines, digital course, and
waypoint numbers.
LNV2 Cyan, same data as LNV1
Heading line Magenta (heading cursor is also magenta)
When digital course is displayed, it will be shown to a whole number of degrees only. If VOR is the selected
sensor, then the position of the corresponding course line is controlled by the CRS knob on the applicable
DSP. The course line may be rotated with the DSP’s (or CHP’s) selected CRS knob even if the primary course
is LNAV or OFF. If HDG is the selected sensor, a magenta line will connect the heading cursor to the
airplane symbol. This line will rotate with the heading cursor. Heading select operates exactly as on the
EHSI with the DSP (or CHP) HDG knob controlling this function. When displaying the NAV format,
weather radar information may be added/deleted by pressing the RDR button.
Depending on selected navigation sources and the selection of magnetic or true heading sources,
compatibility problems can occur. Table 3-2 defines the conditions which are incompatible and the MFD
annunciations that are provided to alert the pilot of those conditions.
MAG 1 TRUE 1
VOR 1 or RNV 1 OK *
VOR 2 or RNV 2 OK *
LNAV 1 TRUE * OK
LNAV 1 MAG OK *
LNAV 2 TRUE * OK
LNAV 2 MAG OK *
* = Incompatible navigation source vs heading source. For these cases, the navigation source annunciator at the bottom of the MFD
will flash until a compatible selection is made.
Refer to Figure 3-22. In NAV mode, the joystick can be used to locate an MFD defined waypoint for entry in
a compatible LNAV system if installed. As soon as the joystick is moved in any direction, the label
ENTER appears next to the third line select key (from the top). As the green waypoint symbol is being
positioned on the display, its position (course and distance) from the airplane symbol is shown in green digits
in the lower left center of the display. A green dashed line interconnects the waypoint symbol and the center
of the airplane symbol to aid in orientation. Once the waypoint has been positioned, it can be inserted in the
selected LNAV waypoint string by pressing the line select key labeled ENTER. Only one LNAV waypoint
string may be selected at one time (selecting one will deselect the other) and joystick information will be
transmitted to the selected LNAV only.
Refer to Figure 3-23 and Figure 3-24. Pressing the RMT button will cause four labels (RMT 1, RMT 2, RMT
3, RMT 4) to appear next to the line select keys. Pressing the appropriate line select key will cause data from
the selected remote input to be displayed on the MFD. The displayed data depends upon the position of the
controls on the selected remote system. If no remote device is connected or if the selected system does not
output remote data for the line select key pressed, a message NO DATA FROM REMOTE DEVICE #X will
be displayed after approximately 5 seconds.
Note
Procedures for programming data (PGE, EMG, chapter titles) into the MFD-85A using the RDP-300
Remote Data Programmer are located in paragraph 3.15.
Procedures for programming data (PGE, EMG, chapter titles) into the MFD-85( ) using the CEU-85
Checklist Entry Unit are located in paragraph 3.16.
100 pages of combined page and emergency procedures are available. Each page has a 13-line-per-page, 20-
character-per-line format. The top line on each page is reserved for weather radar mode and target alert
leaving 12 lines available for programming data. The data can be chapterized as required by the user to
organize the data. If the data is not chapterized, then the 100 pages can be accessed one page at a time
starting with page 1 whenever the PGE or EMG buttons are pressed. The following procedure for using the
PGE and EMG functions assumes the data has been chapterized. Refer to Figure 3-25 through Figure 3-28.
a. When page (PGE) is selected and the joystick is moved downward or upward, up to four chapter titles
will appear next to the line select keys on the right side of the MFD. Movement of the joystick upward
will cause the next set of up to four chapter titles to be displayed. Movement of the joystick downward
will cause the previous four chapter titles to be displayed.
b. If one of these four chapter titles is needed, pressing the appropriate line select key causes the first page
of the selected chapter to be displayed. If other chapter titles are required, movement of the joystick
downward will cause the next four chapter titles to be displayed. Movement of the joystick upward will
cause the previous four chapter titles to be displayed.
c. When the desired chapter title is found and the first page has been called up by pressing the appropriate
line select key, the keys along the bottom of the MFD are used to control the page data. These keys are
used as follows:
Note
When the first page of a chapter is called up, the first line will be cyan and the rest will be yellow.
1. Line advance (inverted delta, ∇) — Press this button to acknowledge a line of data and move down
one line (does not have to be pushed for any blank lines). The old line becomes green and the next
line below becomes cyan. If the last line is cyan and the ∇ button is pressed, the display advances to
the next page. If the line being considered is the result of pressing the RCL button (to reconsider
skipped lines), pressing the ∇ button acknowledges that line and automatically advances the cyan
line to the next line that was skipped, regardless of which page within the selected chapter that line
falls on. Should all data checks be acknowledged, pressing the ∇ button will cause all of the lines
within the selected chapter to be scanned and will return to page 1 of the selected chapter.
Note
Each page may contain as many as 12 lines of data with each line having up to 20 characters. Each
line may be individually considered, acknowledged, or skipped if that page is to be used as a
checklist. Lines already considered or acknowledged are green. Lines not yet considered are yellow.
The line currently being considered is cyan, a blue-green color. If the line being considered (cyan) is
to be acknowledged, then press the ∇ button. The line that was being considered becomes green and
the next line becomes cyan. If the line being considered is not yet to be acknowledged but is to be
reconsidered at a later time, then press the SKP button. The line that was being considered remains
the color it was prior to being considered, and the next line becomes cyan.
2. Line reverse (delta, ∆) — Press this button to back the cursor up one line of data without
acknowledgement. The cyan line becomes yellow and the next line above (excluding blanks) becomes
cyan. If the cursor is on the first line and the ∆ button is pressed, the display backs up to the bottom
line of the preceding page within the selected chapter.
3. Skip (SKP) — Press this button to select the next lower line of data without acknowledging the
current line of data. The cyan line (current line being considered) remains as it was before becoming
cyan (if yellow it remains yellow, if green it remains green) and the next line below becomes cyan.
When a line is skipped, it is identified in the MFD as an uncompleted line and is subject to later
recall as long as you do not change chapters. All skips will be lost if the chapter is changed prior to
completing the checklist (using the recall button). For this reason, some operators may prefer to put
the entire checklist in one chapter rather than breaking the checklist out into different chapters.
After skipping a line, follow normal procedures to complete the checklist.
If the line being considered is the result of pressing the RCL (recall) button, then pressing SKP will
skip over that line without acknowledging it and automatically go to the next skipped line or the top
line on the first page of the selected chapter, whichever occurs first.
4. Recall (RCL) — When in the PGE or EMG mode, press this button at any time to recall previously
skipped lines (lines not yet acknowledged) as long as you do not change chapters (see skip
paragraphs above). The recall function immediately displays the first page in the selected chapter
which has a skipped (yellow) line. That line becomes cyan. If the line is to be acknowledged, press
the ∇ button as before. The line is acknowledged and the system resumes searching for the next
skipped line. If a skipped line is not yet to be acknowledged, press the SKP button as before. The
system still identifies that line as uncompleted and resumes searching for the next skipped line. If
all of the skipped lines are acknowledged (∇), the display returns to the first page within the selected
chapter. Note that anytime the PGE or EMG mode is selected and the RCL button is pressed, the
system returns to the top line of the first page within the selected chapter and begins searching for
skipped lines. Going to another chapter cancels all skipped lines and checklist in the previous
chapter. If in PGE or EMG mode and NAV or RMT is selected, then pressing RCL immediately
returns the display to the line (either being considered, acknowledged, or skipped) in the PGE or
EMG chapter that was being displayed prior to selecting NAV or RMT.
5. Joystick up/dn — moves to next page (down) or prior page (up) within the selected chapter.
Automatically rolls over in either direction within chapter.
6. Joystick right/left — moves display to the first page of next chapter (right) or the first page of prior
chapter (left).
d. Emergency procedures (EMG) are handled exactly as with the PGE operation. The 100 pages can be
divided as needed between PGE and EMG. Emergency procedures can also be chapterized as discussed
in PGE operation.
e. Exiting from either PGE or EMG is accomplished by initiating any other selection. If in PGE or EMG
mode and NAV or RMT is selected, then pressing RCL immediately returns the display to the line
(either being considered, acknowledged, or skipped) in the PGE or EMG chapter that was being
displayed prior to selecting NAV or RMT. Going from PGE to EMG and vice versa is direct with key
selections.
f. Data entry is made using the handheld RDP-300 Remote Data Programmer as described in paragraph
3.15. Data entry may also be made using the CEU-85 Checklist Entry Unit, as described in its
instruction book.
The self-test sequence is initiated by actuating an external installer supplied switch or switches (EFIS TEST
or similar). When self-test is first initiated, an increment of 10 degrees is added to the current values of pitch
and roll, and 20 degrees is added to heading. A positive increment is added to the pilot’s side and a negative
increment is added to the copilot’s side. The word TEST, in red, will appear on the EADI’s and the MFD
while the test is in process. The addition of the differential 10- and 20-degree increments causes the
comparator logic in the DPU-85H/86H Display Processor Unit to give flashing PIT (pitch), ROL (roll), and
HDG (heading) comparator warning messages. A copyright message also appears during test.
The Category II comparator and excessive deviation warnings may also be tested. If the Category II select
switch is actuated and the on-side localizer is tuned, the Category II warning annunciators are displayed.
These include GS compare, LOC compare, RA compare, glideslope excessive deviation, and localizer
excessive deviation.
If the self-test switch is held for longer than 4 seconds, the pitch, roll, and heading increments are removed
from view and all flags associated with the EADI and EHSI displays will be brought into view. When the
self-test switch is released, the displays will return to normal operation. An external installer supplied
comparator reset button or switch must be actuated to reset the PIT, ROL, and HDG comparator warning
messages. Actuating master reset once stops the PIT, ROL or HDG indications from flashing. Actuating
comparator reset will eliminate the comparator messages if the condition causing the comparator warning
has been eliminated.
The EFIS-85B Electronic Flight Instrument System provides system operational capability in the event of
the failure of a system element. The following paragraphs describe this capability with reference to any
operational differences which may be required. All external switches for reversionary switching are supplied
as part of the installation by the installer. Refer to the Airplane Flight Manual Supplement for additional
information, switch labels, etc.
Refer to Figure 3-29. In the event of an EFD failure, an external switch can be actuated to cause either the
EADI display to transfer to the EHSI in composite format or the EHSI to transfer to the EADI to form the
same composite format and an EHSI format to transfer to the MFD. Another interconnect wiring option
allows the EADI to be transferred unchanged to the EHSI, and the EHSI to be transferred to the MFD.
Detected DPU failures are annunciated by the red words DPU FAIL centered laterally and immediately
above the vertical center of both the EADI and the EHSI. If a DPU failure occurs, an external switch can be
actuated that allows the MPU-85H/86H Multifunction Processor Unit (MPU) to provide the control to the
affected EADI and EHSI. Since the MPU has access to the DSP-85A Display Select Panel (or DCP-85E
Display Control Panel) controlling the failed DPU, no degradation in EADI or EHSI performance occurs.
When the MPU replaces a DPU, the MFD-85A displays either an EHSI or a composite format. Except for the
PWR pushbutton and the INT control, none of the controls on the MFD are operational in this mode.
For detected DSP failures, the letters DSP, red and boxed, replace the decision height readout on the EADI
and the digital course readout on the EHSI. Also, the FCS mode data received through the DSP are removed
from the EADI. If a DSP failure occurs, an external switch can be actuated that will cause the DPU on the
side with the failed DSP to be controlled by the opposite side DSP. This transfer condition is annunciated by
the letters XDSP, yellow and boxed, located in the lower right corner of the EADI next to the decision height
readout.
Under the transfer condition, all display parameters (except FCS mode annunciation) are controlled by the
opposite side DSP. Parameters controlled by the DSP are displayed in yellow on the side with the failed
DSP.
If the DSP is transferred and the on-side DSP does not have a detected failure, the on-side FCS modes are
displayed. If the on-side DSP has a detected failure, the FCS mode annunciation is removed.
For detected DCP failures, the letters DCP, red and boxed, replace the decision height readout on the EADI
and the digital course readout on the EHSI. Also, the FCS mode data received through the DCP are removed
from the EADI. If a DCP failure occurs, an external switch can be actuated that will cause the DPU on the
side with the failed DCP to be controlled by the opposite side DCP. This transfer condition is annunciated by
the letters XDCP, yellow and boxed, located in the lower right corner of the EADI next to the decision height
readout.
Under the transfer condition, all display parameters (except FCS mode annunciation) are controlled by the
opposite side DCP. Parameters controlled by the DCP are displayed in yellow on the side with the failed
DCP.
If the DCP is transferred and the on-side DCP does not have a detected failure, the on-side FCS modes are
displayed. If the on-side DCP has a detected failure, the FCS mode annunciation is removed.
A detected MPU failure results in the words MPU FAIL being displayed in red on the MFD-85A and on the
EFD’s if they are being driven by the MPU. If the single MPU fails, external switching of the digital bus
lines is required to maintain cross-side data and comparator functions on either side EADI or EHSI. If the
fault causing the MPU FAIL is present for longer than 10 seconds, the displays being driven are blanked
except for the words MPU FAIL. Backup drive for the EFD’s is lost as well as the MFD display. The weather
radar modes are still available on the EHSI’s.
In the event of an MFD-85A failure, there is no complete backup capability for this display. Navigation and
weather radar information is available for display on the EHSI’s. Checklist and remote data functions are
lost.
a. Pilot’s Side — Actuating an external switch replaces the pilot’s side data with the copilot’s side data on
the pilot’s EADI as the primary attitude. When this function is selected, the letters ATT2, in yellow,
appear to the left of the radio altitude display in the upper right center of the pilot’s EADI. The PIT and
ROL attitude comparator function remains active but are using the same data.
b. Copilot’s Side — Actuating an external switch replaces the copilot’s side data with the pilot’s side data
on the copilot’s EADI as the primary attitude. When this function is selected, the letters ATT1, in yellow,
appear to the left of the radio altitude display in the upper right center of the copilot’s EADI. The PIT
and ROL attitude comparator function remains active.
a. Pilot’s Side — Actuating an external switch replaces the pilot’s side data with the copilot’s side data on
the pilot’s EHSI as the primary heading. When this function is selected, the letters HDG2, in yellow,
appear to the left of the digital CRS display in the lower right of the pilot’s EHSI. The HDG comparator
function remains active.
b. Copilot’s Side — Actuating an external switch replaces the copilot’s side data with the pilot’s side data
on the copilot’s EHSI as the primary heading. When this function is selected, the letters HDG1, in
yellow, appear to the left of the digital CRS display in the lower right of the copilot’s EHSI. The HDG
comparator function remains active.
The following illustrations (Figure 3-30 through Figure 3-34) show the location and color of the EADI and
EHSI annunciators, special displays, and flags.

14 DECISION HEIGHT SET (CYAN) — 999 feet is maximum. Flashes between DH +50 feet and
DH.
17 LATERAL DEVIATION SOURCE — Localizer (green), if CAT II, flashing yellow while
deviation is excessive. VOR (green). LNAV (white).
19 SPEED DEVIATION SOURCE (CYAN) — SPD (analog air- speed) or AOA (angle of attack)
Figure 3-31. EHSI Symbology, Annunciators and Special Displays (ROSE Format Shown)
3 HEADING DATA (WHITE) — ∇ = magnetic source, TRUE = true heading source, DG = direc-
tional gyrott ∇ ∇
4 DEVIATION TYPE (SEE NOTE) — LIN, ANG, or XTK. If DME is lost or in hold when flying
linearized VOR, changes to ANG and flashes for 10 seconds. If in back localizer and VNAV is
enabled, B/L is displayed.
7 NAV DATA (SEE NOTE) — TTG = time-to-go, ET = elapsed time, GSP = ground speed, and ###
= wind speed (digits) and direction from (arrow).
9 VERTICAL DEVIATION SOURCE — Glideslope (green), if CAT II, flashing yellow while
deviation is excessive. MGP (green). VNAV (white).
If in back localizer and VNAV is not enabled, B/L is displayed in place of the glideslope scale.
11 HEADING SENSOR ANNUNCIATOR — HDG1 or HDG2. White for on-side, yellow for cross-
side.
14 BEARING POINTER SOURCE — Green for on-side VOR/ADF, white for on-side LNAV, and
cyan for all cross-side sources.
15 SECOND COURSE ARROW SOURCE (CYAN) — If VOR is selected with DME in hold, VOR1 H
or VOR2 H is displayed with VOR1 or VOR2 in cyan and H in yellow. If VOR is selected and the
DME fails, VOR1 D or VOR2 D is displayed with VOR1 or VOR2 in cyan and D in red.
16 PRIMARY COURSE ARROW SOURCE — Green for on-side VOR/LOC, white for on-side LNAV,
and yellow for all cross-side sources.
Note
The following legends/readouts follow the same color coding as the primary course arrow source:
Distance, time-to-go, ground speed, digital course, primary course arrow, to/from, deviation source
annunciator, and B/L. ET (elapsed time) is green for on-side VOR, white for on-side LNAV, and
yellow for cross-side VOR and LNAV.
2 WEATHER RADAR OR NAV RANGE MARK — With weather radar enabled, range mark is solid
cyan for STBY, TEST, WX, and NORM modes. Range mark is solid green for MAP mode. With
navigation only (no weather radar), range mark is dashed cyan.
3 WEATHER RADAR OR NAV RANGE — 5, 12.5, 25, 50, 100, or 150 indicates 1/2 of range selected
on WXP when radar is selected on the DSP (or DCP). 2.5, 5, 12.5, 25, 50, 100, 150, or 300 indicates
1/2 of range selected with RNG knob on the DSP (or SEL/RNG on the DCP) when weather radar is
not enabled.
5 TO/FROM ANNUNCIATOR (APPLIES TO APPR FORMAT ONLY) — The to/from pointer visible
on the ROSE format is replaced by the letters TO or FR when the EHSI is displaying the APPR
format. The letters are green for an on-side VOR source and yellow for a cross-side source, or white
for LNV. If an LNAV is the primary selected course, the TO annunciation flashes to indicate
waypoint alert. If an LNAV is the second selected course, the star-shaped to waypoint symbol
(cyan) flashes to indicate waypoint alert.
If an LNAV is the second selected course, an arrow is drawn on the track line pointing to the to
waypoint. The star-shaped to waypoint symbol flashes to indicate waypoint alert. The waypoint
symbols, track lines, and arrows are cyan for the second selected course.
Also unique to the enroute format (but not shown on the illustration) is the to/from display when a
VOR is the primary or second selected course. The VOR is shown by an octagon-shaped symbol
with the station identifier displayed next to the VOR symbol on the side nearest the vertical center
line of the display. A selected course line is drawn through the VOR symbol with its position
controlled by the CRS knob on the DSP (or CHP). The course line is solid on the to side of the
symbol and dashed on the from side. If the VOR symbol is off scale with respect to selected range
and/or bearing, the course line is drawn with an arrow pointing toward the station. For the
primary selected course, the VOR symbol, station identifier, course line and navigation source
annunciator are green for the on-side source or yellow for the cross-side source. For the second
selected course, the VOR symbol, station identifier, course line and navigation source annunciator
are cyan.
8 WEATHER RADAR MODE (CYAN) — OFF, STBY, TEST, NORM, WX, MAP, or FAULT.
(Indicates weather radar mode selected on WXP when radar is selected on the DSP or DCP.) The
following annunciations will alternate at a 1-Hz rate: NORM/GAIN, WX/GAIN, MAP/GAIN,
TEST/HOLD, NORM/HOLD, WX/HOLD, MAP/HOLD, and HOLD/GAIN.
Note
Only the differences from the ROSE (or HSI) format are shown/described.
1 DISPLAY PROCESSOR UNIT FLAG (RED). Blanks rest of display after 5 seconds.
2 ATTITUDE FLAG (RED) — Removes raster, roll scale, roll pointer, pitch scale, and command
bars.
3 RADIO ALTITUDE FLAG (RED) — Removes radio altitude display, DH, and DH SET.
4 VERTICAL DEVIATION FLAG (RED) — GS removes nothing. ALT removes pointer and scale.
5 DISPLAY CONTROL PANEL FLAG (RED) — Removes DH set display and FCS mode
annunciators.
6 LATERAL DEVIATION FLAG (RED) — LOC or MAZ removes nothing. VOR, TCN, and RNV
removes the pointer if the internal VOR/TCN/RNV bearing synchro monitor detects a fault. LNV,
VLF, INS, and LRN removes the pointer if the internal bearing or track synchro monitors detect
a fault.
7 CROSS-SIDE DATA BUS FLAG (RED) — Removes all cross-side data and flags it.
8 SPEED COMMAND FLAG (RED) — AOA or SPD removes pointer and scale.
9 FLIGHT DIRECTOR FLAG (RED) — Removes command bars.
10 AIR DATA FLAG (RED) — Removes IAS display, speed command pointer and scale, reference
airspeed readout, and altitude deviation.
Note
All flags except DPU FAIL flash for 10 seconds then become steady (DPU FAIL is on steady). May
stop flashing with MASTER RESET.
2 DISPLAY PROCESSOR UNIT FLAG (RED) — Blanks rest of display after 5 seconds.
3 TIME-TO-GO, GROUND SPEED, OR WIND FLAG (RED) — Replaces data with dashes.
4 VERTICAL DEVIATION FLAG (RED) — GS or MGP removes nothing, VNV removes pointer
and scale.
5 DISPLAY CONTROL PANEL FLAG (RED) — Removes DH set display and FCS annunciators.
6 CROSS-SIDE DATA BUS FLAG (RED) — Removes all cross-side data and flags it.
Note
1. Loss of LNV valid removes to/from. Loss of VOR valid removes nothing.
If a failure is detected by the VOR bearing, LNV bearing or LNV track synchro, or bus parameter
monitors, then the deviation bar and to/from are removed.
2. All flags except DPU FAIL flash for 10 seconds then become steady (DPU FAIL is on steady).
May stop flashing by MASTER RESET.
3. ROSE format is shown. Other formats are handled in the same manner.
Refer to Table 3-3 and Table 3-4 for a summary of MFD-85A annunciators and flags.

3.14 PROGRAMMING MFD-8 5A PAGE (PGE) AND EMERGENCY (EMG) DATA USING THE
RDP-300 REMOTE DATA PROGRAMMER
Before beginning any programming operation, write down and lay out exactly what the chapter titles are to
be, and exactly what will be placed on each page within that chapter.
Note
Refer to Figure 3-41 for a sample programming grid that can be duplicated on any office copier and
used to write out each page of data. The grid will aid in keeping track of characters and lines
available/used per page.
Keep in mind that there are 100 available pages and each page has 12 lines of 20 characters each. Also
indicate which chapters, if any, will be emergency chapters. Chapter length depends on user requirements.
You may have 1 chapter of 100 pages or 100 chapters of 1 page or any combination in between. It is
recommended that pages be numbered consecutively within a chapter. It is also suggested that one or two
blank pages be left between chapters to accommodate additional information in the future. Note also that
with multiple chapters, all skips will be lost if another chapter is selected prior to completing the checklist
(using the recall button) in the existing chapter. For this reason, some operators may prefer to put the entire
checklist in one chapter rather than breaking the checklist out into different chapters. The information
programmed into the MFD-85A will not be erased by power removal. Anything programmed during an
earlier procedure will remain until reprogrammed.
Caution
To prevent the loss of data, it is essential that the programming procedure is followed carefully and
in the order given. Make certain that the RDP-300 is connected to or disconnected from the
MFD-85A only while continuous power is applied to the system.
Before any data can be programmed into the MFD-85A, the unit must be put into the edit mode. There are
two ways to enter into the edit mode depending on the data currently in the MFD-85A. If the MFD-85A is
new (never programmed before), pushing the PGE button causes the display to read:
NO PAGE
CHAPTERS FOUND. PLUG
IN RDP-300 TO EDIT.
NO EMERGENCY
CHAPTERS FOUND. PLUG
IN RDP-300 TO EDIT.
In either case, simply plug in the RDP-300 to enter into the edit mode. If the above messages don’t appear
after pushing the respective PGE or EMG button, then the MFD-85A has been programmed (or at least a
chapter has been defined) during an earlier procedure and the following should be used to get into edit mode.
If there are chapter titles shown next to the line select keys on the MFD-85A and a change to one of these
chapters is desired, then push the line select key next to the desired chapter title, plug in the RDP-300 and
make the changes. If the desired chapter title is not displayed, then move the joystick up or down until the
chapter title is found for the chapter that needs to be changed. Then push the line select key next to the
desired chapter title, plug in the RDP-300 and make the changes. If you do not know the chapter title of
what you want to change and the NO PAGE CHAPTERS FOUND or the NO EMERGENCY CHAPTERS
FOUND message does not appear, then push the top line select key, plug in the RDP-300 and find the
page(s) you want to change (you are now in edit mode).
Warning
The MFD-85A EMG function displays only what has been programmed into memory as emergency
data. The user must realize that this data may or may not be applicable to an actual emergency. The
airplane flight manual emergency checklist must be referred to for proper corrective actions to be
taken in various emergency situations.
Whether you are in PGE edit mode (pushed the PGE button to enter) or in EMG edit mode (pushed the EMG
button to enter), all 100 pages of the checklist memory can be changed. The only time you need to know
which edit mode you are in is when you want to make a title page. If you want to make a PGE chapter title
page, then the PGE edit mode must be entered. If you want to make an EMG chapter title page, then the
EMG edit mode must be entered. Deleting chapter title pages from PGE or EMG can be done in either PGE
or EMG edit modes.
A title page can be created at any time. To make a PGE title page, enter the PGE edit mode, find the page
you wish to make into a title page, then position the cursor over the first character on the first of the 12 lines
on the page (upper left most character on the page). With this done, press the top line select key at the upper
right of the MFD. The cursor will move one character position to the right. This signifies that a PGE title
page has been created. To make an EMG title page, enter the EMG edit mode and repeat the above
procedure.
A title page can also be removed at any time. To delete any title page, enter either PGE or EMG edit mode
(either one will work for deleting a PGE or EMG title page). Find the title page by moving the joystick to the
left or right, position the cursor over the first character of the first line of the displayed page, and retype the
character that is under the cursor using the RDP-300. The cursor will move one character to the right and
the page will no longer be a title page.
The joystick can be used in edit mode to help find pages or chapter titles more easily. If chapters have
already been entered into the MFD-85A, then pushing the PGE or EMG buttons may give up to four titles,
one next to each of the line select keys. Note that only PGE chapters will appear when the PGE button is
pressed and only EMG chapters will appear when the EMG button is pressed. If the next set of four titles is
desired, then pushing the joystick down will display the next set of up to four titles. Continue pushing the
joystick down as needed to view successive sets of titles. If the previous set of four titles was desired, then
push the joystick up to display the previous set of up to four titles. Continue pushing the joystick up as
needed to view previous sets of titles.
Once in edit mode (a line select key is pressed and the RDP-300 is plugged in), the joystick can be used
again. Moving the joystick down will cause the next page to be displayed even if the next page is a title page
for the next PGE or EMG chapter. The cursor will be in the upper left of the display. Pushing the joystick up
will cause the previous page to be displayed. The cursor will be in the lower right of the display. Pushing the
joystick to the right will cause the next title page to appear regardless of whether it is a PGE title page or an
EMG title page. The cursor will be in the upper left of the display. Pushing the joystick to the left will cause
the previous title page to appear regardless of whether it is a PGE title page or an EMG title page. The
cursor will be in the upper left of the display.
Because there are only 100 available pages in the MFD-85A, a title page should be part of the checklist page
(ie, the entire page should be used for part of the checklist). How to create a title page has already been
described. It should be noted that the very top line of the title page is what will show next to the line select
keys when either the PGE or EMG buttons are pressed. The line will appear exactly like what is entered (via
the RDP-300) into the particular checklist (only PGE titles will appear for PGE, and EMG titles for EMG
mode). Therefore, the top line of the page should contain enough information to describe the chapter
checklist contents. It is suggested that the top line be right justified so as to appear next to the appropriate
line select key or else fill in with periods (.) to the right of the line. This will help you select the correct title
page.
Figure 3-35 shows how a typical written layout of chapters and pages might appear.
Note
The page numbers for all pages (1 through 100) have been visually and internally numbered at the
factory for convenience. The visual page numbers will appear at the upper right of each page. These
page numbers can be relocated on the page, eliminated, or changed (not recommended) to a different
number as desired.
Note
Those who choose to use the MFD-85A for checklist purposes must consider it as an aid only and
realize that it contains only the data that someone has programmed into it. The Airplane Flight
Manual contains the approved checklists.
The RDP-300 (Figure 3-36) is a portable, handheld unit, similar to a calculator, that is used to input data
into the memory of the MFD-85A. The RDP-300 should be stored in a location that is accessible to the flight
crew if on-airplane programming is desired. The various RDP-300 keys and their functions are described in
Figure 3-37.
Note
There are eight keys on the RDP-300 that can be held down causing the function assigned to that
key to be continuously repeated. The eight keys are PF, PR, LF, LR, — (dash, located above 1), BLK
(blank), SP (space), and . (dot). The SH key does not have to be held down when holding one of the
upper case function keys down.
Note
If the SH key is pressed and then it is decided not to use the upper case function, press the SH key a
second time to cancel the shift.
The MFD-85A provides various keys to aid the user when in the edit mode. The following paragraphs
describe the functions of these keys.
Line advance (inverted delta, ∇ — Similar to the SH and then LF keys on the RDP-300. Pushing the ∇ key
will advance the cursor 1 line down the display.
Line reverse (delta, ∆) — Similar to the SH and then LR keys on the RDP-300. Pushing the ∆ key will cause
the cursor to move 1 line up the display.
Joystick up — Similar to the SH and the PR keys on the RDP-300. Causes the MFD-85A to go back to the
previous page. The cursor will be at the lower right-hand corner.
Joystick down — Similar to the SH and the PF keys on the RDP-300. Causes the MFD-85A to go forward to
the next page. The cursor will be at the upper left-hand corner.
Joystick right — Causes the MFD-85A to search forward and display the next chapter title page (be it a PGE
chapter title page or an EMG chapter title page). The cursor will be in the upper left-hand corner of the
display.
Joystick left — Causes the MFD-85A to search backwards and display the previous chapter title page. The
cursor will be in the upper left-hand corner of the display.
Top line select key — If the cursor is positioned at the upper left corner of the display, pushing this key
makes the page shown a chapter title page. If in PGE edit mode, it will be a PGE chapter title page. If in
EMG edit mode, it will be an EMG chapter title page.
Note
The following procedures assume that the MFD-85A is new and this is the first time it has been
programmed. Procedures for changing an already programmed MFD-85A follow this section.
a. Turn on airplane power. Ensure that the MFD-85A circuit breakers are in. Press the PWR button at the
upper left of the MFD-85A. Position the WXP-85( ) MODE switch to OFF (the WXP-85( ) is not required
during programming of the MFD-85A). Allow 15 seconds for the MFD-85A to warm up. Adjust the INT
control at the upper right of the MFD-85A as desired.
b. Press the PGE button on the MFD-85A. The display will show:
NO PAGE
CHAPTERS FOUND. PLUG
IN RDP-300 TO EDIT.
c. Plug the RDP-300 Remote Data Programmer into the MFD-85A DATA jack. Note that the first line of
page 1 is displayed adjacent to the top line select key. The characters on this first line should be: a red
cursor in the upper left, followed by yellow dots with PAGE 1 in the upper right.
d. If steps a through c were followed, the top line on the MFD-85A should look like the following
illustration:
The cursor (red at (@) symbol) should be in the upper left corner. If not, push the SH (shift) key then the
PR (page reverse) key on the RDP-300 until the cursor is displayed in the lower right corner of the
display. Note the current page number and press SH then PF (page forward) until the cursor is at the
upper left corner of page 1. After pressing the SH key, the PF or PR key can be held down for repeated
function.
e. Assume the first PGE chapter title is to be called PREFLIGHT. (You MUST have a chapter title at the
top of the first page to be used even if the title is PAGE 1 as shown after performing following steps 1
and 2.) To enter PREFLIGHT as a chapter title, perform the following:
Note
Whatever is on the top line of the title page (in this example it will be PREFLIGHT) is what gets
shown beside the line select keys when chapter titles are called up.
1. Press the RDP-300 BLK (blank) key once, then press the BS (back space) key once. The cursor will
be back in the upper left corner but the dot (period) that was in the upper left has now been erased.
2. Press the top line select key at the right side of the MFD-85A. Note that the cursor moves one
character position to the right and that the space to the left of the cursor is blank. This page is now
designated as a PGE chapter title page. The top line of the display should now look like the following
illustration.
3. The following illustration is a repeat of the illustration in step 2 except the example chapter title
(PREFLIGHT) is now shown justified to the far right-hand side of the display.
The purpose of the above illustration is to show what now must be done in order to enter
PREFLIGHT as a chapter title. Note that PREFLIGHT has nine letters and will fully occupy the
area now taken up by PAGE 1 and the associated spaces. The only thing that must be done is to
erase the yellow dots in spaces 2 (there is a dot beneath the cursor) through 11 of the first line and
move the cursor to position 12. This is done by pressing the RDP-300 BLK key ten times and then
pressing the SP (space) key once. The top line should now look like the following illustration.
4. Complete the chapter title entry procedure by using the RDP-300 keyboard to key in the word
PREFLIGHT. The letters will write over the data (PAGE 1) currently occupying spaces 13 through
20 and the cursor will automatically advance to the first space in line 2. The display should now look
like the following illustration.
5. Continue using the RDP-300 to type in the desired PREFLIGHT checklist beginning on line 2 of the
chapter title page (the chapter title page should be used as part of the checklist). Use as many pages
as is needed to complete the PREFLIGHT checklist. It should be noted that all 12 lines can be used
for checklist data on nontitle pages.
Note
A blank (BLK) is considered a character. The space (SP) key is not considered a character and should
be used instead of blanks to separate words, symbols, numbers, etc. A BLK should only be used to
erase a character as was done in step 1.
f. It is suggested that a couple of unprogrammed pages be left at the end of each chapter. This allows for
expansion at a later date. To do this, push the joystick down twice or use the SH and PF keys on the
RDP-300.
g. Repeat steps e and f to create a new PGE chapter title. Continue repeating steps e and f until all PGE
chapters have been programmed.
h. To program EMG chapters, press the EMG button on the MFD-85A. The display should show the
PREFLIGHT checklist title page that was previously programmed into MFD-85A as a PGE chapter title
page. Use the joystick down or the RDP-300 SH and PF keys to find a page where you want to put the
first EMG title page. Remember to skip all of the pages previously programmed during the PGE
checklist programming procedure. Then repeat steps e through g above for the EMG chapter checklists.
i. This completes the programming of new checklists procedure. Disconnect the RDP-300 from the MFD-
85A. Verify that data just programmed is accessible and correct by first pressing the PGE or EMG
button on the MFD, then press the appropriate line select key to display the first page of the selected
chapter. Use the joystick as described in paragraph 3.15.1 to view the various pages and/or select new
chapter title pages.
Note
The information programmed into the MFD-85A will not be erased by power removal.
Note
The following procedures assume that the MFD-85A has already been programmed and it is desired
to change some of the text.
a. Turn on airplane power. Ensure that the MFD-85A circuit breakers are in. Press the PWR button at the
upper left of the MFD-85A. Position the WXP-85( ) MODE switch to OFF (the WXP-85( ) is not required
during programming of the MFD-85A). Allow 15 seconds for the MFD-85A to warm up. Adjust the INT
control at the upper right of the MFD-85A as desired.
b. Press the PGE or EMG button (depending on what is to be changed) on the MFD-85A.
c. When PGE or EMG is selected, up to four chapter titles will appear next to the line select keys on the
right side of the MFD-85A. If data in one of these four chapters is to be changed, pressing the
appropriate line select key causes the first page of the selected chapter to be displayed. If other chapter
titles are required, movement of the joystick upward will cause the next set of up to four chapter titles to
be displayed. Movement of the joystick downward will cause the previous four chapter titles to be
displayed.
d. When the desired chapter is found and the first page has been called up, plug the RDP-300 Remote Data
Programmer into the MFD-85A DATA jack and make the necessary changes. If you don’t know the title
name and/or nothing is displayed on the MFD-85A, push the top line select key, plug in the RDP-300,
and make the necessary changes. If all of the 100 available pages have not been used, new PGE or EMG
chapters can be created by searching for a group of unprogrammed pages and then making a title page
and entering checklist data as required.
e. When the desired data has been entered, disconnect the RDP-300 from the MFD-85A. Verify that data
just programmed is accessible and correct by first pressing the PGE or EMG button on the MFD, then
press the appropriate line select key to display the first page of the selected chapter. Use the joystick as
described in paragraph 3.15.1 to view the various pages and/or select new chapter title pages.
Note
The information programmed into the MFD-85A will not be erased by power removal. Anything
programmed during an earlier procedure will remain until reprogrammed.
The handheld CEU-85 is used to enter 100 pages of combined checklist page and emergency page data into
the MFD instead of entering it manually using the RDP-300. The CEU-85 is shown below in Figure 3-38.
The CEU-85 normally is used before preflight, rarely during flight. The checklist is loaded into the CEU-85
from an Apple* II Plus/IIe/IIe enhanced computer that contains a Collins Pro Line II Interface Card and
checklist processing disk software. Once loaded, the CEU-85 is carried to the aircraft and plugged into the
MFD-85( ) DATA jack.
Caution
To prevent loss of data, it is essential that the CEU-85 is connected to or disconnected from the
MFD-85( ) only while power is applied to the system.
The process of transferring a checklist into the MFD-85( ) is initiated by inserting the CEU-85 data plug into
the MFD-85( ) front panel DATA jack. This connection causes application of +5 V dc to the CEU-85 from the
MFD-85( ) which enables the CEU-85 microcomputer to transfer checklist data to the MFD-85( ).
Note
The MFD-85( ) top select, bottom select, and line reverse keys must be pressed simultaneously after
inserting the CEU-85 data plug into the MFD-85( ) DATA jack. If this is not done, the MFD-85( ) will
not be able to receive data from the CEU-85.
The checklist data transfer begins 15 seconds after the CEU-85 receives power from the MFD-85( ) and
operates without interaction. Normal checklist transfer time is approximately 11 minutes; then the radar
mode screen reappears after data transfer is completed.
Note
Those who choose to use the MFD-85( ) for checklist purposes must consider it an aid only and
realize that it contains only the data that someone has programmed into it. The airplane flight
manual contains the approved checklists.
The ADA-85 Air Data Adapter is used with an ADC-80( ) Air Data Computer to provide air data in
commercial standard digital bus (CSDB) serial data format to the EFIS system and other equipments. The
data received from the ADC-80( ) is in Manchester-coded serial data format and is converted into CSDB
format air data. The ADA-85 is shown in Figure 3-39.
The FMM-85 Fan Monitor Module mounts directly onto any one of the four fan frame sides and is used to
monitor fan motor speed. If fan motor speed falls below a preset level, the FMM-85 will sense this change
and provide a ground to energize an installer furnished, instrument panel mounted, LOW FAN SPEED
annunciator. The FMM-85 is shown in Figure 3-40.

4.1 GENERAL
This section provides the information required to understand the operation of the EFIS units.
The DPU-85H is the drive box for the EFD-85; the DPU-86H for the EFD-86( ). Each DPU contains the I/O
section, memory, display processor, symbol generator, sky/ground raster generator, WX raster generator,
multiplexers, and power supply. The processor is a 12-bit TTL machine designed specifically for fast real-
time processing for crt applications. The DPU is capable of driving two EFD’s with different displays. Each
of these outputs has positive switching on the video to provide a data path for the backup drive signal in the
event of a failure. The DPU also provides an isolated backup drive output which allows each DPU to drive
four crt’s with identical EADI and EHSI displays.
The DPU’s I/O section can interface with a designated set of sensors including VOR, glideslope, localizer,
long-range navigation, heading, attitude, air data, ADF, and flight director/autopilot without external
switching. Some external switching may be required by other functions in the aircraft for these sensors.
These interfaces are described in more detail in paragraph 4.4. Each DPU also provides comparator/warning
outputs and display capability for attitude, heading, localizer, glideslope, and radio altitude. For this func-
tion, I/O data from an MPU or another DPU is required.
Each EFD contains a crt, deflection yoke, video and deflection amplifiers and high-voltage power supply. The
crt is a Collins specified custom high-resolution color tube. The tube has an in-line gun with shadow mask,
using a black matrix surrounding pigmented phosphor dot trios, providing high resolution and contrast ra-
tio. A custom design multibandpass optical filter is used to provide enhanced contrast. Both stroke and
raster scanning techniques are multiplexed to provide large area color background and sharp alphanumerics
and symbols with greater than normal illumination. Two units stacked use the same panel space as the FIS-
85 electromechanical units. Air behind the cockpit panel must be circulated to ensure optimal performance.
Recommendations regarding this installation are detailed in the installation section of this instruction book.
All EFD’s are identical internally and may be used for either the EADI or EHSI function. An inclinometer
may be mounted to either EFD to provide that function.
The MPU contains all the functions of a DPU (refer to previous DPU-85H/86H description) plus isolated in-
puts for a second set of sensors. The MPU not only provides the drive for the MFD but can provide the drive
to an EADI and EHSI in the event either DPU fails. This allows the MPU to completely replace one DPU
without any loss in I/O capability but with some reduction in EHSI display function. This unit can also provide
the drive for all four EFD’s in a 5-crt configuration in the unlikely event that both DPU’s fail. For 3- and
5-crt configurations it also provides the data to the DPU to allow the selection and display of cross-side data.
The MFD contains the crt, the deflection yoke, the video and deflection amplifiers and the high-voltage
power supply. The crt is a Collins specified custom high-resolution color tube. The crt has an in-line gun with
shadow mask using a black matrix surrounding pigmented phosphor dot trios providing high contrast along
with high resolution. A custom design multibandpass optical filter is used to provide enhanced contrast.
Both stroke and raster scanning techniques are used to provide large area color background for weather and
distinct alphanumerics and symbols with high brightness. Mode select and display control functions are lo-
cated on the display bezel. The memory and associated logic for up to 100 pages of checklist data are also
contained in the MFD.
There are several control panels which may be associated with an EFIS system. They are the DCP-85E,
CHP-85D, CHP-86B, DSP-85A, and WXP-85A/85B/85C/85D.
The CHP-85D and CHP-86B provide course and heading select functions for various configurations of EFIS-
85B(13) and EFIS-86B(13) systems. The CHP-86B panel can be used with any configuration (two required
for 4- and 5-crt systems). The CHP-85D provides separate course selection capability for each half of a 4- or
5-crt configuration with a common heading select function. The panels also provide a NAV DTA button for
selection of time-to-go (TTG), ground speed (SPD), wind, and elapsed time (ET) as well as an ET button for
initiating and completing time functions. CHP-85D provides dual independent TTG-SPD-ET-WIND capabil-
ity. The CHP-85D and CHP-86B interface with the DCP-85E only.
The DCP-85E provides EHSI display sensor selection control, EHSI display format control, EADI and EHSI
display dimming, and EADI radio altitude decision height set capability. Inclusion of this panel in the sys-
tem provides the basics for display modes switching capability built into the EFIS system. One DCP-85E is
required for 2- and 3-crt systems; two DCP-85E’s are required for 4- and 5-crt systems.
The DSP-85A provides navigation sensor selection, bearing pointer selection, format selection, navigation
data selection, and the selection of VNAV, weather or cross-side course on the EHSI. DH set and selection of
VNAV display on the EADI are provided. Additional course, heading, direct to, and heading sync are se-
lected from the DSP-85A. One DSP-85A is required for 2-and 3-crt systems; two DSP-85A’s are required for
4- and 5-crt systems. The ET control function must be provided from an external switch.
The weather control panel provides the weather data outputs required to display weather on either the
EHSI or MFD. This panel provides all the necessary control functions as well as outputs to trigger the
weather radar rt and antenna. The WXP-85( ) interfaces with and is a part of elements of Collins weather
radar systems only. This control is available in standard panel (WXP-85A/85C) or Dzus mount
(WXP-85B/85D) compatible configurations.

4.2.6 Inclinometer
The inclinometer is a separate element which is mounted to the proper EFD. Refer to the General Informa-
tion section, Table 1-1, for a list of available inclinometers.
The RDP-300 is a handheld keyboard that plugs into a port on the front face of the MFD-85( ) Multifunction
Display where it receives power and is used to enter or change checklist page and emergency data in the
MFD. The RDP-300 is normally used before and during preflight, rarely during flight. The unit should be
stored (not mounted) in a location accessible to the flight crew.
The handheld CEU-85 is used to enter 100 pages of combined checklist page and emergency page data into
the MFD instead of entering it manually using the RDP-300. The CEU-85 plugs into a port on the front face
of the MFD-85( ) Multifunction Display where it receives power and is normally used before preflight, rarely
during flight. The checklist is loaded into the CEU-85 from an Apple* II Plus/IIe/IIe enhanced computer that
contains a Collins Pro Line II interface card and checklist processing disk software.
The fan monitor module mounts directly onto any one of the four fan frame sides and is used to monitor fan
motor speed. If fan motor speed falls below a preset level, the FMM-85 will sense this change and provide a
ground to energize an installer-furnished, instrument panel mount, LOW FAN SPEED annunciator.
The air data adapter is used with an ADC-80( ) Air Data Computer to provide air data in Commercial Stan-
dard Digital Bus (CSDB) serial data format to other user equipments. The data received from the ADC-80( )
is in Manchester coded serial data format and is converted into CSDB format air data.
a. Keep-Alive Monitor — Circuits are included with each of the system processors to monitor a periodic
signal generated by the processor. If the signal is not generated, the circuit will cause a flag condition
and attempt to restart the processor.
b. Test Words — A series of test words is transmitted between EFIS subsystem components to verify integ-
rity of the data paths. Detection of a bad data transmission will cause a flag condition.
c. Activity Monitors — The digital buses being received by the I/O sections are monitored for activity. If no
activity is detected for the appropriate period for that bus, a no data condition or a flag is set depending
on the bus.
d. Synchro Monitor — All synchros are monitored for valid voltage levels. If an invalid condition is de-
tected, the appropriate flag is set.
e. Checksum Monitor — The I/O and display processors periodically verify their program checksums. If an
incorrect checksum is calculated, the test words as described above are not generated resulting in a
DPU/MPU fail condition.
f. Ram Monitor — During each power-up sequence, the I/O and display processors test their private RAM
storage and generate test words. If the test words are not generated, a DPU/MPU fail condition results.
g. Multiport RAM Test — During each power-up sequence, the digital I/O #1 processor tests the multiport
RAM. Different sequences of data are written to the RAM and read to verify its integrity. A failure of any
bit will cause the processor to reset and perform the test again. At the conclusion of a successful test, the
RAM is cleared to all zeroes.
In addition to the on-line monitors, it is possible to place the EFIS system in a self-test mode by the use of an
airframe-supplied test switch or test switches. When the test mode has been activated, the button and knobs
on the DCP select various submodes. Test functions available include:
a. Confidence Test
When the DPU test is grounded, an increment of +10 degrees is added to pitch and roll on the left side
and –10 degrees is added to pitch and roll on the right side. A +20 degree increment is added to heading
on the left side and a –20 degree increment is added to the heading on the right side. The word TEST in
red characters is written across the EADI above the aircraft symbol while the test is in process. The ad-
dition of the 10- and 20-degree increments is done in the DPU I/O section and will cause the comparator
logic in the display processor to give roll, pitch, and heading miscompare messages.
If the DPU test line is held at ground for longer than 4 seconds, the 10-degree increments are removed
and all EADI and EHSI flags will be brought into view. This flag condition will remain until either the
ground is removed from the test line, or the RA TST button on the DCP is pressed to enter a sequence of
diagnostic/maintenance routines (DMRS).
If the RA TST button is not depressed and the ground is removed from the test line, the test sequence is
aborted and normal operation is resumed.
b. Diagnostics/Maintenance Routines (DMRS)
To enter the diagnostic/maintenance routines for each DPU, push and hold the installer-supplied EFIS
TEST button and then push the DSP TST/DCP RA TST button on the onside control. Once the first di-
agnostic page shows on the display, the EFIS TEST button may be released. Each successive push of the
TST/RA TST button, on the onside control, changes the display to the next available diagnostic page.
Push the onside TST/RA TST button on the last page of the diagnostic pages to exit the diagnostic mode
and change the display back to a normal EADI/EHSI display. To exit the diagnostic pages from any
page, at any time, push and hold the TST/RA TST button for approximately 2 seconds. The display
changes directly to a normal EADI/EHSI.
To enter the diagnostic/maintenance routines for the MPU in a 5-tube system, push and hold the EFIS
TEST button on the pilot’s side and then push the DSP TST/DCP RA TST button on the control for the
copilot’s side. Each successive push of the TST/RA TST button on the copilot’s control changes the dis-
play to the next available diagnostic page. Push the copilot’s TST/RA TST button on the last page of the
diagnostic pages to exit the diagnostic mode and change the display back to a normal MFD display. To
exit the diagnostic pages from any page, at any time, push and hold the copilot’s TST/RA TST button for
approximately 2 seconds. The display changes directly to a normal MFD.
The diagnostic display pages give the following information:
1. Multiport RAM — presents the data being received from and transmitted to aircraft systems. Data is
in digital form and will aid in new installation checkouts as well as LRU fault isolation.
The DPU generates the necessary deflection and video signals to draw the desired display on the electronic
flight displays (EFDs). The DPU contains an I/O interface to an aircraft system, a display processor, a sym-
bol generator to provide stroke-writing, an ADI/sky raster generator and multiplexer circuit, and power sup-
plies. Refer to Figure 4-9.
Analog I/O card A7 and digital I/O card A8 comprise the I/O interface section of the DPU. These cards re-
ceive analog and digital data from aircraft systems and other EFIS units, format the data, and provide that
data to the display processor. In addition to collecting data for display, the I/O section also calculates new
data based upon previously received data and outputs this information in an appropriate form to other
equipments. There are also a number of digital EFIS communication channels which are supervised by the
DPU I/O system.
a. Inputs
The I/O section is capable of receiving data from several different aircraft sources. In addition, there are
several intra-EFIS data sources which must be accommodated. Altogether, four general data formats are
received, digitized, filtered, and formatted by the I/O section as follows:

• WXP data
b. Outputs
Along with receiving data, the DPU also provides several outputs to other EFIS units and to other air-
craft systems. The I/O section provides these outputs in various formats. These formats and data are
listed as follows:
1. AC Analog

c. Functional Blocks
The I/O section is divided into four functional blocks. These consist of a 2048-×-16-bit multiport RAM
(MPRAM), a digital high-speed serial digital transmitter/receiver to transmit DPU cross-side data and to
receive DPU/MPU cross-side data, an array of microprocessor based I/O processors (IOP’s) and high-
speed input and output ports . These combine with the MPRAM to provide high-speed multiaccessing
features.
1. Multiport RAM (MPRAM)
At the center of the DPU I/O section is a 2048−×−16-bit high-speed RAM and multiaccess controller.
This RAM and controller are referred to as the multiport RAM or MPRAM.
The 2048-×-16-bit RAM is comprised of two 2048 × 8-bit RAM’s. When data is transferred from the
port to the RAM, the ISR signal is low. The controller reads an 11-bit address and 16-bit data from
the input port and performs a write sequence to the RAM. When data is transferred to the port from
the RAM, the OSR is low. In this case, the controller reads the 11-bit address from the port, reads
data from the RAM, and latches the 16-bit data in the output port. In either case, after the operation
is complete, the polling pulse is removed from the port, which in turn resets the service request sig-
nal and the polling sequence continues. All transfers between the MPRAM and the ports take place
on a 27-bit bus with 11 address bits and 16 data bits.
The MPRAM controller can support up to eleven ports. If fewer than eleven are actually used, the
controller can be strapped to ignore the unused port positions and there will be no loss of polling effi-
ciency due to empty port slots.
2. MPRAM I/O Ports
Interfacing the MPRAM to the other blocks of the I/O section is accomplished through a set of I/O
ports. There are two input/output ports and one input port. From this point on, all references to
MPRAM I/O ports will be made with respect to the MPRAM. That is, an input port is used to trans-
fer data to the MPRAM while an output port is used to transfer data from the MPRAM.
Coordination of the data transfers to and from the MPRAM is controlled by a simple polling se-
quence. This polling sequence views each I/O port at two ports, one for input and one for output;
thus, where two I/O ports and one input port are shown, the controller actually treats these as five
separate ports.
There are two types of I/O ports. The I/O port connected to the display processor and the multiplexed
I/O port is connected to the I/O processors. From the point of view of the MPRAM, these two I/O
ports are identical; in actual operation they differ, since each interfaces to different processor bus
schemes.
The 12-bit display processor interfaces to the 11-bit address and 16-bit data bus used by the I/O port
and the MPRAM. To read data from RAM, the display processor performs a read from external
memory sequence. Decoding of the processor control signals provides a signal to the MPRAM output
port that causes the processor to hang up and signals the MPRAM of a pending output request.
When the port is polled, the 12-bit address present at the processor’s address bus passes through the
port’s buffers and accesses data in the MPRAM. This data is then latched at the output port and the
display processor is released. The read cycle is now completed by the processor.
To write data to the MPRAM, the display processor performs a write to external memory sequence.
Processor control line decoding provides a signal to the MPRAM, this time to the input port. The
processor is signaled to hang up and the MPRAM is notified of the pending input transfer. When the
port is polled, the processor’s 11-bit address is passed to the MPRAM along with 12 bits of data. The
MPRAM controller performs the required RAM write sequence and then releases the processor, com-
pleting the transfer. Due to a decoding ambiguity at the display processor, a superfluous output re-
quest is also generated but the data is ignored by the display processor.
In the cross-side data receiver and its input port, serial data is received by a series of shift registers
in a form directly compatible with the input port. When a valid word is received, a data strobe is
generated which transfers the address and data fields to the input port latches. The same signal no-
tifies the MPRAM port of a pending input data transfer. When the MPRAM polls the port, the RAM
“unite” sequence is performed, which transfers the data from the port to the RAM.
There is also an I/O port which interfaces the I/O processors to the MPRAM. Again, this input/output
port pair appears to be two separate ports, one for input and one for output, as viewed by the
MPRAM. This I/O port provides for bidirectional data flow between the MPRAM and the I/O proces-
sors. This multiplexed I/O port is actually a polling controller very similar in operation to the
MPRAM controller described previously.
The polling logic issues an active low MUX SERVICE QUERY (MSQ) polling pulse to each IOP in
turn. If a data transfer is to take place, the IOP will place a low level on the active low MUX SERV-
ICE REQUEST (MSR) line. During the time that the MSQ line to that IOP is low, the multiplexed
I/O port polling logic recognizes the IOP’s request, and control of the multiplexed I/O port latches
and 11-bit data bus is given to the IOP. By using these control signals in the proper sequence, the
IOP can quickly perform data transfers to and from the MPRAM.
When the appropriate data transfer is complete, the IOP removes the multiplexed service request
signal and the service query polling sequence continues.
3. I/O Processors
The I/O processors, or IOP’s, are the main data collectors for the I/O section. They provide primarily
for the acquisition of data in a variety of forms from the A/C systems and other EFD units. This data
is digitized, filtered, formatted and written into the MPRAM to be used by the display processor. In
addition to inputting data, new information must be calculated based upon previously input data.
These mathematical calculations are also performed by the IOP’s. Along with inputting information
and performing calculations, some data must be generated and then output to other A/C units such
as the autopilot system. The output data may be required in a number of forms ranging from serial
digital to ac analog. Supervision of this function is part of the IOP’s responsibility.
Since many I/O operations are to be performed every second with data being handled in many forms,
the data is partitioned by data type and assigned an individual microprocessor to handle each data
partition. The result is a series of IOP’s all working in parallel to provide data to the MPRAM. Two
things should be noted. First, since there is a series of slower parallel IOP’s rather than a signal
high-speed IOP, the data gathering process is less susceptible to a single processor failure. For ex-
ample, if a single IOP were to fail, only the data partition associated with that IOP would be lost and
at least partial data flow to and from the MPRAM would continue. Second, since all the IOP’s and
the display processor can communicate with the same MPRAM, there exists a channel of bidirec-
tional communication between each of the IOP’s and any other IOP, as well as with the display proc-
essor.
The following three data format partitions are used by the I/O section with a single IOP for each par-
tition:
(a) AC Analog/DC Analog/DC Discrete
• Synchro/Digital
• Resolver/Digital
• Digital/Synchro
• Analog/Digital
• Digital/Analog
• Modes
• Flags
• Straps
(b) Serial Digital
• UART Based
• Low-Speed Pro-Line II
• ARINC 6-Wire
(c) Cross-Side Data Receiver
Another source of input data to the MPRAM is provided by a high-speed, synchronous, serial
digital receiver. The information received here originates in the other DPU or the MPU and is
transmitted to the DPU on a single 6-wire serial bus. The information on this bus consists of
cross-side data which is received in its natural form by the MPU IOP’s and is then passed to the
DPU in serial digital form. This data is referred to as cross-side data because it originates at the
A/C sensors on the opposite side of the A/C from the side of the DPU which receives the serial
data.
The serial digital data is received as a string of 24-bit words, each separated by a 24-bit time
gap. Each 24-bit word is made up of 1 start bit, and 16 data bits.
This data is provided to the DPU primarily for use in data comparison and monitoring, and to
provide display data to the DPU when the DCP-85( ) is in CONTROL TRANSFER mode.
This high-speed receiver and its MPRAM interface run totally without intervention on the part
of the display processor or any of the I/O processors.
Display processor card A4 receives input data from the aircraft system from the I/O cards through the
MPRAM. It controls the operation of the symbol generator and ADI/MUX cards in the DPU. The processor is
a discrete 12-bit TTL machine. It is designed to be a fast real-time processor for crt display applications.
Instructions are first loaded from a program ROM into the instruction register which addresses a control
ROM. The control ROM in turn generates the necessary control signals to sequence the processor through
the execution of the instruction. Logical and arithmetic operations are performed on A and B registers by an
ALU. Shift and rotates are done by a shift register. The multiplexers perform two functions. They can select
either the program counter output (PC bus) or the shift register output (S bus) to be loaded into an A or B
register, or they can output data on the I/O bus (A bus) for use by peripheral devices.
The PC bus can directly access 20K of program ROM. The S bus is used to address a sine lookup table and
scratch-pad RAM.
Output of data to peripherals is accomplished by putting the data on the A bus and strobing the desired out-
put line from the I/O decoder. This enables the peripherals onto the A bus and the data is loaded into an A or
B register. Status flags can also be read directly into the processor from the status multiplexer. In the case of
input, output, and status lines, all device decoding is done within the processor.
A reset control circuit provides a power-on reset as well as an automatic processor reset, which resets the
processor if improper operation is detected.
Symbol generator card A5 creates the signals required to draw characters and lines on the EFD’s. The sym-
bol generator contains a character generator to draw letters and symbols, a vector generator to draw lines, a
coordinate converter to rotate characters and lines and a video circuit to turn the crt beam on and off.
a. Character Generator
The character generator provides X and Y deflection and video outputs to draw alphanumeric characters
and other symbols on the EFD displays. The character generator draws characters a stroke at a time,
much like one would draw on paper (as opposed to a raster format). The character generator can draw
variable sized and italic alphanumeric characters, and can string letters together for printing words and
labels.
The display processor card controls the character generator by loading data from its F bus into the char-
acter generator stroke counter. This sets the starting address of the data in the character ROM. Each lo-
cation in the ROM provides 1 video bit, 4 bits indicating the direction of each stroke, and 3 bits defining
the length of the stroke. The X-Y counter controller provides the necessary clock pulses to increment or
decrement the X and Y position counters to form the characters. Each time a new piece of data is output
from the character ROM (corresponding to a new character stroke) the stroke length is loaded into the
stroke length counter. As the stroke is drawn, the stroke length counter increments until the end-of-
stroke decoder detects that the present stroke is done. It then outputs an end-of-stroke signal (EOS)
which increments the stroke counter to address the next location in ROM, and the new stroke data is
loaded into the stroke length counter. The end of the character is detected by a dummy stroke of length
zero. This stops the operation of the character generator. Depending on which character load input was
used to draw the character, the position counter will either reset to the starting position or hold the pre-
sent state to allow stringing several characters together.
X and Y outputs are formed by d/a converters that produce analog voltages corresponding to the outputs
of the X and Y position counters. The character generator also outputs a character generator busy signal
(CGB) which tells the display processor when the character generator is active. Character sizes are var-
ied by changing the voltage reference to the d/a converter.
b. Vector Generator
The vector generator serves two purposes; first, it positions the deflection so that characters can be
drawn anywhere on the screen; second, it controls the video so that it can draw solid or dashed lines as it
moves along. When a new X or Y position is loaded into the vector generator from the display processor,
the comparator compares the new position with the present position. Depending on whether the new po-
sition is greater or less than the old position, the position counter counts up or down at a fixed rate until
the present position equals the new position. At this point, the vector is complete and the vector genera-
tor stops. The digital output from the X and Y position counters are converted to an analog voltage at the
output. The vector generator sends a busy signal to the processor to indicate when it is vectoring. Solid
or dashed lines can also be selected by software.
c. Coordinate Converter
To be able to draw characters and symbols on the crt, the output of the character and vector generators
could be added together and sent directly to the displays. In the EFIS, however, there is also a need for
rotating lines and symbols about an origin, such as in the case of the tick marks on the compass rose.
The coordinate converter performs this function.
Given an initial coordinate (X,Y) the position of this point after rotation through an angle θ is:
X’=Xcosθ – Ysinθ + X org
Y’=Ycosθ + Xsinθ + Y org
b. Multiplexer
The multiplexer, part of ADI/MUX card A6, allows the DPU to drive two EFD’s with different deflection
and video signals. The DPU can put an ADI on one display while drawing an HSI on another. This is
done by switching the symbol generator, sky raster, and WXR raster signals to the proper display at the
proper time with the multiplexer circuit.
An ADI deflection multiplexer switches between symbol generator and sky raster signals. The HSI mul-
tiplexer switches between symbol generator, WXR, and sky raster (sky raster is needed to produce a
composite display on the EFD unit normally having an HSI). The video multiplexer performs a similar
function with the digital video signals.
A multiplexer controller selects the proper multiplexer inputs depending on the selected display modes,
the state of the symbol generator, and whether or not the weather and sky rasters are busy. Deflection
and video signal drivers are used on the multiplexer outputs to provide a low-impedance source for
driving the EFD’s.
There are three power supplies in the DPU: one on power supply card A3 and two on power supply card A9.
Power supply card A9 supplies power to the EFD displays.
b. On-Line Monitoring
On-line monitoring of the EFIS system is accomplished in the following ways:
1. Keep-Alive Monitor — Circuits are included with each of the system processors to monitor a periodic
signal generated by the processor. If the signal is not generated, the circuit will cause a flag condi-
tion and attempt to restart the processor.
2. Test Words — A series of test words is transmitted between EFIS subsystem components to verify
integrity of the data paths. Detection of a bad data transmission will cause a flag condition.
3. Activity Monitors — The digital buses being received by the I/O sections are monitored for activity. If
no activity is detected for the appropriate period for that bus, a no data condition or a flag is set de-
pending on the bus.
4. Synchro Monitor — All synchros are monitored for valid voltage levels. If an invalid condition is de-
tected, the appropriate flag is set.
5. Checksum Monitor — The I/O and display processors periodically verify their program checksums. If
an incorrect checksum is calculated, the test words as described above are not generated, resulting in
a DPU/MPU fail condition.
6. Ram Monitor — During each power-up sequence, the I/O and display processors test their private
RAM storage and generate test words. If the test words are not generated, a DPU/MPU fail condition
results.
7. Multiport RAM Test — During each power-up sequence, the digital I/O #1 processor tests the mul-
tiport RAM. Different sequences of data are written to the RAM and read to verify its integrity. A
failure of any bit will cause the processor to reset and perform the test again. At the conclusion of a
successful test, the RAM is cleared to all zeroes.
c. Self-Test Mode
In addition to the on-line monitors, it is possible to place the EFIS system in a self-test mode by the use
of an airframe supplied test switch or test switches. When the test mode has been activated, the button
and knobs on the DCP select various submodes. Test functions available include:
1. Confidence Test
When the DPU test is grounded, an increment of +10 degrees is added to pitch and roll on the left
side and –10 degrees is added to pitch and roll on the right side. A +20 degree increment is added to
heading on the left side and a –20 degree increment is added to the heading on the right side. The
word TEST in red characters is written across the EADI above the aircraft sysmbol while the test is
in process. The addition of the 10- and 20-degree increments is done in the DPU I/O section and will
cause the comparator logic in the display processor to give roll, pitch, and heading comparator mes-
sages.
If the DPU test line is held at ground for longer than 4 seconds, the 10-degree increments are re-
moved and all EADI and EHSI flags will be brought into view. This flag condition will remain until
either the ground is removed from the test line, or the RA TST button on the DCP is pressed to enter
a sequence of diagnostic/maintenance routines (DMRS). If the RA TST button is not depressed and
the ground is removed from the test line, the test sequence is aborted and normal operation is re-
sumed.
2. Diagnostics/Maintenance Routines (DMRS)
To enter the diagnostic/maintenance routines for each DPU, push and hold the installer-supplied
EFIS TEST button and then push the DSP TST/DCP RA TST button on the onside control. Once the
first diagnostic page shows on the display, the EFIS TEST button may be released. Each successive
push of the TST/RA TST button, on the onside control, changes the display to the next available di-
agnostic page. Push the onside TST/RA TST button on the last page of the diagnostic pages to exit
the diagnostic mode and change the display back to a normal EADI/EHSI display. To exit the diag-
nostic pages from any page, at any time, push and hold the TST/RA TST button for approximately 2
seconds. The display changes directly to a normal EADI/EHSI.
The crt is an in-line gun, shadow mask type which uses a black matrix surrounding pigmented phosphors to
achieve maximum contrast ratio.
The multibandpass optical filter, which is not bonded to the crt face, is matched to the phosphors in the tube
to achieve a high control ratio and improve sunlight readability.
Horizontal and vertical deflection amplifiers provide the drive currents to the deflection yoke windings to
magnetically position the electron beam on the active phosphor area. The deflection yoke is designed to be
self-converging so that no additional deflection signal processing is required to correct for misconvergence.
Beam positioning on the screen is done in either of two techniques: stroke (or random positioning) and raster
scanning. Raster scanning is used for illuminating large portions of the screen such as that required for
weather radar and sky background. Stroke writing is used to produce sharp straight lines, alphanumerics
and symbols.
No in-house adjustments of the crt assembly are necessary because the unit arrives fully converged and ad-
justed for maximum purity.
The horizontal and vertical deflection amplifiers are identical circuits designed entirely with discrete com-
ponents.
There are three separate video amplifiers in each EFD. These amplifiers are used to turn the electron beams
on and off at speeds up to 2 MHz by outputting either of two discrete voltage levels. The voltage levels that
turn the video guns on and off are dependent on the voltage applied to grid 2. In our particular case, grid 2 is
biased at 400 V dc giving us video on (Von) R 60 V dc and video off (Voff) S 150 V dc. The intensities of each
beam can be adjusted separately by lowering Von.
It is necessary to protect the crt phosphor from being damaged due to either deflection or video amplifier
failure. This is done by continuously monitoring the deflection yoke return lines and video power supply line.
If a failure is detected in these lines, the phosphor protection monitor will signal the high-voltage supply to
shut down.
The HVPS provides three output voltages: 15 kV for the anode, +2.5 to +4.5 kV dc for focus, and +400 V dc
for grid 2. The anode and focus voltage regulators are independent of each other in order to ensure output
regulation. The oscillator section of the HVPS is contained in the anode section. This oscillator is also used to
drive the focus transformer primary. Having the anode and focus oscillations synchronized reduces emi.
The MPU generates the necessary deflection and video signals to draw the desired display on the multifunc-
tion display unit (MFD). The MPU contains an aircraft system I/O interface for two sets of sensors, a display
processor, a symbol generator to provide stroke-writing, an ADI/sky raster generator and multiplexer circuit,
and power supplies. Refer to Figure 4-11.
Analog I/O cards A7 and A9 and digital I/O cards A8 and A10 comprise the I/O interface section of the MPU.
These cards receive analog and digital data from aircraft systems and other EFIS units, format the data,
and provide that data to the display processor. In addition to collecting data for display, the I/O section also
calculates new data based upon previously received data and outputs this information in an appropriate
form to other equipments. There are also a number of digital EFIS communication channels which are su-
pervised by the MPU I/O system.
a. Inputs
The I/O section is capable of receiving data from several different aircraft sources. In addition, there are
several intra-EFIS data sources which must be accommodated. Altogether, four general data formats are
received, digitized, filtered, and formatted by the I/O section as follows:
b. Outputs
1. AC Analog Inputs
• Desired track or track angle error + drift angle
• Roll angle
• Pitch angle
• Heading
• ADF bearing
• WPT bearing
2. DC Analog Inputs
• Radio altitude
• Crosstrack deviation
d. Functional Blocks
The I/O section is divided into four functional blocks. These consist of a 2048-×-16-bit multiport RAM
(MPRAM), a digital high-speed serial digital transmitter/receiver to transmit MPU cross-side data and
to receive DPU/MPU cross-side data, an array of microprocessor based I/O processors (IOP’s) and high-
speed input and output ports . These combine with the MPRAM to provide high-speed multiaccessing
features.
1. Multiport RAM (MPRAM)
At the center of the MPU I/O section is a 2048−×−16-bit high-speed RAM and multiaccess controller.
This RAM and controller are referred to as the multiport RAM or MPRAM.
The 2048−×−16-bit RAM is comprised of two 2048 × 8-bit RAM’s. When data is transferred from the
port to the RAM, the ISR signal is low. The controller reads an 11-bit address and 16-bit data from
the input port and performs a write sequence to the RAM. When data is transferred to the port from
the RAM, the OSR is low. In this case, the controller reads the 11-bit address from the port, reads
data from the RAM, and latches the 16-bit data in the output port. In either case, after the operation
is complete, the polling pulse is removed from the port, which in turn resets the service request sig-
nal and the polling sequence continues. All transfers between the MPRAM and the ports take place
on a 27-bit bus with 11 address bits and 16 data bits.
The MPRAM controller can support up to eleven ports. If fewer than eleven are actually used, the
controller can be strapped to ignore the unused port positions and there will be no loss of polling effi-
ciency due to empty port slots.
2. MPRAM I/O Ports
Interfacing the MPRAM to the other blocks of the I/O section is accomplished through a set of I/O
ports. There are two input/output ports and one input port. From this point on, all references to
MPRAM I/O ports will be made with respect to the MPRAM. That is, an input port is used to trans-
fer data to the MPRAM while an output port is used to transfer data from the MPRAM.
Coordination of the data transfers to and from the MPRAM is controlled by a simple polling se-
quence. This polling sequence views each I/O port at two ports, one for input and one for output;
thus, where two I/O ports and one input port are shown, the controller actually treats these as five
separate ports.
There are two types of I/O ports. The I/O port is connected to the display processor and the multi-
plexed I/O port is connected to the I/O processors. From the point of view of the MPRAM, these two
I/O ports are identical; in actual operation they differ, since each interfaces to different processor bus
schemes.
The 12-bit display processor interfaces to the 11-bit address and 16-bit data bus used by the I/O port
and the MPRAM. To read data from RAM, the display processor performs a read from external
memory sequence. Decoding of the processor control signals provides a signal to the MPRAM output
port that causes the processor to hang up and signals the MPRAM of a pending output request.
When the port is polled, the 12-bit address present at the processor’s address bus passes through the
port’s buffers and accesses data in the MPRAM. This data is then latched at the output port and the
display processor is released. The read cycle is now completed by the processor.
To write data to the MPRAM, the display processor performs a write to external memory sequence.
Processor control line decoding provides a signal to the MPRAM, this time to the input port. The
processor is signaled to hang up and the MPRAM is notified of the pending input transfer. When the
port is polled, the processor’s 11-bit address is passed to the MPRAM along with 12 bits of data. The
MPRAM controller performs the required RAM write sequence and then releases the processor, com-
pleting the transfer. Due to a decoding ambiguity at the display processor, a superfluous output re-
quest is also generated but the data is ignored by the display processor.
In the cross-side data receiver and its input port, serial data is received by a series of shift registers
in a form directly compatible with the input port. When a valid word is received, a data strobe is
generated which transfers the address and data fields to the input port latches. The same signal no-
tifies the MPRAM port of a pending input data transfer. When the MPRAM polls the port, the RAM
unite sequence is performed, which transfers the data from the port to the RAM.
There is also an I/O port which interfaces the I/O processors to the MPRAM. Again, this input/output
port pair appears to be two separate ports, one for input and one for output, as viewed by the
MPRAM. This I/O port provides for bidirectional data flow between the MPRAM and the I/O proces-
sors. This multiplexed I/O port is actually a polling controller very similar in operation to the
MPRAM controller described previously.
The polling logic issues an active low MUX SERVICE QUERY (MSQ) polling pulse to each IOP in
turn. If a data transfer is to take place, the IOP will place a low level on the active low MUX SERV-
ICE REQUEST (MSR) line. During the time that the MSQ line to that IOP is low, the multiplexed
I/O port polling logic recognizes the IOP’s request, and control of the multiplexed I/O port latches
and 11-bit data bus is given to the IOP. By using these control signals in the proper sequence, the
IOP can quickly perform data transfers to and from the MPRAM.
When the appropriate data transfer is complete, the IOP removes the multiplexed service request
signal and the service query polling sequence continues.
3. I/O Processors
The I/O processors, or IOP’s, are the main data collectors for the I/O section. They provide primarily
for the acquisition of data in a variety of forms from the A/C systems and other EFD units. This data
is digitized, filtered, formatted and written into the MPRAM to be used by the display processor. In
addition to inputting data, new information must be calculated based upon previously input data.
These mathematical calculations are also performed by the IOP’s. Along with inputting information
and performing calculations, some data must be generated and then output to other A/C units such
as the autopilot system. The output data may be required in a number of forms ranging from serial
digital to ac analog. Supervision of this function is part of the IOP’s responsibility.
Since many I/O operations are to be performed every second with data being handled in many forms,
the data is partitioned by data type and assigned an individual microprocessor to handle each data
partition. The result is a series of IOP’s all working in parallel to provide data to the MPRAM. Two
things should be noted. First, since there is a series of slower parallel IOP’s rather than a signal
high-speed IOP, the data gathering process is less susceptible to a single processor failure. For ex-
ample, if a single IOP were to fail, only the data partition associated with that IOP would be lost and
at least partial data flow to and from the MPRAM would continue. Second, since all the IOP’s and
the display processor can communicate with the same MPRAM, there exists a channel of bidirec-
tional communication between each of the IOP’s and any other IOP, as well as with the display proc-
essor.
The following three data format partitions are used by the I/O section with a single IOP for each par-
tition:
(a) AC Analog/DC Analog/DC Discrete
• Synchro/Digital
• Resolver/Digital
• Digital/Synchro
• Analog/Digital
• Digital/Analog
• Modes
• Flags
• Straps
(b) Serial Digital
• UART Based
• Low-Speed Pro-Line II
• ARINC 6-Wire
Display processor card A4 receives input data from the aircraft system from the I/O cards through the
MPRAM. It controls the operation of the symbol generator and ADI/MUX cards in the MPU. The processor is
a discrete 12-bit TTL machine. It is designed to be a fast real-time processor for crt display applications.
Instructions are first loaded from a program ROM into the instruction register which addresses a control
ROM. The control ROM in turn generates the necessary control signals to sequence the processor through
the execution of the instruction. Logical and arithmetic operations are performed on A and B registers by an
ALU. Shift and rotates are done by a shift register. The multiplexers perform two functions. They can select
either the program counter output (PC bus) or the shift register output (S bus) to be loaded into an A or B
register, or they can output data on the I/O bus (A bus) for use by peripheral devices.
The PC bus can directly access 20K of program ROM. The S bus is used to address a sine lookup table and
scratch-pad RAM.
Output of data to peripherals is accomplished by putting the data on the A bus and strobing the desired out-
put line from the I/O decoder. This enables the peripherals onto the A bus and the data is loaded into an A or
B register. Status flags can also be read directly into the processor from the status multiplexer. In the case of
input, output, and status lines, all device decoding is done within the processor.
A reset control circuit provides a power-on reset as well as an automatic processor reset, which resets the
processor if improper operation is detected.
Symbol generator card A5 creates the signals required to draw characters and lines on the EFD’s. The sym-
bol generator contains a character generator to draw letters and symbols, a vector generator to draw lines, a
coordinate converter to rotate characters and lines and a video circuit to turn the crt beam on and off.
a. Character Generator
The character generator provides X and Y deflection and video outputs to draw alphanumeric characters
and other symbols on the EFD displays. The character generator draws characters a stroke at a time,
much like one would draw on paper (as opposed to a raster format). The character generator can draw
variable sized and italic alphanumeric characters, and can string letters together for printing words and
labels.
The display processor card controls the character generator by loading data from its F bus into the char-
acter generator stroke counter. This sets the starting address of the data in the character ROM. Each lo-
cation in the ROM provides 1 video bit, 4 bits indicating the direction of each stroke, and 3 bits defining
the length of the stroke. The X-Y counter controller provides the necessary clock pulses to increment or
decrement the X and Y position counters to form the characters. Each time a new piece of data is output
from the character ROM (corresponding to a new character stroke) the stroke length is loaded into the
stroke length counter. As the stroke is drawn, the stroke length counter increments until the end-of-
stroke decoder detects that the present stroke is done. It then outputs an end-of-stroke signal (EOS)
which increments the stroke counter to address the next location in ROM, and the new stroke data is
loaded into the stroke length counter. The end of the character is detected by a dummy stroke of length
zero. This stops the operation of the character generator. Depending on which character load input was
used to draw the character, the position counter will either reset to the starting position or hold the pre-
sent state to allow stringing several characters together.
X and Y outputs are formed by d/a converters that produce analog voltages corresponding to the outputs
of the X and Y position counters. The character generator also outputs a character generator busy signal
(CGB) which tells the display processor when the character generator is active.
Character sizes are varied by changing the voltage reference to the d/a converter.
b. Vector Generator
The vector generator serves two purposes; first, it positions the deflection so that characters can be
drawn anywhere on the screen; second, it controls the video so that it can draw solid or dashed lines as it
moves along.
When a new X or Y position is loaded into the vector generator from the display processor, the compara-
tor compares the new position with the present position. Depending on whether the new position is
greater or less than the old position, the position counter counts up or down at a fixed rate until the pre-
sent position equals the new position. At this point, the vector is complete and the vector generator
stops. The digital output from the X and Y position counters are converted to an analog voltage at the
output. The vector generator sends a busy signal to the processor to indicate when it is vectoring. Solid
or dashed lines can also be selected by software.
c. Coordinate Converter
To be able to draw characters and symbols on the crt, the output of the character and vector generators
could be added together and sent directly to the displays. In the EFIS, however, there is also a need for
rotating lines and symbols about an origin, such as in the case of the tick marks on the compass rose.
The coordinate converter performs this function. Given an initial coordinate (X,Y) the position of this
point after rotation through an angle θ is:
X’=Xcosθ – Ysinθ + X org
Y’=Ycosθ + Xsinθ + Y org
analog integrator deflects the beam along a raster line from left to right. A blanking pulse is generated
to return the beam to the left with video off.
To produce the angular rotation of the sky/ground horizon line, the X and Y raster voltages are passed
through a coordinate converter which controls the video signals to generate a horizon line with the
proper angle. The display processor controls the amount of rotation based on the aircraft roll angle.
The display processor provides control and data for the sky/raster generator. Data is output to the raster
generator in two parts: roll angle and pitch angle. The pitch angle is output last since the strobe signal
used to load the raster latches also signals the raster logic to produce one raster cycle. A raster busy sig-
nal is output to the display processor card for the duration of the raster cycle. A single raster cycle takes
8 milliseconds to complete.
b. Multiplexer
The multiplexer, part of ADI/MUX card A6, allows the MPU to drive two EFD’s and an MFD with differ-
ent deflection and video signals. The MPU can put an ADI on one EFD, draw an HSI on another EFD,
and at the same time drive the MFD. This is done by switching the symbol generator, sky raster, and
WXR raster signals to the proper display at the proper time with the multiplexer circuit.
An ADI deflection multiplexer switches between symbol generator and sky raster signals. The HSI mul-
tiplexer switches between symbol generator, WXR, and sky raster (sky raster is needed to produce a
composite display on the EFD unit normally having an HSI). The video multiplexer performs a similar
function with the digital video signals.
A multiplexer controller selects the proper multiplexer inputs depending on the selected display modes,
the state of the symbol generator, and whether or not the weather and sky rasters are busy. Deflection
and video signal drivers are used on the multiplexer outputs to provide a low-impedance source for
driving the display units.
Aircraft +28 V dc is input to power supply card A3. Card A3 provides +5, +15, and –15 V dc to circuits within
the MPU. The circuit consists of a +28-to +15-V dc series switching regulator that supplies constant voltage
to a push-pull inverter. The push-pull inverter then outputs regulated and filtered +5, +15, and –15 V dc to
cards A4 through A10 in the MPU. Another version of the A3 card consists of a +28 to +15-V dc series
switching regulator, a +28- to +5-V dc series switching regulator and a +15- to –15-push-pull inverter.
The EFIS system will provide normal operation down to +18 V dc. When the voltage drops below +18 V dc,
the crt’s will blank. Normal operation is resumed automatically when the voltage rises above +18 V dc.
When there are short power interruptions (a few seconds), there is no warmup time; the crt’s show a blank
state and turn on as soon as power is restored.
avoid troublesome intermittent warnings. The comparator function may be inhibited by grounding strap
22 and 12 on the MPU.
b. On-Line Monitoring
On-line monitoring of the EFIS system is accomplished in the following ways:
1. Keep-Alive Monitor — Circuits are included with each of the system processors to monitor a periodic
signal generated by the processor. If the signal is not generated, the circuit will cause a flag condi-
tion and attempt to restart the processor.
2. Test Words — A series of test words is transmitted between EFIS subsystem components to verify
integrity of the data paths. Detection of a bad data transmission will cause a flag condition.
3. Activity Monitors — The digital buses being received by the I/O sections are monitored for activity. If
no activity is detected for the appropriate period for that bus, a no data condition or a flag is set de-
pending on the bus.
4. Synchro Monitor — All synchros are monitored for valid voltage levels. If an invalid condition is de-
tected, the appropriate flag is set.
5. Checksum Monitor — The I/O and display processors periodically verify their program checksums. If
an incorrect checksum is calculated, the test words as described above are not generated, resulting in
a DPU/MPU fail condition.
6. Ram Monitor — During each power-up sequence, the I/O and display processors test their private
RAM storage and generate test words. If the test words are not generated, a DPU/MPU fail condition
results.
7. Multiport RAM Test — During each power-up sequence, the digital I/O #1 processor tests the mul-
tiport RAM. Different sequences of data are written to the RAM and read to verify its integrity. A
failure of any bit will cause the processor to reset and perform the test again. At the conclusion of a
successful test, the RAM is cleared to all zeroes.
c. Self-Test Mode
In addition to the on-line monitors, it is possible to place the EFIS system in a self-test mode by the use
of an airframe supplied test switch or test switches. When the test mode has been activated, the button
and knobs on the DCP select various submodes. Test functions available include:
1. Confidence Test
When the MPU test is grounded, an increment of +10 degrees is added to pitch and roll on the left
side and –10 degrees is added to pitch and roll on the right side. A +20 degree increment is added to
heading on the left side and a –20 degree increment is added to the heading on the right side. The
word TEST in red characters is written across the EADI above the aircraft symbol while the test is
in process. The addition of the 10- and 20-degree increments is done in the MPU I/O section and will
cause the comparator logic in the display processor to give roll, pitch, and heading comparator mes-
sages.
If the MPU test line is held at ground for longer than 4 seconds, the 10-degree increments are re-
moved and all EADI and EHSI flags will be brought into view. This flag condition will remain until
either the ground is removed from the test line, or the RA TST button on the DCP is pressed to enter
a sequence of diagnostic/maintenance routines (DMRS).
If the RA TST button is not depressed and the ground is removed from the test line, the test se-
quence is aborted and normal operation is resumed.
2. Diagnostics/Maintenance Routines (DMRS)
To enter the diagnostic/maintenance routines for the MPU in a 5-tube system, push and hold the
EFIS TEST button on the pilot’s side and then push the DSP TST/DCP RA TST button on the control
for the copilot’s side. Each successive push of the TST/RA TST button on the copilot’s control changes
the display to the next available diagnostic page. Push the copilot’s TST/RA TST button on the last
page of the diagnostic pages to exit the diagnostic mode and change the display back to a normal
MFD display. To exit the diagnostic pages from any page, at any time, push and hold the copilot’s
TST/RA TST button for approximately 2 seconds. The display changes directly to a normal MFD.
Refer to Figure 4-12. The multifunction processing unit (MPU) receives serial data from the MFD and then
transmits the necessary deflection and video signals to define a picture on the MFD. The serial data received
by the MPU is a single page of data to be displayed on the screen and the control mode switch information.
The control mode switch information will be used by the MPU to determine the mode and thus transmit the
necessary signals.
The MFD has control mode switches (pushbuttons) on the left-hand side of the screen. The pushbuttons are
interlocking, and only one button may be pushed at a time. The exceptions to this are the RDR and NAV
mode buttons. These may be pushed for any combination of the two buttons.
Remote data is stored in RAM if the selected mode is RMT. The RAM temporarily stores a page of data. If
power is turned off the page information is lost. The data received from the external source has a starting
address followed by a stream of data. The processor decodes the address and loads the data into the RAM.
Page data is stored in the EEPROM if the selected mode is PGE or EMG. The EEPROM retains the data
even if the power is turned off. One byte of serial data is received each time a key is depressed on the RDP-
300. The processor stores the byte of data at the appropriate address in the EEPROM. The EEPROM re-
quires extensive control signals to input data. Logic is used external to the processor to control the EEP-
ROM.
Independent of the two storage methods mentioned above, if the selected mode is RMT, PGE, or EMG, one
page of data must be transmitted to the MPU. The data is transmitted serially, one byte at a time. The
switch information will be transmitted in the same manner.
The MPU receives the data on the rising edge of each clock. The address is used to define a location within a
RAM. Each byte of data must have an 8-bit address associated with it to define a spot within the RAM. One
page worth of data requires 240 bytes to fill the memory. The remaining 16 bytes of RAM are used for MFD
switch storage.
The crt assembly and deflection amplifiers are the same as the EFD.
There are three separate video amplifiers in each MFD. These amplifiers are used to turn the electron
beams on and off at speeds up to 2 MHz by outputting either of two discrete voltage levels. The voltage levels
that turn the video guns on and off are dependent on the voltage applied to grid 2. Grid 2 is biased at +400 V
dc, giving us video on (Von) R 60 V dc and video off (Voff) S 150 V dc.
The HVPS provides two output voltages, 15 kV for the anode and +2.5 to +4.5 kV dc for focus. The anode and
focus voltage regulators are independent of each other in order to ensure output regulation. The oscillator
section of the HVPS is contained in the anode section. This oscillator is also used to drive the focus trans-
former primary. Having the anode and focus oscillations synchronized reduces emi.
Aircraft +28 V dc is input to the low-voltage power supply card A4. Circuit card A4 provides +5, ±11, ±25,
and +26.5 V dc to circuits within the MFD.
In the following discussion, refer to Figure 4-13 for a block diagram of the CHP.
The encoders are controlled by the knobs on the face of unit. The CRS 1 knob controls the positioning of the
pilot’s course arrows, the CRS 2 knob controls the positioning of the copilot’s course arrows, and the HDG
knob controls the positioning of the pilot’s and copilot’s heading reference marker simultaneously. Each CRS
knob controls a single encoder and the HDG knob controls two encoders. When a CRS knob is turned a code
disk rotates. The code disk is notched, so when rotated, light to a phototransistor is passed or blocked. The
phototransistor acts as an encoder to sense direction and speed of knob rotation and apply pulses to an asso-
ciated direction/movement detector. Rotating a CRS knob clockwise sets the direction/movement detector
course output to +5 V dc and rotating the CRS knob counterclockwise sets the direction/movement detector
course direction output to 0 V dc. The direction/movement detector also outputs a complementary serial
pulse train that the DCP-85E samples to determine how fast the course arrows are to rotate.
4.4.5.2 Switches
The CRS DIRECT, HDG SYNC, CRS CTL, ET, and NAV DTA pushbutton switches are normally open and
when used apply a ground to the DCP-85E to activate the appropriate function. Each position of the TTG-
SP-ET toggle switch applies a ground to the DCP-85E to activate the appropriate function. The ET pushbut-
ton is used in conjunction with the ET position of the toggle switch and the ET function of the NAV DTA
pushbutton to control the elapsed time function. When an elapsed time function is displayed on the EHSI,
each time the ET pushbutton is activated, the elapsed time counter cycles to the next state in the following
sequence:
a. Reset to 00:00.
b. Start elapsed time count.
c. Hold present reading.
The primary function of the DCP is to provide pilot control of the EFIS system. The DCP processor scans the
DCP and CHP front panel switches for pilot inputs. The switches provide pilot selection of NAV sensors, dis-
play modes, decision height, course, and heading values. Processing of inputs is done by determining valid
changes in switch status, and then executing a routine to process the new data. Along with the switch in-
puts, the DCP processor also monitors autopilot annunciators. After processing by the DCP, input data is
then transferred to the DPU/MPU display computers via a serial data link. Refer to Figure 4-14.
Inputs to processor card A1 consist of parallel switch position data, serial rear connector strapping data from
the A2 card, and serial autopilot annunciator data from the A6 card. The parallel switch data is serialized,
combined with the serial strapping data, and monitored by the microprocessor. When a switch changes
status the microprocessor executes a routine to process the new data before sending it to the DPU. The
course sensor, bearing sensor, selected course, selected heading, and decision height data are stored in non-
volatile memory (EAROM) for power interruption protection. The microprocessor also monitors the autopilot
annunciator data but transfers it to the DPU without preprocessing.
Power supply card A2 converts an input of +28 V dc into –28 V dc, +15 V dc, +5 V dc, a power-up signal, and
a power-down signal. The power-up signal resets the microprocessor on the A1 card upon system initializa-
tion. The power-down signal notifies the A1 card of possible loss of power. This card also reads the strapping
of the rear connector and sends this data, in serial form, to the A1 card.
Interconnect card A3 contains rear connectors J1 and J2. The card provides interface between these rear
connectors and between the other cards in the DCP.
Rotary switch card A4 contains the rotary switches: DH SET, mode (HSI-ARC-MAP), and SEL/RNG. Con-
nections with card A5 pass through A4.
Pushbutton switch card A5 contains the pushbutton switches: RA TST, RDR, CRS XFR, CRS ACT, CRS
PRE, and BRG. Circuit card A5 also contains the lighting for the pushbuttons.
Autopilot annunciator data (24 inputs) from the flight control computer are input to auxiliary card A6. The
parallel inputs are buffered and converted into serial data for transmission to the DPU/MPU. Card A6 also
has a LIGHTING switch labeled 5V or 28V. This switch selects panel lighting from one of two input sources:
external +5 V dc or the internal +5 V dc generated from the +28-V dc input.
The primary function of the DSP-85A is to provide pilot control of the EFIS system. To accomplish this task,
the DSP-85A processor scans DSP front panel switches for pilot inputs and monitors autopilot annunciator
signals. After processing by the DSP, input data is then transferred to the DPU/MPU display computers via
a serial data link. Refer to Figure 4-15.
Processor card A1 inputs consist of: parallel rear connector strapping data, course and heading data, serial
switch position data from auxiliary card A5, and serial autopilot annunciator data from auxiliary card A5.
Shift registers on card A1 convert the parallel rear connector strapping data into serial information supplied
to the computer. The computer monitors the serial switch position data along with the course and heading
data. When a switch changes status the computer executes a routine to process the new data before trans-
mitting it. The computer also monitors the autopilot annunciator data but sends it out without preprocess-
ing.
Power supply card A2 converts an input of 28 V dc into –28 V dc, +15 V dc, +5 V dc, a power-up signal, and a
power-down signal. The power-up signal notifies the computer when the power supply is in its normal oper-
ating range. The power-down signal warns the computer of possible loss of power.
Interconnect card A3 contains rear connectors J1 and J2. Card A3 also provides interface between the other
cards and the rear connectors.
Pushbutton switch card A4 contains the front panel pushbutton switches along with pushbutton lighting.
Auxiliary card A5 inputs consist of: parallel switch position data from the DSP-85 front panel, data from the
course and heading optical encoders, parallel autopilot annunciator data, and a mux select line from the
computer. The optical decoder converts the digital pulses from the optical encoder into two signals: one indi-
cates the direction of rotation while the other shows the amount of rotation. The auxiliary card also contains
shift registers that convert the parallel autopilot annunciator data and front switch position information into
serial data for the computer. The parallel autopilot annunciator data uses 12-V logic and the shift registers
and multiplexer are powered by +12 V dc. The serial switch data uses 5-V logic and therefore is converted to
12-V logic before being applied to the multiplexer. The mux select line from the computer is also converted
into 12-V logic before being applied to the multiplexer. The mux select line from the computer selects to read
either the autopilot annunciator data or switch position data. The selected data is converted from 12-V levels
to 5-V logic before being applied to the computer.
The panel supplies all those functions necessary for the operation and control of the weather radar system.
This includes the following manual functions:
• RANGE selection
• MODE selection
• TILT control
• GAIN control
• Antenna stabilization (STB) disable selection
• Display hold (HLD) selection
• Target alert (TGT) function selection
In response to these manual control functions, the panel generates the various clocking, timing, and control
signals used throughout the radar system.
Figure 4-16 is a block diagram of the weather radar system using the WXP panel. It shows the major func-
tions in the panel. The antenna drive function generates the θA and θB antenna scan drive signals as well as
the three rt control signals; L/S’ (long/not-short transmit pulse), MT (modulator timing pulse), and PRF
(PRF clock pulse). In response to these signals, the rt generates the high energy pulse that is radiated by the
antenna. The received signal is collected by the antenna and directed to the receiver where it is processed
into three levels of video, representing three levels of return signal strength. The signal processing and stor-
age circuits process these signals into a binary word and store it in memory. The memory is organized so
that each memory cell corresponds to a certain segment of target area. Therefore, as the data is processed, it
is deposited into a memory location which, by virtue of its address, identifies that data with respect to range
and azimuth. The processing of data into the memory locations is done at a relatively slow rate because it
must be synchronous with the antenna scan.
The process of displaying the data, that is, reading it out of memory and writing it on the crt, is done at a
much higher rate. This high rate of data refresh makes possible a bright and continuous display. The video
output encoding circuits decode the stored binary word and encode it for proper color; level 1 is green, level 2
is yellow, and level 3 is red (except in MAP mode where level 1 and level 3 change to blue and magenta, re-
spectively). This data is sent, via a digital serial word bit stream, to the DPU or MPU for display on the
MFD or EFD’s.
Refer to Figure 4-17. Integrated circuit U1, an 8748 computer, scans the keyboard switch matrix to find a
pressed key. When a pressed key is found, the computer determines the code to be sent and places it on the
data bus. The computer also determines if the select key is one of the keys with automatic repeat.
This allows certain keys (PR, PF, LR, LF, BS, SP, BLK, period and dash) to repeat by holding the key down
instead of repeated pressings.
The transmitter clock for the UART comes from a monostable multivibrator, triggered by the 8748 computer
address latch enable (ALE) line. The monostable multivibrator is used to generate the necessary square-
wave output to operate the UART properly.
Refer to Figure 4-18 for a detailed block diagram of the CEU-85. CEU-85 Checklist Entry Unit operation is
controlled by an 8748 microcomputer U2. U2 contains the central processing unit and 1K × 8 words of ROM
program memory and 64 words of RAM data memory required to have a functional microcomputer. The
CEU-85 mode of operation is determined by the logic status of U2 T1 input. Application of power to the
CEU-85 from the MFD-85( ) (via the data jack) enables U1A to apply a logic 0 reset signal to U2 internal
master reset (MR) input. The reset signal causes the U2 internal operation program to examine the logic
status of the T1 input. Connecting a Pro Line II interface card connector J2 to CEU-85 J1 generates a logic 0
(ground) at the T1 input. With T1 grounded, U2’s internal operating software enables it to receive serial
data at the T0 input and transmit serial data from the P27 port output. The serial data is received and
transmitted at a 12.5-kilobaud rate. Connecting CEU-85 remote data plug to the MFD-85( ) leaves CEU-85
J1 open. Thus, the U2 T1 input is pulled to +5 V dc. With T1 at +5 V dc, the U2’s internal software enables a
22.5-kilobaud data rate. Also, transistor Q1 is forward biased by the logic 0 reset signal. The resulting cur-
rent flow through Q1 applies a logic 1 to the EEPROM’s WR inputs, preventing erroneous data write signals
that could accidentally change the EEPROM data. Microcomputer U2 stores checklist data in three 8K × 8
EEPROMs: U4, U5, and U6. The checklist address location data received from the computer is 16 bits long.
Bits 1 through 13 provide the physical memory address locations of each EEPROM. Bits 14 and 15 are used
as logic control signals by 3-line to 8-line decoder U3. The signals are decoded by U3 to enable a specific
EEPROM during the data read or write cycle.
The operation of the ADA-85 can be viewed in terms of three major functions. These are shown in Figure
4-19. Most of the functions operate simultaneously on a time-shared basis; that is, the ADA-85 receives, de-
codes, stores, computes, etc, approximately every 3.4 ms for each Manchester serial data word received.
The input circuit consists of a data receiver, data/clock recovery circuit, three 8-bit shift registers, the end-of-
word detector, and the receiver status register.
The function of the input circuit is to receive serial Manchester coded data and convert the data into parallel
data for the microprocessor. Manchester coded data is self-clocking, that is, 1 data bit contains both clock
and data information. The data received from the ADC-80( ) consists of 16 different 24-bit data words. Each
data word is updated approximately 17 times a second and each 24-bit data word is followed by a 12-bit si-
lence. The Manchester bus uses a shielded, twisted pair of wires, one wire high and the other a signal re-
turn. The driving source applies a signal to the high side wire while the signal return wire remains at
ground. The data receiver thus measures differently between them to convert the 2-wire Manchester data
into a single-ended signal that is sensed by the data/clock recovery circuit. The data/clock recovery circuit
separates the data to clock itself into the shift registers. The end-of-word detector monitors the separated
clock signal and triggers the receiver status register to interrupt the microprocessor after the last data bit is
received. The interrupt (air data received) signals the microprocessor that a new data word is in the shift
registers. The air data interrupt signal is maintained until the microprocessor reads the data in the shift
registers. The receiver status register monitors the data read process and when the last shift register is
read, the receiver status register is reset, removing the air data received interrupt signal.
The control circuits consist of the microprocessor, address latch and ROM, heartbeat monitor, and power-on-
clear circuits. The microprocessor, address latch, and RAM provide the function of converting the air data
from the shift registers into commercial standard digital bus (CSDB) format air data. The heartbeat monitor
and power-on-clear circuits initiate and monitor microprocessor operation.
After initialization, the microprocessor is under control of the background (executive) software routine. This
routine monitors the external interrupt line from the receiver status register, monitors the internal software
timer interrupt that controls processing of received data and transmitting of CSDB data, and toggles the
heartbeat monitor input.
As stated in paragraph 4.4.12, the receiver status register interrupts the microcomputer after an air data
word is received. Upon receiving an air data received interrupt, the microprocessor reads the data in the
shift registers and temporarily stores the data in its internal registers. Next, the microprocessor tests the
data pad and label bits to determine what type of air data was received. If the data passes the test, it is
transferred into microprocessor RAM to await processing into CSDB data.
The processing of received data into CSDB data is controlled by the internal timer interrupt. This interrupt
occurs 20 times a second and calls a routine that processes received data into CSDB data and initiates
transmission of CSDB data. Refer to paragraph 4.4.12 for a description of CSDB data. In order to determine
what CSDB word to prepare for transmission, the timer interrupt routine keeps track of which CSDB data
words have been transmitted. To output CSDB data, the microprocessor transfers converted data to the
UART one byte at a time; by monitoring the UART, the microprocessor determines when to transfer another
data byte to the UART. After transferring a CSDB data word, the microprocessor returns to the background
routine.
As stated in paragraph 4.4.12, the power-on-clear circuit resets the microprocessor after initial application of
power or after a power interruption. The power-on-clear circuit also applies a reset signal if the microcom-
puter gets stuck in a continuous software loop. Periodically during program operation, the microprocessor
outputs a pulse to the heartbeat monitor. However, if the microprocessor gets stuck in an endless loop, the
pulse will not be sent. The heartbeat monitor senses the absence of the pulses and triggers the power-on-
clear circuit to reset the microprocessor.
The data output circuit consists of the UART and differential line driver. The data output circuit provides
the function of converting parallel CSDB data from the microprocessor into CSDB serial data.
After power on, the UART is programmed by the microprocessor during initialization to transmit data re-
ceived in parallel format from the start bit, parity bit, and stop bit to each data byte and to transmit serial
data at a 12.5-kilobaud rate. The ADA-85 converts the received data words into seven different CSDB data
words.
To output CSDB data, the microprocessor transfers converted data to the UART 1 byte at a time; by moni-
toring the UART, the microprocessor determines when to transfer another data byte to the UART. CSDB
data is transmitted by the ADA-85 in a 6-byte-per-data-frame format. The data frames are transmitted in
byte sequence order with byte 0 being the address byte (data identification label), byte 1 being the status
byte, and bytes 2 through 5 being the data bytes. Each different data frame has a specific address label. It is
this label that all units connected to the CSDB bus sample to determine if the next data frame is to be proc-
essed or ignored. Prior to transmitting a data frame, the microprocessor transmits a sync frame. With the
data bits of each byte set to hex A5, the sync frame informs the other units on the CSDB that data is to be
transmitted. This allows the CSDB receiver in the receiving unit to synchronize to the forthcoming data
frame.
The purpose of the FMM is to control an external annunciator which indicates if the fan cooling the EFIS
equipment is operating properly. The FMM mounts to the side of the cooling fan. Refer to Figure 4-20 for the
FMM-85 (-001) and to Figure 4-21 for the FMM-85 (-002) schematic diagrams.
Note
The FMM-85 (-001) is compatible with the following tube-axial fan: Rotron model number MD28D1
(CPN 009-1965-030). The fan (-002) sensor signal is compatible with the following tube-axial fan: Ro-
tron model number 011126 (CPN 009-0271-010).
The fan motor provides a fan sensor signal to FMM-85 J1-3. The fan sensor signal is a positive going signal
with frequency and amplitude being directly proportional to the fan motor RPM. The FMM-85 (-001) is de-
signed to operate with Rotron MD28D1 tube-axial fan that has a nominal speed of 3150 RPMs which trans-
lates to a fan sensor output of approximately 55 Hz. The FMM-85 (-002) is designed to operate with a Rotron
011126 tube-axial fan that has a nominal speed of 18,000 RPM, which translates to a fan sensor output of
approximately 780 Hz.
The FMM-85 (-001) is designed to indicate a fan underspeed condition when the fan motor RPM drops under
approximately 1818 RPM, which is a fan sensor output of 30 Hz. The 30-Hz signal is sensed at J1-3 and ap-
plied to a retriggerable monostable multivibrator. The trip level is set by the RC circuit of R4 and C5 tied to
the trigger input of monostable multivibrator U2. The RC time constant of this monostable multivibrator is
not retriggered before its timeout period and its Q output switches to logic 0. Thus NAND gate U1B is not
able to retrigger multivibrator U2B.The timeout period of U2B is approximately 5 seconds. This wait period
ensures that fan motor speed is staying below 1818 RPM and that an aircraft power surge did not cause fan
motor speed to be reduced. After the 5-second wait, relay K1 is deenergized and applies a ground to light a
fan failure annunciator. FMM-85 (-002) operation is identical to FMM-85 (-001) operation except U2A is set
to detect fan motor RPM of less than 3075 RPM which is a fan sensor signal of approximately 134 Hz. U2A
timeout wait is set to 3.74 ms, one-half of 134 Hz period.
A self-test signal (ground) is applied to J1-4 to simulate the loss of a fan motor. This ground energizes relay
K2 which opens the fan sensor circuit. In approximately five seconds the RC circuit of R5 and C6 times out
and turns off Q2. This causes relay K1 to deenergize which lights an external annunciator to indicate a fan
motor failure.

5.1 GENERAL
This section provides procedures for testing and troubleshooting the EFIS-85B(3/13) and EFIS-86B(3/13)
Electronic Flight Instrument Systems. The test procedures provide fault isolation down to a unit while the
system is installed in the aircraft. Faulty units can then be tested and repaired by using the bench proce-
dures given in the associated unit instruction books.
Perform a brightness test on each EFD-85/86 (EADI and EHSI) and the MFD-85( ) at approximately 5000
hours of aircraft operation since the last brightness test, or any time the display brightness seems question-
able. All exchanged and repaired units have a brightness test routinely done at the service center.
Measure the brightness of each EFIS display using the Minolta LS-100 Luminance Meter 1° equipped with
the Minolta 1804-741 close-up lens, or the Minolta Luminance Meter 1A° equipped with the Minolta 6031-
530 close-up lens. The (new) Minolta LS-100 Luminance Meter 1° is available for purchase at Minolta cam-
era dealers.
Note
The aircraft cockpit must be in low ambient light, such as inside a hangar, to do the EFIS brightness
measurements. To do the measurement while the aircraft is on the ramp in sunlight, the cockpit
windows must be covered with an opaque cloth to lower the ambient light level.
a. Turn on power to the EFIS system. Wait 15 minutes for the EFIS displays to stabilize.
b. Select and set up the display to be checked.
EFD Display Setup
Push and hold the pilot’s or copilot’s EFIS TEST button and push the RA TST button on the DCP (or DH
SET TST button on the DSP) for the same side, to turn on the EFIS test mode for the EFDs. Release the
EFIS TEST button. Push the RA TST button (or DH SET TST) two more times to select the calibration
mode. The calibration mode shows page numbers in white in the upper right corner of the display. Turn
the DH SET knob on the DCP (or DSP) to select page 15. Page 15 shows an all-brown screen.
MFD Display Setup
Push and hold the pilot’s EFIS TEST button and push the copilot’s RA TST button on the DCP (or DH
SET TST button on the DSP), to turn on the EFIS test mode for the MFD. Release the EFIS TEST but-
ton. Push the RA TST button (or DH SET TST) three more times to select the calibration mode. The
calibration mode shows page numbers in white in the upper right corner of the display. Turn the DH
SET knob on the DCP (or DSP) to select page 15. Page 15 shows an all-brown screen.
c. Set the display brightness controls for maximum crt brightness.
Note
Do step d (below) if using the Minolta LS-100 Luminance meter. Otherwise, skip to step e.
Perform the brightness measurement with the meter perpendicular to the EFIS display surface
within ±15 degrees. If this angle is increased, the luminance measurements will not be accurate.
f. To exit the EFIS test mode, push and hold the RA TST button on the DCP (or DH SET TST knob on the
DSP) for approximately two seconds. The EFIS displays return to normal operation. Reset the display
brightness controls to normal crt brightness.
g. Record the results of the brightness test in the aircraft logbook or other permanent aircraft maintenance
record.
The following cleaning instructions apply to the exposed portions of Collins Avionics equipment located in
aircraft cockpits. This includes the following:
• Control panels
• Instrument bezels
• CRT display faces
• Plastic display faces
Caution
Do not spray or pour cleaners directly onto avionics equipment. Spraying or pouring the cleaner may
result in excessive fluid entering openings around buttons, switches, knobs, and display bezels.
Do not use soap and water mixtures for cleaning. Soap and water mixtures that flow into openings
around switches, knobs, buttons, and display bezels may leave a soap residue that may affect the op-
eration of the equipment.
Do not use brushes for cleaning. Brushes may leave scratches and/or remove painted markings.
Do not use solvents on avionics equipment. Solvents may remove paint and the special antireflective
coatings on the face of CRTs.
Clean Collins Avionics equipment with any ordinary glass cleaner and a soft lint free or low lint cloth or pho-
tographic lens cleaning tissue. For hard to remove fingerprints and residues use a mixture of 50% isopropyl
alcohol and 50% glass cleaner. Apply the cleaner to the cloth or tissue then wipe the surface to be cleaned.
5.2.2.1 Additional Cleaning Ins tructions for CRT and Plastic Display Faces
When cleaning displays, be careful not to damage the antireflective coating on crt faces and not to scratch
plastic display faces. Make sure that the cleaning tissue/cloth is flat (not creased) to reduce pressure points
that could cause streaking or scratching of coatings or plastics. If a cleaning cloth is used, make sure it is
soft and practically lint free. Some cloth materials can damage coatings and scratch plastics.
To clean dust and light fingerprints from the display face, wipe the display face with a photographic lens tis-
sue or a soft cloth.
To remove fingerprints or any residue from a display face, apply the glass cleaner to the lens tissue or soft
cloth and rub the wet tissue/cloth around the display face to remove the fingerprints or residue. After the
display face is clean, use a clean dry tissue to remove excess cleaning fluid and streaks.
Table 5-1 lists the test equipment required to perform the EFIS test procedures. Equivalent test equipment
can be substituted for that listed.
Collins 972Q-4 VOR/ILS/MB ramp test Must have provisions for testing the localizer signal to 0.155 DDM and the glideslope
set (CPN 622-2211-002) or equivalent signal to 0.175 DDM. These modulation levels produce 2-dot indications on localizer and
glideslope deviation displays.
Collins CTS-9 Breakout Box Test Set The CTS-9 is compatible with Thinline full-height 160 pin connectors. Recommended for
(CPN 622-6720-001) any EFIS system troubleshooting that requires the use of a breakout box.
Multimeter Fluke 8010A, 3-1/2 digit accuracy. Measure AC and DC voltages.
Oscilloscope Tektronix 455, 2235, 2236, dc to 10 MHz. Measure serial logic levels.
All power required to perform the system tests and troubleshooting is provided by the aircraft in which the
system is installed.
Aircraft downtime may be reduced if an inoperative unit is quickly identified. An EFIS quick-check trouble-
shooting chart is provided in Figure 5-1. Use this chart before performing the test procedures in either Table
5-2 or Table 5-3. The test procedures in Table 5-2 are used to help isolate a defective unit in the EFIS-
85B(13)/86B(13) system. The test procedures in Table 5-3 are used to help isolate a defective unit in the
EFIS-85B(3)/86B(3) system. The tests are written around a 5-tube system.
When more than one EADI and EHSI is connected to the system, they can be used to cross-check the outputs
of the DPU-85H Display Processor Unit (DPU). If both EADI’s or EHSI’s connected to the system give the
same erroneous indication, the DPU is probably at fault. However, if only one indicator gives an erroneous
indication, that particular indicator is probably defective. Each aircraft has reversionary switching wired
into the interconnect. Refer to the Flight Manual Supplement for the aircraft in question. Use the reversion-
ary and cross-switching information found there to help isolate a fault to either the display (EFD, MFD) or
to the driving source (DPU, MPU). Use the block diagrams (Figure 5-3 through Figure 5-8) found in para-
graph 5.6 aid in understanding system operation.

5.5.1 Introduction
This BITS mode self-test guide is an operator reference to information stored in RAM memory in the fol-
lowing EFIS equipments: DPU-85H/86H Display Processor Unit (DPU), MPU-85H/86H Multifunction Proc-
essor Unit (MPU), and the MFD-85A Multifunction Display (MFD). The stored information may be used as a
troubleshooting aid to help identify a faulty unit in the system. Refer to the block diagrams found at the end
of this section.
The EFIS crt’s (the EADI, EHSI, and MFD) are used to display the parameters of this stored information.
Some of these parameters are translated from external inputs; others are passed across from the off-side or
result from internal operations. These parameters are stored in what is called Multiport RAM (MPR) loca-
tions in the DPU, MPU, and MFD. To view this MPR data, the BITS mode must be entered.
The BITS mode is a ground test usually performed by flight-line maintenance personnel. In general, the
data displayed in the BITS mode is not self-reading and requires instructions to interpret. Refer to Table 5-4
for a numerical listing of the displayed MPR data or to Table 5-5 for an alphabetical listing. Table 5-6 and
Table 5-7 contain descriptions of the data stored in each MPR location. A sample of the MPR bits data
display is shown in Figure 5-2.
a. Locate the EFIS system TEST switch. To enter the diagnostic/maintenance routines for each DPU, push
and hold the installer-supplied EFIS TEST switch and push the radio altimeter test switch on the on-
side DCP/DSP. Once the first page of the routine is displayed, the EFIS TEST switch may be released.
Pages of the routine may be changed by repeatedly pushing the radio altimeter test switch on the on-side
DCP/DSP.
To enter the diagnostic/maintenance routines for the MPU in a 5-tube system, push and hold the pilot’s
side EFIS TEST switch and push the radio altimeter test switch on the copilot’s DCP/DSP. Page se-
quencing is done by repeatedly pushing the radio altimeter test switch on the copilot’s DCP/DSP. Ground
test entry has been achieved when MPR is observed on the EADI, EHSI, and MFD.
b. Release the system TEST and RA TST buttons. The EADI, EHSI, and MFD should display seven col-
umns of data. The left column (DEC) displays a 3-digit location and the second through five columns
(MPR) display binary 1’s and 0’s of the data contained in each memory address. The sixth column dis-
plays address information and the last column (HEX) represents the 16-binary bits in the MPR column.
The DH SET knob is used to change the MPR data (1 click for each location). There are 2048 locations
(000 through 2048). Locations 000 through 1023 are for on-side (left-side) locations and 1024 through
2047 are for the off-side (right-side). Table 5-6 contains descriptions of the data stored in each MPR loca-
tion.
c. Push and release the RA TST button twice. The word MFD should be displayed over the fourth column
from the left. The left column (DEC) displays a 3-decimal location and the second column (HEX) displays
the hex location. The third through fifth columns (MFD) display binary 1’s and 0’s of the data contained
in each memory address. The sixth column displays address information. Table 5-7 contains descriptions
of the data stored in each MPR location for the MFD.
d. Repeatedly push and release the RA TST button. A calibration screen should be displayed. Rotate the
DH SET knob clockwise and various screens will appear. (The same screen should appear on both the
ADI and HSI.) These screens are used mainly for calibration procedures in the lab.
Repeatedly push and release the DH SET knob (or the RA TST switch). After the last test in the sequence,
the DPU/MPU will exit the test mode and the normal EADI, EHSI, and MFD displays will return.
Note
Cycling power to the box will also exit the ground test sequence.
