3.4 FLIGHT LIMITATIONS
There are no flight limitations to the RCA2600-P Series Attitude Indicator. The instrument will operate in a full 360 degrees of turn
and may be used in light aerobatic type maneuvers.
Extreme turns may cause the instrument display to temporarily disable itself. This is indicated by a red “X” across the screen and
an “Exceed Bank Angle” warning notice at the bottom of the screen. The instrument should automatically reset the display within
3 to 10 seconds. This situation is due to the speed the processor repaints the display. The attitude sensors are not affected so it is
not necessary to level the aircraft while the display resets. Unlike mechanical gyros, extreme maneuvers will not cause any harm to
the instrument.
3.5 EMERGENCY PROCEDURES
In the rare event that your RCA2600-P does not reset itself, you will need to pull power to the unit and reset the circuit breaker.
This will restart the unit and you can continue on without damage to the unit. You do not need to be flying level while the unit resets.
In a low voltage situation, the RCA2600-P will show a “Low Voltage” warning notice at the bottom of the screen. This notice will
appear when the voltage goes below 11 volts. This notice will also indicate the amount of voltage the instrument is receiving. At 8.5
volts, a red “X” will appear across the screen indicating that the instrument reading is unreliable.
It is recommended that you install the Kelly Manufacturing ESP-1 (Emergency Standby Power) backup battery unit. This will
ensure that your instrument will have power in the event of Aircraft power failure. Contact your R.C. Allen/Kelly Mfg. distributor for
additional information about this product.
In the event that the pitot-static input is blocked, the internal accelerometers will continue to calculate airspeed and give an
accurate reading of pitch and roll.

3.3 IN-FLIGHT PROCEDURES - DIMMER
On startup, the RCA2600-P defaults at its maximum brightness. You may adjust the screen brightness at any time by pressing the
DIMMER PUSH BUTTONS (DIM).
Press and hold the DIM (▼) or BRIGHTEN (▲) PUSH BUTTON until you reach the desired setting and release, or tap each button
for incremental steps (See figure 3.2 for dimming controls).
On non-Pitch Sync models (-G models), pressing both buttons simultaneously will reset the brightness to maximum.
On Pitch Sync models, pressing both buttons simultaneously will turn the PITCH SYNC feature on (as shown
by the PITCH SYNC ‘ON’ INDICATOR). Press both buttons again to turn the PITCH SYNC off if it is not
needed. Refer to Section 3.2 for more information on the PITCH SYNC feature.
