Air Temperature System Operation
The OUTSIDE AIR TEMPERATURE (OAT) and
CARBURETOR AIR TEMPERATURE (CAT) are
digitally displayed in degrees C. Most true airspeed
indicators have the temperature correction scale
calibrated in Degrees C, making it easy to enter the
temperature directly from the OAT display.
The digital displays shows in 1° C increments to a maximum of 99° C
and a minimum of -50° C. For new engine installations, you can take
advantage of the high accuracy and repeatability for analyzing
carburetor heat effectiveness or induction air temperatures
The CAT measurement channel can be used for a cabin air
temperature, cowling air temperature or induction air temperature in
aircraft where there is no carburetor. . User can select °C or °F for
Air Temps 42.00 or use Vision Config.
Fuel Level System Operation (Optional)
WARNING
Aircraft attitude, fuel contamination and other factors can
affect the accuracy of the fuel level readings and may
cause premature fuel exhaustion. After installation and
during operation, verify that the systems accuracy is
acceptable for your intended use.
The fuel level system operates automatically, once the FUEL LEVEL
SYSTEM CALIBRATION has been performed. The indicator
displays a left and right digital read-out of the units of fuel remaining
of up to 199 units per tank. Additionally the left and right displays are
also presented graphically to show percentage of fuel remaining for
quick reference.
If a probe is not functioning, or a calibration has not been done for a
selected tank, or certain system sensors are malfunctioning, that tank
