2 System Overview
The D30 Touchscreen Electronic Flight Display features internal calibrated solid-state sensors
and a high-definition display to present Airspeed, Altitude, and Attitude data.
The D30 provides pilots with immediate Primary Flight Information (PFI) in case of failure of the
primary display or instruments providing PFI. It also allows pilots to cross-compare the presented
PFI to ensure data integrity.

2.3.2 Start-up and Shut-down
To start-up the D30:
1. Apply power to unit. Unit will start-up.
2. If power is applied and unit does not start-up, then press and hold bezel button for two
seconds. Unit will start-up.
Altitude is not displayed until 30 seconds after start-up. If the D30 senses an
airspeed or altimeter setting adjustment, then altitude is immediately displayed.
To shut-down the D30:
1. Remove power from unit. The SHUTTING DOWN window is displayed with a 30-second
countdown timer. After countdown, unit will shut-down.
2. Alternatively, press and hold bezel button for two seconds. The SHUTTING DOWN
window is displayed with a 3-second countdown timer. After countdown, unit will shut-
down.
2.3.3 Screen Brightness Control
To adjust the screen brightness on the D30:
1. Touch Menu icon (see Figure 2). Main Menu is displayed.
2. Use Brightness slider bar on Main Menu to set screen brightness level.
3. When done, tap 'arrow' icon to close Main Menu.
2.3.4 Altimeter Setting
To change the altimeter setting on the D30:
1. Touch Barometer / Altimeter Setting indicator (see Figure 2). The Altimeter Setting tool
appears.
2. Use the slider bar or tap +/ –to adjust the altimeter.
3. When done, touch any other part of screen to hide the Altimeter Setting tool and restore
Altimeter and Altitude Tape.

3 Installation
This section provides information and instructions for installing the Dynon D30.
3.1 Backup Battery Installation
Per shipping regulations, the D30 is shipped without the backup battery installed. Prior to unit
installation, the D30 needs its backup battery installed.
To install the D30's backup battery:
1. On back of unit, loosen captured retaining screw on access plate (see Figure 3), and then
remove access plate.
2. Connect backup battery to unit. Unit and backup battery have mating Molex connectors.
3. Gently insert backup battery and wires into unit.
4. Reposition access plate, and secure with retaining screw.
Figure 3: Backup Battery Access

D30 - Installation and Maintenance Manual, Rev A, 6/26/2023
3.2 Unit Installation
The D30 should be installed within the primary maximum field-of-view boundary, as close as
practicable to the equipment that displays Primary Flight Information (PFI). According to AC
23.1311-1C, the primary maximum field-of-view is based on vertical and horizontal visual fields
from the pilot's eye reference point that can be observed with eye movement and minimal head
movement only.
The D30 is designed to mount to the instrument panel in a standard 3-1/8"
diameter instrument hole with little modification. See installation guidelines and
specifications below for more information.
The D30 is designed as near direct-fit replacement for the Dynon EFIS-D10A.
Observe the following guidelines and specifications when installing a D30:
•Unit should be installed so its bezel is level across aircraft's lateral axis.
•Wire harness extends about 3" from the rear of the unit. (This can be reduced if 90°
connector shell is used on the wire harness.)
•A small relief must be cut at the bottom of the 3-1/8" instrument panel hole (see Figure
5).
•If retrofitting an EFIS-D10A with a D30, the holes drilled in the instrument panel for the
EFIS-D10A can be reused for the D30's bracket (see Figure 6).
•Front bezel will extend 0.5" beyond the face of the instrument panel.
•Unit will need to be accessed during service; therefore, provide enough slack in the wire
harness and the pitot and static lines to remove the unit from the instrument panel without
disconnection.
•Avoid placing the unit near sources of heat.

Figure 4: Volume Requirements
To mount the D30 to an instrument panel:
1. If needed, use Figure 5 as a guide to mark and drill holes in instrument panel for mount
bracket attachment.
2. Cut small relief at bottom of instrument hole (see Figure 5) to allow clearance for unit's
retaining screw.
3. Deburr cut edges.
4. Feed mount bracket through instrument hole, as shown in Figure 6, and then secure
to instrument panel with provided hardware.
5. Complete pitot and static connection (see Section 3.3) and electrical installation (see
Section 3.4).
6. Insert unit into instrument hole and mount bracket, as shown in Figure 6.
7. Use 3/32" hex wrench to tighten captured retaining screw that secures unit to mount
bracket (see Figure 7). Tighten retaining screw to 3-5 lbs.

3.3 Pitot and Static Connection
The pitot and static ports on the back of the D30 are equipped with 1/8" NPT female fittings.
Installers need to source appropriate flexible hose and AN/MS fittings for connection to existing
pneumatic tubes/hoses.
To plumb the D30 into the pitot and static systems:
1. Find an appropriate place to connect the D30 plumbing to the airplane's existing pitot and
static systems.
2. Measure and cut correct lengths of flexible hoses to connect to the airplane's pitot and
static systems.
3. Install AN/MS fittings into ends of flexible hoses for connection to the airplane's pitot and
static systems.
4. Route flexible hoses and connect them to the airplane's pitot and static systems using
AN/MS fittings.
Ensure there are no low spots in the flexible hoses that could trap
condensation and cause an obstruction.
5. On a bench, remove plugs from the 1/8" NPT fittings on back of unit (see Figure 8). Leave
the AoA pipe fitting capped.
6. Apply appropriate thread sealant to AN/MS fittings and hand-thread them into the 1/8"
NPT fittings on back of unit.
7. When AN/MS fittings are snug, place a wrench on the unit's 1/8" NPT fittings to prevent
them from rotating, and then carefully tighten.
DO NOT overtighten! If the unit's 1/8" NPT fittings rotate during tightening
it may damage its internal components.
8. Connect flexible tubes to the corresponding AN/MS fittings on back of unit.
