Version 15.0 AF-5000 Series Pilot Guide 13
External Controls, Indicators, Jacks, etc.
The primary harness for each AF-5000 display provides inputs or outputs for external buttons, switches, indicators,
jacks, etc. Some of these are required (such as Servo Disconnect / CWS), while others provide optional additional
functionality. As part of your familiarization with your AF-5000 system, you should identify these additional controls on
your panel or elsewhere in your cabin, and how they interact with your AF-5000 system. For additional detail, please
reference the System Installation Guide.
This list does not reference power control breakers, switches, or semi-automated power control systems such as
ADVANCED Control Module or VP-X.

Visual and Aural Warnings
Each gauge can have an upper and lower caution and warning limit. If a gauge is in the caution area the needle will turn
yellow. If a gauge is in the warning area the needle will turn red.
If the engine RPM is greater than 500rpm and a gauge is in the warning area the gauge name will be displayed in the
info strip on the screen in red and an audible warning will generated. For example, if the oil pressure is low, the “Check
Oil Pressure” warning should sound, this will repeat every 5 seconds until the gauge is no longer in the warning area or
[ACK] (button 12) is pressed to acknowledge the error and stop the audible warning for that gauge.
The system will give the audible warning “Check Fuel Computer” on startup if the fuel computer’s gallons remaining
value does not match the fuel tanks level. This feature (if turned on in Instrument Calibration) should warn if fuel is
added and the fuel computer is not adjusted. The number of gallons that will generate an error is adjusted in Instrument
Calibrate. Since the fuel levels are NOT accurate when the tanks are near full this value is doubled when the tanks show
full.
