Transducer Installation
Oil Pressure Sensor
The EMS-D10 supports several oil pressure sensor installations. The Dynon-supplied sensor and
the Rotax and Jabiru pre-installed sensors are the most common.
DYNON-SUPPLIED OIL PRESSURE SENSOR
First, mount the oil pressure sensor to a fixed location
using an Adel clamp (see picture at lower right) or other
secure method. The oil pressure sensor must not be
installed directly to the engine due to potential vibration
problems. Dynon Avionics’ sensor is supplied with a
1/8” NPT pipe thread fitting. An adapter might be necessary
for some engines. Please see the manual supplied by the
engine’s manufacturer. You must use appropriate pipe fitting
adapters and ensure that the case of the sender has a
connection to ground. This is critical for functionality. Pin Color Function

Crimp a standard #8 ring terminal onto the white/yellow wire
from pin 6. Unscrew the stud cap from the threaded stud.
Place the ring terminal on the stud and secure the cap down
sandwiching the ring terminal.
Due to vibration issues, never connect the sensor
directly to the engine.
If you use Teflon tape or other seal, ensure the sensor
casing still maintains a good connection to ground.

Use an Adel clamp similar to the
above to secure the pressure sensor
JABIRU AND ROTAX OIL PRESSURE
If you are installing on a Jabiru or Rotax engine, your engine
comes with a pre-installed oil pressure sensor.
Prior to mid-2008, Rotax provided an oil pressure sensor with 2
tabs for electrical connection. In mid-2008, Rotax
switched to a new type of oil pressure sensor (Rotax
P/N 956413) with an integrated 2-wire cable. Connect
this newer sensor according to the wiring diagram at
right. Connect the red wire of the new sensor to EMS
DB37 Pin 15 (12V). Connect the white wire of the
new sensor to EMS DB37 Pin 6. Then, connect one
end of a 200Ω resistor to pin 6, and the other end to
ground. The Jabiru and both types of Rotax oil
pressure sensors are compatible with the FlightDEK-
D180. Select the correct sensor type as described in
the Oil Pressure Configuration section on page 5-9.
