B. Second Low Fuel Alarm: This alarm should be set as a warning (example: 5 gallons). When the
Alarm Limit is violated the red Low Fuel Warning LED will start to blink. Pushing any button or
switch will stop the blinking and the LED will go solid red. Also, a bar in the lower left corner of the
display will be shown when displaying “REM”.
C. Time to Empty Alarm: This alarm may be set for a time to empty value (example: 1 hour). When
the fuel flow and fuel remaining results in less than one hour of fuel on board (as per example) the
Alarm Limit is violated and the red Low Fuel Warning LED will start to blink. Pushing any button
or switch will stop the blinking and turn off the Warning LED. Also, a bar in the upper left corner of
the display will be shown when displaying "T.toE."
D. Reoccurring Fuel Used Alarm: This alarm may be set for a fuel used value (example: 10 Gal). If
the alarm was activated with 40 gallons of fuel remaining, there will be an alarm at 30, 20 and 10
gallons of fuel remaining in the tank. This feature reminds you to switch tanks for balancing the
wings (based on weight, not time) or it may be used to remind you to check your fuel levels at set
intervals. When the Alarm Limit is violated the red Low Fuel Warning LED will start to blink.
Pushing any button or switch will stop the blinking and turn off the Warning LED.
Note: See the "Pilot Programmable Modes" section of this manual to set the alarms.
3. H/L AUX Warning LED:
There are pilot programmable High and Low Alarm Limits that will blink the red "H/L AUX Warning LED
when violated. Pushing any button or switch will cause the LED to stop blinking and become solid red. If the
High Limit is violated, a bar in the upper left corner of the display will be shown when displaying “AUX” If the
Low Limit is violated, a bar in the lower left corner of the display will be shown when displaying “AUX” See the
"Pilot Programmable Modes" section of this manual to set the alarm limits.
4. Power-Up:
When the aircraft master switch is turned on, the FP-5(L) will perform a self-diagnostics test and flash the
red warning LEDs. This allows you to check the Warning LEDs for proper operation.
After power-up, the FP-5(L) will blink the "REM" (Fuel Remaining) LED, and display the fuel remaining in
the tank(s). The “REM” LED will continue to blink until any button or switch is pushed. The blinking “REM”
LED is intended as a reminder to update the FP-5(L) if you’ve added fuel to the aircraft since your last flight (see
“REM” Display Mode).
