It is suggested that Aeolus_Sense PRO is always connected to a power source, and is operated
with the battery-switch on. In case of power-failure, Aeolus_Sense PRO will continue its
operation   after   a   short   reboot   (please   make   sure   you   reconnect   to   the   FlySense   WiFi
network). 

Please note that, in the latter case, i.e. power failure and operation on the internal battery,

the tethered connection (see below section 1.3, paragraph “USB Cable Connection”) to the smart
device (smartphone or tablet) will not work, and you must enable the wifi connection.

Important Note:

 Always make sure to turn the battery-switch off when Aeolus_Sense PRO is not in

operation and the mains aircraft switch is off. In the opposite case, the device will remain turned
on, powered by its internal battery, until the battery is completely drained.

  1.3 Software – EFIS TA application

Aeolus_Sense PRO  operates with the free EFIS TA  app offered by TalosAvionics. EFIS TA app
has been tested to comply with ASTM F3153 – 15 Standard Specification for Verification of
Avionics Systems. EFIS TA app runs  on smart devices (tablets or smartphones) with iOS or
Android operating systems.

EFIS TA app for Android can be downloaded from 

Google Play Market. 

   

EFIS TA app for iOS can be downloaded from 

Apple’s App Store. 

            

EFIS TA software instructions can be downloaded from

EFIS   TA  app   may   operate   in   standalone   mode,   when   the   smart   mobile   device   is   not

connected to a Aeolus_Sense PRO, or --

preferably

-- in connected mode, when the smart  device

is connected to a Aeolus_Sense PRO. 

When EFIS TA app runs on a smart device in standalone mode, it displays a relevant message

informing the pilot about operation in standalone  mode and runs  by  employing the internal
sensors of the smart mobile  device (assuming that the latter is equipped with the necessary
sensors). When the smart mobile device is connected to a Aeolus_Sense PRO via a cable-adaptor
or   via   wifi,   the   EFIS   TA  app   automatically   recognizes  Aeolus_Sense   PRO,   and   the   above
message   disappears.   If,   for   any   reason,   connection   to   the  Aeolus_Sense   PRO   is   lost   (e.g.
Aeolus_Sense PRO is turned off due to: power failure & battery-switch in off position), EFIS TA
app switches automatically to standalone mode and the message reappears, warning the pilot. 

From the main screen of the EFIS TA app interface, you can tap on “MENU” button and

navigate to “sensor status window” and check the status of the sensors, as depicted in Fig. 3
below.
