Example Contact Sensor Setup
Assume this sensor was mapped on the Sensor Input Mapping Wizard as:
PIN #
FUNCTION
SENSOR
NAME
C37 P9
CANOPY
Contact
CANOPY
Table 65 – Example Sensor Input Mapping for C37 P9 (as a Contact)
Now, we want to configure its alert and graphical properties. Go to the Sensor Setup Menu and
open the CANOPY CONTACT Page (SETUP MENU > EMS SETUP > SENSOR SETUP > CANOPY
CONTACT).
Note that although inputs set up as contacts can physically accept up to 15V (so
that they can accept nominal aircraft voltage as one of their two states), and up
30V DC as a brief surge, without damaging the input. However, the maximum the
EMS can measure is 5.0V. This means that as depicted below, the two measured
ranges should be set to 0-2.5V and 2.5-5V to measure the absence and presence
of power.
Canopy Contact is a special case input. If a configuration file is loaded containing:
canopy_warn_rpm=XXXX
(where that's something between 0 and 9999) then the audio warning “Check
Canopy Latch” will play if the engine RPM exceeds the specified RPM level and the
canopy input is in the open state. One may generate a .dfg file with only this line,
place it on an USB flash drive and load it in SETUP MENU > SYSTEM SOFTWARE >
LOAD FILES
Configure CANOPY CONTACT with the following properties:
 ALARM: OFF
 MAXIMUM GRAPHICAL DISPLAY: 5.0 VOLTS
 MINIMUM GRAPHICAL DISPLAY: 0.0 VOLTS
 RANGE 1
o ENABLE YES
