1.1.2. Conguration Module (CM)
The Conguration Module contains an EEPROM device that retains system
conguration and calibration data and provides two primary functions:
Retains aircraft-specic conguration information, calibration data, and user •
settings, allowing the PFD to be swapped for service purposes without re-
entering or re-calibrating the installation.
Contains a license key that congures the PFD software features.•
The CM is typically attached to the wire bundle coming out of the D-sub connector on
the system unit.
1.1.3. Remote Sensor Module (RSM)
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 AHRS and ADC. The RSM looks and
mounts like a GPS antenna, and is mounted on the exterior of the fuselage, typically aft
of the cabin.
The RSM contains the following sub-systems:
3D magnetic ux (heading) sensors.•
Orientation accelerometers.•
Outside Air Temperature (OAT) sensor.•
Emergency backup GPS engine and antenna.•
The RSM communicates with the EFD1000 system unit via a digital cable connection.
