Fit digital instrumentation
Digital instrumentation (EFIS, EMS, radio(s), transponder, intercom, GPS) will usually have
a pre-wired harness and a multi-pin connector fitting at the rear of the instrument.
The
Dynon
brand EFIS displays are supplied with mounting hardware and the fitting method
is to fit the instrument through the panel and lay the panel face down, then place the mounting
bracket over the instrument and carefully mark the position of the mounting holes on the
panel with a sharp drill. Remove the instrument, drill the holes through and fix the mounting
bracket into place with M4 screws and Nyloc nuts and then fit the instrument into the mount.
The photo above shows a
Dynon
D100 EFIS (top) and a D10 EMS (bottom) fitted to a Jumbo
panel. Note the mounting brackets (arrowed) that attach each instrument to the panel.
Finishing
For both the Standard and Jumbo panels you can now fit the intercom unit and faceplate or
sticker, the VHF radio(s) and the transponder to the panel. Each unit is retained by screws that
are supplied with the unit.
Any blank spaces remaining in the panel can be covered with the supplied plate(s) or plugs.
