AvMap Ultra EFIS 1. Overview Ultra is a complete instrumentation system for primary flight display (PFD) and horizontal situation indicator (HSI) functions. It is a rugged and reliable system designed for fixed panel installation. Rotation knob Micro SD slot Power GPS receiver & I/O cable connector Figure 1 Note: For connection specifications see Chapter 2. ADAHRS The core of the Ultra is the ADAHRS module.
AvMap Ultra EFIS Micro SD card A microSD card is included in the Ultra box. The microSD card is a blank card without data preloaded. The microSD card should be used for software updates and data transfer from/to the Ultra like updating the navigation POI’s. Note: For more details see Chapter 4. Rotation knob The rotor plus centre click allow to switch from one mode to the other and to select different menu option. Note: For more details see Chapter 4 and 5. 2.
AvMap Ultra EFIS Ultra is designed to be installed in a standard 3 1/8” (79,5 mm) diameter hole. The instrument has to be installed from the front of the panel and screwed from behind the panel according to Figure 3. 77,5 mm (3.

Use light thread locker to prevent screw loosening with vibration. Use the Cutting template, included in the box, to cut out the panel.
AvMap Ultra EFIS 2.3 Connections & wiring On the back of the unit there are 4 connectors: the Pitot port, the static port, the power supply connector, and the GPS receiver connector (see Figure 5).

AvMap Ultra EFIS mechanical or digital altimeters and airspeed indicators is supported by mean of a T coupler (not included in the Ultra box). Connect the Pitot line to the port labeled PITOT and the static line to the port labeled STATIC. IMPORTANT: Use flexible plastic tubes and make sure the tubes fit tight on the NPT Pitot and static ports and can not get loose due to vibration. IMPORTANT: We recommend to test the Pitot-static system for leakage after any alteration.
AvMap Ultra EFIS 3. System Calibration There are two type of calibration procedures; 1. Horizon alignment calibration 2. Compass calibration 3.1 Horizon alignment calibration (AHRS) Scenario A – Horizon alignment calibration NOT required It is assumed that the Ultra is installed in an instrument panel that is completely perpendicular compared to the level & straight flight attitude and aligned with the lateral axis of the airplane. In this case no horizon alignment calibration is needed.
AvMap Ultra EFIS knob for 5 seconds and release it. Push again the rotor knob, select “CALIBRATE” to enter the calibration menu and select “HORIZON” to enter the horizon menu. In the horizon menu select “ZERO” to calibrate the horizon. After about 2 minutes the horizon line of the Ultra is aligned with the aircrafts straight & level flight attitude.
AvMap Ultra EFIS Compass calibration procedure: STEP 1: Prepare aircraft position and system Taxi the aircraft to the airports compass rose or an open field free from magnetic disturbances. Have the aircraft nose pointed to the magnetic north (0°) radial on the airport compass rose. Note: use a magnetic compass for your reference if you execute the procedure in an open field free from magnetic disturbances). Set the aircraft in level and straight flight attitude by using jacks or blocks.
AvMap Ultra EFIS STEP 4: Calibration calculation for south direction The Ultra display shows: “Point to SOUTH. Press NEXT when ready”. Have the aircraft nose pointed to the magnetic south (180°) radial on the airport compass rose. Set the aircraft in level and straight flight attitude by using jacks or blocks. Let the system stabilize for about 30 seconds and make sure that the aircraft is not moving. Then confirm by pressing “NEXT”.
AvMap Ultra EFIS 4. System Operation 4.1 How to operate the unit The 1. 2. 3. Ultra contains three display modes: PFD mode HSI mode SETUP mode The rotor plus centre click allow to switch from one mode to the other and to select different menu option. At start up the disclaimer page is shown. In the disclaimer page rotate the knob (or push once the rotation knob) to read the disclaimer and confirm by pushing once the rotation knob to enter the PFD mode.
AvMap Ultra EFIS 4.2 PFD mode The PFD shows critical flight information like attitude, airspeed, altitude, as well as other less critical flight variables like turn coordination, heading, load factor. A detailed explanation of each instrument is given in Figure 9.
AvMap Ultra EFIS Altitude is shown in number representation as well as on a vertical tape. Underneath the tape there is a Kollsmann window where the user can adjust the QNH setting. Note: In the “SETUP” menu select your preference unit for altitude: feet (ft), meter (m). Side Slip Indicator is shown with a standard ball indicator. The ball centered on the inner markers corresponds to the aircraft not side slipping. Heading is shown in degrees with respect to magnetic north or true north.
AvMap Ultra EFIS 4.3 HSI display mode The HSI shows navigation data: position, distance, directions, and radials relative to reference navigation points. Figure 10 shows the data layout on the screen: Heading Bug VOR indicator Heading ADF Indicator Wind (Estimated) IAS Ground Speed Current Position Figure 10 VOR Info box Heading Bug ADF Info box Heading is shown in degrees with respect to magnetic north or true north.
AvMap Ultra EFIS Ground Speed (GS) data is based on GPS source. The Ultra can calculate ground speed even in the absence of GPS, with degraded quality; this is indicated by a change in colour (RED) in the ground speed indicator. Note: In the “SETUP” menu select your preference unit for speeds: knots, kph, mph or m/s. Automatic Direction Finder (ADF) is shown with a standard double line needle in green color.
AvMap Ultra EFIS 4.4 SETUP mode To enter the SETUP mode from either the PFD or HSI mode keep the rotation knob pressed for 5 seconds. The SETUP mode provides you information regarding the software version, enabled COM ports, V-speed values and display brightness. In the SETUP mode push the rotation knob to enter the “SETUP” menu: In the “SETUP” menu you can enter the following menu’s: • CALIBRATE: To calibrate the compass and the horizon. • DATABASE: To update the navigation POI’s.
AvMap Ultra EFIS 5. Software update Download the software update file from www.avmap.it and copy the software file on the mSD card. Insert the microSD card into the Ultra while the Ultra is turned OFF. Turn the Ultra ON providing power supply to the device. A message will show on the display: “COPY NEW BINARY?”. Push once the rotation Knob and select “YES” to update the Ultra with the new software, or select “NO” if you don’t want to proceed with the update.
AvMap Ultra EFIS error in the attitude estimation during these high dynamic conditions, but this error is automatically reduced and eliminated even on dynamic conditions (provided limits are not continuously exceeded). If this failure occurs in non-high dynamic conditions, unit requires service. Altimeter failure When the altimeter in the unit is either out of range or not operating correctly the altimeter tape becomes RED.
