NOTE
The RSM is only available for the EFD1000 MFD. The
EFD500 MFD does not include the AHRS and ADC
sensor board.
1.1.2. EFD500 Display
The EFD500 MFD display is similar to the EFD1000 MFD display, but excludes the
ADAHRS, Secondary HSI, and backup battery. The EFD500 can only be used as a Multi-
Function Display (MFD).
1.1.3. Remote Sensor Module (RSM) (EFD1000 MFD only)
The Remote Sensor Module (RSM) is an integral part of the EFD1000 system, and works
together with the display unit sensors as part of the ADAHRS. The RSM looks and
mounts like a GPS antenna, and is typically mounted on the exterior of the fuselage.
(Figure 1-6).
The RSM contains the following sub-systems:
• 3D magnetic ux (heading) sensors.
• Outside Air Temperature (OAT) sensor.
• Emergency backup GPS engine and antenna (optional).
The RSM communicates with the EFD1000 system unit via a digital cable connection.
