DynaNav Installation Manual
Overview of System
The DynaFlight-3™ system is a GPS based electronic guidance and data management system specifically
designed as a tool for the pilot to fly Parallel Swath Guidance, Free Form Navigation and Live Moving Map for the
application of seeds, fertilizer and chemicals for farm and forestry applications. It also gives unlimited navigation
points including automatic Last Sprayed Point to return back 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. Note: we have the DynaViz graphical display that we refer to as a
Mini-HUD but you do not see through it, however, it has a low profile, no different than a lightbar, to not block the
outside view. We are now releasing a true Heads Up Display that you see through the Combiner lens and the
image is projected way out in front of the display. Keep your eye out for this –pun intended.
Mounting
GPS Antenna
Overview
As the GPS antenna has to view the full constellation of orbiting satellites and as such the antenna should
haveas 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 (not the bottom) 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. This is to keep it away from
the rotor mast as much as possible as wellas 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 thesignal and as far forwardas possible.
◼Mounting on the tail should only be done if Laser Gyro option is installed in the DynaFlight to correct the
position.
◼Keep as far away from transmitting antennas as possible (atleast 12 inches) If this is notpossible,
please contact DynaNav for recommendations.
◼For fixed wing aircraft, if the antenna can be mounted as far forward as possible without being on the
engine cowls, and of course on the centerline of the aircraft.

Touchscreen Processor Display
Overview
The DynaFlight 3 processor display has all the electronics of the system in the touchscreen display . It
should be mounted to the aluminum panel for heat transfer using 4 mounting screws to attach.
Placement
The Touchscreen should be mounted as close to the center and as high as possible for the pilot to access
during flight with ease.

DynaViz Mini-HUD Pilot Display
Overview
The pilot display 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 live moving map.
◼Pilot display for selecting CUSTOMER, JOB, and SWATH WIDTH.

◼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 25 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.
Productfeatures
◼As the display represents the ground view,the display should be mounted as horizontal as possibleso
as the pilot can see the complete screen. The EL display can be viewed at 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 simply
pulled off to remove. DO NOT TWIST!

Control Grip or Switches
Overview
The control grip contains three primary switches that control the entire system. On our supplied
DynaGrip™, two of these switches are contained in the single 5 way Top Hat switch and the other on a
push button 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 IO ControlBox interface to sense spray on/off or other actions.
Placement
If the grip, cyclic or collective have a spare Top Hat switch, it can be wired directly to the connector on the
DualRelay box along with two other push buttons for the “accept” and the “window“operation. This Dual
Relay box should always be used as itcontains the transientspike protection circuitry. If the DynaGrip™-
Collective switch 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. For Fixed Wing aircraft, the supplied
DynaGrip™ is to replace the existing control grip on the flight control stick.

Collective Switch

Productfeatures
With the grip or collective switch box in the pilots hands, the pilot will be able to change job functions while
observing the display to keep his field of view outside the helicopter/aircraft, not inside the cockpit.

IO ControlBox
Overview
The IO ControlBox has multiple functions to interface the aircraft and the pilot to the DynaFlight system.
These functions are as follows:
◼To interface to sense the spray on/off of the aircraft system.
◼To protect the DynaFlight from the electrical spikes generated by any relay action
◼To protect the DynaFlight system from static discharge on the control switches.
◼To interface multiple styles of control switch assemblies or to the DynaGrip™ control grip.
Placement
The IO ControlBox does not need to be hard mounted, however for vibration isolation, it would be best to
secure it to the aircraft surface.
Wiring
The IO ControlBox has Red and Black wires that are respectively required to connect to power and ground.
The Green wire is for Marking the GPS Spray on/off. This requires power supplied to it to be Spray On. For
Pressure switches on the Spray Boom, make sure the pressure is well within the range of the normal boom
pressure for spraying. If you have a DynaNav DynaFlow.
The IO ControlBox is connected directly to the DynaFlight 3 interface harness, by connecting the 3 pin
male and female CanBus connectors coming from each of the DynaFlight 3 and the IO ControlBox.
Wiring Harness Diagrams
Overview
The diagrams attached to appendix are for the interconnect wiring of the DynaNav system. All wires on the
harnesses supplied (except the control grip/box)
