Propeller Balancing
Vibrex 2000 and Vibrex 2000 Plus User Guide 71
Enter this information, using the second Propeller Balance Setup screen,
as shown below.
Use the following general checklist to make sure the user is working with
the correct horsepower/weight sensitivity settings:
• The default setting for HP ENGINE is -100.
• After the user has entered the correct horsepower, note the sensitivity
number displayed beneath the SET SENSITIVITY line.
• Repeated key presses of the context key scroll through the available
horsepower ranges and their attendant sensitivities.
• The Vibrex unit learns the response to the first weight change and
corrects the sensitivity to one that is appropriate for the propeller
being balanced.
NOTE: Occasionally, the user may need to be conservative on the
first balance adjustment. This condition could occur, for example,
with a nonstandard installation, such as a lightweight aerobatic
propeller on an engine that normally carries a metal constant speed
propeller or on a racing propeller that has an extension between the
engine and propeller. In cases like these, use the next-lower
horsepower range than the one normally used.
