visual centerline to the middle of the instrument. The pilot’s visual centerline is a perpendicular line from the
pilot’s eye to the instrument panel. In most aircraft, installing the MVP-50P to the right of the radio stack
would be acceptable. In some aircraft, the visual centerline falls to the right of the Attitude Indicator.
If the powerplant instrument cannot be installed within 8" of the pilot’s visual centerline, AC 23.1311-1B
recommends Master Caution and Warning Lights be installed. Installation of Master Caution and Warning
Lights is covered in this manual.
Installing the MVP-50P may require an instrument (or two) to be moved to a new location. The MVP-50P
replaces eight or more primary instruments in the aircraft instrument panel, therefore moving an instrument to a
new location may not be an issue. If the installer is unwilling or unable to find a location for the MVP-50P, Do

2.5 Install Post Lights

If your aircraft does not currently have lighting that complies with CRF 23.1381, install a Post Light as fol-
lows:
Mount the Post Light approximately 1" above the center of the MVP-50 “PUSH – SELECT” knob and just
to the left of the MVP-50 case.
2.6 Install the Temperature Probes:
Install only the Temperature Probes applicable for your configuration.

Look at each exhaust stack and determine the best location at which all of the EGT probes can be mounted
at the same distance down from the exhaust ports. The ideal location is 1 1/2", but ease of installation should
prevail. Drill a 13/64" diameter hole in each exhaust stack. Insert the probe and tighten the hose clamp. As
the hose clamp is heated and cooled, it will become loose as it conforms to the exhaust stack. After the first
10 hours of operation, each hose clamp should be retightened.
IMPORTANT NOTE: For Cessna 210s or any aircraft having a slip joint in the exhaust system, install the
EGT probes ABOVE OR BELOW THE SLIP JOINT. Installing an EGT probe in the slip joint can damage
the probe.
