The EFD-85 is a panel mounted
CRT instrument that may be used as either an electronic attitude director
indicator (EADI) or an electronic horizontal situation indicator (EHSI). When
the EFD-85 is used as an EHSI, it provides a display which has two basic
modes: full compass rose and compass sector. The full compass mode presents
compass rose similar to existing electromechanical instruments. Information
available in this mode includes the following (with defined sensor inputs):
True/magnetic heading, selected heading, selected course, navigation data
source annunciation, lateral deviation, to/from, distance to station
waypoint, ground speed, time-to-go, elapsed time, bearing pointer and
vertical deviation. The compass sector mode presents a portion of the compass
card (approx. 80 degrees) across the top of the display which gives the pilot
basic horizontal situation information in an enlarged, easily readable
format. Other information presented in this mode is similar to that for the
full compass mode. When the EFD-85 is used as an EADI, the instrument
selectively displays the following (with defined sensor inputs): pitch and
toll attitude, steering commands, vertical deviation, localizer deviation,
autopilot mode annunciation, radio altitude, decision height, marker beacon
annunciation and fast-slow deviation.
The EFD-85 displays information generated by the DPU-85 Display Processor
Unit and display intensity is controlled from the DCP-85 Display Control
Panel. The EFD-85 contains a Collins specified custom high resolution color
tube. The tube has an in-line gun with shadow masking using a black matrix
surrounding pigmented phosphor dot trios, providing high resolution and
contrast ratio. A custom design multibandpass optical filter is used to
provide enhanced contrast. Both stroke and raster scanning techniques are
multiplexed to provide large area color background and sharp alphanumerics
and symbols. Variations of the EFD-85 include High Intensity Radiated Field
(HIRF) covers. The EFD-85A includes an auto dimming feature while the EFD-85M
has a Night Vision Imaging.
