1 Introduction1.1 TheBlueMAXmoduleTheBlueMAXmodulecapturesserialdatafromanAvidyneenginemonitoringsystemandstreamsitviaBluetoothLowEnergytoportabledevices.Thisenablessupplementaryenginedatatobedisplayedandloggedonaportabledevice.

TheBlueMAXinstallationisnotintendedtoreplaceprimaryengineinstruments.

Optionally,themodulemayalsobeconnectedtotheserialGPSdatatransmittedbythe#1GPSnavigatortotheMFD,providingnavigationdatatotheportabledeviceviaBluetoothtoenablecalculationssuchasfuelatdestination.

1.2 ApplicabilityTheBlueMAXmoduleisintendedforinstallationintoaircraftalreadyfittedwithanAvidyneenginemonitoringsystem,utilizingeitheraDataAcquisitionUnit(DAU)oraSerialInterfaceUnit(SIU.)ThemajorityofsuchinstallationsareinCirrusSR22andSR20aircraft,andtheseinstructionsrelatespecificallytothosemodels.
