5 LX Cluster Engine Data Display
The LX Cluster Engine Data Display is used for
monitoring the engine operating parameters. The only
exception is fuel tank indicator which indicates fuel tank
status in percentage fuel remaining ranging from - 0%
(empty) up to 100% (full). Most indicators have
multicolored bars to show the preferred operating
temperature. The red bar defines the out of limit status
and exceeds the Rotax recommended limitations. The LX
engine data display shows most settings with colored
bars and digital numbers.
NOTE: The actual fuel consumption/flow and fuel quantity remaining are calculations based on engine rpm and
manifold pressure. These settings are to be used as a guide only and are NOT to be relied upon for the safe
operation of the aircraft. If in doubt confirm the fuel quantity remaining before flight.
The LX Cluster Engine Data instrument displays the following readings….
• Oil pressure;
• Oil temperature;
• Water temperature;
• Manifold pressure;
• CHT – 1 & 2;
• EGT – 1, 2, 3 & 4;
• Fuel pressure;
• Instant fuel flow*;
• Fuel % remaining*;
• Bus voltage;
• Outside air temperature.
NOTE: The actual fuel consumption/flow and fuel quantity remaining are calculations based on engine rpm and
manifold pressure. These settings are to be used as a guide only and are NOT to be relied apon for the safe
operation of the aircraft. If in doubt confirm the fuel quantity remaining before flight.
6 RPM Meter - Tacho
The RPM indicator is a 57 mm (2¼”) unit which displays the
current engine revolutions with both a familiar mechanical
needle as well as a large OLED digital display.
Color arcs display the operating limitations of the Rotax 912
UL2 engine. The Tacho also includes the Hobbs Hour
meter.
