AvMap Ultra EFIS
1. Overview
Ultra is a complete instrumentation system for primary ight display (PFD) and horizontal
situation indicator (HSI) functions. It is a rugged and reliable system designed for xed panel
installation.

Note: For connection specications see Chapter 2.
ADAHRS
The core of the Ultra is the ADAHRS module. The ADAHRS module contains
solid-state gyros, accelerometers, magnetic eld sensors and air data
sensors, providing attitude, heading, altitude and airspeed data to the system.
In order to take full advantage of its functionality, the Pitot and Static ports should be
connected to the aircraft Pitot-static system.
GPS receiver
Connecting the external GPS receiver to the Ultra, the system provides the pilot with
navigation information on the HSI page , providing its position, direction and radials relative
to reference navigation points.
Preloaded navigation POI’s
Ultra is preloaded with Jeppesen navigation POI’s: Airports, NDB’s and VOR’s.
Coverage available: Europe-Africa, North America, South America, Asia-Australia.
The Jeppesen aeronautical database is updated every 28 days. Updates can be purchased
and downloaded at www.avmap.it.

Micro SD card
A microSD card is included in the Ultra box. The microSD card is a blank card without data preloaded.
The microSD card should be used for software updates and data transfer from/to the Ultra
like updating the navigation POI’s.
Note: For more details see Chapter 4.
Rotation knob
The rotor plus centre click allow to switch from one mode to the other and to select different
menu option.
Note: For more details see Chapter 4 and 5.
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.

AvMap Ultra EFIS
Ultra is designed to be installed in a standard 3 1/8” (79,5 mm) diameter hole.
The instrument has to be installed from the front of the panel and screwed from behind the
panel according to Figure 3.
77,5 mm (3.05”)
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:
5mm ≤ l - t ≤ 8mm
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.

IMPORTANT: Make sure you respect the screw length formula to avoid damaging the
plastic of the Ultra. Use light thread locker to prevent screw loosening with vibration.
Use the Cutting template, included in the box, to cut out the panel. (see Figure 4)

Connections
On the back of the unit there are 3
connectors: the pitot port, the static port,
and the GPS antenna connector.
A free wires power and I/O cable allows
direct connection to main aircraft power
supply and to two external RS232
devices.
Connect the aircraft pitot line to the
port labelled PITOT and the aircraft
static line to the port labelled
STATIC. Make sure the tubes fit tightly
into the ULTRA. Use flexible plastic
tubes with an inside diameter of 5 mm
(0.2 inches).
Connect the GPS receiver included in
the box to the GPS port.
2.3 Connections & wiring
On the back of the unit there are 4 connectors: the Pitot port, the static port, the power supply
connector, and the GPS receiver connector (see Figure 5).

Connection to the Pitot-static system
In order to display accurate speed and altitude data the Ultra needs to be connected to the
aircraft Pitot-static system. The Pitot and static ports on the back of the Ultra are equipped with
1/8” NPT female ttings. To connect the aircraft Pitot and static lines to the Ultra, you must use
standard 1/8” NPT male ttings at the end of each of the lines. Installation along with other
