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 Constants 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. Go to
www.jpitech.com
and click ‘Technical Support’, then ‘EDM
Config’ and follow the instructions to create the editor on a USB
Drive. Print the Help Instruction PDF’s and follow these on how to
use the editor with the EDM. NOTE: If your unit was
manufactured prior to June 3
rd
, 2010 then contact the factory to
discuss customization.
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
calibration data is sensible, correct and useable.
Enter the data by putting the EDM into ‘Fuel Table Data’ mode
and entering your values into each tanks chart.
