5.10.3 Dimming Bus Setup
On all aircraft, you can configure the LEDs on the bezel to better match the other cockpit instrument
lights on the aircraft dimming bus.
➤
To set the dimming bus:
1. Highlight the Brightest dimming voltage selection. An additional button, Set, appears below the
Save button.
2. Adjust the Airplane dimming bus (usually a knob) to the full bright level. Monitor the dimming bus
voltage on the MFD below the selection boxes. When at full bright, press
Set to update the
highlighted field.
3. Highlight the Darkest dimming voltage selection and adjust the airplane dimming bus to a level so
that the other cockpit instruments are at their lowest brightness level.
4. Press Set again to update the Darkest dimming voltage field.
Note:
Set the brightness level at the same point where other panel instruments transition from dim
(night) to bright (day) operation.
Dimming Bus Checkout
Restart the MFD. Adjust the aircraft dimming bus and verify that the MFD bezel LEDs match the rest of
the cockpit instrument lamps and lights.
