NOW AVAILABLE
TO ALL HOMEBUILDERS

The Advanced Control Module
Previously only available with ADVANCEDPANEL Complete, the ACM is now available to all E-AB and LSA pilots that install Dynon or Advanced Flight Systems avionics in their aircraft.

DYNON ACM Advanced Control Module

The Advanced Control Module (ACM) is a groundbreaking avionics control center that revolutionizes aircraft electrical system management. It seamlessly integrates and automates a wide range of common aircraft avionics, wiring, and electrical peripherals to save time, simplify installation, and enhance safety.

ADVANCED CONTROL MODULE

Speed up aircraft systems installation by hundreds of hours. The Advanced Control Module (ACM) is a groundbreaking avionics control center that revolutionizes aircraft electrical system management. It seamlessly integrates and automates a wide range of common aircraft avionics, wiring, and electrical peripherals to save time, simplify installation, and enhance safety.
All systems connect to the ACM with customized harnesses, enabling a “plug and play” avionics installation while saving hundreds of hours of wiring, crimping, troubleshooting and frustration.

Safety-Enhancing

Electronic Circuit Protection
Each aircraft system is protected by a dedicated electronic circuit breaker (ECB) in the ACM that is customized in software to meet device load and circuit requirements. The SkyView or AFS avionics system continuously monitors the entire electrical system for faults, and allows pilots to view comprehensive information about all circuits and systems. The ACM also allows traditional high current-carrying panel switches and wires to be replaced by safer, low-voltage panel-mounted switches that are available with internal lighting.

Centralized Power and Data Distribution
The ACM serves as the central power distribution hub for the aircraft’s electrical system, consolidating power for avionics, headsets, aircraft lights, autopilot servos, trim servos, flap motors, control sticks, and low voltage panel switches.

Simplify Installation and Save Time
The ACM works with a comprehensive line of premade, aircraft and product- specific, ACM harnesses that connect all aircraft avionics and ancillary systems, simplifying wiring and installation. With a plug and play design, panel bring-up has never been quicker.
The ACM’s modular design also facilitates future upgrades as your aircraft mission changes.

Enhanced Avionics Functionality
The ACM goes beyond electrical distribution and protection, offering a host of advanced avionics features that would otherwise require separate components. These include:

  • 27 dedicated channels of solid-state electronic Circuit protection with circuit-level current monitoring and control. Circuits can be physically switched or electronically controlled from Dynon/AFS displays.
  • Built-in SV-ARINC-429 module
  • Multi-step flap positioning system
  • Airspeed-controlled wig-wag lighting
  • Panel switch backlight dimmer
  • Multi-Axis Trim Interface (requires SV-AP-PANEL)
  • Expanded SV Network Hub (4 ports + AP servos)
  • Low voltage panel switch interface with support for in-switch lighting
  • Control stick interface
  • Alternator over-voltage protection, with single or dual alternator support

The most affordable way to install the ACM. Begin with the ACM Jumpstart Kit – available from both Dynon and Advanced. It contains the ACM and the core set of harnesses needed in every aircraft. Then, use the ADVANCEDPANEL Store to finish your system with ACM-specific harnesses and remaining components.

WHO IT’S FOR

The budget-conscious builder that still wants the features and benefits of the ACM, but is comfortable selecting, installing, and configuring their avionics system.
