2. Installation
The installation procedure is divided in the following steps:
•
Location
Mechanical installation •
Connections & wiring•
2.1 Location
The Ultra is designed to be installed on the aircrafts instrument panel.
It is assumed that the instrument panel is completely perpendicular to the level and straight
ight attitude.
In case the instrument panel is rotated the simple horizon alignment calibration procedure
is required.
Note: For calibration see Chapter 3.
IMPORTANT: The Ultra contains a magnetometer and other precision electrical sensors.
The location selected for installation should be clear of strong magnetic or electromagnetic
disturbances as much as possible. Avoid installing the Ultra near electronic equipment (other
digital EFIS, radios, transponders, etc), AC or variable DC cables, alternators, electrical
motors, ferrous materials, etc. In such cases the proper behaviour of the compass is not
guaranteed (i.e. the compass may be crossed as “out of order” or may give erroneous
indications).
Hint: use a hand-held compass to verify the magnetic disturbance in the area selected for
installation. If the needle shows relevant changes or unstable indication, the location is not
suitable for installation. Make sure to perform this test with all on-board electronic devices
switched ON.
2.2 Mechanical installation
Make sure you have enough space on the front and behind the cockpit panel to install the
Ultra. Check the Ultra measurements on Figure 2.

The screw length that need to be used for panel installation depend on the panel thickness
and is based on the following formula:
7mm ≤ l - t ≤ 10mm
l = length of the screw
t = thickness of the panel
Use the screws and metal washer included in the box for standard panel thickness of up to 3mm. For
thicker instrument panels, use longer screws and use the formula to choose the right screw length.

Connect the Pitot line to the port labeled PITOT and the static line to the port labeled STATIC.
Make sure the tubes t tightly into the Ultra.
IMPORTANT: Use exible plastic tubes with an inside diameter of 5 mm (0,2 inches).
IMPORTANT: We recommend to test the Pitot-static system for leakage after any
alteration.
External GPS receiver connection
Connect the external GPS receiver, included in the box, on the back side of the Ultra to the
GPS port as shown on Figure 5.
The GPS receiver comes with a 1,5 meter cable and is designed for use inside the aircraft.
Note: an additional gps extension cable of 2 meter is available.
The GPS receiver can be mounted to any convenient surface that has a clear view of the
sky. It can be mounted on the aircraft’s dashboard using the included Velcro strip. The GPS
receiver must have a clear view of the sky in order to receive satellite signals. GPS uses “line
of sight” signals to locate and track satellites.
If the signals are obstructed by dense objects such as aluminum, steel or even heavy ice,
the Ultra will not operate properly. Signals may also be blocked by heated wind screens
(breglass, plexiglass and other plastics are normally transparent to GPS signals). If you
nd that the Ultra does not locate GPS FIX quickly or consistently, moving the location of the
GPS receiver a few inches often provides a better view of the sky.
Power supply
IMPORTANT: Power the Ultra from an 10 to 35 Vdc supply. Mount on the power wire
(RED) the 1A fuse holder, provided in the box, to protect against short circuits.
Serial Connection
The Ultra has serial RS232 connection ports to interface to an external device.
Note: current software 5.14 does not support serial in/out interface.

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 ight attitude and aligned with the lateral axis of the
airplane.
In this case no horizon alignment calibration is needed.
Level & Straight Flight Attitude
Lateral Axis
Longitude Axis
Figure 7
Normal or Vertical Axis
Scenario B - horizon alignment calibration required
In case the Ultra is installed in an instrument panel that is aligned with the aircraft lateral
axis, but not perpendicular to the straight & level ight attitude, the simple horizon alignment
calibration procedure must be executed.
Horizon alignment calibration procedure
Execute this calibration procedure to align the horizon line of the Ultra with the aircrafts
straight & level ight attitude.
The procedure needs to be performed on the ground and can be started from the “SYSTEM“
menu.
Set the aircraft in level and straight ight attitude by using jacks or blocks (or by asking a
friend to push or lift the tail and hold).
Enter the SETUP mode (see chapter 4 System operation) by keeping pressed the rotation
User and Installation Manual - 11
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 ight attitude.
IMPORTANT: If after the rst attempt the horizon is not aligned with the aircrafts straight &
level ight attitude, execute the horizon calibration again but before executing the calibration
rst restore the horizon to “DEFAULT” in the horizon menu.
IMPORTANT: If you want to restore horizon calibration to the factory default (scenario A),
select “DEFAULT” in the horizon menu.
IMPORTANT: After a cold startup of the device it may happen that the horizon shows an
offset with respect to proper calibration. Wait 2 minutes to let the electronic sensors stabilize
before operating the system.
3.2 Compass calibration (magnetometer)
The purpose of this procedure is to compensate magnetic disturbances the Ultra is subject
to, due to aircraft metal structures and electromagnetic components. These disturbances, if
not compensated, could alter the heading value provided by the system.
For this reason the magnetometer is disabled before the magnetometer calibration procedure
is executed.
The procedure requires to point the aircraft nose in 4 directions (north, east, south and west
oriented to magnetic north). The total duration for this procedure is about 20 minutes.
IMPORTANT: When the magnetometer of the Ultra is not enabled the Ultra uses GPS
source to show COG (course over ground) on the compass. To enable compass heading it
is necessary to calibrate the magnetometer. In case both GPS and magnetometer sources
are lost the compass becomes RED and is out of order.
IMPORTANT: Before you proceed with the compass calibration, make sure that the horizon
line of the Ultra is aligned with the aircrafts straight & level ight attitude (see paragraph 3.1)
IMPORTANT: The compass calibration procedure must be executed in an open eld clean
of magnetic disturbances (we recommend at the compass rose of your airport).
Note: Most airports have a compass rose, which is a series of lines marked out on a ramp
or maintenance run up area where there is no magnetic interference. Lines, oriented to
magnetic north, are painted every 30° which is used to perform a compass calibration.
Compass calibration procedure:
STEP 1: Prepare aircraft position and system
12 - User and Installation Manual
AvMap Ultra EFIS
User and Installation Manual - 13
AvMap Ultra EFIS
Taxi the aircraft to the airports compass rose or an open eld 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
eld free from magnetic disturbances).
Set the aircraft in level and straight ight attitude by using jacks or blocks.
Note: Make sure that the horizon line of the Ultra is aligned with the aircrafts straight & level
ight attitude.
IMPORTANT: Perform this test with all on-board electronic devices switched ON.
IMPORTANT: Let the Ultra system warm up and stabilize for about 5 minutes before
starting the calibration.
IMPORTANT: Check on the HSI display if the Ultra receives a GPS x.
Note: in case of no GPS reception the Ultra reports on the PFD and HSI page in RED “NO
GPS”.
STEP 2: Calibration calculation for north direction
Enter the SETUP mode by keeping the rotation knob pressed for 5 seconds and release
(see chapter 4 for further details). Push again the rotor knob, select “CALIBRATE” to enter
the calibration menu, then select “COMPASS” and select “CALIBRATE” (“Mag clear done”
message will pop up on the display).
The Ultra display shows: “Point to NORTH. Press NEXT when ready”.
Make sure that the aircraft nose is pointed to the magnetic north (0°) radial on the airport
compass rose and make sure that the aircraft is not moving. Then conrm by pressing
“NEXT”.
Note: The calibration calculation for north direction will start and a counter will inform of the
progress.
STEP 3: Calibration calculation for east direction
The Ultra display shows: “Point to EAST. Press NEXT when ready”.
Have the aircraft nose pointed to the magnetic east (90°) radial on the airport compass
rose.
Set the aircraft in level and straight ight attitude by using jacks or blocks.
Let the system stabilize for about 30 seconds and make sure that the aircraft is not moving.
Then conrm by pressing “NEXT”.
Note: The calibration calculation for east direction will start and a counter will inform of the
progress.
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
User and Installation Manual - 13
AvMap Ultra EFIS
rose.
Set the aircraft in level and straight ight attitude by using jacks or blocks.
Let the system stabilize for about 30 seconds and make sure that the aircraft is not moving.
Then conrm by pressing “NEXT”.
Note: The calibration calculation for south direction will start and a counter will inform of the
progress.
STEP 5: Calibration calculation for west direction
The Ultra display shows: “Point to WEST. Press NEXT when ready”.
Have the aircraft nose pointed to the magnetic west (270°) radial on the airport compass
rose.
Set the aircraft in level and straight ight attitude by using jacks or blocks.
Let the system stabilize for about 30 seconds and make sure that the aircraft is not moving.
Then conrm by pressing “NEXT”.
Note: The calibration calculation for west direction will start and a counter will inform of the
progress.
STEP 6: Check compass calibration
At the end of the calibration process the Ultra will conrm if the magnetometer is calibrated
successfully.
The message “Calibration done” will pop up.
Note: In the SETUP page after COM 1 will be written “ENABLED MAG”.
IMPORTANT: Don’t power off the system. Let the system stabilize for about 15 minutes
before moving the aircraft.
Note: In the “SETUP” menu you can choose to display compass heading in reference to
magnetic north or true north (see chapter 4).
Note: If the calibration fails or the compass indicator is not enabled, repeat the calibration
procedure. If several calibration attempts fails review the installation location of the
Ultra. Magnetic disturbance could be too high in the area selected.

6. Alarms and Trouble shooting
Magnetometer not calibrated or not operating correctly
When the magnetometer is either not calibrated or not operating correctly, the compass
on the PFD and HSI display becomes RED.
It can occur sporadically during flight and it is not problematic, as the unit continues to
estimate heading correctly using gyroscopic and other internal means. Magnetometer
failures on start-up or during prolonged periods lead to incorrect heading readings.
What to do?
Perform magnetometer calibration. If the problem persists, and the magnetometer is
external, check connection. If problem persists, relocate magnetometer in the aircraft
according to installation instructions and recalibrate. If problem still persists, external
magnetometer or unit might require service.
GPS failure
During the Ultra start-up and until a GPS fix is acquired, the GPS position field on
the HSI display will indicate GPS error in RED. If the GPS fails during operation, the
same condition is indicated. The unit can continue calculating position with degraded
precision in absence of GPS.
What to do?
Allow for some time (up to 3 minutes) for the GPS to acquire first fix. If failure persists
after this point, verify GPS antenna connection.
AHRS failure
When the PFD display mode becomes totally RED there is a AHRS failure. This failure
occurs when the unit exceeds any of the following limits: 1600deg/s (all axis) and 8g
(all axis).
What to do?
This failure should only occur during high dynamics in flight. The unit will accumulate
User and Installation Manual - 21
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.
What to do?
If the altitude is within the limits of the unit (as quoted in the specifications), check for a
static port blockage. If the static port is not obstructed, the unit requires service.
Unit failure
When the PFD and HSI display modes show a RED cross the system is not operative.
This failure indicates that the sensor system on the unit is no longer speaking to the
symbol generator CPU.
What to do?
This problem can occur because the unit is configured wrong, because the software
on the device inside it has been erased, or because of an internal failure. The first
two causes can be solved by updating the software with the latest available software
version. If a software update doesn’t resolve the failure the Ultra requires service at
AvMap facility.
