Digi — Manual 1. Introduction
1 Introduction
First of all, we would like to thank you for purchasing our device.
Digi is an electronic display, which usually displays engine informa-
tion. In most cases it works in a pair with Daqu (EMS box) unit.
However, Digi can also show other flight parameters. In fact, it can
show most information found on the CAN bus and it is not strictly
limited to EMS only.
This manual describes the technical description of the unit, installa-
tion and operation.
1.1 General Description
Digi is a plug-and-play electronic engine monitoring display. Device
consists of electronics which captures the engine data from CAN bus
and displays it on 4.3 inch sunlight-readable LCD display. The device
itself is only 15 mm thick which allows simple installation even where
space is limited.
Digi can be configured to display most engine or flight parametersthat
are present on CAN bus. It can also display visual alarms when
specific parameter value is out of predefined range.
1.2 Technical Specification
Table 1 shows some basic technical specification of Digi.
1.3 Engine Time
When requested, Digi can be equipped with internal memory device
to count engine time. This is usually required when Digi is the only
device, which connects to the Daqu EMS box.

interface module and Kanja Android app are also required to transfer
the layout into the Digi.
A layout is put on Digi in the following steps:
1. Use the Customizer app on your PC to create the layout.
2. Transfer the resulting layout file to your Android device.
3. Insert the Blu module into Digi and use the Kanja app to copy
the layout file to Digi.
Please refer to the Customizer manual for details about how to crate
the layout and to the Kanja manual for details about how to work
with Android device.
3 Installation & Maintenance
3.1 Mounting Dimensions
Digi requires a 108 x 70 mm rectangular hole in the instrument panel.
The position of the hole must ensure that the instrument is always
visible from the pilot’s perspective.
The instrument is mounted using four M3 screws, washers and nuts.
To prevent internal stresses, please make sure that the instrument
panel is flat. It is recommended that the instrument panel is mounted
using rubber shocks, which reduce the vibrations.
