24-2. Description – Engine Monitor
Later F-28F and all 280FX production aircraft are equipped with an engine monitor as an
aid for fuel mixture leaning in cruising flight. The engine monitor replaces the turbocharger
inlet temperature gauge (analog indicator) used in 280F and early F-28F production aircraft.
NOTE
For F-28F aircraft equipped with the analog indicator, the term defining
the temperature of the exhaust gases delivered into the turbocharger
unit is designated as exhaust gas temperature (EGT).
For F-28F and 280FX aircraft equipped with an engine monitor, the EGT
term is replaced by the designation turbine inlet temperature (TIT). The
term EGT is retained but is designated as the temperature of exhaust
gas of the individual cylinders.
Therefore, in portions of paragraph 7-11 and applicable text stated
elsewhere in this manual, note that the term EGT is synonymous with
the term TIT if the aircraft is equipped with the analog indicator.
Later production F-28F (S/N 830 and prior) and 280FX (S/N 2139 and prior) are equipped
with the Graphic Engine Monitor (GEM) Model 603 or Model 610. Current production F-28F
(S/N 831 and subsequent) and 280FX (S/N 2140 and subsequent) are equipped with the
Engine Data Management (EDM) Model EDM-700.
The GEM and EDM models display EGT and cylinder head temperature (CHT) in bar
graphs, one for each cylinder. TIT is displayed digitally for both models and is also
displayed in bar graph on the EDM model. The GEM 610 and EDM-700 also display EGT,
CHT, and outside air temperature (OAT) digitally. The EDM-700 also monitors and displays
rate of change of CHT (CLD), maximum EGT differential (DIF), and voltage (BAT).
NOTE
For Model 603, the TIT is displayed as a three-digit number (equal to the
actual TIT in °F divided by 10); for Model 610, TIT is displayed as a four-
digit number.
Figure 24-1 depicts the location of the engine monitoring instrument.
