1. About the EX5000 MFD
The Avidyne Multi-Function Display, or MFD, is a single unit computer system mounted in an aircraft
instrument panel in the pilot's view that interfaces to various aircraft avionics. The MFD increases pilot
situational awareness and enhances flight safety by providing supplementary navigation, traffic,
terrain, airspace, weather, engine, and approach chart information.
The EX5000-Series MFDs are intended for use as a supplementary situational awareness device.
The EX5000 contains software developed in accordance with RTCA/DO-178B Level D requirements.
A complete Entegra or Envision EX5000-Series Multi-Function Display system consists of the
following components:
•Avidyne Entegra or Envision EX5000-Series Multi-Function Display (MFD).
•System installation kit, including MFD assembly and necessary connectors.
•User documentation including Pilot's Guide, Installation Manual, and Instructions for
Continued Airworthiness.
1.1 Standard Functionality
MFD standard functionality available on the EX5000:
•A GPS interface to provide position, velocity, and flight plan data to the MFD.
•The MFD displays the current aircraft position and active flight plan graphically overlaid on
the moving map comprised of terrain, geo-political boundaries, airspace, navaids, airports,
airways, and obstacles.
•The MFD displays the current active flight plan in textual format.
1.2 Optional Functionality
The following features are optional for the EX5000. However, they may not be available for all aircraft:
•External traffic detection system—Allows the MFD to display a pictorial representation of
nearby transponder-equipped aircraft overlaid on the moving map display.
•External lightning detection system—Allows the MFD to present a visual display of lightning
strikes or cells overlaid on the moving map display.
•External Engine Data Acquisition Unit (DAU) or Sensor Interface Unit (SIU)—Allows the
MFD to display the aircraft engine gauges and other Engine Page functions, and provides engine
leaning assistance.
•External Mini Data Acquisition Unit (Mini-DAU)— Allows the MFD to display rudder trim,
generator and alternate current, and bus voltage.
Note: Avidyne Iridium MLX770 support has been discontinued. Release 8.2 software does not
support the MLX770 Datalink transceiver.
•Broadcast Datalink receiver—Allows the MFD to display strategic weather and airspace
information in graphical and textual formats.
Note: Avidyne MLB700 Weather Datalink receiver support has been discontinued. Release 8.2
software does not support the MLB700 Datalink receiver. XM weather using the Heads Up
XMD-076 and ADS-B FIS-B weather are supported.
•External Terrain Awareness and Warning System (TAWS)—Allows the MFD to display
EGPWS terrain image data on a TAWS page.
•Terminal and Procedure Chart Data (CMaxCharts)—Optional charts available from Jeppesen
Sanderson, Inc. provide terminal and procedure charts at the touch of a button.

•External Digital Radar Receiver/Transmitter—Allows the MFD to display radar image data on a
radar page or overlaid on the moving map display.
•ADS-B FIS-B Weather and Traffic — Displays FIS-B weather and ADS-B traffic when interfaced
to Avidyne SkyTrax100 ADS-B Receiver or Freeflight FDL-978-RX Ranger ADS-B Receiver.
Note: ADS-B weather and traffic are supported in Release 8.2 or later.

2. General Information
This manual contains information about the physical, mechanical, electrical characteristics, and
installation instructions for part numbers:
•700-00030-() - Landscape MFD
•700-00004-() - Landscape or Portrait MFD
This manual applies to EX5000-Series MFDs with software listed in Table 11: MFD Hardware and
Software Part Numbers
To obtain maximum performance from the MFD, follow the installation instructions carefully.
MFD operating information is contained in the Entegra or Envision EX5000-Series MFD Pilot's Guide,
which is supplied with the MFD.
Avidyne strongly recommends that avionics installers review the Pilot’s Guide before operating the
MFD.
The current version is available on the web at www.avidyne.com.
Note: The conditions and tests required for TSO approval of this article are minimum
performance standards. It is the responsibility of those installing this article either on or
within a specific type or class of aircraft to determine that the aircraft installation conditions
are within the TSO standards. TSO articles must have separate approval for installation in
aircraft. The article may be installed only if the installation is performed in accordance with
Part 43 or the applicable airworthiness requirements.
Caution: AC 20-68B, Recommended Radiation Safety, sets forth recommended radi-
ation safety precautions to be taken by personnel when operating airborne weather
radar on the ground. Dangers from ground operation of airborne weather radar in-
clude the possibility of human body damage and ignition of combustible material by
radiated energy. The full text of this FAA Advisory Circular may be found on the web
at http://faa.gov/RegulatoryAdvisory/ac_index.htm.

•Landscape
•Portrait
In all configurations, part number 700-00004 has the following attributes:
•Two control knobs.
•Four ARINC 429 ports. Each port can be individually set to transmit (TX) or receive (RX).
•Two ARINC 453 ports, both set to receive (RX)
The 700-00030-() MFD with dual-concentric knobs is available only in landscape format.
In all configurations, part number 700-00030 has the following attributes:

The EX5000 MFD provides a simple scaling and smoothing mechanism to
overlay NEXRAD on a variable range moving map in a distinctive, easy to
interpret format. At large map ranges, small areas of high-intensity NEXRAD
may not be displayed.
On the map page, the MFD is capable of displaying a number of weather data
products, including NEXRAD, graphical METARs, SIGMET and AIRMET areas,
and various forecast products. Of these, only NEXRAD displays product age.
Product Update Unavailable reports are consolidated onto a single page. The
text “FIS-B” and “Product Updates Unavailable” is used as a title and removed
from the individual decoded text messages for readability.

2.4 Configuration Options
To support the many sensor types encountered in the typical aircraft installation, the installer must
configure the EX5000 for the sensor type and select the correct port configuration. Table 7 lists
sensor options and their associated port configurations. This data may be used when executing
Maintenance Mode sensor setup utilities. Port selection must match the aircraft wiring. Default port
assignments must match the wiring diagrams shown from Appendix I: Wiring Diagram – Power,
Dimming Bus, and Exceedance Horn through Appendix P: Wiring Diagram – Primary Flight Display
(PFD). For configurations with dual GPS/FMS inputs, see Appendix J: Wiring Diagram – GPS/FMS.
When the MFD is used in conjunction with a digital radar system, ARINC 429 TX port 3 and ARINC 453 RX
port 1 are default settings, which are not selectable via the procedures contained in this document.

EX5000 Release 8.2.2 Installation Manual P/N 600-00073-001 Rev 02
- 18 -
Some installations of EX5000 MFDs have been made with Garmin or Avidyne 400 and
500 series GPS units connected via RS-232 under previous revisions of this installation
manual. Those installations are known, non-compliant installations with respect to
TSO-C165 as curved paths from the GPS are depicted as straight lines on the MFD.
Avidyne recommends customers with Garmin or Avidyne 400 and 500 series GPS units
connected via RS-232 switch to an ARINC 429 connection, otherwise the following
warning must be added to the pilot’s guide: “Warning: The EX5000 MFD will display
straight lines instead of curved lines when curved paths are in the flight plan of a
Garmin or Avidyne 400 or 500 series GPS unit.”
Installations of EX5000 MFDs with Garmin or Avidyne 400 and 500 series GPS units
under this installation manual must be done using ARINC 429.
