Electronics International MVP-50P - Manual (Page 16)

The Main Engine Screen provides the aircraft system and engine instruments you will view most frequently during a
flight. There is important information published in the Important Notice section (found in the front of this
manual) that must be read before operating this instrument. Please read the Important Notice section at this
time.
2.1 Power-up Add Fuel Message:
The MVP requires approximately 14 seconds to power-up. You may want to switch on the Master Switch when
first entering the aircraft to insure the MVP is powered up when you are ready to start the engine.
An “Add Fuel Message” located in the engine analyzer section of the screen will appear when the MVP is fully
powered up. The purpose of this message is to remind you to update the fuel computer if you have added fuel to
the aircraft. The MVP not only measures and displays the fuel in the fuel tanks but it also displays the fuel on-board
the aircraft calculated from the fuel flow. This allows you to cross check fuel readings to insure accuracy. The “Add
Fuel Message” can be acknowledged by pressing any button.
2.2 Main Screen Layout:
The Main Engine Screen is laid out in four areas:
RPM and Manifold Pressure (see section 2.3):
The RPM and Manifold Pressure instruments are
located at the top left of the screen. Each of these
instruments incorporates a large arc and digital
display.
Horizontal Strip and Digital Gauges (see
section 2.4): A series of six Horizontal Strip
Gauges (with digital readouts) and four digital
instruments are located on the right side of the
screen.
Engine Analyzer (see section 2.5): The Engine
Analyzer is located on the lower left portion of the
Main Engine Screen. The Engine Analyzer monitors
both EGTs and CHTs. The Engine Analyzer

display and operation of the engine analyzer portion of the screen.
Supporting Instruments (see section 2.6): The digital instruments on the blue background, located in the
middle of the display, are support instruments. Many of these instruments may be configured to display
various functions.
