IFD Installation Considerations

IFD Installation Considerations• Items that may require additional wiring

• IFD Aural Alerting

• FLTA (Forward Looking Terrain Alerting)

• TOD Chime (Top of descent)

• 500’ call out

• NOTE: Wiring is not necessary if the aircraft already has an

EGPWS or other ground proximity warning system that the owner

would like to continue using. FLTA must be disabled.

If the IFD is replacing a GNS unit that was previously TAWS

enabled, these wires are likely already present

ARS in the IFD550 must be calibrated

IFD Installation Considerations

IFD Installation Considerations• Items that may require additional wiring

• Standby Com Monitor

• Allows the Standby Com Frequency to be monitored in the

headsets when connected to a capable audio panel.

• N/A on IFD510/545/410

IFD Models and RADAR • RDR2000 Option on IFD5xx units

• RDR can display on 4xx units if IFD’s are cross-sync’d

IFD Installation Troubleshooting

Installation Troubleshooting• IFD5xx/4xx

• Mx Mode in 10.2.0 and later

• ARINC429 and RS-232 Input Data Monitors

IFD Installation Troubleshooting• Demo Mode

• The IFD can be put into demo mode at any time while on the

ground for familiarization purposes.

• Entry into demo mode is accessed via inserting a USB fob with a

dummy file called “DEMO” (no file type suffix and no quotes) prior

to power application.

• Power up the IFD with that fob inserted and the IFD will boot to the

following screen.

• While in demo mode, the IFD will “fly” the active flight plan in the

FMS including any altitude constraints that may be part of the flight

plan.

• The starting point of demo mode is whatever location is entered in

the flight plan origin and changing the origin location while in demo

mode will jump the location to the origin coordinates.
