Troubleshooting the EDM
Diagnostic Testing on Startup and During Flight
When your EDM is first turned on, it tests internal components,
calibration and integrity of the probes. Most alarms are disabled until the
engine has been started.
During flight, probes are constantly checked for inconsistent or
intermittent signals. A faulty channel or probe encountered during start-up
or during flight will be deleted from the sequence, producing a missing
column or blank digital data.
