Introduction 1.1 The BlueMAX module The BlueMAX module captures serial data from an RS232 data feed and streams it via Bluetooth Low Energy to portable devices. This enables supplementary aircraft data (such as engine & GPS data) to be displayed and logged on a portable device. WARNING: BlueMAX is intended to supplement and not replace the aircraft’s primary engine instruments. If there is conflicting data between BlueMAX and any primary instruments, the Pilot in Command should rely upon the aircraft’s primary instruments. 1.2 Applicability The BlueMAX module is intended for installation into aircraft already fitted with a compatible engine monitoring system. A list of compatible monitors is given in Table 2. This document focuses on installation in Cirrus SR series aircraft (SR20, SR22, SR22TN and SR22T) generation 1 through generation 5. This includes aircraft equipped with ARNAV/Sagem engine monitors, Avidyne engine monitors, and aircraft with Garmin Perspective avionics. Installation in other aircraft for which specific information is not included here but which have a compatible monitor should be performed in accordance with the same general principles. If there are any issues not covered in this document or accompanying documents contact FlightData for assistance. Table 2. Compatible Engine Monitors Manufacturer Monitor Type Avidyne SIU / DAU ARNAV EMM35 JPI EDM 730/740/830/900/930/960 series monitors with FDR option Heads Up Technologies RDM of 5 53 1.3 Installation Approval Installation of BlueMAX has been approved by EASA by Minor Change Approval 10076563 (available at Flightdata.com/BlueMAX) which directly covers all countries in the EASA regulatory structure. This also means it can be installed in other countries that have bilateral agreements with EASA, including Australia, the USA and Canada. The references for this reciprocal acceptance are: Australia: CASR 1998 regulation 21.470 applies. Refer also to CASA AC 21-08, paragraph 5.23 which covers recognition of foreign approvals. The BlueMAX EASA approval meets all the criteria specified. USA: The BlueMAX installation is a minor change as classified by 14 CFR 21.93(a). AC 43-210A paragraph 3.2.2.1 confirms that an authorized person can perform a minor change with acceptable data, documented by a logbook entry. The EASA approval both provides evidence ("acceptable data") that it is a minor change , and is also considered approved by the FAA per the FAA/EASA Technical Implementation Procedures for Airworthiness and Environmental Certification, paragraph 3.2.2 and 3.3.2. Canada: The Technical Implementation Procedures for Airworthiness and Environmental Certification paragraph 2.13.2(2) provides that a minor change approved by EASA is considered to be approved by Transport Canada Civil Aviation. Other countries may also accept EASA approval under a bilateral agreement. of 6 53 2.

Power Requirements The BlueMAX module draws a maximum of only 10mA and may be supplied from an existing breaker. 5.1 Non RDM Aircraft It is recommended that power be supplied from the convenience power breaker CB638 (5A or 3A depending on aircraft configuration) on the non-essential bus. All power wiring to the BlueMAX module should be 22AWG, which is rated to 5A per AC 43.13-1B, or heavier. 5.2 RDM Aircraft The RDM wiring harness includes power from the 3-amp FUEL QTY circuit breaker on the Main Bus 1 via its wiring harness, so separate power wiring is not required. 6. Preparation for Installation 6.1 Aircraft Identification BlueMAX instillation procedures vary by the avionics configuration. The first step is to identify the aircraft’s applicable configuration: ARNAV monitoring systems were fitted to early production G1 SR20 and SR22 aircraft. Some of those have since been retrofitted with Avidyne SIU monitors. Avidyne EMAX engine monitoring systems installed in Cirrus aircraft fall into two general categories – those fitted with an SIU or those fitted with a DAU: SIUs are fitted only to early serial numbers and can be identified by the presence of analog engine instruments on the right hand side of the instrument panel. Note that for aircraft with the analog engine instruments, the SIU was an option, and may not be fitted to all applicable aircraft. DAUs are fitted to later serial number Avidyne equipped aircraft and can be identified by the presence of a glove box on the right hand side of the instrument panel in lieu of analog engine instruments. The DAU provides two RS-232 outputs, one feeds the MFD and is used for connection to the BlueMAX module, and the other feeds the PFD which displays the primary engine instrumentation. RDM data storage units were installed in Cirrus Perspective aircraft. RS-232 outputs from the aircraft avionics and electrical power are bundled and sent to the unit installed in the aircraft tail. of 10 53 6.2 Cirrus Connector Identification (Non RDM) Connectors installed by Cirrus are generally well labeled, but note that there is a peculiarity with the nomenclature used – connectors with male pins (which would normally be called “plugs”) are called jacks and labeled as Jnnn and connectors with female pins (which would normally be called “sockets” or “jacks”) are called plugs and labeled as Pnnn. 6.2.1 GPS Connections If connection is to be made to GPS data from the #1 GPS on wire ANGP543-22, this is located in J518 (most aircraft) or J517 (serial numbers 22-0434 and earlier, and 20-1336 and earlier.) Refer to the Cirrus wiring manual for further information. J518 carries RS-232 GPS #1 (wire ANGP543-22) data on pin 9 . J518 is a D-Sub plug (i.e. male pins) which connects to P518, which is mounted on the top right of the radio rack, below the MFD opening. J518 is secured by a slide-lock so is relatively easy to remove, but there may be other cables in the way that will have to be disconnected to access it. 6.2.2 DAU Connections DAU G3: P1047 and J1047 are present in G3 aircraft only, and are located forward of the MFD. They use metal backshells with slide-lock coupling. All DAU (G2 & G3): P1426 and J1426 are located in the same area, and are found in all DAU aircraft. They have plastic backshells and jackscrew coupling. See Figure 1 for more detail. Both pairs of connectors are unplugged from each other in this image. There may be variations in the hardware in different aircraft, but all should be labeled – verify identification by checking the labels. of 11 53 Figure 1. Connector locations for Avidyne equipped Cirrus 6.2.3 ARNAV Cirrus Connections ARNAV EMM35 engine monitor units were fitted to a number of early production SR20 and SR22 aircraft. There is one or more pairs of DB9 connectors on the MFD harness where the connection to the EMM35 is made. One of these will be P5A and J5A which will be used to connect the BlueMAX ARNAV adapter harness. These units were installed aftermarket and as a result, wiring and labeling may vary. See Figure 2. Figure 2. Connectors for ARNAV EMM35 6.3 Cirrus Perspective Connector Identification (RDM) P1048 and J1048 are located inside access hole RE2 located on the right side of the empennage below the horizontal stabilizer. See Figure 3 Figure 3. Connectors for Cirrus Perspective RDM of 12 53 6.4 Piper and Colombia Avidyne DAU monitors are fitted to some models of Piper and Columbia aircraft. Installation in these aircraft will be similar to Cirrus DAU installations, but the appropriate wiring manual should be consulted for connector and wire locations. 6.5 Verifying Presence of SIU If the aircraft is fitted with analog engine instruments as shown in Figure 4, confirm the presence of an SIU either by verifying that the MFD displays engine data on the Engine page, or visually confirm the presence of an SIU mounted on the co-pilot side kick panel (below the analog engine instruments.) Refer to the Cirrus AMM chapter 77-40. If the aircraft has analog engine instruments and no SIU the BlueMAX module cannot be installed. 6.5.1 Missing connectors in SIU aircraft The SIU serial data is connected from the SIU to the MFD by cable ANMD977-22 (refer to Cirrus Wiring Manual chapter 77-00-01) and in SR22s with serial numbers 1087 and above, and SR20s with serial numbers 1456 and above, this cable incorporates a pair of connectors labelled J719/ P719 which provides a convenient place to insert the adapter harness p/n 4370-5147. Aircraft with serial numbers below those ranges may not have J719/P719 fitted and installation of BlueMAX will be facilitated if those connectors are installed in accordance with the Cirrus Wiring Manual chapter 77-00-01. The necessary connectors can be ordered from FlightData as part number 4370-9869 and drawing 2530-17 provides additional guidance. 6.6. Verify primary engine data on PFD for DAU aircraft DAU equipped aircraft display primary engine data on the PFD, but this requires that the software version installed on the PFD supports this display. To verify this, power up the aircraft and inspect the lower right area of the PFD. There should be a data block with primary engine data as shown in Figure 5. If this data is absent, the PFD software must be upgraded before installing BlueMAX. The applicable aircraft models, serial numbers and configurations are summarized in Table 6: Cirrus Engine monitor types. of 13 53 Figure 4. Analog engine instruments Figure 5.

Installation with MFD permanently removed (Non RDM Aircraft) If the MFD has been permanently removed from the aircraft, an alternative installation method is to connect the BlueMAX module to the now unused MFD connector. This connector is shown in the Cirrus Wiring Manual as P528. This provides serial engine data, serial GPS data (SIU aircraft only) and power in a single connector. The SIU Basic adapter harness p/n 4370-9630 is available to plug directly into P528. Installation in DAU G2 equipped aircraft where the MFD is to be removed will require a separate wire for the GPS connection as it was not wired to the MFD in those aircraft. Installations in DAU G3 aircraft should use the DAU G3 harness in any case as it provides engine and GPS data in one. 6.8. GPS wiring (Non RDM Aircraft) For full functionality the BlueMAX module requires a GPS data feed to capture GPS position, speed, and altitude. For this purpose, BlueMAX ARNAV and Avidyne wiring harnesses (with the exception of the DAU G3) come with a GPS wire for connection to the RS232 output from a GPS navigator (typically a GNS430 or similar). For more information on identifying GPS connections, refer to section 6.2.1 above. Cirrus SIU aircraft that are equipped with an Avidyne EX5000C MFD have an RS-232 connection from one of the GPS units to the MFD (which is not used by the MFD). The RS232 connection from the GPS to the MFD on these aircraft may be disconnected to facilitate connection to the BlueMAX module. Note: Accessing this wire (ANGP543-22) at the connection to the MFD is easier than at the connector on top of the radio stack. Refer to drawing 2530-09 for more details. Notes: 1) For Cirrus SRV aircraft fitted with EX3000 MFDs: The RS-232 connection from GPS to MFD on EX3000 MFD equipped aircraft is required and cannot be disconnected. The RS232 connection to an EX3000 can still be used by the BlueMAX, but it will require a wire to be spliced onto this connection so that the feed to the MFD remains intact. 2) RS-232 wires are shielded. To avoid compromising the wire shield, wire splice must be done at a wire termination. To avoid a ground loop, do not connect the shields together (the shield is grounded at the BlueMAX module end.) Cirrus DAU G2 aircraft do not have an RS-232 connection from the GPS to the MFD and will require a separate wire for the GPS connection to the BlueMAX module. Cirrus DAU G3 (Avidyne) wiring harnesses provide engine and GPS data in one, so separate GPS wiring is not required. of 15 53 7. Parts required Installation of BlueMAX requires the BlueMAX module, an adapter harness which connects it to the aircraft wiring, and two BlueMAX window stickers. The adapter harnesses for ARNAV, SIU, DAU and RDM aircraft are different – order the correct parts as listed in Table 7. For installation with JPI engine monitors, or for installation in aircraft other than SR20 and SR22, use the bare adapter harness. This has the BlueMAX connector with power, ground and data cables provided but unterminated. For RDM installation, Loctite 5140 and a 3/8 inch horsehair acid brush will be required for sealing connectors. For all installations, there may be cable ties, wire, splices and other common electrical parts required – these are not included in the kit. Table 7.

JPI Aircraft: Harness p/n 4370-7143 Note: Installation drawing can be found in Appendix C below BlueMAX will work with any JPI engine monitor supporting FDR or DAU output formats, which includes EDM730, EDM740, EDM830 and EDM9xx series units with FDR capability. Serial data is supplied by the JPI monitor on connector P1, pin 24 at 9600 baud (FDR) or 57600 baud (DAU). See drawing 2530-18 for wiring details. 8.9.1. JPI Configuration The JPI unit must be configured to send data via the serial output. To configure proceed as follows: 1. Hold left two buttons until “PROGRAM” message is displayed. 2. Tap left button (NO) when “REFUEL?” displayed 3. Continue tapping left button until “END?” displayed 4. Tap rightmost button (labeled “FACTORY”) 5. Tap left button repeatedly (many times) until “REMOTE DISPLAY I/O?” is displayed (the program may only display “I/O?” in some versions). 6. Select “MASTER/SLAVE” to enable DAU output at 57600 baud. 7. Continue stepping until the setting "FDR OUTPUT" and set it to Y. This enables FDR output at 9600 baud. of 24 53 9. Optional Tank Selector Sensor Installation (Non RDM) The BlueMAX module can sense the position of the fuel tank selector via a reed switch which is mounted next to the tank selector shaft. A small magnet is glued to the base of the shaft so that it activates the switch when the selector is in the left tank position. There is no physical contact with the tank selector or shaft so no possibility of interference with normal operation of the tank selector. Note: The Tank Selector Sensor is optional. If you do not wish to install the tank elector sensor and you are using a wiring hardness that has the optional tank selector sensor cables, simply cut the fuel secretor wire at the base of the BlueMAX connector and continue the installation process as detailed below Figure 6. Tank sensor installation of 25 53 9.1. Cable routing The tank sensor cable (composed of a white and black wire) must be routed from the module installation location to the tank selector area. Proceed as follows using the AMM for reference. 1. Remove the pilot’s seat. 2. Open the circuit breaker panel. 3. Remove the trim panel surrounding the circuit breaker panel, extending back to the center console area. 4. Route the tank sensor cable (i.e. both black and white wires) and power wire from under the glareshield down to the circuit breaker panel area. This can be quite full of existing wiring - it may be useful to use a length of 12mm semi-rigid plastic tubing as a guide - see Figure 7. Slide the wires down the tubing then remove the tubing. 5. The power wire will be terminated onto a circuit breaker as described above. Route the tank sensor wire above the circuit breaker panel back to the tank selector area. Figure 7. Cable routing of 26 53 9.2. Magnet and switch installation Figure 8. Magnet installation 1. Supplied with the adapter harness is a small rare earth circular magnet. 2. Place this magnet onto a piece of clear adhesive tape. 3. Position the fuel tank selector to the left tank position. 4. Clean the left hand side of the tank selector shaft and the adjacent panel with isopropyl alcohol. 5. Mix a small quantity of 5-minute epoxy and apply to the magnet, ensuring that a thin coat is applied to the exposed top and sides. 6. Position the magnet onto the tank selector shaft so that the magnet is facing the left hand side of the aircraft and is centered 7mm (approx 1/4") above the base horizontal panel - see Figure 8. 7. After the epoxy has cured remove the adhesive tape. 8. Attach the white and black wires from the tank sensor cable to the reed switch. (Polarity does not matter, so the white and black wires can be connected to either side of the reed switch). The reed switch cover should be removed to expose the connector screws. Note: the wire ends do not need to be stripped - the reed switch connectors will puncture the insulation when the screws are tightened. Do not over tighten. of 27 53 9. Replace the cover on the reed switch and mark the top of the switch with a line 19 mm (3/4") from the side of the switch faction toward the nose of the aircraft - the switch will be positioned with the wires facing the left side of the aircraft. See Figure 9 below for orientation. 10. Remove the backing paper from the double sided tape on the bottom of the switch. 11. Position the switch at right angles to the magnet, with the mark on top of the switch adjacent to the magnet. There must be a gap of 1 - 3mm (1/16 - 1/8") between the magnet and the switch. 12. Verify that rotation of the tank selector does not result in any contact between the reed switch and magnet or selector shaft. 13. Press firmly to adhere the double sided tape. Reinforce with a fillet of 5-minute epoxy around the base of the switch. 14. Secure the cable with cable ties as required. See Figure 6 for a view of the completed switch installation. Figure 9. Switch installation of 28 53 9.3. Upgrading existing installation with tank selector sensor Where an existing BlueMAX installation without tank selector sensor is to be upgraded, users can either purchase a new adapter harness or install the additional two wires and reed switch manually. If installing the additional wires, they will need to be attached to the existing BlueMAX adapter harness. Remove the BlueMAX connector from the module and proceed as follows. 9.3.1. DAU G3 adapter harness Open the BlueMAX connector hinge and insert the pins on the tank sensor wire - black wire (ground) into location 1 and the white wire into location 7. Close the connector hinge. 9.3.2. SIU and DAU G2 adapter harnesses The new wire requires connection to the existing ground wire. Both the shield and the black wire in the new cable should be connected to ground at the BlueMAX module. It may be expedient to remove the adapter harness from the aircraft for these steps. Refer to Figure 10 for an illustration of the manner in which the new wire is to be connected to the existing ground wire. 1. Identify the ground wire connected to pin 6 of the BlueMAX connector. Open the BlueMAX connector and remove the pin and wire from location 6. A fine sharp tool will be required to lift the pin retainer. 2. Cut this wire at a point approximately 25mm (1") from the connector. Strip each cut end approximately 3mm (1/8"). 3. The upgrade harness has a two-core shielded wire supplied with a solder sleeve. Insert the shielded wire into the solder sleeve so that the bare shield lies within the solder ring. 4. Insert into the solder sleeve the two ends of the ground wire and the doubled- back black wire from within the tank sensor cable. The stripped ends of all three wires should be positioned with the exposed shield inside the solder ring. 5. Using a heat gun shrink the sleeve and melt the solder ring so that all the wires and the shield are firmly soldered. There should be no visible ring left from the solder. Check for physical security and electrical continuity of the wires. 6. Now insert the ground wire back into location 6 on the BlueMAX connector, and insert the new wire from the tank sensor into location 7. Close the connector. of 29 53 Figure 10. Tank sensor upgrade harness connection. 10. Post install checks WARNING: When powering the aircraft from external power use only an electrically clean power supply at 14V or 28V as required. Turn on the aircraft battery prior to plugging in the external power source to minimize the risk of spikes on the electrical bus. Do not externally power up the aircraft without the aircraft battery fitted! 10.1. Aircraft Instrument Checks (Non RDM) 1. Power up the aircraft and verify that the analog instruments (if fitted) or the PFD display primary engine data. 2. Verify that the MFD (if fitted) displays supplementary engine data. The BlueMAX module requires configuration after installation. This is performed via the BlueMAX app which is available for iOS and Android. The module must be powered up for this process. of 30 53 10.2. App Installation Either use the following URLs or search the App Store (iOS) or Play Store (Android) for "BlueMAX Aircraft Monitor" and install the app on an iPad or Android tablet. 1. iOS - https://apps.apple.com/au/app/bluemax-aircraft-monitor/id1238996807 2. Android - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.controlj.bluemax.app 10.3. Connection If the app is freshly installed and has not previously connected to any BlueMAX module it will automatically connect to the first one it finds after it is opened. If it has previously connected to a different module then it will be necessary to find the new module in the Bluetooth page. This is selected via the Bluetooth menu item. The menu can be opened by swiping across from the left hand side of the screen. Note: The BlueMAX module is a BLE device and it will not appear as a Bluetooth device in the iOS Bluetooth settings page. Bluetooth connection to the BlueMAX module is managed exclusively in the BlueMAX app. For troubleshooting help, see section A.2 of the troubleshooting guide below. Figure 11 - BlueMAX app: main menu Figure 12 - BlueMAX app: Bluetooth Management screen of 31 53 10.4. Firmware upgrade Before configuring the BlueMAX module check for a firmware upgrade for the module. CAUTION: Do not attempt to upgrade firmware in flight. Notes: 1) Internet connection required to perform update. 2) The BlueMAX adapter must be powered (turn on aircraft battery) and you will need to be within range of the bluetooth connection There are two ways to do the update. If method one does not work, use method two. Method One: 1. Open the Main menu: Swipe across the screen from the left. 2. Access the Tool menu: Tap the “Tools” button. 3. Now choose "Firmware upgrade". A dialog will appear (see Figure 13 ) and if an upgrade is available will prompt to install it. Tap Update. If no upgrade is available the dialog will disappear with a message "Firmware is up to date.” Method Two (This method can be used if you need to update multiple modules): 1. Open the Main menu: Swipe across the screen from the left. 2. Access the Bluetooth Management page: tap the “Bluetooth” button. 3. In the page that opens find your device (if you only use one, that's all there should be.) If you have previously connected to it the device will be under "Active BlueMAX adapters", otherwise it will be under "New BlueMAX adapters". The page can be refreshed by dragging down. 4. Tap the device name and a menu will pop up. If one of the options is "disconnect" choose that, then tap the device name again. 5. Now choose "Firmware upgrade". A dialog will appear and if an upgrade is available will prompt to install it. Tap Update. If no upgrade is available the dialog will disappear with a message "Firmware is up to date.” After a few seconds it should complete and disconnect. 6. You can now connect to the device by tapping the name again and selecting "Connect". of 32 53 Figure 13 - BlueMAX app: Update firmware pop up menu 10.5. Configuration Note: Configuration should be accomplished when the BlueMAX module is NOT connected to the app. If you are already connected to the device, select the device from the Bluetooth management screen and click “Disconnect” before following the directions below. 1. Tap the device name and select “Configure". The dialog box shown in Figure 14 will appear with various options - see Table 8 for a description of the options. 2. Set the options as appropriate for the installation and tap OK. 3. Tap the device name again and select "Connect". The app will connect to the module and should display engine data. Figure 14 - BlueMAX app: module configuration page of 33 53 Table 8. Configuration Dialog Items Item Function Device Name Allows changing the name of the module. It is recommended to set this to match the aircraft tail number. Interface Selects the serial interface format. See Table 9 for details. COM1 Baudrate Baud rate for the COM 1 (Engine data) interface. Will be set automatically when the interface format is chosen and should only be overridden in special circumstances. COM2 Baudrate Baud rate for the GPS input - leave at 9600 Total Flight Time (hrs) The module will accumulate flight time. This allows setting it to match the aircraft’s current TTIS per the logbook. MP Offset A calibration factor for the Manifold Pressure sensor. The value in this field will be added to the received MP value before display and logging, e.g. if your MP sensor reads 0.5 inHg high, enter -0.5 in this field. Noise Detection Margin See Appendix B for details. Tank selector sensor Check this box if a tank selector sensor is installed. FF K-factor Used only with some engine monitor types and should be the K-factor of the fuel flow sensor. For most Cirrus aircraft this is 29200 but some early SR20s with ARNAV monitors are 33330 Factory CHT cylinder Used only with ARNAV installations, and should be the cylinder which has a CHT probe connected to the analog CHT gauge. This should be #6 in SR22s, and #2 or #3 in SR20s depending on serial number. RPM Factor Used with ARNAV only. If the RPM on the app does not match the RPM on the MFD, calculate the RPM factor: 1. Set the RPM factor to 1 (this removes any adjustment) 2. Run the aircraft and record the RPM indications shown on the BlueMAX and those shown on the ARNAV MFD 3. RPM Factor = BlueMAX RPM divided by ARNAV MFD RPM (For example, if the BlueMAX = 1,500 RPM and the ARNAV indicates 1,000 RPM, then the RPM factor is 1.5) 4. Set the RPM factor per above (in this case 1.5) and run the plane to confirm correct indications. Note: the RPM indication on the ARNAV is sometimes "rounded" so for best results, attempt to adjust the RPM to a round number on both units (i.e. 1,000 RPM and 1,500 RPM) before making adjustments. of 34 53 Table 9. Interface choices 10.5.1. ARNAV Configuration notes 1. The lower limit for many of the parameters that are displayed on the ARNAV MFD are higher than the actual readings for the parameters when the engine is not running. The actual readings are captured by the EMM35 engine monitoring system and transmitted via the BlueMAX module. As such, it is normal for the parameters shows on the BlueMAX app to differ from those displayed on the MFD when the engine is not running. 2. The RPM factor must be calculated using the method shown in Table 8 above. 10.6 Enabling Automatic Connection to the BlueMAX Module The BlueMAX can automatically connect to your mobile device when powered and in range for BLE connection. To enable this feature follow the directions below. Note: Auto connection will not work in “airplane mode”. If using “airplane mode”, the BlueMAX will require manual connection. 1. Open the BlueMAX mobile app. 2. Open the main menu: Swipe across the screen from the left. 3. Select “Settings”. 4. Select the “Auto connect in the background” box. Note: iOS users will also need to modify location services. Refer to section 10.6.1 below for details.

To change the location services option follow these steps: 1. Open Phone Settings. 2. Select “Privacy”. 3. Select “Location Services” at the top. 4. Select “BlueMAX” from the list. 5. Select “Always” from the list of Location Access Options. Note: After you enable this option, you will get notifications from time to time reminding you that location services have been running for BlueMAX and it will ask if you would like to change your location services option. If you change it to “While Using the App” you will lose the automatic connection function. of 36 53 Figure 16 - BlueMAX Location Services Menu 11. Weight and balance The installed weight of the BlueMAX module and adapter harness is approximately 120g (less than 4 ounces) and results in a change in the CG position of approximately 0.008% MAC. This is considered a negligible change per AC 43.13-1B and no weight and balance update is required. 12.

Status icons The BlueMAX app shows status icons in the fuel gauge widget. These are blue when active, and grey when inactive. Left to right, they indicate: • Bluetooth status (blue means a BlueMAX module is connected); • engine data status (blue means valid engine data is being received); and • flight status (blue means the aircraft is in flight.) A.2. Bluetooth Connection Issues Note: BlueMAX is a BLE device and it will not be visible in the iOS “Bluetooth” section as an available device. If you want to test to make sure the device is receiving power and is transmitting (without using the BlueMAX app), we recommend downloading the “nRF Connect” app to scan for available bluetooth devices. When started on the iPad, BlueMAX will automatically try to reconnect to the last BlueMAX module used. If no module has previously been connected, or you want to connect to a new module, you will need to locate the module via the Bluetooth page. Access the Bluetooth page by tapping the Bluetooth icon in the left side menu bar - you can also drag across from the left to open this bar to a full menu: of 40 53 nRF Connect In the Bluetooth page you will find a list of BlueMAX modules. The top section lists modules already connected to at least once - "Active BlueMAX Devices" and a list of new BlueMAX modules that are currently visible and available for connection under "New BlueMAX devices" You can drag down on the page to trigger a refresh - this will re-scan for nearby modules. The device named DEMO is an internal simulated device - you can ignore this. If a device is currently connected to the app, it will have the note "Connected". Other devices will have a signal strength indicator and, if visible, a signal strength number. This number will be negative, and if absent or less than -100, the device is not connectable. Typical numbers for nearby devices will be in the -30 to -80 range. If you don’t see the device you want to connect to, or it has no signal strength displayed, follow these steps until it becomes connectable. • Check the module has power connected: Modules with serial number 2001 and subsequent incorporate a green power light to indicate the module is receiving power. For models without the power indication light, check for power using a multimeter. • Download “nRF Connect” and scan for the BlueMAX device (this will allow you to ensure the device has power and is transmitting). • In the iOS settings find BlueMAX and check that both Location and Bluetooth are on. • Within the BlueMAX app, refresh the page - drag downwards. If you see a message "Bluetooth is off" then turn on Bluetooth from the Settings app. • Turn off Bluetooth and turn it on again - this will reset the iOS or Android Bluetooth subsystem. If none of this works, contact FlightData for further assistance. The module may be faulty. of 41 53 A.3. Bluetooth connects, but no engine data is displayed If the Bluetooth status icon is active, but the engine data status icon is greyed out and no engine data is being displayed, this indicates that the module is not receiving data on the RS-232 line from the DAU or SIU. To troubleshoot this, follow these steps: 1. Check that the configuration is correct.(The Interface setting should be RDM for all Perspective G3-G5 aircraft, DAU for all Avidyne G3’s and glovebox G2 Cirrus aircraft, SIU for most other Avidyne aircraft except early models with ARNAV engine monitors.) See section 10.4 Configuration and Table 9 above for further details. NOTE: The BlueMAX app can sometimes have connection issues if a connection to the BlueMAX module was attempted with the incorrect configuration. This issue will manifest as “no engine data” message followed by an inability to disconnect from the BlueMAX module. To resolve the issue, power cycle the aircraft electrical system. 2. Check the data capture Open the Serial Capture page via the Tools menu. • In the Serial Capture page turn on the Engine data switch and observe if any data is displayed in the capture box. There should be lines of ASCII data updating several times per second. This is the raw data from the RS-232 feed. If there is data but it’s gibberish this would suggest an incorrect baud rate. • If no data is displayed, this suggests a wiring fault. Check the BlueMAX adapter harness and associated connectors for loose connectors, bad crimps etc. The serial log files captured can be sent to FlightData via a bug report (see Section A.4 Bug Reports below.) of 42 53 3. If there is any doubt about the connections to the module, use a DVM or an oscilloscope to confirm data on the inputs to the module. • Unplug the BlueMAX module from its connector (press down on the tab to release the connector) and check the voltages on the pins. DO NOT insert a probe into the pin opening as this will damage the terminal. Use a fine probe (0.66mm or smaller) in the probe opening below the pin opening. • Alternatively open the top latch on the connector (release the clips either side with a small tool) and probe on top of the exposed pins. The pinout for Avidyne installations is shown here. Not all pins will be populated. The pinout for Perspective/RDM installations will only include Power (pin 8), GND (pin 6) and DATA (pin 5). With power on the aircraft measure the voltage between +V (pin 8) and GND (pin 6.) It should be bus voltage - i.e. 24V or 12V. Use a DVM to measure the voltage between DATA and GND - it should be a negative voltage between -5 and -15V but fluctuating. A zero reading indicates a connection problem between the connector and the RS-232 data source (EMM35/ SIU/DAU/RDM • If the GPS wire is connected also measure from GPS to GND, it should also be negative and fluctuating. If an oscilloscope is available it should show data on the DATA and GPS pins between -5 and +5V (the voltage range may be higher, up to +/- 15V.) Close the latch by pressing down and ensure both clips are secure. of 43 53 A.4. Bug reports If further investigation of any issues is required, you can send a debug report to FlightData via the Logfiles page - tap the Logfiles menu, then in the page that opens select all of the app Debug logs as well as any Engine and Serial logfiles you wish to send and tap the “bug report” button in the bottom right. This will send the selected files and all the App logfiles to FlightData. You will have the option to enter an email address if you want feedback. of 44 53 Appendix B: Noise Detection BlueMAX has a feature that monitors inputs (in particular CHT and EGT) for electrical noise. A significant amount of noise on a signal is indicative of a bad connection or probe, and means the value displayed may not be reliable. If noise is detected, BlueMAX will flag the signal as unreliable by cross-hatching it in the engine bar display. When a signal is flagged as noisy it will not generate alarms and will be ignored when selecting the highest value in the group. WARNING: Flagging a signal may assist in distinguishing between a real problem and an indication error, but the pilot must use their own judgement. There is no guarantee that a noise detection will always detect a faulty sensor, nor is it assured that a flagged signal is in fact erroneous. B.1. Noise margin EGT signals in particular can be somewhat noisy even when operating correctly (though this can also indicate a bad ground connection between the engine and airframe) so if there are too many nuisance noise detections the Noise Margin setting in the Configure menu can be increased. Higher numbers for the noise margin will reduce the sensitivity of the noise detection. of 45 53 Appendix C: Additional Documentation C.1. Drawing 2530-24: BlueMAX Installation - ARNAV of 46 53 C.2. Drawing 2530-09: BlueMAX Installation - SIU SR22 SN1087-1662 excluding 1602 & 1644, SR22 SN 1456-1581 (See notes below for earlier SN’s) of 47 53 Notes: 1. SIU and J719/P719 were installed at the factory starting at SR22 SN1087 & SR20 SN1456. SIU installed on earlier SN aircraft were done in the field and may require installation of J719/P719. See section 6.5.1 above for details. 2. P528 wiring varies on earlier SN’s. Refer to appropriate Cirrus wiring manual diagram for P528 pin allocation. 3. Wiring for aircraft with SIU field installations may vary. For example, ANGP543-22 is not used by the MFD, so in some cases it is de-pinned from P528 and it’s pin re- allocated to ANMD997-22. ANGP543-22 can be found on P518/J518, refer to appropriate Cirrus wiring manual diagram for P518/J518 pin allocation. C.3. Drawing 2530-10: BlueMAX Installation - DAU G2 of 48 53 C.4.
