Also, the "AUX" channel can be set up to display a decimal point (for pressure, volts, etc. measurements) and
display "00" for readings under 5 counts (for pressure measurements). See the "Power-up Programming" section
of this manual.
If the programmable High AUX Limit is violated, a bar will appear in the upper left corner of the LCD
display in the “AUX” mode, and the H/L AUX Warning LED will blink. If the programmable Low AUX Limit is
violated, a bar will appear in the lower left corner of the LCD display in the “AUX” mode, and the H/L AUX
Warning LED will blink. If the High and Low AUX Limits are programmed to "00.0", the FP-5(L) will display
"OFF" when the "AUX" mode is selected. See the "Pilot Programmable Settings" section of this manual to set
the High and Low AUX Limits.
8. “F. to D. (Fuel to Destination) Display Mode (FP-5L only):
When the left button ("F. to DES") is pushed the FP-5L will read the
serial data from your GPS unit and compute the Fuel to Destination (next
waypoint) for the current conditions: Fuel Flow, Fuel Remaining, Ground
Speed and Distance to Destination. This process will take from one to three
seconds depending on the update time of your GPS unit. If the fuel required to
reach the waypoint is more than the fuel remaining as shown on the FP-5L, the
"Low Fuel Warning" LED will come on.
If the FP-5L is not receiving data from a GPS, the display will show
" ." If a signal is present but the baud rate is wrong, the display will
show " " (note the tick mark in the upper left corner of the display).
If the baud rate is correct but the ground speed and distance to way point is not
available, the display will show " ." To set up the FP-5L to receive GPS data, see the "Power-Up
Programmable Settings" sections of this manual. Once speed and distance data have been received, the Fuel to
Destination (next waypoint) will be computed instantly and displayed on the FP-5L.
9. “F. Reserve (Fuel Reserve) Display Mode (FP-5L only):
When the right button ("F. RES") is pushed the FP-5L will read the serial
data from your GPS unit and compute the Fuel Reserve for the current condi-
tions: Fuel Flow, Fuel Remaining, Ground Speed and Distance to Destination.
The Fuel Reserve is the fuel you will have in your tank once you reach your
destination (next waypoint) programmed on the GPS unit (Fuel Reserve = Fuel
Remaining - Fuel to Destination). If the fuel required to reach the waypoint is
more than the fuel remaining as shown on the FP-5L, the Low Fuel Warning
LED will come on and the Fuel Reserve will be displayed as a negative number
(i.e., " -3" would mean you are 3 gallons short of reaching your destination).
When the "F. RES" button is pushed it will take from one to two seconds,
depending on the update time of your GPS unit, to read and compute the serial
data. If the FP-5L is not receiving data from a GPS, the display will show "
." If a signal is present but the baud rate is wrong, the display will
