 MiniUni 2 and MiniUni 3 EFIS
Specification and Installation Instructions

1. Introduction
MiniUni Electronic Flight Instrument (EFIS) is an advanced electronic device which is designed to provide
various flight information to pilots of experimental airplanes. MiniUni EFIS is non-TSO certified as a flight
instrument. This EFIS is available in two form factors and fits in standard aviation panel openings 2 ¼”
(model: MiniUni2-P) and 3 1/8” (model: MiniUni3-P). Functionality of both units is very similar with very
minor differences. This product manual is intended to describe EFIS functionality, installation and
operation.

Please note: in this document “MiniUni”, “device”, “unit” and “instrument” are used interchangeably
when reference is made to all models of MiniUni.

2. General Description
MiniUni EFIS is an electronic device which is comprised of a microcontroller, an LCD display, a
housing case and various built-in sensors, including: gyroscope, accelerometer, static and
dynamic pressure sensors and GPS receiver. In addition, there are two external sensors: GPS
antenna and outside air temperature (OAT) sensor. LCD display built into EFIS is used to display
all of the flight information.

MiniUni EFIS consists of two distinct modules: graphics processing unit (GPU) and sensors
processing unit (also known as Attitude and Heading Reference System or simply “AHRS”). The
first one is directly connected to the display and is used to control LCD display and all output
data. The second processing unit is connected to all of the sensors and is intended to read and
process all sensors’ data. Both processing units have their own firmware and work
independently of each other. They communicate with each other at a high speed using
dedicated protocol.
For all user controls and inputs there is a rotating knob (in both models of MiniUni) and also
two push buttons (in MiniUni3 only). Both models of MiniUni have built in SD card slot for
MicroSD card. This card is used for all firmware updates as well as for logs and flight data export
function. MicroSD card must be FAT formatted and should have a size of no more than 16Gb.
There are two different versions of each unit which are GPS only based or GPS + Dynamic/Static
based.

Specification and Installation Instructions

4. AHRS (sensors processing unit)

Attitude and Heading Reference System (“AHRS”) is based on accelerometer, gyroscope,

dynamic pressure and GPS sensors. These sensors are required for proper calculation of the
attitude and heading which includes roll, pitch, yaw and heading information. In addition,
depending on the unit version additional sensors may be used for AHRS calculations (such as
outside air temperature sensor, magnetometer, etc).

Information from the sensors is taken and processed in the sensors processing unit (AHRS).
Complex mathematical calculations are performed and digital filtering is applied to information
provided by the sensors to estimate current Roll, Pitch and Yaw (“RPY”) and show them on the
display via artificial horizon indication. Depending on the sensors used in calculations, the
output provided by the sensors and other factors, the estimated RPY may produce some errors.
GPS data is required for MiniUni to minimize the errors in RPY calculations, especially when in
banked turn. It is strongly recommended to always have GPS antenna connected to the unit
because the GPS course as well as a few other parameters taken from the GPS sensor are
crucial for correct attitude estimations. Coordinated flight will also minimize the errors in RPY
calculations.

Reminder for pilots: It is very important to always remain in a coordinated flight. Coordinated
flight is an essential requirement for precise RPY estimation. Uncoordinated flight for a short
period of time will not produce enough errors for RPY to become invalid, however a
prolonged uncoordinated flight will lead to significant amount of errors in RPY calculations.

When an uncoordinated flight is experienced, RPY parameters will likely be displayed with
errors, in other words the artificial horizon position will not depict true horizon, as experienced
by the pilot. After coordinated flight is resumed it will take approximately 20-35 seconds for
RPY parameters to correct themselves and to return to their correct position.

Steep banking turns (over 50-55⁰) may also produce some errors in RPY output because some
parameters may exceed the upper or lower threshold of some sensors. After coordinated flight
is resumed it will take approximately 20-35 seconds for RPY parameters to correct themselves
and to return to their correct position.

Aerobatic exercises will likely produce significant errors in artificial horizon and attitude
indications due to limitations of the sensors. After normal flight conditions are resumed it may
take more than 1 minute for parameters to stabilize and correct attitude to show on the
display.

Specification and Installation Instructions

5. Pitot and Static systems

MiniUni EFIS is available in two different configurations: (1) GPS based only version and (2)
Pitot/Static + GPS version. The differences between these versions are described below.

AirSpeed True AirSpeed Ground speed

GPS based only ● (as air speed)
Pitot/Static + GPS ● ● ●

(1) GPS based only – This version has built-in backup pressure sensor for all precise altitude
and vertical speed calculations. Ground speed is calculated based on the information
provided by GPS sensor. The Pitot and Static ports are not available in this version.
Airspeed and True Airspeed (TAS) indicators from pitot sensor are NOT available in this
version. This version of MiniUni will likely be used as an additional backup instrument
with enhanced functionality. Outside air temperature (OAT) probe is optional for this
unit and is not included in package.

(2) Pitot/Static + GPS – This version has precise built-in dynamic and static pressure sensors
with Pitot and Static ports on the back side of the unit. The Pitot sensor acts as the
primary source for airspeed information, however in case when airspeed information
from Pitot sensor is considered non-reliable (as determined by manufacturer-defined
internal errors threshold), the ground speed will be shown instead and will be based on
the GPS sensor with appropriate alert on the display.
True Airspeed (TAS) is available in this version when Outside Air Temperature (OAT)
probe is installed and connected. All additional enhanced functionality is also available
in this version of unit.

Pitot and Static ports are NPT 3/8”-27 threaded or quick release ¼”connectors. All recent (2023)
manufactured units come with quick release ¼” ports.

⚠️ Important installation tip: When plumbing connectors are installed it is important to use two
wrenches to ensure that NPT 3/8”-27 female port on the unit is held by the wrench while
respective male NPT connector is screwed in. Failure to do so will easily unscrew female NPT
connector inside of the unit and may cause further functionality issues.

 MiniUni 2 and MiniUni 3 EFIS
Specification and Installation Instructions

When pitot/static lines are connected to the unit it is very important to perform pitot/static
leak test on the airplane to ensure that all connections are properly plumbed and sealed.
Airspeed and altitude sensors are factory calibrated and do not require additional calibration
after installation.

6. LCD Display

All models of MiniUni utilize LCD displays with 320 x 240px resolution with good color
transmission and contrast.

MiniUni3 utilizes high brightness sunlight readable technology display 3.5” diagonal. This
display is a TFT LCD with bright backlight which is intended for use in applications where direct
sunlight is present.

MiniUni2 utilizes sunlight readable, transflective technology display 2.25” diagonal. This display,
compared to the display utilized in MiniUni3, is slightly dimmer, but is easily readable under
direct sunlight in all flight conditions. Transflective technology utilizes different layers that are
activated depending on the level of illumination. In bright sunlight, the display acts mainly as
reflective display. In dim ambient light or at night, the display works in transmissive mode.

Both units (MiniUni2 and MiniUni3) have built-in ambient light sensors on the front panel. Auto
brightness feature can be enabled in the “Settings” menu > “General config” submenu.

 MiniUni 2 and MiniUni 3 EFIS
Specification and Installation Instructions

MiniUni3: If auto brightness feature is turned “ON” in MiniUni3 the brightness of the display
will automatically adjust based on the ambient light - display will be brighter in direct sunlight
and will be dimmer at night.

MiniUni2: If auto brightness feature is turned “ON” in MiniUni2, the brightness of the display
will automatically adjust based on the ambient light, however, compared to MiniUni3, the
effect will be negligent due to transflective technology used in the display. Trasnflective
technology does not require increased brightness of the display to stay readable in bright
sunlight. In both direct sunlight and dim ambient light, the display will remain readable whether
auto brightness feature is turned “ON” or “OFF”. It is recommended that user tries both modes
to find optimal setting for the eye and particular setup.

Displays in both models are non-touch. Avoid pushing on the display with finger or other
objects and avoid cleaning the displays with abrasive chemicals not designed for cleaning of
LCD displays...

⚠️ Important installation warning: Excessive length of mounting screws may damage the LCD
display in MiniUni3. Carefully read section 7 below to see what kind of screws are required for
installation.

7. Product installation

7.1 Space requirements

MiniUni2 and MiniUni3 are both easy to install. MiniUni2 fits into 2.25” opening in the
instrument panel. MiniUni3 fits into 3.125” opening in the instrument panel. Each unit has
four mounting holes on the front panel. It is sufficient to use only three (3) mounting points
to firmly hold the instrument in place, however use of all four is recommended when
possible.

The installation depth of the unit for both MiniUni2 and MiniUni3 will require approximately
85mm (not including depth of the plumbing for Pitot and Static lines).

7.2 LCD Display Installation

⚠️ Important installation warning: Excessive length of mounting screws may damage the LCD
display in MiniUni3. Carefully read the section below to see what kind of screws are required for
installation.

Mounting holes

Part of LCD Display is located

underneath mounting holes

Due to the design of MiniUni3, the top corners of the display are located directly underneath
the top two threaded mounting holes. When mounting the unit to the panel, special attention
should be paid to the length of machine screws used for the top two threaded holes.
Each MiniUni3 kit comes with four (4) machine screws that are 10mm long which are
recommended for use with panels that are at least 1.6mm thick. For panels with thickness of
1.6mm or less, it is possible to use any other machine screws (#6-32) that are no longer than
10mm. For thicker panels, slightly longer screws may be required. For thinner panel slightly
shorter screws may be required to avoid damaging the LCD display.

The use of longer machine screws for the top two mounting holes in MiniUni3 will likely cause
the machine screw to reach the surface of the LCD display, which may damage the display.
Please note that such damage is not covered by warranty for the product!

Specification and Installation Instructions

7.3 Proper alignment of the instrument

It is assumed that the instrument panel is always perpendicular to the airplane’s flightpath. For
proper operation of MiniUni, AHRS sensors’ (such as accelerometer and gyroscope) X axis must
point in the same direction as the flight path, Y axis must be perpendicular to the flight path and
Z axis must be perpendicular to the ground. If instrument panel is NOT perpendicular to the
flight path, AHRS sensors’ axis will be misaligned, and therefore the device will not operate
correctly – in this case the device will need to be calibrated or leveled. For AHRS sensors leveling
procedure please see appropriate section in this manual.

7.4 Connections
On the back side of the unit there are two or more main connectors depending on the version
of the product. For all electrical connections MiniUni utilizes a 26 pin D-SUB male pins
connector located in the center. Female D-SUB connector is included with the kit for all wiring.
Recommended wire gauge is 22AWG-24AWG.

Pitot line is marked as ‘P’ and Static lines is marked as ‘S’ on the back of the unit. It is
recommended that the installer labels the tubing connected to the two ports. This will ensure
that correct connections will be made, should unit be removed / reinstalled. MiniUni units
come with quickconnect ¼” connectors for Pitot and Static ports preinstalled.

Specification and Installation Instructions

GPS Antenna:

The GPS port uses SMA type female connector. Any type of GPS antenna with SMA male
connector and 3.3V-5V voltage level can be used. Magnetic mount GPS antenna is included with
the kit. The best location for the GPS antenna would be on top of the instrument panel under
the windshield window where best and unobscured sky visibility is achieved. GPS antenna
should never be mounted underneath the panel or behind the panel.

In case when antenna is installed outside of the airplane on the roof, it must be secured to the
surface using a very strong adhesive, to ensure that the antenna will withstand strong winds. If
planning to install the GPS antenna on the roof of the airplane, please seek advice from an
experienced aviation maintenance specialist.

quality and robustness of the wiring. Kit includes female D-SUB 26pin connector header
(soldering or crimp in pins option). Plastic enclosure for the connector header is also provided.
In case of wires soldering ensure that they are properly attached without cold soldering.

CAN Bus termination:

MiniUni can be installed in the airplane together with compatible 360 Avionics external
magnetometer and/or engine monitor, and connected to a single CAN line. When MiniUni is
installed on its own (without an external magnetometer, VICS voice module and/or engine
monitor module), it is required to install 120 Ohm termination resistor (included with the kit)
between pin 3 and pin 4 for CAN line. The resistor must be installed on the connector and left
inside of the enclosure.

When external module (DEV) such as ENGOOD engine monitor, VICS voice information system
or external magnetometer is installed, CAN bus termination resistor must be installed to
terminate the CAN bus at the end of the CAN bus line. See diagram below:

 MiniUni 2 and MiniUni 3 EFIS
Specification and Installation Instructions

Power bus:

Use AWG22 or less gauge of wires to connect power to the unit (pins 1,2,25,26). It is required
to have 3A circuit breaker on power line for the MiniUni. This circuit breaker should be
accessible from pilot’s seat. Ground wire can be connected to chassis ground or directly to the
battery negative terminal.

Power line with circuit breaker is usually connected via Avionics master switch or via Main
master switch depends on the airplane configuration.

 MiniUni 2 and MiniUni 3 EFIS
Specification and Installation Instructions

OAT Sensor (probe):

Outside air temperature (“OAT”) sensor is optional and can be connected to the MiniUni.
Depending on the version of the unit, additional features will become available.

GPS based: When OAT sensor is installed in this version, OAT will become available on the
display, but True Air Speed (TAS) will not be available.

Pitot/Static + GPS version: When OAT sensor is installed additional information such as True Air
Speed (TAS) and OAT will become available on the display.

OAT sensor is a digital probe which is enclosed in a threaded aluminum housing. Standard cable
length of 59” (150cm) should be sufficient to install OAT sensor on the same side where
MiniUni unit is installed. You may always extend OAT cable length to desired length, but should
not exceed 14.76’ (4.5 m). If cable extension is necessary, always properly extend and isolate
wires connections to avoid electrical shortage and possible unit damage.

OAT sensor is connected to main 26pin connector pins:

10 – OAT sensor power (+3V3)

17 – GND
19 – OAT sensor input signal

OAT sensor should be installed in a way that exposes its sensing surface to the outside air. It is
important to avoid installation of the sensor in close proximity to engine heat, exhaust pipes
and exhaust heat.

OAT pinout:

Note: Wire colors of the sensors may vary depending on the model.

Version 1 Version 2 Function

Orange strip Red OAT sensor power (+3V3)
White Black GND
Blue strip Yellow OAT sensor output signal

Please note that if OAT sensor is installed in a position where it cannot measure real outside
temperature (installation inside of the cabin, near heat source, etc) the OAT, TAS, Density
Altitude and certain other information will be inaccurately calculated and displayed by MiniUni.
It is possible to Disable OAT sensor from “Settings” menu > “External devices” submenu.

OAT Sensor (probe) installation:

Carefully evaluate the best location for the OAT sensor, considering the limitations referenced
above (ex: maximum length of the cable, locations of heat sources, etc.). Consider the airplane
strength integrity, when selecting a safe location for the probe from – do not drill through
integral structural parts such as spars, etc. Once the location is identified, drill the hole through
the skin of the airplane.

1. Install the probe in the hole, tighten the nut. Be sure to use Loctite (Blue) on the thread
to prevent the probe from unscrewing due to vibrations in the chassis.

Please note that currently RS232 ports are ONLY available in MiniUni3 model.

8. AHRS sensors leveling procedure and Pitch Adjust

8.1 AHRS sensors leveling procedure

In most airplanes the instrument panel is perpendicular to the flight path and perpendicular to
the ground when airplane is leveled (such as in normal cruise flight). During production each
MiniUni is calibrated for such installation, and proper offset values are recorded into the
memory of the device. Each time the device is turned “ON”, the offset values are automatically
used to calibrate the device. However, there may be cases when re-calibration of sensors is
required.
If re-calibration is required, the following procedure should be followed:

1. Level airplane, ensure its position is the same as in a straight and leveled flight (cruise
attitude). Airplane should be leveled in both pitch and roll axis. Consult with your aircraft
maintenance engineer if required. Use jacks to level airplane when applicable.

2023 © 360 Avionics Corp. All Rights Reserved. P a g e 20 | 53

 MiniUni 2 and MiniUni 3 EFIS
Specification and Installation Instructions

2. Turn on MiniUni and wait until it boots up and AHRS is ready.

3. Once the device is booted, if artificial horizon indicator is not displayed on the screen,
you will need to select it:
 MiniUni3 – push the right button
 MiniUni2 – push the main knob

4. When the artificial horizon indicator is displayed, push and hold the knob for 3 seconds
to go into the ‘Settings menu’.

5. Rotate the knob and select “AHRS config” submenu, then select ‘Accl Cal Ovrd’. If this
option is not visible, continue rotating the knob until you find it.

6. To select menu option (‘Accl Cal Ovrd’) push the knob The selector background will
change from white to blue.

7. Rotate the knob to select ‘Re-Cal’

8. Push the knob to start recalibration process. The note will change to “Disabled”. This
means that re-calibration process has started.

9. After 3-4 seconds the following message ‘Updating Please Wait’ will show up on the
display along with backward moving timer.

10. Once the calibration is completed, you will return to the “AHRS Config” submenu and
the setting option will automatically change back to “Enabled”.

11. Select “…” from the menu to return to the “Setting” Menu.

12. Push the knob and hold it for 3 seconds to return back to the “Artificial Horizon” mode.

13. Calibration of AHRS is completed at this time. Make sure that you have horizon
calibrated properly.

14. To verify that calibration was completed successfully, open ‘Info Page’. To do so, switch
to Voltmeter mode:
 MiniUni3: push the right button

15. MiniUni2: push the knob Once in Voltmeter menu, open the “Info page”:
 MiniUni3: push the knob

16. MiniUni2: push the knob and hold it for 3 seconds Ensure that Roll and Pitch are at
“zero”. Yaw does not need to be at “zero”.

17. Calibration is completed and verified.

18. Exit the “Info Page”:

 MiniUni3: push the right button
MiniUni2: push the knob

8.2 Pitch Adjust

In some cases, you may only need to adjust the pitch for a single flight. In this case, you may
want to use “Pitch Adjust” option instead of “AHRS sensors leveling procedure”.

1. In the “Settings Menu” select “General Config”, then “Pitch Adjust”

2. Chose the correct number of “degrees” to compensate for the pitch. If on the ‘artificial
horizon indicator” the nose is pointing downward, select a number below “0”; if on the
artificial horizon indicator, the nose is pointing “upward”, select a number above “0”.

Pitch adjust will reset to “0” when the device is powered “OFF”.

9. Maintenance and Repair

AHRS leveling procedure should be performed annually (every 12 months). Pitot/static systems
leak test should be performed every 24 months to ensure proper operation of the device.
There are no field repairable parts inside of the MiniUni. In case of any malfunction, the unit
should be returned to the manufacturer for test and repair.

Specification and Installation Instructions

10. Firmware Update Procedure

GPU and AHRS modules within the MiniUni, operate using two distinct firmwares.
Each unit comes preloaded with the latest available firmware at time of production, however
future firmware updates are possible via SD card.

Note: It is strongly recommended to have airplane battery connected to external trickle charger
for the duration of the firmware update. This is needed to avoid unexpected power outage and
unsuccessful firmware update.

Should firmware update be available and required for your unit it can be performed in a few
easy steps:

1. Download firmware from www.360avionics.com or receive by email from a 360 Avionics

technical support agent.

2. Copy firmware update file to a microSD card. MiniUni usually comes with the SD card of
4Gb or bigger size. Make sure that the SD card is formatted to FAT file system. Firmware should
be copied to the root of the microSD card.
