3.4  FLIGHT LIMITATIONS

There are no flight limitations to the 

RCA2610

 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.

NOTE

This article meets the minimum performance and quality control standards required by a technical standard 

order (TSO). Installation of this article requires separate approval.

3.5  EMERGENCY PROCEDURES

In the rare event that your 

RCA2610

 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 

RCA2610

 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.

3.3  IN-FLIGHT PROCEDURES - DIMMER

On startup, the RCA2610  defaults at its maximum brightness. You may adjust the screen brightness at any time with the DIMMER 

PUSH BUTTONS (DIM). 

Press and hold the DIM (▼) or BRIGHTEN (▲) PUSH BUTTONS until you reach the desired setting and release, or tap each but

-

ton 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. 

If you press both buttons simultaneously, you 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.
