L-3 CrewMate 840Installation ManualPage 12Rev. 04Feb. 17/15165E4860-004.3 Display UnitThe Display Unit attaches to the cockpit via the Docking Cradle assembly so as to position the DU for convenient viewing andoperation by the pilot.No pressure or force is required to seat the DU into the Docking Cradle. Seating is accomplished by pulling the Docking Cradlelatch forward and then placing the DU in the Docking Cradle as shown in Figure 21 and Figure 22. The upward side stands ofthe Docking Cradle should slide into the recessed grooves on the sides of the DU as shown in Figure 23 and Figure 24. Inaddition, the center stand of the Docking Cradle should slide underneath the rear catch of the DU as shown in Figure 25.NOTE: The Display Unit should be placed in the Docking Cradle by force of gravity alone. It is not necessaryto apply pressure to complete the data connection between the DU and the Docking Cradle. Usingexcessive force in this manner can damage the DU, Docking Cradle and articulating arm.Figure 21. Display Unit Seating, Front View Figure 22. Display Unit Seating, Rear ViewFigure 23.

L-3 CrewMate 840 Installation Manual Page 13Rev. 04Feb. 17/15165E4860-00Once the DU is properly placed in the Docking Cradle the front latch of the Docking Cradle should be closed. The latchingmechanism will pull down and seat the DU into the connector and secure as shown in Figure 26. The latch should closesmoothly and easily, if this is not the case then it is possible that the DU has not been placed properly. In this situation, returnthe latch to the open position, lift the DU from the Docking Cradle, carefully place the DU back into the Docking Cradle andattempt to close the latch again.NOTE: Do not attempt to force the latch closed if it provides resistance. Forcing the Docking Cradle latchcan damage the DU and the Docking Cradle.Figure 26. DU Seating CompletedThe DU is removed from the Docking Cradle by opening the latch and lifting the DU up.The DU receives power, signals and data from the AIU, and provides two user-accessible USB ports. When the DU is seatedin the Docking Cradle it operates from Aircraft power provided by the AIU. The DU will continue to operate from internal powerwhile in the Docking Cradle if Aircraft power is removed.When not seated in the Docking Cradle, the DU can operate from power provided by a power adapter or its internal battery.The DU requires no special considerations for cooling. The DU fan, located on the lower rear of the unit, is designed to functionwith adequate airflow when the DU is placed on any flat surface. The operation of the fan is controlled by the DU system andwill turn the fan on and off as needed. This fan requires a tenth of inch clearance in order to provide adequate airflow.Should the main fan fail to activate, the DU will display an on-screen fan error message to alert the user to the failure.4.4 Pre-Installed SoftwareThe Display Unit comes with Windows 7 pre-installed, this installation also includes Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 and .NETFramework 3.0. In addition the drivers for Sensory Video, the IR Touchscreen, the EFB hardware, the VGA screen andEthernet are also pre-installed.
L-3 CrewMate 840Installation ManualPage 14Rev. 04Feb. 17/15165E4860-004.5 Microsoft Windows UpdateThe DU comes supplied with the Microsoft Windows Update option turned off.Microsoft Windows updates should be applied by the DU administrator in a non-aircraft environment. This is due to thepotential time required to wirelessly download a large update and the subsequent installation process.4.6 Electronic Flight Bag Graphical User Interface SoftwareThe Electronic Flight Bag Graphical User Interface (GUI) comes installed on the DU and is set to automatically run when theunit is powered up. This interface completely obscures the Windows XP interface and becomes the primary method of userinteraction with the DU.The EFB GUI provides an easy to navigate customizable interface. The administrator of the DU is able to customize the menustructure of the GUI, allowing grouping of related programs. Frequently accessed programs can be placed on the top menuallowing easy access.Customization of the menu structure is accomplished by accessing the Setup screen. The Setup screen is protected behind anadministrator’s password, preventing unauthorized modification of the DU system.In addition, installation of additional software is accomplished through the password protected Setup screen. This preventsunauthorized software from being installed without the administrator’s knowledge.Access to the Windows 7 interface is also blocked behind the Setup screen.ACTIVEAPPLICATIONS POWERBARCROSSTALKON SCREENKEYBOARDINFORMATIONPOWERHOMEFigure 27.

It is up to the customer to install additional applications asneeded and to configure those applications to run from the EFB Main Menu.Installation of additional applications requires administrator privileges. To install additional software, the administrator mustaccess the Setup Menu via the Setup icon button at the top of the main menu as shown in Figure 27.
L-3 CrewMate 840 Installation Manual Page 15Rev. 04Feb. 17/15165E4860-00The administrator will be prompted for a password to enter the Setup page. If a password was not previously established, or ifthe administrator forgets the password, he/she should use the test “L3DSADMIN”.After entering the password, the administrator will see the Setup Menu shown in Figure 28.Figure 28. Setup GUI Display Figure 29. Main Menu Configuration GUI DisplayOn this page, the administrator has the option of changing (or establishing) the password, setting the Crosstalk COM portnumber and setting the on-screen keyboard opacity percentage. Note that changes to the OSK opacity setting will not takeaffect until restarting the unit or after exiting and returning to the EFB GUI software. A password added on this screen will be inaddition to the default password which will always be “L3DSADMIN”.To install additional software, the administrator selects the “Exit to Windows” button, which will close the EFB GUI. This willprovide the administrator with access to the Windows 7 desktop, at which point the installation can be completed as per thesoftware application’s installation instructions.Once the application has been installed, the administrator will then need to create a launch button for the application. This isperformed within the Main Menu GUI, the administrator can return to the EFB GUI by running the Main Menu GUI from the startmenu, located under Programs, L−3 Communications, Main GUI.To create a launch button within the EFB GUI the administrator must return to the Setup display by selecting the “Setup” buttonlocated in the upper right corner of the screen. The administrator will then be presented with the password screen again.Once the Setup Menu appears the administrator will then need to select the “Configure Main Menu” button. The administratorwill then be presented with the Main Menu Configuration screen as shown in Figure 29.The L-3 CrewMate 840 EFB is delivered with some example buttons configured in the Main Menu. These are displayed in thescroll list in Figure 29. Each line in the scroll list represents an application button, unless the line contains “SUBMENU” or“ENDSUBMENU.” An application button configured within the “SUBMENU” and “ENDSUBMENU” lines will be displayed in themenu hierarchy as part of the defined submenu screen.While the GUI can be configured with an unlimited number of nested Sub Menus it is suggested that configurations not exceed5 to 6 sub levels. Sub menus deeper than this can create a configuration that is difficult to navigate.
L-3 CrewMate 840Installation ManualPage 16Rev. 04Feb. 17/15165E4860-00When a line in the scroll list is selected, the information is parsed and appears in group boxes at the bottom of the screen. Theuser can modify the existing information by making changes and selecting the “Update” button in the group box.If a new button is wanted, the “Add” button should be selected. When the “Add” button is selected, a new line will appear in thescroll list that defines the button. This new line will appear below the selected line.The order in the scroll list dictates the order that the buttons will appear on the Main Menu. The order can be modified byselecting a line to be moved and using the “Move Up” or “Move Down” keys.NOTE: All new entries must be added with the “Add” button before the “Update” button is used. After find-ing an application to add to the menus the administrator must enter the title and application path tobe added and then select the “Add” button before doing anything else.Hitting the “Update” button will overwrite whatever was highlighted on the screen and there is noundo option. Adding Optional information will not be placed into the menu until the “Update” buttonis selected.The information needed for an application launch button consists of the following:SButton Title: The text that will appear on the button in the Main Menu.SApplication Path: The path to the application s executable file. The “Browse ” button provides a find file dialog toassist in configuration.SCmd Line Arguments: (Optional) This field enables the administrator to define additional arguments to be passed tothe application. This field is useful if the administrator wants to set application parameters or other similar actions.SWorking Directory: (Optional) This field sets the working directory of the selected application. Many Windows XP ap-plications require this reference to be the installation directory in order to run properly.To configure a SubMenu, the administrator needs to enter the Button Title only. Selecting the “Add” button will insert two linesinto the scroll list − for the start and end of the defined SubMenu. The administrator can then add application launch buttons tothe SubMenu using the previous instructions or move existing buttons into the SubMenu. SubMenus can be layered withineach other as desired. Each new SubMenu level will cause an indentation of the scroll list line to assist with configuration.After the configuration is complete, the administrator must select the “Save” button at the bottom of the screen. This newconfiguration will be applied the next time the EFB GUI starts (upon power−cycle of the unit, or closing and launching againfrom the Start menu).4.8 Touchscreen CalibrationThe L-3 CrewMate 840 EFB requires a touchscreen calibration in order to insure proper interaction. This calibration isperformed though the use of the IRTouchscreen Calibration icon located on the DU desktop. When this calibration is run theinterface will prompt the user to use the pointer to write on the touch screen as shown in Figure 30. When this is done thepointer will leave a writing trail for the user to check.If the on-screen writing satisfactorily resembles what the user intended, then the user can select the Cancel button to exit therecalibration tool.If the on-screen writing does not resemble what the user intended, then the user can select the ReCalibrate button. When thisoption is selected the interface will provide on-screen bullseyes as shown in Figure 31. The user must touch the center of thesebullseyes to align the DU sensitivity. After each bullseye is touched the DU will return to the Test screen shown in Figure 30.Here the user can write again to test the DU’s response. If the response is satisfactory the user must select the “Ok” to acceptthe new calibration.

The DU battery requires periodic testing and inspection asdetailed in Section 7.3.7.1 DU Screen CleaningThe glass screen of the DU can be cleaned with any household glass cleaner and a lint free cloth. A small amount of the glasscleaner should be applied to the lint cloth before the cloth is used to clean the screen. Glass cleaner should not be sprayeddirectly on to the DU.7.2 Li−Ion Battery ParticularsThe DU contains one Li-Ion battery as an internal power supply. This battery is charged through the DU when the DU is placedin the Docking Station. The DU can also be charged through the supplied A/C Adapter. The battery will act as a secondarypower source insuring that the DU remains operational if aircraft power is intermittent. Power is supplied to the Docking Stationthrough the AIU.The Li-Ion battery contains three polymer cells (Kokam p/n SLPB5043128H3). This battery is not field repairable and shouldnot be opened under any circumstances. Altering the battery can result in damage to both the battery as well as the DU.Replacement Li-Ion batteries should only be obtained through L-3 Aviation Recorders to insure compatibility.The Li-Ion battery used in the DU has been tested to DO-311 standards.In situations where the Display Unit battery is removed, the DU can be used in the Docking Station or with the A/C adapter. Inthese situations extreme care should be taken that the DU is completely shut down before undocking or removing from A/Cpower.7.3 Battery Electrical CheckFAA requires that the Display Unit Li-Ion battery be routinely checked every 15 months for proper operation and battery life.Please perform the steps detailed below to accomplish this.7.3.1 Battery Electrical CheckBefore performing the battery check the Display Unit battery should be fully charged. This can be accomplished by chargingthe DU through the AC adapter for at least three hours. During this time the DU should be powered off. If the DU is powered onduring the AC adapter charge then at least six hours should be given for this charging process.(1) The DU should be removed from the docking station before being turned on. In addition the DU should not beplugged into the AC Adapter.
L-3 CrewMate 840Installation ManualPage 24Rev. 04Feb. 17/15165E4860-00(2) Turn on DU under battery power.(3) While operating only on battery power the DU should be used in a manner consistent with its typical operation.To insure the integrity of the test no abnormal operations (disk defragmentation, virus scanning, copying of largefiles, etc.) should be done at this time. All applications except for the L-3 EFB GIU should be closed.(4) The increase brightness bezel button should be pressed until full DU brightness is exhibited.(5) The DU should then provide at least twenty minutes of operation without any low battery warnings or automaticforced shut downs. A forced shut down occurs when the stored voltage of the DU battery becomes so low thatthe operating system institutes a mandatory stand−by or inert mode to preserve data integrity.(6) If the DU should fail this twenty minute battery test then the battery should be replaced. Please contact ProductSupport for additional instructions regarding shipping and replacing of the failing battery.If the DU battery should fail the Display Unit can still be used through the docking station or AC adapter. In these situationsextreme care should be taken that the DU is fully shut down before it is removed from the docking station or AC adapter.7.3.2 Battery Physical CheckAs part of the routine 15 month check, the physical integrity of the Li-Ion battery should also be inspected. The Li-Ion batteryshould be free from swelling and corrosion.Before performing this procedure the DU should be shut down from the User Interface. The DU should also be disconnectedfrom both the docking station as well as the AC Adapter.(1) Remove 4 Philips−head screws from battery lid on rear housing.BATTERYLID SCREWSFigure 36.
