Section 1 - Getting Started

Important Note!

You must have the remote auxiliary display—RAD— installed on the instrument panel of your aircraft. This is required for FAA certification of the EDM-930 as a primary instrument. Upon start up, the RAD displays the make and model of you aircraft, which must be verified before you can rely on the EDM-930 for use as the primary engine instrument cluster. The RAD also will continuously notify you of any alarm conditions, regardless of whether you have cleared them on the EDM-930 display.

This is not an option!

This is a summary of basic operation. Detailed descriptions of all operations appear later in this Pilot’s Guide.

EDM-930 primary instruments have preset alarm limits and cautionary ranges (user cannot change them) typically for the following measurements: oil temperature, oil pressure, fuel pressure, fuel quantity, cylinder head temperature, turbine inlet temperature, manifold pressure, and RPM. Your EDM-930 contains a custom Key Card. For Primary configurations, the Key Card activates the primary engine instrument abilities of your engine monitor.

Note: Fuel quantity gauges must be calibrated to the aircraft and will not be functional until the fuel calibration process has been performed.

Display View Angle

The best view angle for the pilot is in the horizontal mode with the buttons on the bottom. The best Portrait mode is with the buttons on the right.

2. Main + Aux 94.0 GAL: MAIN +AUX tanks are filled.

For Your Safe Flight Page 3

3. Adjust? 0.0 GAL: Partial fuel added to existing quantity. See page 29 for expanded information on the refueling process.

Control Button Basics

Four operating buttons control all functions of the EDM. These buttons change labels depending on the current state of the EDM..

The term tap is used to denote pressing a button momentarily. The term hold is used to denote pressing and holding a button for five seconds or longer.

Display Screen Basics

The display screen is arranged into three sections. The top left is the RPM and MAP section. The bottom left is the Scanner® section. And the right side is the Linear Bar Graphs section. The instrument ranges and alarm limits are configured to match those of your aircraft when the EDM is set up as a Primary instrument.

For Your Safe Flight Page 4

Remote Auxiliary Display Basics

The Remote Alarm Display ‘RAD’ provides alarm display, RPM and MAP, and is located directly in front of the pilot. Upon power up, the RAD shows the Aircraft model, engine type and declares instrument status: ‘Primary’ (if applicable). Before each flight, confirm that it matches your aircraft requirements.

RPM and MAP Display Basics

The upper half shows the RPM (Revolutions per Minute) and the lower half shows the MAP (Manifold Pressure). Operations exceeding red line cause the digital value to turn red.

Percent horsepower is displayed digitally below and to the left of the MAP arc.

Linear Bar Graph Display Basics

The Bar Graphs section contains nine dedicated bar graphs with digital display organized in a three by three matrix. An example is shown here. Pointers move up and down in response to value changes and digital readouts turn red when exceedances occur.

Note: functions displayed in this example may differ from your EDM.

For Your Safe Flight Page 5

Scanner® Display Basics

The EDM Scanner section is located in the lower left area of the screen. It consists of a graphical display of EGT and CHT (and TIT if so equipped) and a digital display that automatically scans the various parameters. You can select Manual Mode by tapping STEP to lock onto the parameter of interest. To return to Automatic scan mode, tap LF followed by tapping

STEP.

LeanFind Basics

Simply pre-lean, then tap the LF button (Lean Find) and begin leaning. The EDM will assist you in finding the first cylinder to peak. This example is for Rich of Peak. See page 20 for a more detailed description of leaning.

1. Establish cruise at approximately 65 to 75% power and pre-lean the mixture to 50°F estimated rich of peak EGT on any cylinder.

2. Wait about 30 seconds, then tap the LF button.

3. Begin leaning the mixture smoothly without stopping. Turn a vernier about ¼ turn per second; retract a non-vernier or quadrant lever so that EGT rises about 10°F per second.

4. Stop leaning when you see LEANEST for two seconds, followed by—for example—

EGT

1520FF13.8. The left number is the current

temperature of the first EGT to peak and the right number is the current fuel flow.

5. Now tap the PEAK button to display the EGT difference from peak which is very useful for setting desired degrees below peak. Note:

The value for EGT ROP will be a negative value which means you’ve gone lean of peak by the time you stopped leaning the mixture.

6. Slowly enrich the mixture noting that the EGT difference diminishes as EGT climbs back to peak, followed by it going positive again. Stop enriching at the desired EGT difference (such as ‘EGT 75’).

Note: Please refer to the engine manufacturer’s operating guide for

For Your Safe Flight Page 6

the correct value for EGT difference rich of peak operation at 75% and 65%

7. You can also see what the peak EGT was by holding the PEAK button.

8. Tap STEP to exit the Lean Find Mode.

Section 2 - Interpreting Data

Operation for each Phase of Flight

(worth adding to your run-up checklist)

Suggested setup:

 Set engine to run-up RPM

Engine Run-Up

Normalize view:

 Manual mode

Verify:

 uniform rise of about 50°F in all EGTs in single

magneto operation.

 uniform rise of EGTs with application of the mixture

control.

Be alert for:

 unusually low voltage (less than nominal battery

voltage)

 cold OIL and normal oil pressure  abnormally high CHT

 large drop in EGT on one cylinder in single magneto

operation—may be fouled spark plug.

For Your Safe Flight Page 7

Take-Off, Climb, and Full Throttle Operations

Cruise

Suggested setup:

 Standard view  Automatic mode

Verify:

 EGTs and CHTs consistent with past climbs. EGTs

should be in the 1100 to 1300°F range (100° to 300°F cooler than cruise) due to fuel cooling.

Be alert for:

 high EGT in one cylinder, 300°F above the others may

indicate plugged injector or leaking manifold gasket on a carbureted engine. At high density altitude an overly rich mixture can significantly reduce engine power.

 If all EGT columns go off scale to the top of the

column, be sure you are not in Normalize view, as indicated by the symbol NRM above the Scanner® section.

After the engine is warmed up, use LeanFind to lean the mixture.

Suggested setup:

 Normalize view  Automatic mode

Be alert for:

 uneven EGTs (injected engines). Make fine

adjustments to throttle, then RPM, then mixture to level the display columns.

 abnormal patterns of EGTs and CHT. (see Engine

Diagnosis Chart on page 10).

Suggested setup:

 Standard view  Manual mode

Descent

Be alert for:

 CLD: shock cooling alarm is set to -60°F. Average

cool rates of -40°F/minute to -50°F/minute are normal, depending on the engine size.

For Your Safe Flight Page 8

Section 3 - Displays and Controls

The EDM monitors engine temperatures, pressures and voltages, assists in adjusting the fuel/air mixture, and helps diagnose engine malfunctions. There are multiple components of the user interface:

 Four front panel operating buttons below the bottom of the display.  RPM and MAP display in the upper left corner of the display  Scanner analog display including cylinder number and index square

in the lower left corner of the display

 Scanner digital display for numeric readouts and messages at the

bottom left

 Bar graph displays on the right half of the display

Control Buttons

Four operating buttons control all functions of the EDM. These buttons may change labels depending on the current operating mode of the EDM. The term tap is used to denote pressing a button momentarily. The term hold is used to denote pressing and holding a button for five seconds or longer. Button layout is shown below:

1st Button

 In the Automatic mode, tapping the STEP button stops Scanner auto-

sequencing and changes to Manual mode. Each tap of the STEP button then displays the next measurement in the sequence. Holding the STEP button sequences in reverse order.

 In the LeanFind mode tapping the EXIT button will terminate the

LeanFind mode and change to the Automatic mode.

 In the Program mode tapping the NEXT button will advance to the

next item.

For Your Safe Flight Page 12

2ndButton

 In Automatic or Manual modes, tapping the LF button will activate

the LeanFind mode.

 In the LF mode holding the LF button after peak EGT is found will

display the peak EGT.

 In Automatic or Manual modes holding the LF button for three

seconds will toggle between Standard and Normalize (NRM) views.

 In the programming mode, tapping the PLUS or MINUS button will

allow you to edit a parameter value.

 Holding LF during power up will display the primary alarm limits

after the self-test is complete.

1stand 2ndButtons

Scanner Displays

Scanner EGT and CHT Analog Bar Graph

The height of each column represents a EGT or CHT or TIT (if installed) temperature. The graph resolution depends on the programmed span between the top and bottom of the range marks. Note: when in certain modes, such as leaning or normalize, the EGT resolution will temporarily be finer.

Cylinder Numbers and Index

Just below the bar graph columns are numbers identifying the respective cylinder. If TIT is installed, it is labeled by the letter T underneath. A square ‘Cylinder I.D. Index’ surrounding a number indicates what cylinder is currently selected and relates to the digital display.

Scanner Digital Display

Located under the Scanner bar graph area is the alphanumeric display. It displays alphanumeric values for different parameters as well as status and alarm messages.

For Your Safe Flight Page 14

Normalize / Standard View

To toggle between Standard and the Normalize views, hold the LF button for three seconds until the NRM icon toggles on or off. Note: Normalize cannot be activated while in Lean Find mode.

 Standard view (when the NRM icon is not lighted): the EGT

represent absolute temperature. The top of the columns indicate absolute temperature relative to the adjacent range mark temperature scale. A maximum height column depicts the temperature at the top of the range mark scale (or more), while no column represents the temperature at bottom of the range mark scale(or less). The Standard view permits comparison of EGTs across all cylinders.

 Normalize view (when the NRM icon is lighted): the EGT represent

the difference in temperature from the mid-point of the range mark scale. When you change to the Normalize view, all EGT columns are initially normalized to the mid-point for deviation trend analysis. Any changes are shown as an increase or decrease relative to the mid-point, thus giving an instantaneous indication that an EGT has deviated. You normally use normalize in level cruise, but it is also useful during steady state run-ups. Note: A common misapplication is to be in the Normalize view and then change power setting. This causes all columns to go off scale, high or low. Select Standard view before changing power or altitude.

Temperature Units (°F or °C)

The EDM can display engine temps in either °F or °C (Fahrenheit or Celsius). In Primary configurations, this is set to the same units as the configuration the aircraft was originally certified to.

For Your Safe Flight Page 15

Linear Bar Graph Displays

The linear bar graphs are arranged in a three by three matrix on the right half of the display. A typical layout is depicted here (Note: your actual configuration may vary). Typical functions that can be displayed are:

 Oil temperature  Oil pressure  Fuel pressure  Bus voltage  Amps (charge/discharge shown)  OAT  Fuel flow  Left tank fuel quantity *  Right tank fuel quantity *

* The fuel quantity gauges will not be functional until the fuel calibration process has

been completed.

The range of the bar graphs depends on the programming. Range, redlines and/or limits are typically set to match the original aircrafts gauge markings. These are locked for Primary installations, however non-primary gauges can be user modified, using ‘EDM Config’ which is currently available through the front panel buttons. Editing of Gauge Layout requires EDM Software version 1.20.489 or later. Note: Amps can operate either as a charge/discharge or load meter, depending on programming. For charge/discharge, the center of the bar is zero and the top and bottom are maximum charge and discharge, respectively.

For Your Safe Flight Page 16

Remote Auxiliary Display

See the important note on page 1 regarding the RAD.

The remote auxiliary display ‘RAD’ provides redundancy and allows positioning a smaller display directly in front of the pilot. Upon power up the RAD displays the EDM’s programmed configuration (aircraft make and model and primary status). Confirm that it matches your aircraft configuration before using the instrument. This auxiliary display will normally show RPM and MAP, but will display a blinking alarm message, duplicating the alarm indication of the EDM. For example, low calculated fuel remaining of

7.7 gallons would show:

Hobbs Display

Holding both the LF and DIM buttons simultaneously will display the Hobbs times similar to the example below:

HOBBS Times

EDM HOBBS: 127.4

Engine HOBBS: 120.6

Flight HOBBS: 2.7

Flight Duration: 02:42:21

Dimming the Display

Automatic dimming is provided to dim both the panel display and the remote alarm display. You can manually adjust brightness by tapping (decrease brightness) or holding (increase brightness) the DIM button.

For Your Safe Flight Page 17

Section 4 - Operating Modes

The EDM has four basic operating modes: Automatic, Manual, Program and LeanFind. LeanFind is described in the next section; Program mode is described on page 38, ‘First Time Setup and Customization’. When you first turn on the power the EDM starts in the Manual mode, but will enter the Automatic mode after a few minutes. The Automatic mode provides you with engine monitoring information for the majority of flight conditions. To optimize the mixture, use the LeanFind mode. To display specific parameters, use the Manual mode. In either Automatic or Manual modes, the display always shows the Scanner bar graphs for EGT and CHT for each cylinder and TIT (if so equipped).

Automatic Mode

To activate Automatic Scanner Mode, just tap the LF button, then tap the STEP button. In the Automatic mode the EDM changes which

measurement is displayed every four seconds (factory default is ‘Auto Scan Rate 4’), however you can change this rate in the Program Mode.

A setting of zero disables auto scanning altogether. Some non-primary measurements can be excluded from the Automatic

mode: tap STEP to enter the Manual mode. Tap STEP repeatedly to index to the measurement you want to exclude. Then tap both the STEP and LF buttons simultaneously. Excluded measurements display a decimal point before the measurement name. For example:

Included: 1540 CDT Excluded: 1540 ● CDT Tapping the STEP and LF buttons simultaneously will toggle back and

forth between include and exclude. Note: All measurements are always checked for alarm conditions every second.

 Every time you turn on the EDM, all measurements are reset to be

included.

 All installed measurements are always displayed in the Manual

mode. Exclusion only applies to the Automatic mode.

For Your Safe Flight Page 18

Manual Mode

To activate Manual Mode, just tap the STEP button. Use the Manual mode when you want to lock on one specific measurement such as shock cooling during descent, or your hottest CHT during climbs. To select the desired parameter, tap the STEP button until it appears. To return to the Automatic mode, tap the LF button and then tap the STEP button. You may completely disable the Automatic mode by setting zero for ‘Auto Scan Rate 4’. See Pilot Programming.

Section 5 - LeanFind

The EDM supports two methods of leaning; ROP (Rich Of Peak) and LOP (Lean Of Peak). Note: on power-up, the unit defaults to

Rich Of Peak mode, but is easily changed to Lean Of Peak mode. During traditional Rich Of Peak leaning, you’ll finalize the mixture to about 20° to 80° rich of peak (depending on engine operating requirements). However, with the advent of closely balanced injectors (such as GAMI), it is possible to set the mixture lean of peak—thus saving fuel and running the engine cooler. Both Rich Of Peak and Lean Of Peak processes are described in detail in this manual.

Upon reaching cruise configuration, use the LeanFind mode to identify the correct cylinder to reach peak EGT (for Rich Of Peak this is the FIRST to peak, for Lean Of Peak this is the LAST to peak). To change from one method to the other, right after activating LeanFind, hold

STEP and LF and the other method will be momentarily shown: ROP

(Rich Of Peak) or LOP (Lean Of Peak). Release buttons after the other method appears.

LeanFind Procedure—General Explanation

Lycoming and Continental established specific restrictions on leaning that must be followed, such as percent power, climb leaning, and TIT limits. Lycoming recommends operation at peak of EGT at 75% or less power only. Continental recommends operation at peak EGT at 65% or less power only. This guide does not supersede specific recommendations of the engine or airframe manufacturer. It is

your responsibility to know your aircraft’s limitations.

Pre-leaning: The leaning process typically begins with ‘pre-leaning’ to insure all cylinders are operating rich of peak EGT (note: you can optionally activate ‘Normalize’ - hold LF until NRM appears - making it easier to confirm all EGT’s decrease). Now enrichen the mixture to achieve a 50° drop on the hottest EGT. Insure that all EGT’s decrease. Wait one minute to allow temperatures to stabilize.

Lean Find-Initiation: The leaning process typically begins with ‘pre- leaning’ to insure all cylinders are operating rich of peak EGT. This is accomplished as follows. As you lean the mixture watch the hottest EGT and note when it begins to decrease in temperature. Now enrichen the mixture to achieve a 50° drop on the hottest EGT. Insure that all EGT’s decrease. Wait one minute to allow temperatures to stabilize. Note:

When the first EGT peaks, you can optionally activate ‘Normalize’ hold LF until NRM appears - making it easier to confirm that all EGT’s decrease.

Lean Find-Initiation: Initiate the EDM leaning mode by tapping the LF button. Note that the EDM displays its current leaning mode

momentarily: ‘ROP’ for operating Rich of Peak or ‘LOP’ for operating

Lean of Peak. To change, simply hold STEP and LF until the display shows the other mode. The EDM is now waiting for a 15° rise on any EGT (this feature significantly reduces false peaks). Lean the mixture without pausing to achieve about a 10 deg per second change. With the vernier mixture control, turn the knob about a quarter turn every second. With the non-vernier or quadrant mixture control, lean slowly and smoothly about 1/16 inch every five seconds (note: leaning accurately with a quadrant system is difficult due to its mechanical linkage).

For Your Safe Flight Page 24

Lean Find-Activation: When a 15° EGT rise occurs, LeanFind activates (indicated by a cylinder I.D. box flashing over the number of the hottest EGT). Remember: The LeanFind mode is not active until a cylinder I.D. box is flashing. To show the progress of the leaning process, the EDM now displays the hottest EGT in the left side of the digital display and the fuel flow in the right side. This information allows you to observe the EGT behavior throughout the leaning process.

For Your Safe Flight Page 25

Lean Find-Rich Of Peak Detection: Eventually, one cylinder will reach peak before any of the other cylinders. The EDM will determine this automatically. The EDM will indicate success in finding a peak by displaying the word LEANEST for two seconds and flashing its corresponding Cylinder I.D. Box. The Scanner® Information Area will also display the current value for the peaked EGT on the left, and the fuel flow value on the right, for final adjustment of the mixture. The peak EGT value and FF value encountered during leaning is remembered by the EDM and can be displayed by holding the PEAK button during Lean Find Mode.

Lean Find-Finalizing the Rich Of Peak Mixture: You may now enrichen the mixture to operate at peak or continue enriching to a value of your choice (typically between 50 to 100° rich of peak for best power), consistent with the procedures defined in your aircraft and/or engine manual. Note: tap PEAK to see the current difference from the peak temperature. This is handy for finalizing mixture. Tapping EXIT exits the lean find mode and automatic scanning resumes.

Peak Detected - Rich Of Peak Mode

For Your Safe Flight Page 26

Lean Find-Lean Of Peak Detection: Note: This mode should only be used when your engine is equipped with balanced fuel injectors. When using the Lean of Peak mode, you lean until all EGT’s decrease slightly below their respective peaks. The EDM has automatic peak detection and will sequentially indicate leaning progress. When the first EGT peaks, the word LEANEST appears and the cylinder I.D. box highlights the cylinder number. Each column successively drops as leaning continues. When the last column drops (last EGT peaks), RICHEST appears and its respective column flashes momentarily. The last EGT to peak is the one you will use when setting the final mixture.

Lean Find-Finalizing the Lean Of Peak Mixture: The Scanner® Information Area displays the degrees below peak for the last (or richest) EGT to peak, giving you precise information necessary in setting the final mixture. Adjust the mixture to achieve the desired value below peak (using the digital EGT readout) or before engine roughness occurs. Caution: do not lean to the point where the engine runs rough. Note: the peak EGT value encountered during leaning can be recalled by holding the PEAK button. Tapping STEP exits the lean find mode and automatic scanning resumes.

Expanded Leaning Procedures

Lean Of Peak mode: During the ‘lean of peak’ process, the EDM hunts for the last cylinder to peak. Ultimately, you want to have ALL cylinders operating on the lean side of peak. You will final adjust your mixture to this cylinder. To provide a unique graphical depiction during lean of peak operation, the columns become inverted after the first EGT goes just beyond peak. Each EGT column then originates from the top of the display and drops downward. As each subsequent EGT goes past peak, its column will begin falling. The columns length depicts how far the EGT has dropped below its original peak. In this mode, each segment is 5° F. You will continue to lean until the last EGT peaks note: never lean to the point where the engine is running rough). When the last EGT peaks, its column will flash and RICHEST appears. The digital readout will show the current temperature difference from where peak EGT occurred and the current fuel flow (if so equipped). Note: holding the PEAK button will show the captured peak value of the ‘last EGT to peak’ and also the difference in fuel flow between the first and last to peak (known as the GAMI Spread). This is a good indication of injector balance (the smaller the FF difference, the better the balance). Tapping STEP exits the lean find mode and automatic scanning resumes.

Leaning Turbocharged Engines: The leaning process for turbocharged engines is by reference to the first EGT or TIT to reach peak. Therefore you should use the Rich Of Peak mode. The factory TIT red line (typically 1650°F to 1750°F) may limit the leaning process, depending on flight conditions. If TIT exceeds red line (but not by more than 99°), the EDM will allow you to continue leaning for one minute before a TIT alarm activates. NOTE: TIT can read approximately 100°F hotter than the hottest EGT due to unburned fuel in the exhaust igniting and is not necessarily abnormal behavior. The reduced size of the JPI Hastaloy-X-tip probes produce faster response and are more accurate than the massive factory installed probes. Therefore a JPI probe may read as much as 100°F higher than the factory installed probe. However, the certified factory-installed gauge must be obeyed as the limiting factor when adjusting your engine.

For Your Safe Flight Page 28

Section 6 - Fuel Flow Operation

Fuel Management

Without a means of measuring accurate fuel flow, you must rely on the aircraft fuel gauges or total time of flight. Aircraft fuel gauges are notoriously inaccurate (they are only required by the FAA to read accurately when displaying empty). Determining fuel consumption by multiplying time of flight by estimated flow rate is, at best, an approximation, and assumes a constant fuel flow rate for each phase of flight. However, the EDM Fuel Flow Option uses a small, turbine transducer that measures the fuel flowing into the engine. Higher fuel flow causes the transducer turbine to rotate faster which generates a faster pulse rate. Because the transducer turbine generates thousands of pulses per gallon of fuel, it can measure with high resolution the amount of fuel that flows into the engine. Prior to engine start you inform the EDM Fuel Flow Computer system of the known quantity of fuel onboard, it then subsequently tracks all fuel delivered to the engine.

IMPORTANT !

For EDM fuel calculations to be accurate, it is mandatory that you inform the EDM of the correct amount of usable fuel onboard the aircraft and confirm proper operation of the fuel flow transducer prior to and during flight. Do not rely on fuel flow instruments to determine fuel levels in tanks. Refer to original fuel flow instrumentation for primary fuel management information.

For Your Safe Flight Page 29

Start Up Fuel

On power-up, you will be prompted to enter any fuel you might have added to the aircraft (this process updates the REM and USD values). The EDM will flash REFUEL? . If you didn’t add any fuel, simply tap

EXIT to quit, otherwise tap NEXT to pick one of the three quickset choices

below: Choice 1) MAIN 66.0 GAL : Tap SAVE to accept or NEXT for choice

#2. This shortcut sets REM to the MAIN tank value (66 in this case) you set up in your fuel computer.

Choice 2) MAIN + AUX 82.0 GAL : Tap SAVE to accept or NEXT for

choice #3. This shortcut sets REM to the sum of MAIN and AUX you set up in your fuel computer.

Choice 3) Adjust? + 0.0 GAL : Tap either ADD or REMOVE to adjust

REM. Use when adding a partial amount of fuel. Tap SAVE to accept adjustment or NEXT to repeat REFUEL?.

NOTE: If you forgot to perform your EDM REFUEL before starting the engine, it can still be performed. The EDM will automatically subtract any burned fuel from the value you choose (not applicable to the ‘Adjust? + 0.0’ feature)

You are responsible for insuring that your usage of the REFUEL feature results in the EDM’s REM parameter showing the correct amount of usable fuel remaining onboard the aircraft.

The three examples, shown below, depict different aircraft tank configurations and how you can update your EDM after refueling your aircraft. These are meant to be general guidelines.

For Your Safe Flight Page 30

Example A: Aircraft has two fuel tanks with internal tabs.

You’ve preset: ‘MAIN = 66’ (33 + 33 usable)

‘AUX = 16’ (8 + 8 usable)

When you refuel:

‘MAIN 66.0 GAL’: use this shortcut when filling to the internal

tank tabs.

‘MAIN+AUX 82.0 GAL’: use this shortcut when filling to the caps. (only one tank is shown in each of the two scenarios)

MAIN+AUX 82.0 GALMAIN 66.0 GAL

For Your Safe Flight Page 31

Example B: Aircraft has two MAIN and two AUX tanks.

You’ve preset: ‘MAIN = 60’ (30 + 30 usable)

‘AUX = 14’ (7 + 7 usable)

When you refuel:

‘MAIN 60 GAL’: use this shortcut when filling only MAIN tanks

(! AUX tanks must be empty).

‘MAIN+AUX 74 GAL’: use this shortcut when filling MAIN and

AUX tanks.

(only one wing shown in each of the two scenarios)

MAIN+AUX 74.0 GALMAIN 60.0 GAL

For Your Safe Flight Page 32

Example C: Aircraft has two MAIN tanks.

Adjust? + 14.0 GAL

When you partially refuel, use:

‘Adjust? + 0.0 GAL’: use this to add the amount of fuel you

pumped into the aircraft (it doesn’t matter which tanks you added to - the EDM totalizes ALL onboard usable fuel). In this example you will add ‘+ 14.0 GAL’, the same as your fuel slip reads. This will be added to the totalizer REM value.

For Your Safe Flight Page 33

Resetting ‘USD’

USD is automatically reset whenever you perform REFUEL on your EDM (except if TRIP mode = yes).

After filling your tanks and prior to engine start you should inform the EDM that the aircraft has been filled. In this case USD is automatically set to zero.

If you forgot and have already started the engine, and then you inform the EDM that tanks have been filled, then some fuel has already been used. Not to worry as the EDM will automatically set USD to this amount and also subtract it from the REM value, keeping the two values in balance.

To manually zero the amount of fuel USD at any time, manually STEP to display USD and then hold both DIM (button 3) and EGT/FF (button 4) until the display shows ‘.0 USD’ (this normally takes about five seconds).

Trip Mode (Accumulate Trip Totalizer)

Trip mode is typically used if you want to track the total fuel used over a multi-stop cross country. To have the USD parameter continuously accumulate total consumed fuel, set TRIP? Y. ‘Trip Mode’ is described in the ‘Program Mode section’. Note: typically, TRIP? is set to ‘N’ so that USD will be reset every time you fuel the aircraft.

Scanner Fuel Flow Display Select

Button four selects three different Scanner filters - ALL, EGT or FF. Tapping this button will select the next choice (shown after the ‘/’ symbol):

 ALL/EGT: all installed parameters are shown in Scanner.  EGT/FF: only the installed temperature (and battery voltage)

parameters are shown in Scanner.

 FF/ALL: only fuel flow parameters are shown in Scanner.

Note: Scanner filter or mode selection does not affect Alarms or analog displays.

For Your Safe Flight Page 34

Section 7 - Alarms

Whenever a measured parameter falls outside of the normal allowed operating limits, i.e. goes beyond redline, the main display will blink an alert icon. This consists of the current digital value and a flashing red label in the Scanner area and the RAD. For example, if CHT 2 is at 480, and redline is 460, the alert would be displayed as 480 HI CHT2. Other alarm examples are:

2780 HI RPM, 15 LO OIL-PSI, 240 HI OIL-TEMP.

Tapping the CLEAR button extinguishes the alert for ten minutes whereas holding the CLEAR button turns the alarm off for the remainder of the flight.

Primary alarm limits for each specific aircraft model are set by JPI in accordance with the Pilot Operating Handbook and/or TCDS and are not programmable by the pilot. These typically include some or all

of the following measurements: CHT, CDT, O-T, O-P, F-P, GAL LEFT, GAL RIGHT, MAP, RPM, FF, IAT, CRB, and TIT. To view the alarm limits screen, hold button 2 during power up (or hold both buttons 2 & 3 during normal operation), tap NEXT until the list is displayed.

The primary functions for your installation are shown on the Primary label on the back of the instrument and are identical to those specified in the FAA Approved Airplane Flight Manual/Pilot’s Operating Handbook.

Non-primary Alarm Priority

Primary alarms will always have precedence over non-primary alarms. The typical non-primary alarm priorities are as follows:

Highest...........................................................................................Lowest

MIN  REM  DIF  CLD  BUS H  BUS L  AMP

For Your Safe Flight Page 35

Section 8 - Memory and Data Download

The EDM compresses and records all displayed parameters once every six seconds (default) in Long Term Data Memory (note: you can change

this rate to be 2 to 500 seconds). This data is retrievable by inserting a USB Drive into the jack on the front of the instrument and following the prompts. You can choose to retrieve ‘ALL’ the data stored in the EDM, or only the ‘NEW’ data recorded since your last retrieval. In either case, the selected data in the EDM is not erased. The data can later be viewed on EZTrends, a PC program available from JPI or over the internet.

Recording typically begins when EGTs are greater than 500°F or RPM is greater than 500. The amount of data that the EDM can store will vary depending on how rapidly parameters change. The typical storage capacity is greater than 100 hours at a 6 second recording interval, but can vary depending on configuration. When the memory becomes full, the oldest data will be discarded to make room for the newest. All data are time-stamped. The EDM contains a real-time clock that may be set when you initially program your instrument. You may change the recording interval from 2 to 500 seconds, even in flight (when you change the interval in flight, the current flight file is closed and a new flight file is started at the new interval).

For Your Safe Flight Page 36

Downloading Data from the EDM

Section 9 - First Time Setup and Customization

Your EDM comes with most settings programmed. However some settings you will fine tune to your installation and/or preferences. We recommend you perform the following minimum set up:

1. Pilot Programming Mode:

 Set the GPS Communications format to match your type of GPS.  Fine tuning of fuel flow K-factor is important as it affects your

fuel computer parameter accuracies.

 Set the Engine HP equal to your engines rated horsepower.  Perform the HP Constant set up for best accuracy of the Percent

Horsepower readout.

 Optionally fine tune other parameters such as MAP, OAT.

2. EDM Screen Customization

Use ‘EDM Config’ to customize your EDM. All EDM930 and

EDM960 units manufactured or updated after Sep 15, 2012 have the EDM Configuration Editor built into a separate utility memory area of the EDM.

To start the EDM Configuration Editor, hold the left two EDM buttons (STEP & LF) while powering up the EDM. This will start the EDM in a special AppLoader mode. Once the EDM Configuration Editor program is found, a button will be labeled CFG EDITOR. Press the button to run the EDM Configuration Editor program.

When EDM Configuration Editor starts, it will show a startup screen titled EDM960 Configuration Editor or EDM930 Configuration Editor that lists the version information for the Editor.

3. Fuel Level Calibration

 Fuel Level calibration must be performed before the fuel level

feature will function.

 Collect your calibration data for various fuel tank levels (called

points) by putting the EDM into the ‘Fuel Level Readings’ mode. Carefully review readings during the process to insure the

For Your Safe Flight Page 38

calibration data is sensible, correct and useable. Note: Please refer to the installation manual for accessing fuel tables and calibration on page 22 item 24.4.

Fuel Flow K factor

The K factor is shown on the fuel flow transducer as a hand written fourdigit number, which represents the number of pulses per tenth gallon of fuel flow. Before installing the transducer, record its K factor here _________. The EDM stores the K Factor in the form 29.12, i.e. if the transducer K factor is 2912, you would enter 29.12 in the EDM’s K factor field.

Fine Tuning the K factor

The K factor shown on the fuel flow transducer does not take into account your aircraft’s particular installation. Fuel hose diameters and lengths, elbows, fittings and routing can cause the true K factor to be different from that shown on the fuel flow transducer. Fine tuning is accomplished over multiple flights of sufficient duration and repeatable conditions. Use the process below to calculate and correct the K Factor to achieve maximum performance. Note: This process adjusts the K factor only half of the correction. We recommend this because it minimizes ‘chasing’ a correction target back and forth.

Section 10 - Custom Key Card

The EDM contains a Key Card which customizes it for your aircraft.

This card defines fixed primary instrument limits and ranges, EDM serial number and make, model and year of your aircraft. You cannot exchange it with any other EDM. Typical parameters include:

oil temp, oil pressure, fuel pressure, fuel quantity, cylinder head temp, turbine inlet temp, manifold pressure, and RPM. Do not remove the Key Card from the instrument. If your EDM should ever have to be replaced with a different unit, the factory will reprogram your Key Card to match the new serial number. Always confirm that your aircraft make and model are initially shown in the RAD upon power up.

For Your Safe Flight Page 46

Section 11 - Setting Fuel Calibration Points

WARNING:

 Never add or remove fuel from the aircraft when the master

switch is turned on.

 Fuel quantity gauge performance is affected by many factors,

such as the integrity of the sensor performance, the accuracy of the calibration data you collected and entered and most importantly your validation that the EDM fuel quantity gauge is accurate and repeatable after installation and calibration. You should not use the fuel quantity gauge system for any flight related operations until this validation criteria has been met.

The EDM interfaces to various fuel level sensor types to facilitate direct reading of the fuel level in the aircraft fuel tanks. The EDM has a multipoint fuel calibration table that you must enter. This table contains calibration values (stored in non-volatile memory) used to translate sensor readings into the displayed fuel quantity values. The calibration information is collected and recorded on paper for later entry into the EDM. NOTE: Fuel quantity gauges will not be functional until the fuel calibration information has been entered into the EDM. You will use the EDM instrument itself as the measuring device to collect calibration data. Refer to Installation Manual Report 908 for expanded information on fuel level system implementation.

The following describes the basic procedures necessary for collection and entry of data into the fuel level calibration table. Note: Any changes to fuel table data will be temporary until you execute the ’SAVE’ function (available after last cell of the last tank table is entered).

Before beginning the fuel table entry/edit process, you must have properly installed and tested for correct functionality of the fuel sensors.

Capturing the sender reading at each calibration point:

Readings

Getting Started…Collecting Fuel Level Calibration Data using the

EDM as a meter.

1. With power off, hold in Button 4 (Button 1 being far left) and

then turn on power. For each EDM monitored tank, create a paper table with the desired number of calibration points (2 to 5) and at what volume each will be. Number of calibration points to be entered into the system later. The zero gallon point reading is always taken with unusable fuel in the tank. Example of a completed 3 point table for LEFT tank:

LEFT

F 39.0 GAL 1907

2 19.5 GAL 1154

E 0.0 GAL 685

2. This screen provides real-time readings of all active fuel level

sensors. Verify readings look normal. Reading are arbitrary whole numbers

3. Now add fuel as needed to match the required volume for a

particular point. Allow this to settle, then take a reading and record it on paper adjacent to that point.

4. Repeat this process until all points, 2 to 5, have been recorded

for each tank.

For Your Safe Flight Page 48

After you have collected your data

After you have collected your data…Entering / Editing Fuel Level Calibration Data

The Fuel Table Editor is a spreadsheet type format allowing you to easily see the volume and related calibration values side by side. You can easily navigate through the cells to enter values.

1. With power off, hold in Button 3 (Button 1 being far left) and

then turn on power. Wait until you see ‘Do you agree with the disclaimer?’. Tap YES if you agree and wish to continue.

2. Tap YES when you see ‘Do you have table data?’.

For Your Safe Flight Page 49

3. Tap USER when you see ‘Do you want to restore user table?’

Note: tapping FACTORY causes the fuel table stored on the Key Card to over-write any previous user entries in the fuel table. Use FACTORY if you want to start from the original factory default.

4. Tap POINTS when you see ‘Do you want to edit the table?’.

For Your Safe Flight Page 50

5. You see ‘Points in LEFT’, the current calibration points for the

LEFT tank.

6. Tap/hold VALUE to change to the desired number of calibration

points for this tank (2 to 5). Each Tank can have a different set of calibration points. So 5 points for Main and 2 points for Aux.

7. Tap TANK to select the next active tank and repeat previous

step. Continue until all tanks ‘points’ have been set.

8. Tap TABLE. You see ‘Fuel Table Data’ ( White at top of screen)

with a table.

For Your Safe Flight Page 51

9. Tap/hold STEP to select the cell you want to edit. Tap EDIT to

change the value. Tap SAVE to record it. Follow the on-screen menus to edit the value. Keep tapping DIGIT to move it across.

10. Repeat previous step until all tanks data have been entered.

11. You see ‘Save fuel tank data?’. Answer SAVE to store all final

data values or CANCEL to return to table editing.

Troubleshooting the EDM

Common Misapplications

Problem Situation Correction

A power transient

Display freezes or may be incorrect

LeanFind finds a “peak” too soon

Peak not found during LeanFind

Off-scale EGT columns, too high or low

could cause the processors to malfunction Failure to pre-lean before performing LeanFind or stopping while leaning Leaning too slowly Lean more rapidly Lean Find not activated or stopping while leaning Off-scale EGT column readings. EDM in the Normalize view (blue scales)

Recycle the power to the EDM

Continue to lean without stopping

Lean at the speed of approximately 10°F per second The higher sensitivity of the Normalize view can quickly go too high or low off-scale with only small changes in EGT.

First cylinder to peak is not the hottest EGTs rise during single magneto check EGTs not uniform during low power operation

This is normal. The first to cylinder peak is not necessarily the hottest This is normal, due to incomplete combustion persisting longer This is normal. Fuel and air distribution is not optimal at low power settings

Diagnostic Testing on Startup and During Flight

When your EDM is first turned on it tests internal components, calibration and integrity of the probes. Most alarms are disabled until the engine has been started.

During flight, probes are constantly checked for inconsistent or intermittent signals. A faulty channel or probe encountered during startup or during flight will be deleted from the sequence, producing a missing column or blank digital data.

TSO-only differences from Primary Instruments

TSO-only models have the following differences from the Primary models.

 If multiple alarms occur simultaneously, the higher priority

alarm will temporarily “mask” the lower priority alarm(s). When an alarm occurs, tap the Clear button to clear the alarm indication so that you will be notified of any other alarm that might have occurred. The alarm priorities are as follows:

Highest priority

Lowest priority

CHT

O-T

 Aircraft make and model will not be shown in the RAD upon

power up and will not be continuously shown on the bottom of the display window.

 The user can change factory set ranges and alarm limits.  The Key Card is not programmed with the make, model and year

of your aircraft.

 RAD alarm displays will be cleared and disabled along with the

alarms displayed in the Scanner section.

For Your Safe Flight Page 56

 JPI Hastaloy-X probes may read as much as 100°F higher than

the factory installed TIT probe. However, note that the engine was certified with the factory-installed TIT probe and gauge, and this gauge reading is the limiting factor when adjusting your engine.

 The user can assign the nine graphs in the bar graphs section to

the desired measurements .

 Most measurements can be excluded from the Automatic mode.

Shock Cooling

Cooling the cylinders too fast can result in cracking and eventual failure. Lycoming Service Instruction 1094D (March 25, 1994) on Fuel Mixture

Leaning Procedures states:

“At all times, caution must be taken not to shock cool the cylinders. The maximum recommended temperature change should not exceed 50°F per minute.”

JPI checks shock cooling on all cylinders displaying the highest reading cylinder.

Navigation Data Formats

Output of GPS; input to EDM. The EDM automatically configures itself for one of three industry standard data formats:

Format Baud

NMEA-183 (Marine Nav Data Format)

4,800

This is the format for most handheld GPS receivers. Loran must have sentences RMA & RMB. GPS must have sentences RMB & RMC.

Aviation Data Format

Northstar (Northstar binary)

9,600

1,200 M1 setup select “NO EXTENDED”, “NAV ONLY”

“Output sentence type 1” Required sentences are: A, B, C, D, E, I and L first character identifier byte. Sentence terminator may be either <CR><LF> or <CR> alone.

Navigation Data Ports for GPS Comm

(These ports are independent of the EDM serial data output port.)

Navigation Data (output from GPS; input to EDM)

Compatible with RS-232, TTL, RS-423, RS-422 SDA. Serial format: 8 data, 1 start, no parity. Baud 1200, 4800, or 9600, depending on the GPS data output format. The EDM automatically detects the GPS data output format and is independent of the GPS-C setting.

Fuel Data (input to GPS; output from EDM)

RS-232 Serial format: 8 data, 1 start, no parity. Baud 9600. Output format is determined by the GPS-C setting, but may be over-ridden by the GPS navigation format: If the EDM senses Northstar or NMEA-183 navigation data input, there will be no fuel data output.
