100%. If the factor is increased, a higher fuel flow will be displayed. If the factor is
decreased, a lower fuel flow is indicated.
Factor > 100 = higher fuel flow indication
Factor < 100 = lower fuel flow indication
WARNING!
If the calibration is done incorrectly, the

fuel flow and tank state!
5.3.9 Display of Fuel State
The maximum tank capacity is set in SET-Mode 2. The fuel state is
displayed with a easy to read bar graph, one bar of the graph
represents 10% of the maximum fuel capacity. 10 bars represent
100% = tank full, 1 bar represents 10% = reserve! The fuel state is
not measured directly in the tank but is computed from tank
capacity and fuel flow. When 10% are reached, an audio and visuell
alarm is sounded through the Intercom and the 10% bar starts
flashing. Just before the tank is empty, all bars start to flash and
the Intercom-Alarm is sounded.
5.3.10 How to enter the Actual Fuel State after filling up
Switch to SET-Mode 1 by pressing the >
FUNC/SET
< key for a few seconds. After
pressing >
ENTER/MEMO
< the >SET< icon starts to flash. This indicates that a value
can be changed. Now the maximum tank capacity is displayed. If you have really filled
up the tank just press >
ENTER/MEMO
< again and the value for full tank is stored.
If the tank is not filled up completely (e.g. when filling up from Jerry cans) you can
also store any value you want (in Litres or US-Gallons). The desired value is adjusted
by pressing the >ARROW< keys.

5.4 Cylinder Head Temperature (CHT) and Exhaust Gas Temperature
(EGT)
The temperatures of two cylinders are simultaneously monitored by the
ALPHA

ALPHA
ALPHA
MFD
with standard NiCrNi thermoelements (Type K). By pressing the >TEMP< key, the
exhaust gas temperature (EGT), the cylinder head temperature (CHT) and oil and
water temperature can be displayed.
Of course the four Type K ports of the

for monitoring the EGT of 4 cylinders. This mode can be set in SET-Mode 28. In this
