Nesis III — Installation Manual 1. Introduction
1 Introduction
First of all we would like to thank you for purchasing our product. Nesis is a
complex instrument and we strongly recommend reading the manuals before
installation. You may be also interested in reading:
 Nesis Installation Manual (this manual),
 Nesis User’s Manual,
 DAQU Installation Manual,
 MAGU Manual,
 Autopilot Installation Manual,
 our web page www.kanardia.eu.
This manual assumes that you are familiar with the Nesis user interface sys-
tem.
1.1 Icons Used Trough the Manual
A few icons appear on the side of the manual, which have special meanings:
This icon denotes information that needs to be taken with special
attention. An injury or even death is possible if instructions are
not obeyed.
Failing to follow the instructions may lead to the equipment dam-
age.
This icon denotes background information about the subject.
This icon denotes a tip.
1.2 Warnings
The following warnings and limitations apply during installation.
 Software based fuel flow and software based fuel level can be very danger-
ous and misleading. They affect also range and endurance calculation.
Never trust any of these values. Make sure that you have some reliable
way to check the actual fuel level during the flight.

Nesis III — Installation Manual 1.3 Minimal System
 Before installing the instrument, you shall carefully read and understand
this manual and any other supplementing manual.
 The manual is not a substitute for an approved aircraft specific main-
tenance manual, installation or design drawing. Attempting to install
Nesis and corresponding equipment by reference to this manual only
(without planning or designing an installation specific to aircraft) may
compromise the safety and is not recommended.
1.3 Minimal System
Nesis minimal system consists of two components: Nesis III display and
DAQU (engine management box). They are sold together as a kit.
This manual starts with the installation instructions for the minimal system
and then adds separate sections for optional components.
Some components have their own installation manuals.
2 Display Installation
This section covers the installation of the Nesis display.
2.1 Placement Consideration
There are several consideration which affect the display position on the in-
strument panel.
 The display must be in direct view field of the pilot without any ob-
structions.
 The display supports landscape orientation only. Portrait orientation is
not possible.
 The display has a modest power consumption. It is cooled trough top
and bottom openings in the housing. Please make sure that cooling air
will be able to circulate trough the housing openings.
 Avoid to place the display next to the heater vents or into any kind of
direct stream of hot air.
