3 DynaNav Installation Manual Overview of System The DynaFlight-AirAg-E system is a GPS based electronic guidance and data management system specifically designed as a tool for the pilot to fly parallel and free form swath guidance for the application of seeds, fertilizer and chemicals for farm and forestry applications. It also gives guidance to return back to the job to continue his application after refill. The system automatically senses spray on and spray off for recording and displaying the real time map of the application and displays this to the pilot in his heads up display. The system comes with built in satellite differential capability. Mounting GPS Antenna Overview As the GPS antenna has two functions, one, to view the full constellation of orbiting satellites and two, to view the geo-stationary differential broadcast satellite positioned over the equator, the antenna should have as much visibility of the full sky as possible. Placement IMPORTANT!! Make sure that the GPS Antenna is bonded to the Airframe. The GPS antenna should be mounted on top of the aircraft/helicopter and should take into consideration the following. See figures 1, & 2: On helicopters, mount the antenna as far forward on the top as possible while keeping the antenna as flat to the horizon as possible. This is to keep it away from the rotor mast as much as possible as well as lead the pilot to the spot. The antenna should be mounted high enough to see as much of the sky above and around so as the fuselage does not block the signal and as far forward as possible. Mounting on the tail would be a last resort and should only be done if Laser Gyro option is installed in the DynaFlight. Keep as far away from transmitting antennas as possible (at least 12 inches) If this is not possible, please contact DynaNav for recommendations. 2

5 Pilot Display Instrument Overview The pilot display instrument is intended to be a heads-up type of display to be mounted in the field of view of the normal operation of the pilot. As such this DynaViz display has multiple functions including the following: Guidance display to guide pilot on his parallel swaths or free form applications. Pilot display for selecting CUSTOMER, AREA/FIELD, and SWATH WIDTH. A moving map display to show last sprayed location. Rotating Map Navigation. Placement DISPLAY 4

6 The display should be mounted to best suit the requirements of both the pilot and the specific aircraft/helicopter. This should take into consideration the following: It should be in the direct view of the pilot, so as not to obstruct his view outside the aircraft. The sun shroud (used on the EL type display) should be positioned for full screen visibility for the pilot while occluding direct sunlight on the screen. As the bottom mount can be tilted from 0 to 35 degrees to adjust for individual pilot needs, be sure the bottom plate is mounted to allow for individual pilot needs (tall or short). The front of the screen should be oriented to front of helicopter/aircraft to give guidance information that relates to helicopter/aircraft flight direction. Make sure that the bottom of the DynaViz is open to the air and that Air Cooling hose is directed to the Bottom of the Screen for adequate air circulation. Product features The connector plug for the DynaViz display can be switched from side to side to meet installation requirements whether harness enters from either left or right side. As the display represents the ground view, the display should be mounted as horizontal as possible so as the pilot can see the complete screen. The EL display can be viewed a quite extreme angles and can use either the tunnel sun shroud or the angled sun shroud. The connector plug is a LEMO connector that is simply pushed on (align red dots first) and to remove simply grab the knurled connector sleeve and pull off. 5

7 Control Grip or Switches Overview The control grip contains three primary switches that control the entire system. On our supplied ErgoGrip, two of these switches are contained in the single 5 way Top Hat switch and the other on a push button Trigger switch. It is the intention of the system for the pilot to have access to these switches on his grip, cyclic or his collective or a combination of both. Other than these switches, the DynaFlight system is wired to the I/O Control box to sense spray on/off or other actions. Placement The supplied ErgoGrip is to replace the existing control grip on the flight control stick. The Tophat and the lower Trigger (Enter) switches are used for the operation of the DynaFlight others are for your use. If the grip, cyclic or collective have a spare Top Hat switch, it can be wired directly to the connector on the I/O Control box along with two other push buttons for the accept and the window operation. If the I/O Control box is used, it should be attached to the collective such as to not interfere with the normal operation and so the top hat can be operated with the thumb. 6

9 I/O Control box Overview The I/O Control box has multiple functions to interface the aircraft and the pilot to the DynaNav system. These functions are as follows: To interface to sense the spray on/off of the aircraft system. To protect the DynaNav from the electrical spikes generated by the relay action To protect the DynaNav system from static discharge on the control switches. To interface multiple styles of control switch assemblies or to the ErgoGrip control grip. Placement The I/O Control box is connected directly to the DynaFlight interface harness (approximately 2 70cm). From the I/O Control box two harnesses are connected, the spray on/off sense line and the control switch cable assembly. Wiring The I/O Control box wiring harness has 3 sets of wires; For most installations only Spray1 is connected to handle or pressure switches to sense that the pilot is applying material. For Pressure switches on the Spray Boom, make sure the pressure is well within the range of the normal boom pressure for spraying. The Cessna P/N S Hobbs pressure switch can be adjusted to the right pressure. You can also use a Honeywell/Hobbs P/N which is the same.
