STEP 2: Set MISCELLANEOUS: ENGINE HORSEPOWER to
your engines rated horsepower.
STEP 3: If you have a GAMI Horsepower Constant calculated,
then enter it in MISCELLANEOUS: GAMI
HORSEPOWER CONSTANT.
STEP 4: Using your engine operation manual, determine the
RPM, MAN and desired Altitude to obtain 75% power.
Write these three down for reference later.
Calibration steps in the air
STEP 5: Setup the 75% power RPM & MAN and altitude from
STEP 4. Correct this percentage for the outside air
temperature and note it.
STEP 6: Perform a leaning operation to 50° Rich of Peak.
STEP 7: Enter the %HP calibrate mode by holding
and
until the MAN and %HP icons alternately flash.
STEP 8: Tap or to adjust % HP to the corrected %HP
noted from STEP 5.
STEP 9: Tap to save the calibration or to cancel the
mode.
Fuel Level System Calibration
The VM1000C supports either single or dual fuel tank monitoring.
Each monitored tank must have a PRIMARY CALIBRATION
performed. For aircraft having a significantly different calibration
reading in cruise vs. on the ground, such as taildraggers, you may
optionally perform a SECONDARY CALIBRATION. The
VM1000C will then automatically switch between PRIMARY
(airborne) and SECONDARY (ground) calibrations as needed. See
FUEL LEVEL CALIBRATION for the commands on fuel level
calibration. Note: Any previous tank calibration must be erased
before performing the new calibration.
