About this Guide
In this Best Practices User Guide, to explain GenEWIS’ functions, an Airbus “Demo”
Customization for A350 aircraft (MSN: 09801, TN: F-GTM001, Eng Mod: TrentXWB-84) is
used.
GenEWIS is currently only available for the A350 aircraft program and shall be available for
the Single Aisle (SA) aircraft program in May 2023. Therefore, customers with the A350 can
use their aircraft to follow along with the User Guide.
Customers without A350 aircraft can create a TechRequest to gain access to the Airbus
“Demo” A350 aircraft (MSN: 09801, TN: F-GTM001, Eng Mod TrentXWB-84).
The revision date for the aircraft technical data used in this guide is July 1, 2022.
It must be strongly noted that the wiring diagrams presented in this guide differ from the user’s
wiring diagrams. Consequently, the user must apply and adapt the information given in this
guide relative to their diagrams.

About GenEWIS
GenEWIS is an application that allows the user to dynamically generate any kind and any size
of wiring diagram, following an end-user query. This dynamic interaction is possible using
electrical data from the aircrafts’ electrical components.
GenEWIS is used to:

 Accelerate access to Airbus electrical data during troubleshooting
 Compute any electrical path and provide interactive navigation
 Generate on-demand wiring diagrams that can be easily personalized.
GenEWIS eliminates the need to manually trace out the electrical circuit using highlighters on
several printed sheets of the drawings. Hence, it gives a leaner way to structure wiring content
providing better readability – displaying normative symbols – and increased efficiency for
troubleshooting and maintenance activities.

Chapter 5 Printing/Archiving Diagrams
If necessary, to save and then print a generated wiring diagram from GenEWIS, click on the pdf button
( ). A pop-up window with printing options is displayed.
Before printing, the user must ensure that the diagram is readable on the required paper format (i.e. on
A3 format a wiring diagram with up to 30 wires) or split the wiring diagram in several sheets and
recompile the sheets together manually.
Figure 60 GenEWIS Printing Options
There are three printing choices as seen in the figure above. When an option is selected, the wiring
diagram is downloaded as a PDF on the device.
The recommended options are “Print diagram in one sheet” and “Print current view in one
sheet”.
