PANEL TILT
The PANEL TILT setting allows the installer to input the angle of the instrument panel so
that the attitude indicator will show zero pitch when in level flight. Use the control knob
to change the value of each panel tilt digit and press the control knob to acknowledge
each selection and advance to the next one. See Figure 4.12.
NOTE: It is extremely important to measure and input the panel tilt angle accurately
for proper operation of the unit. Panel tilt should be measured using a digital level or
equivalent within ±0.5° when in level flight or as simulated on the ground. See the unit
specifications for the total range of acceptable panel tilt angles.

RANGE MMO
The RANGE MMO setting allows the installer to input the maximum operating Mach
number specific to the aircraft. This is represented by a moving “barber pole” (red and
white striped) color bar to the left of the airspeed tape that adjusts with varying airspeed
and altitude. NOTE: THIS ONLY APPLIES TO AIRCRAFT WHICH PUBLISH A MAXIMUM
OPERATING MACH NUMBER. The value should be zero for those aircraft which do not
publish a maximum operating Mach number (M
MO
). Use the control knob to change the
value of each digit and press the control knob to acknowledge each selection and
advance to the next one. See Figure 4.13.
