- Activate only the number of tanks used (see parameter
“Number” on menu Settings → Instruments → Fuel L → Tanks).
- Set the type of level sensors installed (see parameter “Sensor”
on menu Settings → Instruments → Fuel L → Tanks →
Left/Right/Main Tank).
- Execute the calibration for each used tanks (see chap.1.5).
● Fuel Computer section:
Before using the fuel computer section you must be sure to have
already set the following parameters:
- Set the unit of measure: USgallons or liters (set this before all
the other parameters). See parameter “Fuel unit” on menu
Settings → Fuel Computer.
- Set the unit of measure: kilometers or nautical miles. See
parameter “Space unit” on menu Settings → Fuel Computer.
- Set the total tank/s capacity. See parameter “Tank Cap.” on
menu Settings → Fuel Computer.
- Set the K-factor. The K-factor of a fuel flow transducer is the
number of electric pulses for 1 gallon of fuel consumption (if you
have K-factor in liters you must multiply this value by 3.78 before
set k-factor in the Vigilus). If you use Flybox® TFTHP fuel flow
transducer, set the k-factor to 416400.
It's recommended also to execute the K-factor calibration as
soon as possible to have the maximum accuracy (refer to
chapter 1.4 “Fuel flow transducer calibration”).
Everytime after powering-on, the Vigilus ask if you have
refuelled the tank; you must choose one of the 3 options
available (rotate the knob to select and press to confirm):
