Configuring the AFS 4500 dual screens
I have dual AFS 4500 screens.
I recently installed an ARINC 429, the TruTrak Vizion 385 and a Garmin 175. I am trying to control my autopilot from my EFIS. How should my screens be configured?
Currently both screens are configured:
Serial Port 1 AVTN/AVTN
Serial Port 2 TRFC/ICARUS
Serial Port 3 SL-30 (I do have an SL-30 installed)
Serial Port 4 disabled
Should Serial Port 1 say AVTN/AVTN or AVTN/ARNV?

I also have the select switch to control the vizion through the EFIS or the GPS.

You will need the AF-ARINC module wired to one of the serial ports probably serial 4. This is what will drive the TruTrak.
Something like https://www.advancedflightsystems.co...%20Adaptor.pdf ignoring the 430 connections and switch.

Thank you Shawn. I do have an AF-ARINC module. I think the issue may be the configuration of the Serial Ports. PFD is configured as follows: Port 1 AVTN/AVTN, Port 2 TRFC/ICARUS, Port 3 SL-30, and Port 4 ARINC. The MFD configuration is: Port 1 AVTN/AVTN, Port 2 DISABLED, Port 3 SL-30 and Port 4 ARINC. Can you comment if I have these configured properly? Do I need to give you any additional information? I can post a pic of my configuration screens if that helps. Would be easier to do that in an email.

I should add that the SL-30 is wired to the PFD.

I made the changes to my configuration as you folks suggested to me on a Facebook post. I still have one question. AFS comment said for me to decide how my SL-30 was wired and it should only be configured to only one screen, the PFD or the MFD. My SL-30 is wired to my PFD. I have the SL-30 configured to Serial Port 3 on the PFD. Should I disable the Serial Port 3 on my MFD that is also configured with the SL-30?
I appreciate all the help.

Yes, disable the Serial Port 3 on the MFD. If its wired to the PFD then the MFD should not be configured to expect a SL-30 wired to ITS serial port #3. The GPS/NAV Data Source 2 will then transfer the (PFD) Serial Port #3, (MFD) Remote NAV
-
Shawn, are you saying that on the MFD I now need to change the GPS/NAV Data Source 2 (on the MFD) to Remote Nav?

Advanced Flight Systems
Yea, looking from the prospective of the MFD the Nav source, SL-30, is physically wired to a Remotely to the screen.
