This function sets the top end of your temperature bar graph. It has no effect on the actual
temperature range that can be displayed in the digital temperature readout. Select the range to be
just higher than the highest temperature you expect to measure using this channel.
Select this function to “ON” if you want the bar graph display to show the upper half of the
temperature range only. This results in a higher resolution of the temperature range you may be
interested in. For engine temperature measurements we recommend that you set this to “ON”.
Adjust the temperature that you would like to use as an alarm limit. Any temperature above this limit
will activate the alarm. Active alarms will flash the affected channel and also activate the alarm
contact that you can use to switch a lamp on.
Select whether you want to turn the alarm on or off. To avoid false activation of the alarms, the
alarm function is only activated 10 seconds after the instrument has powered up.
Select if you are using a K-type, J-type or E-type thermocouple probe for this channel. All probes
supplied by MGL Avionics are K-Type. J-types are sometimes used with American made CHT
probes. All EGT probes are K-type. E-type probes are seldom used.
Choose one of a selection of labels to suit your channel so you can identify it easily.
