“Displayed Operating Range (From__To__):” These fields allow you to set the operating range of the Arc or
Horizontal Strip Gauges. Set the “From” and “To” fields approximately 10% below and above the maximum less
minimum operating range. This allows room for the red limit area to show up on the gauge.
“Color Range 1 to 5:” Each color used to set the various ranges of operation have a priority. The priority,
starting from the lowest to highest, is White, Green, Blue, Orange, Pink, Yellow and Red. If one color’s operating
range overlaps another’s, the color with the higher priority will overwrite the color with the lower priority. Normally
the colors blue, orange and pink should only be used to set narrow markers in an Arc or Horizontal Strip Gauge. A
narrow marker can be used to designate RPM or MP values required to achieve specific climb or descent rates,
mark a fuel flow setting for leaning or mark a narrow reference spot on a gauge.
Refer to your aircraft’s POH when setting the Color Ranges. Start with the lowest value and work up to the
highest. White is the default color. If an area is not designated by any color, it will be displayed as white.
FAR 21.1549 requires that the maximum and minimum safe operating ranges be marked in Red, any precautionary
ranges must be marked in Yellow and the normal operating range must be marked in Green. It is important to
adhere to FAR 23.1549 requirements.
“Red & Yellow Ext Warning Logic”: The External Caution and/or Warning Lights may be setup as follows:
“Disabled” - This setting will disable any external warning.
“Off With Ack” - This setting turns off any external warnings once they have been acknowledged.
“Sdy On With Ack” - This setting keep all external warnings steady on once they have been
acknowledged.
“Yellow Off With Ack” - This setting turns off all yellow extenal warnigs when acknowledged but keeps
all red external warnings steady on. This is the perferred setting.
“Voice Warning File”: This line sets the voice file that will be played when a red and/or yellow warning is reached
(as determined by the “Red & Yellow Ext Warning Logic” setting).
6.21 “5. EDC Input Calibration” Screen:
Warning: This screen is for advanced use only and data in this
screen should normally not be changed.
This screen allows you to change the calibration parameters of an
EDC Input used for a specific Probe and Function. In this screen
an EDC Input can be set up to accommodate a wide variety of
nonstandard probes. If any parameter for an EDC Input has been
changed from the factory default, the changed parameters will be
displayed in yellow.
This screen provides the following:
“Input:” Select the EDC Input to be modified in this field.
“Function:” This field displays the Function assigned to the EDC Input selected above.
