Main Tank Capacity
Enter the total capacity of the main tanks in the fuel flow units selected. If
you have tank tabs (but no auxiliary tanks) and sometimes fill only to the
tabs, set the main tank capacity to the capacity up to the tabs.
Auxiliary Tanks
If you do not have auxiliary tanks or tank tabs, answer “No.” If you
answer “Yes,” you will be asked to input the capacity of the auxiliary
tanks in the fuel flow units selected. If you have tank tabs and sometimes
fill only to the tabs, set the auxiliary tank capacity to the difference
between full tank capacity and tab capacity. The EDM-760/790 does not
differentiate fuel flow between the main and auxiliary tanks; it tracks only
total
fuel in the aircraft.
Low Time Alarm Limit
Select the value of the time remaining, in minutes, that triggers the alarm.
Time remaining is calculated at the current fuel flow rate.
Low Fuel Alarm Limit
Select the value of the fuel remaining, in the selected fuel flow units, that
triggers the alarm. Fuel remaining is calculated at the current fuel flow
rate.
Carburetor?
Different response filters are used depending on whether your engines are
carbureted or fuel injected. The filter for a carbureted engine has a slower
response time to reduce sudden fluctuations in readings.
