Product catalog summary
Introduction
The document introduces the electronic flap control system by Flybox Avionics, highlighting its role in aiding pilots with flap position control, particularly during landing. The system is designed to reduce pilot workload and enhance safety.

New Versions and Features
The latest versions, EFC57 PLUS and AIR EFC, include enhancements such as additional short-circuit protection, a USB input for firmware upgrades, and the ability to connect a slave unit. These improvements build on the reliability of previous systems, offering enhanced safety and comfort.

Operation and Safety Features
The EFC57 PLUS operates by allowing users to select from four pre-stored flap positions, automatically adjusting the flaps accordingly. The AIR EFC version offers additional safety by associating each flap position with a maximum speed limit, preventing flap damage due to excessive speed. The "Auto/Manu" function provides manual control in case of electronic failure.

Slave Unit Functionality
The slave unit enables a second pilot to control the flaps when necessary, communicating with the master unit via a CAN BUS connection.

Technical Specifications
  • Panel mount: 2-1/4” (57 mm)
  • ASI sensor range: 30-400 Km/h
  • Supply voltage: 10 ~ 30 V=
  • Supply current no load: 60mA
  • MAX load current: 10A
  • Operating temperature range: -20 ~ +70°C
  • Humidity: 90% max (without condensation)
  • Communication: 1 CAN bus
  • USB port: USB 2.0

Compatibility
The system is compatible with linear potentiometers (cod. 104000), linear actuators (cod. 105000), and new flap controllers including AIR EFC and EFC57 PLUS.

Flybox Avionics AIREFC, EFC57PLUS-1

Your trusted electronic flap control, enhanced Since its release, our electronic flap control system has been helping pilots control the flap position, reducing the workload especially during landing. The two new versions, EFC57 PLUS and AIR EFC, feature additional shortcircuit protection, a USB input for firmware upgrades, and the capability to connect a slave unit. The now well-known reliability of the previous system is further improved, providing the pilot with all the comfort of a known solution, with implemented safety. The mode of operation of EFC57 PLUS remains unchanged: simply select one of four positions previously stored by the user, then your new Controller will automatically move the flaps to the exact position. In addition, in the AIR EFC version (available both with 4 and 3 positions), the pilot associates each flap position with a maximum speed, beyond which the flap cannot be lowered, thus preventing the risk of flap breakage. The “Auto/Manu” safety function allows the pilot to have complete control even in case of failure, bypassing the electronics completely when switching to Manual mode. The slave units The slave (or repeater) unit allows the second pilot to take control of the flaps when needed. The instrument in this case communicates the desired flap position to the master unit via CAN BUS connection. ASI sensor range: 30-400 Km/h Supply voltage: 10 ~ 30 V=. Supply current no load: 60mA. MAX load current: 10A. Operating temperature range: -20 ~ +70°C. ALWAYS COMPATIBLE WITH: LINEAR ACTUATOR (cod. 105000) LINEAR POTENTIOMETER (cod. 104000) Humidity: 90% max (without condensation). Communication through 1 CAN bus. USB port: for USB 2.0 For more visit us at: www.flyboxavionic
