ESI-500
Pilot’s Guide
1-2
Description
Functional Description
The ESI-500 has interfaces for input and output of ARINC-429 data,
discrete output, outside air temperature input, dimming bus, RS-485
interface between the ESI-500 and MAG-500, and an I
2
C interface to
the DCM-500.
The battery pack automatically powers the ESI-500 and MAG-500
(if installed) without interruption upon loss of main input power. The
battery pack has three lithium ion cells that are recharged using aircraft
power. The battery pack includes monitoring and safety functionality
that provides continual operational checks and oversight of operation
to ensure the battery cannot be overcharged, overly depleted or
detrimentally charged due to temperature limitations.
Pitot and static pressures are measured through pitot and static ports
located on the rear of the unit.
The Data Configuration Module (DCM-500) is a solid-state device
that retains software and hardware configuration information for the
ESI-500. The DCM-500 is permanently attached to the aircraft via the
wiring harness.
A magnetometer (MAG-500) or an ARINC-429 heading source is
required for the optional display of heading.
Synthetic Vision is a 3-dimensional display of terrain and obstacles,
based on GPS location of the aircraft, attitude, altitude, and heading.
Synthetic Vision provides situational awareness to the pilot by providing
a means to aid in visually acquiring potential impact threats of terrain
and obstacles. Synthetic vision uses a terrain database consisting
of DTED (digital terrain elevation data) and an obstacles database
for the display of obstacles. Terrain is shaded to give dimension to
the terrain, water is shown in blue, and gridlines are shown to aid in
determining relative distances. Terrain coloring gradually varies based
on terrain elevations from green at lower elevations to brown to white
at higher elevations.
