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
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), 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.
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
o NAME OPEN
o COLOR RED
o TOP 5.0 VOLTS
o BOTTOM 2.5 VOLTS

RANGE 2
o ENABLE YES
o NAME CLOSED
o COLOR GREEN
o TOP 2.5 VOLTS
o BOTTOM 0.0 VOLTS

RANGE 3
o ENABLE NO
o NAME R3
o COLOR GREEN
o TOP 20.0 VOLTS
o BOTTOM 10.0 VOLTS

RANGE 4
o ENABLE NO
o NAME R4
o COLOR YELLOW
o TOP 10.0 VOLTS
o BOTTOM 5.0 VOLTS

RANGE 5
