6.1.7 Alarm menu
The alarm setup permits to enable/disable and configure all the
alerts that ECLIPSE can activate when a dangerous condition is
detected.
Each possible alarm can be set and enabled/disabled within its
submenu, for example the first “CHT” submenu is relative to
the cylinder head temperature alarms.
Most of the alarms thresholds correspond with those previously
configured in the “GAUGE SETUP” (chap.6.1.2). For some alarms the
thresholds must be set directly inside its submenu, as explained below.
The last two menu parameters (
Tone volume
and
Voice
volume)
set the volume for the tone alerts and for the vocal
alerts.
The following parameters are common to all submenus:
- Enable:
Select “YES” to enable the alarm relative to the measure that you are setting, select “NO” to disable it.
- Out:
Select “YES” to enable also the alarm output (pin #18 of CON2 connector), useful for example to flash a LED or
a light when it turns on the alarm that you are setting.
- Audio:
Select “VOICE” to enable also the vocal alert, “TONE” to enable a tone alert or “NO” to disable the acoustic alerts. To
hear this alerts you must have connected the audio output to your intercom (audio output is pin #12 of CON2 connector).
- Voice repeat count:
number of repeats for the vocal alert.
- Voice repeat pause:
pause in seconds between repeats of vocal alert.
- Activation delay:
number of seconds for which the measure must be over the threshold before the alarm is
activated.
Below are explained the additional parameters present in some submenus:
•
CHT and EGT ALARM SETUP
Low threshold:
if you prefer an alarm even when the temperatures drop below the minimum thresholds select “LOW”, “MID” or
“MIDLOW”. The values which refers are the same set in the “Gauge Setup” menu (see chap.6.1.2). Select “NO” to disable the
alarm on the low temperature thresholds.
•
OIL TEMPERATURE ALARM SETUP
Low threshold:
if you prefer an alarm even when the oil temperature drop below the minimum thresholds select “LOW” or
“MIN”. The values which refers are the same set in the “Gauge Setup” menu (see chap.6.1.2). Select “NO” to disable the alarm
on the low temperature threshold.
Oil temperature alarm enable delay:
Time, in seconds, that must pass after the take-off, before the low oil temperature alarm
is enabled. This parameter is useful to don't have the low temperature alarm after the take-off because the oil is not yet in
temperature.
•
G-METER ALARM SETUP
Positive over G:
Set the max vertical positive (upward) acceleration limit. Beyond this threshold (in G) it activates the alarm.
Negative over G:
Set the max vertical negative (downward) acceleration limit. Beyond this threshold (in G) it activates the
alarm.
•
ALT ALARM SETUP
Max no oxygen altitude:
Set the max altitude beyond which is activated the “No oxygen” alarm.
•
SPEED ALARM SETUP
Overspeed threshold:
Set the max speed beyond which is activated the overspeed alarm.
