• Next, cover the photo diode on the display for at least 5 seconds
with your thumb or a piece of black electrical tape. Quickly press
and release the Brightness button on the KLR 10 indicator until
it’s at a minimum or lowest level.
• Wait 5 seconds for the unit to store the setting then remove your
thumb or the tape.
Observe that the display’s brightness level changes from dim to
bright when light is applied and removed from the photo diode. This
process takes about 5 seconds for the brightness level to change.
•
Remove power, wait a few seconds and re-apply power.
On power up, if fully calibrated, the system will enter its self test,
display illumination routine in which all colored segments are
illuminated one by one upwards and then one by one downwards.
Otherwise, if OAA and Cruise still need to be calibrated, then the
blue and green segments will flash and then turn off.
2.5 BRIGHTNESS ADJUSTMENT WHEN ACTIVE
To change brightness when the unit is active, quickly push and
release the Brightness button until the desired brightness level is
reached.
There are 16 brightness levels and a photo cell to detect
“nighttime” and “daytime” ambient light levels and automatically
switches to the stored level. The new brightness levels are stored
when powered off.
2.6 IN-FLIGHT CALIBRATION FLOW CHARTS
The following flow charts contain an abbreviated version of the in-
flight calibration procedures. The complete in-flight calibration
procedures are contained in Section 5 of the KLR 10 Lift Reserve
Indicator Installation Manual, part number D201305000058.
It is highly recommended, to make calibration easier and safer, that
the pilot flies the aircraft while a second person follows the
calibration procedure and enters the appropriate set points for the
instrument.
CAUTION
At ALL times, the Pilot-in-Command must fly the aircraft in a
safe manner at altitude while maneuvering the aircraft in
slow flight.
