Rich of Peak leaning is as simple as:
A. Pre-lean your mixture.
B. Tap the LF button (verify ROP appears).
C. Lean mixture until LEANEST flashes (peak found).
D. Enrichen to the desired value ‘Rich Of Peak’.
Scanner Example
(one engine)
Establish cruise at
65 to 75% power.
Pre-lean the
mixture to 50°F
estimated rich of
peak on any EGT:
_________°F.
* See ‘Pre-leaning’ page 23.
Start Lean Find (if LOP
appears hold STEP & LF
until ROP appears)
Lean the mixture at
approx. 10°/second
without pausing.
Flashing cylinder I.D. box
identifies that EGT
increased at least 15°F.
EDM is now looking for first
EGT to peak.
Stop leaning when
a column begins
flashing. You will
see LEANEST for
one second,
followed by:
Flashing cylinder I.D. box
AND its column indicates
leanest cylinder. Due to
thermal inertia this will
usually be about -15°F
down the lean side of peak.
If you hold PEAK,
the values of EGT
and FF when peak
was found are
displayed.
Captured peak EGT value
and peak FF are displayed.
