On the EGT value itself it might be difficult to find errors, BUT the wrong GROUNDED thermocouple sensor probe will cause erratic readings in all other engine parameters measured by the EngibOX (RPM, OIL P, OIL T, CHT).

Use a digital tester in "continuity test" mode (you can set it moving the rotor to the icon with the "speaker" symbol).

First test the digital tester itself:  Touch the red and black metallic points one with the other one and verify there is continuity (you will hear a "beep" sound).
Then test the thermocouple sensor probe with the Digital tester:
Place one contact of the digital tester on one of thermocouple wires (metallic part).
Place the other contact of the digital tester on the metallic part of the sensor probe that is in contact with engine.
If the digital tester detect that there is electrical continuity you hear the "beep" sound and you know that the thermocouple is grounded and not supported by the EngiBOX. If there is no electrical continuity you and you will not hear the "beep" sound you know that the thermocouple is ungrounded and supported by the EngiBOX.

 NO. EngiBOX supports only UNGROUNDED thermocouple sensor probes.

1. Press and hold the knob for 5 seconds, the Menu page will appear.
To go back to the main pages, press again for 5 seconds, or wait: the Menu page will be closed automatically after 10 seconds of inactivity.
2. Rotate the knob to select About item and press to confirm
3. In the about page you can read: the EngiBOX ID, Boot version, Loader version, Software version, Engine
type, Total lifetime of the engine and Time since last overhaul.


IMPORTANT: the EngiBOX ID is needed to register your EngiBOX through the EngiBOX APP, in order to download data and get customer support.

I connected the Geosat to the PC and launched Geosat Suite, Suite shows this message:

"Data on Navigator may be corrupted. Please follow these steps in order to restore the data integrity"

I follow the procedure but, as the Suite restars, always show the same message.

 

In this case you have to update the software manually (it means without using Geosat Suite).

As first step you have to download the "SWUpdate.zip folder" using the link below 

http://cloud.avmap.us/suite/SW/C03/SWUpdate.zip

 

After downloading it on you PC, unzip the folder to obtain the unzipped "SWUpdate".

Then delete the zipped folder SWUpdate.zip.

 

Into the SWUpdate folder you will find other 2 folders:

 

SD

NAND

 

Connect Geosat 6 to the PC and do not launch the Suite.

 

ATTENTION: Now it is required to find, the 2 disks "removible disk" and "local disk" of your Geosat 6.

As connected Geosat 6 to the PC, these 2 disks should appear on the "My Computer" section. Each one is identified by a letter, for istance:

 

Removible Disk (F):

Local Disk (G):

 

( for Mac OSX users: on Mac system you will not find removible disk and local disk, but, as connected Geosat 6 to the computer, on the Desktop of the Mac you will find 2 new disks, named NONAME and UNNAME )

 

The 2 disks have also a different content; removible disk can be recognized because it is the one that contains the following folders:

 

CHARTS

Geosat6

Loquendo

Voice

 

Local disk instead will contain the following files and folders:

 

MP4 (folder)

Languages (folder)

Geosat6Start.exe (file)

OS.ver (file)

Serialcode.dat (file)

 

Now it is possible to copy the files and folders to recover all the system.

Open the removible disk and in the same time open the "SD" folder previously downloaded.

 

Copy the content of the SD folder into the removible disk:

IMPORTANT: you do not have to copy the SD "folder" directly, but you have to:

 

- open the SD folder

- select all folders you can find inside

- copy and paste all these folders into the removible disk of the navigator

 

(For Mac OSX users: copy the content of the "SD" folder into the disk that already contains the folders: Geosat6, FONTS, Loquendo.. etc)

 

If the copy and paste have been done successfully, the computer should ask you to overwrite the existing folders, then it will be sufficient to confirm the overwriting of these

folders to complete the procedure.

 

Then open the NAND folder and copy the content into the local disk of the navigator (the other disk we described here above).

 

Follow the same identical operation and suggestions provided for the removible disk.

 

(For Mac OSX users: copy the content of the NAND folder into the disk that already contains the folders MP4, Languages, .. etc)

 

The last step of the procedure is the restart of the Operative System of the unit:

 

RESTART OF THE OPERATIVE SYSTEM OF THE UNIT:

After the copying of the files as described above, remove safetly the unit from PC and disconnect the USB cable.

Start the unit and wait the main page loading. The main page of the Geosat is the blue page with the 2 main icons (Navigation and MultiMedia reader).

Then connect the Geosat 6 to the wall power cable.

 

Now use 2 pens or 2 pointed objects and follow this procedure:

 

- with one of the pointed object press and hold the button that is into the little hole near the SD slot card (it is on the low part of the unit, 

  it is the hole without lables or writtens) and DO NOT release it.

- with the other pointed object press (only one time) the button that is into the little hole with "reset" indication.

 

- Now the display of the unit should switch to a blue page with some percentage counters 0%-100%. If yes please RELEASE ALSO THE FIRST BUTTON and wait that the unit restarts automatically. If yes it means that also the Operative System have been correctly restarted and the unit should show again the main page (the one with the 2 main icons (Navigation and MultiMedia reader).

 

If you are in trouble with last procedure please download the video tutorial from this link:

http://cloud.avmap.us/download/OSG6_restart.mp4

(If after pressing the restart buttons you will receive an error message on the display of the unit, please write an email to [email protected] specifying the title

of this Faq, the error message you receive and communicate the MOD number of the unit itself. The MOD number is reported on the paper label of the unit itself and it is like

P1Mxxxxx. AvMap Technical Support operators will reply you providing the correct link to use for the downloading of the "SWUpdate.zip" folder specific for your unit).

 

After this last procedure click on the Navigation icon and enter into the internal Navigation system to check if everything is ok:

Click on Menu - System Info - Software: you must have:

 

Software: 2.29.286R

OS: 1.3.73R

 

If yes it means that the update of the Software and of the Operative System have been concluded correctly.

AvMap Suite for EKP V is not compatible with Linux, but is compatible with Windows (minimum requirement Windows ME) and Mac OSX too (minimum requirement Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard 2009 )

It is possible to convert the data stored in the EKP / Geopilot to a gpx format and vice versa, in order to view them in Google Earth or other mapping software, using the GPX CONVERTER tool, that can be downloaded for free form the AvMap website.

1. Download The GPS Converter here!

2. Unzip the file and extract the exe file together with the instructions.

 

Conversion from USRIMG to GPX
 

1. Extract the memory card form the navigator and read it with a memory card reader

2. Copy from the memory card the USRIMG.BIN file and save it in your PC.

3. Run the Converter.exe then press the "USERIMG to GPX" button on the program console.

4. Select the USRIMG.BIN file to be converted ( previously saved on your PC), then select the destination folder in which the GPX files will be created.
In that folder will be saved GPX format copies of the user data stored in the USERIMG.BIN file.
NOTE : each user data will be stored in a different GPX file. In case an object in the USRIMG.BIN file stores more than one route, several GPX files will be created, each with one route.

Conversion from GPX to USRIMG
 

1. Run the Converter.exe thenPress "GPX to USERIMG" on the program console

2. Select the GPX file to be converted ( previously saved on your PC)

3. Select the empty USRIMG.BIN file present in the GPS Converter folder (the GPX file will be converted and inserted in this file)

4. Extract the memory card form the navigator and read it with a memory card reader and then Copy the newly modified USERIMG.BIN file in the main folder of the memory card.

In order to see the new data on the navigator, load them using File Manager function.
An empty USRIMG file is included, but also not empty files can be used as well. New data will be added to them until the maximum capacity will be reached.
NOTE : due to memory restraints the space available in the USRIMG.BIN file for user data is limited. No more than 1000 Waypoints, 5000 Track points and 100 legs routes can be saved from a single file and no more than 60 files can be stored in an USRIMG.BIN

The Farmnavigator Auto-steering System controls your vehicle steering, and helps you stay on track following with great precision the guide lines set on the Farmnavigator.

This way, you can switch from the "light bar" system to automatic driving, meaning you can focus on controlling the implements instead of worrying about the steering wheel, which improves the quality and effectiveness of the job. Such a system is very useful in scarce visibility conditions, in case of fog and dusty fields.

You can disengage the auto steering by firmly grasping the steering wheel; vice versa you can engage it very easily by tapping the corresponding icon on the Farmnavigator display.

The Farmnavigator Autosteering system supports all vehicle interface types: Mechanical, ISO/CAN,
Hydraulic and Factory steer ready. Custom install kits are available to simplify installation for over 750 models of agricultural machines.
The MDU mounts on existing steering wheel without requiring its removal thanks to the Patented universal ring gear. The MDU simply clamps on and off for fast and easy transfer across vehicles of different brands and types (tractors, sprayers, spreaders or combines).

There are two types of calibration procedures:

1. Horizon alignment calibration:
execute this calibration procedure to align the horizon line of the Ultra with the aircrafts straight & level flight attitude.

2. Compass calibration:
The purpose of this procedure is to compensate magnetic disturbances the Ultra is subject to, due to aircraft metal structures and electromagnetic components. These disturbances, if not compensated, could alter the heading value provided by the system. For this reason the magnetometer is disabled before the magnetometer calibration procedure is executed.
The procedure requires to point the aircraft nose in 4 directions (north, east, south and west
oriented to magnetic north). The total duration for this procedure is about 20 minutes.
The procedure is described in the user manual.

IMPORTANT: When the magnetometer of the Ultra is not enabled the Ultra uses GPS
source to show COG (course over ground) on the compass. To enable compass heading it
is necessary to calibrate the magnetometer. In case both GPS and magnetometer sources
are lost the compass becomes RED and is out of order.

IMPORTANT: Before you proceed with the compass calibration, make sure that the horizon
line of the Ultra is aligned with the aircrafts straight & level flight attitude (see paragraph 3.1)

IMPORTANT: The compass calibration procedure must be executed in an open field clean
of magnetic disturbances (we recommend at the compass rose of your airport).
Note: Most airports have a compass rose, which is a series of lines marked out on a ramp
or maintenance run up area where there is no magnetic interference. Lines, oriented to
magnetic north, are painted every 30° which is used to perform a compass calibration.

You can power the Ultra EFIS from an 10 to 35 Vdc supply.
Mount on the power wire (RED) the 1A fuse holder, provided in the box, to protect against short circuits.

Yes, the Ultra EFIS comes with an External GPS receiver.

Connect the external GPS receiveron the back side of the Ultra to the GPS port. The GPS receiver comes with a 1,5 meter cable and is designed for use inside the aircraft.

Note: an additional gps extension cable of 2 meter is available. The GPS receiver can be mounted to any convenient surface that has a clear view of the sky. It can be mounted on the aircraft’s dashboard using the included Velcro strip. The GPS receiver must have a clear view of the sky in order to receive satellite signals. GPS uses “line of sight” signals to locate and track satellites.
If the signals are obstructed by dense objects such as aluminum, steel or even heavy ice, the Ultra will not operate properly. Signals may also be blocked by heated wind screens (fibreglass, plexiglass and other plastics are normally transparent to GPS signals). If you find that the Ultra does not locate GPS FIX quickly or consistently, moving the location of the GPS receiver a few inches often provides a better view of the sky.

The Pitot and static ports on the back of the Ultra are equipped with 1/8” NPT female fittings. To connect the aircraft Pitot and static lines to the Ultra, you must use standard 1/8” NPT male fittings at the end of each of the lines. Installation along with other mechanical or digital altimeters and airspeed indicators is supported by mean of a T coupler (not included in the Ultra box).
Connect the Pitot line to the port labeled PITOT and the static line to the port labeled STATIC.

IMPORTANT: Use flexible plastic tubes and make sure the tubes fit tight on the NPT Pitot and static ports and can not get loose due to vibration.

IMPORTANT: We recommend to test the Pitot-static system for leakage after any alteration.

The EKP V switches on automatically everytime the aircraft engine is started: this is the normal EKP V behaviour when you switch it off using the power button.

The Docking Station includes a protection circuit to protect the system form overfeeding. We suggest anyway to avoid high electric discharge , e.g. a voltage 10 times ahigher than the allowed 12-35V could damage the system hardware. To avoid this you may want to add a switch between the docking station and the aircraft electrical system.

This may be due to the fact that there is a new version of the AvMap Suite available, please check the upper bar on the Suite Home page, and make sure you have downloaded and installed the latest Suite version. 
An important update is the one introduced with Suite Version 1.3.41R (Windows) / 1.0.41R (MacOS)  released the 06/10/2013.

At the end of the procedure the maps will be correctly displayed  in the right column (purchases) of the Suite’s  Map management page, and they could be loaded on the navigator.

The map statuses can be 3:
-    Green: the map is u -to-date ( it is the latest released)
-    Red: the map is not up-to-date ( a new release is available)
-   Yellow: it is not possible to determine the validity of your map because the navigator has never been used. Please use the navigator first , getting a GPS fix position at a certain speed and then re-connect the EKP V to the PC.


Beside the status, you may see a green rosette meaning you have are guarantee for free the latest released map. In facts, when you buy a new AvMap navigator, you get the New Map Guarantee: that means you are guarantee for free the latest released map.

If a newer map is released by AvMap within 30 days from your first  use, the New map Guarantee allows you to download it for free using the Suite PC application.
You have 30 days from the first usage of your new AvMap navigator  (from the first acquisition of satellites at a certain speed)  to download  the Suite  and check if a new map is available for you for free! You can download only one free map for your navigator.
If the navigator has never been used it is impossible to determine the validity of the map, thus the yellow status map appears.

This may be due to the fact that there is a new version of the Geosat Suite available, please check the upper bar on the Suite Home page, and make sure you have downloaded and installed the latest Suite version. 
A important update is the one introduced with Suite Version 1.5.46R (Windows) / 1.0.41R (MacOS) released the 06/10/2013.
