2. Add Fuel and Auto Calibrate the K Factor:
This procedure was described previously in the “Display Modes and Operating Features” section of this
manual.
3. Setting the Two Low Fuel Alarms in the "Used" Display Mode:
In the "USED" Display Mode the following alarms may be set:
First Low Fuel Alarm - The First Low Fuel Alarm may be programmed
to blink the "Low Fuel Warning" LED when the fuel remaining reaches
your programmed set point. Pushing any button or switch will turn off the
blinking LED. This limit is intended as a reminder. It may be set to
remind you to switch tanks or when a specified amount of fuel remaining
in the tanks has been reached. A good point to use in setting this alarm is
at the 1/2 fuel remaining level. In the “REM” Display Mode a bar in the
upper left corner of the display will be shown when the 1st Low Fuel
Alarm Limit has been violated. Programming this alarm to “000” disables
the alarm.
Second Low Fuel Alarm - The Second Low Fuel alarm may be pro-
grammed to blink the "Low Fuel Warning" LED when the fuel remaining
reaches your programmed setpoint. Pushing any button or switch will stop
the blinking but the Low Fuel Warning LED will stay on. This limit is
intended as an emergency warning. It should be set to the lowest
acceptable or safe fuel level in the tanks. A good point to use in setting
this alarm is 30 minutes’ worth of fuel (at cruise) for a VFR pilot or 45
minutes for an IFR pilot. In the “REM” display mode a bar in the lower
left corner of the display will be shown when the Second Low Fuel Alarm
Limit has been violated. Programming this alarm to “000” disables the
alarm.
To program the First and Second Low Fuel Alarm Limits, perform the
following steps:
A. Select the “USED” Display Mode.
B. Momentarily push both the "F. to DES" and "F. RES" buttons. A bar will appear in the upper left
corner of the display and the left digit will be blinking. You are ready to program the 1st Low Fuel
Alarm Limit.
C. Set the 1st and 2nd Low Fuel Alarm Limits using the following procedure:
a)
Select a Digit - The right "F. to DES" and "F. RES" buttons move the blinking digit to the right or
to the left.
b) Increase or Decrease a Digits Count - Moving the "STEP" Switch to the right will increase the
blinking digits count and moving it to the left will decrease the blinking digits count.
