6.2.1.1 Lighting
The lighting configuration defines the type of LCD backlight dimming control being used for the KSD
100EXP PFD and KCP 100EXP Control Panel. The KSD 100EXP has an integrated light sensor for display
brightness, and supports usage of an external brightness control for the KCP 100EXP. The dimming
control is configured as 28 VDC or 14 VDC. Based on the selected option, the KSD 100EXP will use the
dimming voltage from either the 14 VDC or 28 VDC dimming bus.

be set using the External Dimming Calibration menu as shown in Figure 6-10, to sync the brightness levels
with cockpit lighting.
