Oil temperature is displayed both graphically and digitally. As oil
temperature rises, the digital value and graph size increases
proportionately. Temperature is displayed in either Fahrenheit or
Celsius units (as set in the MISCELLANEOUS menu).
The full color range marks let you see at a glance how close to red
line oil temperature you are.
The digital display shows in 1 degree increments to a maximum of
290 degrees F (143 degrees C). This is very useful for monitoring
typical engine oil cooling system performance.
For new engine installations, you can take advantage of the high
accuracy and repeatability for analyzing the engine oil cooler system
efficiency. If the cooling does not seem to be effective enough, you
can make changes and repeat your tests with the confidence that the
next test data will reflect the results of your changes.
Oil Temperature Alert
If the oil temperature rises above redline (as set in ENGINE LIMITS
menu 50.5), the display will flash until the problem is corrected.
Fuel Computer System Operation
WARNING
Improper use of the fuel flow computer or suspected
erroneous or intermittent operation will give you incorrect
information and may result in premature fuel exhaustion. Do
not use as the primary means of fuel quantity management.
Insure that you understand the operation of this system
completely and carefully monitor its performance before and
during flight. Verify the systems operation for your intended
use by comparing actual burned fuel versus the indicated
burned fuel brn.
Fuel Pressure is displayed both digitally and graphically. As fuel
pressure rises, the graph rises proportionately. Full color operating range
marks and graphics are provided that indicate the normal operating range
of fuel pressure for your engine at a glance. The digital display allows
