3.2 Starting the EXP5000
The EXP5000 includes a solid state Air Data and Attitude Heading
Reference System (ADAHRS) which requires an alignment time
before you are ready for flight.
The EXP5000 is designed to operate during engine start and shut
down procedures. EXP5000 start-up is automatic once power is
applied via the battery switch.
➥
A common startup procedure is to turn on BAT and conduct the
aircraft preflight during the ADAHRS alignment process. The
PFD and the ADAHRS alignment process may restart when
you start the engine.
Approximately 10 seconds after turning on the EXP5000, the AHRS
Alignment message box displays. In addition to AHRS Alignment
messages, the box also displays the aircraft model, product name,
and software part number. The informational messages automatically
transition as described in Table 3.6 on page 23. When warm-up is
complete, the message box is removed.

Typical alignment time is 3 minutes but may take longer if the aircraft
is subjected to motion. Air data (airspeed, altitude, vertical speed) will
become valid prior to attitude data. Engine instruments are available
after EXP5000 start-up. The start-up message block displays a series
of messages as shown in Figure 3.6 on page 23, and is automatically
removed when warm-up is complete.
